Falling For His Hidden Marriage Little Wife-Chapter 15 - Punished to Do Chores
Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Punished to Do Chores
"You're saying I'm a flirt?" Su Jinqi was ashamed and angry, her voice unconsciously getting louder: "Am I not allowed any contact with other men after getting married? We're not in feudal society anymore!"
Li Jinghan's face was stern as he warned her: "Don't forget who you are now. Even if it's not public, it's a fact. If I catch you meeting with other men again, be careful or I'll break your legs!"
"Why? I have friends too!" Su Jinqi, much shorter than him, tilted her head up defiantly and argued, "Qiyang is not some random man, he's my neighbor, my friend. Why won't you allow us to have contact?"
After she shouted, her heart violently drummed, genuinely afraid that he would slap her across the face, leaving her seeing stars!
Li Jinghan's expression darkened further, and he stepped forward, scaring Su Jinqi into taking a step back.
"You're now part of the Li Family, don't do anything that disgraces the Li Family!" He said with a frown: "I don't want to have to speak about this matter again. Behave yourself and do well as the Young Mistress of the Li Family—give me less trouble!"
"You came back late today, as punishment, you have to wipe the floors in the house, by hand!" After that, Li Jinghan turned and went upstairs.
Su Jinqi was very angry, not about the punishment work, but because of his words.
"I haven't done anything to disgrace the Li Family, and I haven't caused trouble for you. I was just interacting normally with a friend. Why can't I? Why do you have to be so dominating? There's no love between us; you have no control over me!"
Li Jinghan continued upstairs, coldly dropping a sentence: "Then try it and see if I can control you or not!"
Su Jinqi deflated, sitting down on the sofa and took out her phone to send a reassuring WeChat message to Ye Qiyang. He immediately replied, telling her to rest early.
Mrs. Hui came over and consoled her: "Qiqi, the Young Master is also doing this for your own good. He was worried because you came back late."
Heh. Su Jinqi sneered in her heart, she wouldn't be so naive to think that he was worried about her; what he was concerned about was the Li Family's face!
"Mrs. Hui, you should go to bed, I still have to wipe the floor," Su Jinqi said, holding her coat and bag heading toward the room.
Mrs. Hui followed, saying, "The Young Master just said that in the heat of the moment, just wiping the living room will do. I'll clean it up tomorrow morning, he won't even notice."
"Thank you, Mrs. Hui," Su Jinqi put her hands on the old woman's shoulders and said, "I shouldn't be lazy, there are surveillance cameras in the house. If he finds out, even you will be implicated."
Mrs. Hui, seeing that she was so determined, did not say any more, only reminding her, "The house isn't dirty, don't work too late."
"Goodnight, Mrs. Hui."
After returning to her room and washing up, she tied her hair up high and changed into home clothes before coming out to start wiping the floor.
The Li Family house was large, with plenty to clean upstairs and downstairs, all by hand—there was a significant amount of work. Su Jinqi was angry inside; at the start, she vented her anger onto the rag, wiping vigorously. But before long, she was physically exhausted, panting heavily.
Working during the day, visiting the hospital in the evening, and now doing chores upon returning home, and it's already late at night, who would have the energy for that? Su Jinqi sat down on the floor, leaning against a pillar, angrily tossing the rag into the basin and cursing Li Jinghan.
She didn't curse with swear words; the same few sentences revolved in her mouth—idiot, huge meanie, inhumane—like a primary school student bickering.
"It seems you're not tired yet; you still have the energy to curse someone." Suddenly, Li Jinghan's voice came from behind her, startling her, and she quickly stood up to look.
"You..." Caught in the act, Su Jinqi didn't know what to say out of nervousness.
Li Jinghan said: "Since you're not too tired, go ahead and clear all the snow in the yard as well."
Watching him leave, Su Jinqi bit her teeth in anger, "What kind of person is he!"

After wiping the floors completely, it was almost two in the morning. Su Jinqi changed back into her clothes, fully geared up with a hat and gloves, and started sweeping the snow in the yard with a broom.
Uncle Kui's back had been bothering him these past two days, and the snow hadn't been swept yet. She didn't expect this task to fall on her. It was freezing in the latter half of the night, with the north wind howling, her body chill to the bone. Su Jinqi took a deep breath and forcefully swept away the snow. After just five or six minutes, she was sweating, no longer feeling as cold.
When tired, she would stop to rest for a while, looking up at the sky. In the pitch-black night sky, a bright moon accompanied and watched over her.
