AUBTN -Chapter 275 Little Whip

The night grew deeper, but the secret chamber was a completely different scene.

Several large night pearls illuminated the room as brightly as daylight.

On the table were a few exquisite Jiangnan pastries and a pot of warm tea.

Su Hewan held an ancient book in her hands, yet she hadn’t turned a single page for a long while. Her gaze kept drifting toward the tightly shut stone door.

“Hey, stop staring already. Don’t you trust those two handling things?”

Yu Qing lay lazily on a soft couch like she had no bones, a piece of osmanthus cake stuffed in her mouth as she mumbled indistinctly.

Su Hewan shot her an annoyed look.

“I’m thinking… that old fox Zhou Wenhai is naturally suspicious. What if he notices something’s off and doesn’t give the medicine directly?”

Yu Qing struggled to swallow her cake, then suddenly sat up with a flash of gossiping excitement in her eyes.

“Wanyan, forget that old fox for now. Let’s talk about something more exciting!”

She chuckled slyly and leaned closer to Su Hewan like a cunning little fox, lowering her voice.

“That old injury on Xia Dong’s body yesterday… do you really think it was from… bedroom fun?”

Su Hewan’s hand holding the book froze slightly.

“From the pulse and the depth of the wounds, the person who did it was very controlled and didn’t damage the bones. Most likely, yes.”

Yu Qing immediately gasped, covering her face with both hands, looking deeply shocked.

“Oh my god! People in ancient times played that wild?!”

“I thought they were all old-fashioned and proper, following strict etiquette!”

“I didn’t expect them to be so… into that stuff! Totally S&M vibes!”

Su Hewan rubbed her forehead helplessly, her cheeks faintly flushing.

“Keep your voice down. Do you want to die if someone hears you?”

But Yu Qing only grew more excited, waving her hands animatedly.

“Who cares! There’s no one here but us sisters!”

She rolled her eyes and suddenly looked Su Hewan up and down, her smile turning a little… mischievous.

“Wanyan…”

“That Director Shen always looks cold and gloomy, like an ice statue—totally a forbidden, abstinent boss type.”

“Do you think… behind closed doors, he might be into this kind of thing too?”

Su Hewan’s face instantly turned red to her ears!

“Yu Qing! What nonsense are you talking about?!”

Yu Qing wasn’t scared at all. Instead, she leaned closer, smiling like a suspicious madam.

“Oh come on, we’re modern people, what’s there to be embarrassed about!”

“Think about it—he suppresses himself so much all the time. Maybe there’s a wild beast living inside him!”

“Next time you should buy a little whip, and the two of you could try—”

“Shut up!!”

Su Hewan, utterly humiliated and furious, threw the ancient book aside and pounced to cover Yu Qing’s mouth.

“You little brat, what kind of dirty nonsense is in your head all day?!”

“You even dare joke about Shen Jue—what, you’re not afraid of him anymore?”

Yu Qing nimbly dodged her, laughing as she ran around the chamber.

“I’m not afraid! If you dare think it, why not admit it?”

“I think you’re the one getting tempted! Maybe I should get you a little whip next time!”

“With Shen Dudu’s body and face, if he actually got into… tsk—he’d absolutely kill someone!”

The two girls chased and playfully fought inside the chamber.

However, neither of them noticed that the stone door had silently cracked open a sliver at some point.

Outside the door, two tall figures stood frozen in place.

Lu Yan’s hand was still in the motion of pushing the door open—his entire body seemed struck by lightning, completely petrified.

His usually cold and stern face was now flushed bright red.

“Tied up…?”

“A whip…?”

This… what on earth kind of outrageous talk is this?!

Shen Jue stood to the side, a flash of surprise first appearing in his eyes. Then his dark pupils slowly filled with a thick layer of amusement.

Listening to the two young girls talking and laughing freely inside the room without restraint.

Shen Jue didn’t get angry at all—instead, a smile curved at the corner of his lips.

The stone door was pushed open heavily.

The two girls who had been tickling each other inside the secret chamber froze instantly.

Su Hewan was still sitting on top of Yu Qing, her hands pinching her armpits.

Yu Qing, meanwhile, was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face. Her clothes were disheveled, her hair bun crooked—she had completely lost all sense of elegance or image.

Their eyes met.

“What kind of indecency is this!”

Lu Yan abruptly turned his face away, not daring to look at the two girls whose clothes were in disarray.

He clenched his back teeth, his voice filled with barely contained panic, embarrassment, and fury.

He even reached out and pulled Shen Jue aside, forcing him to turn his back to the girls.

“You two, as women, how can you… how can you shamelessly discuss such indecent matters behind people’s backs!”

“You are utterly disgraceful! You are corrupting the moral atmosphere!”

Lu Yan took several deep breaths, but his reddened ears completely betrayed his pure-hearted nature.

Yu Qing immediately stood up from the ground, casually patting her clothes. Not only was she unafraid, she even rolled her eyes in defiance.

“Acting all pure and innocent, huh? Men like you already have three wives and four concubines, with a bunch of maidservants on the side—you probably know even more than I do!”

Lu Yan nearly choked on his breath at this outrageous remark!

“Nonsense! Who has three wives and four concubines!” He noticed Yu Qing approaching and turned back to glare at her fiercely, yet still found himself completely helpless against this young lady.

Meanwhile, Su Hewan was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole in the ground with her toes and bury herself in it.

She hurriedly fixed her hair, kept her head down, and stared firmly at her shoes, not daring to meet Shen Jue’s eyes at all.

Shen Jue, however, did not become angry like Lu Yan.

His folding fan turned in his hand before snapping open with a sharp sound.

He walked slowly to the table, his deep eyes carrying a smile.

His gaze fell on Su Hewan’s delicate, flushed face.

“Wanwan.”

His voice was low and lazy, the ending tone slightly raised, carrying a bewitching charm.

“Seems like… there are quite a lot of bedroom interests in that little head of yours that even we don’t know about.”

He deliberately emphasized the words “bedroom interests,” his tone extremely suggestive.

Su Hewan’s face turned even redder as she stammered in panic, “N-no! It was Yu Qing talking nonsense!”

Yet Shen Jue did not let it go. He lifted her chin lightly with the tip of his folding fan, forcing her to look up.

“Oh?”

“But didn’t I just hear someone say they wanted to buy me a whip and rope?”

His gaze deepened, a dangerous spark flickering within.

“If Wanwan truly has such interests, I wouldn’t necessarily refuse to cooperate.”

At these words, Su Hewan felt like she was about to explode from embarrassment.

【Shen Jue, you pervert—you actually have that kind of hobby?!】

Hearing this inner thought, Shen Jue’s eyes darkened instantly, and the smile at his lips deepened.

“Shen Jue!”

Lu Yan truly could not listen any longer and glared at him angrily.

“You actually indulge them in talking nonsense like this!”

“They’re immature, but are you going mad with them too?!”

Lu Yan looked like a strict, disappointed father desperately trying to defend old-fashioned etiquette.

But Shen Jue refused to back down. With a snap, he closed his folding fan and let out a cold laugh.

“Lord Lu, that’s rather unreasonable of you.”

“I’m merely discussing marital intimacy with my own wife—how is that any of your concern?”

“Or is Lord Lu a humorless wooden block, living like an ascetic monk, and expecting everyone else to become monks alongside you?”
