Volume 1, Chapter 47: Let the Darling Solve It Himself

Su Yu was tossed directly into the bathtub, and that drab little grey dress had long since vanished without a trace.

"Siyan, get out..."

Su Yu covered her body with her hands. "I can wash myself!"

Siyan refused to listen. Instead, he forcefully pulled her hands away and scrubbed her repeatedly. "Covering yourself up again? I've told you before, baby, I've kissed every single inch of you."

"You should know that best of all, shouldn't you, baby?"

Hearing his words, Su Yu felt a tightening in her lower abdomen.

She snatched the bath sponge from the man's hand, turned around, and began washing herself.

He was such a bad influence; every other word out of his mouth was about *that* matter.

She would just ignore him!

Having his bath sponge snatched away, Siyan instantly looked aggrieved. Losing the sponge meant being stripped of his right to bathe his precious baby.

He would not allow it!

"You're not being good, baby. You're not being good at all. I used to wash you every time before, so how can you wash yourself now?"

Su Yu ignored him.

Given the silent treatment, Siyan felt utterly depressed. He wrapped Su Yu up in a large bath towel and carried her away from where she was hiding.

On the bed, Siyan dressed her. The moment Su Yu was about to mention needing a sanitary napkin, she found that her underpants had already been fitted with one when he pulled them up.

The man carried her over to blow-dry her hair. The low humming sound filled the room!

Every single strand of her hair was meticulously cared for by the man—jet-black, glossy, and treated with utmost delicacy!

Siyan hugged her from behind, a flash of predatory hunger in his eyes. "Baby, can you help me..."

"No. Solve it yourself."

Without a second thought, Su Yu stood up and walked away. She was definitely not going to do *that* kind of thing for him.

It was utterly humiliating!

He was the only one who enjoyed it. She had only helped him resolve it twice before when his body hadn't been cooperating.

If he hadn't begged her and kept saying it would be over very quickly!

She never would have agreed.

And yet what was the result? It took well over an hour and still wasn't over!

If she refused to continue!

He would even spread rumors that she was trying to suffocate him, as if that thing belonged to anyone else.

How could Siyan possibly hold back...

The man pounced on her, and the two of them tumbled onto the nearby lazy sofa.

"Baby, I haven't had any for several days now. Can't you just help me out?"

"It won't take long. It'll be over really soon."

"Your hand won't get very tired, and it won't hurt at all." The man put on a pitiful expression, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

"If I burst from holding it in, my little baby won't get to enjoy my pampering anymore..."

Siyan opened his mouth and gently nibbled on her soft cheek. His baby was truly delicate in every way—and she was raised by him!

Hearing the man's words, Su Yu mentally applauded.

She dearly hoped Siyan would break down; that way, she could suffer a little less.

"I said, solve it yourself!"

"If you break, I'll just go find another one."

She had her ultimate get-out-of-jail-free card right now: her period!

She wasn't afraid of this scoundrel of a man at all.

"You dare!"

"Hmph, you cold-hearted, merciless woman!"

Siyan raised his gaze to stare at the woman he had spoiled to the point of being headstrong. His tone carried a trace of exasperated gnashing of teeth, mixed with a hidden, displaced grievance.

He paused, then added as if dropping a harsh threat:

"You just wait for me, darling. Once we get married, I'm going to torment you until you can't even get out of bed!"

The man abruptly stood up from Su Yu's lap, without saying another word, and silently walked into the bathroom.

His reflection in the mirror showed a cold expression, yet his hands carefully gripped the underwear Su Yu had just taken off. He turned on the faucet, his movements involuntarily gentling.

Not only did she refuse to help him, but she even said she'd find someone else if he broke down.

Staring through the mirror at the pampered figure lounging lazily on the sofa and swinging her legs freely, Siyan tightened his grip on the underwear until his knuckles turned white.

The rotten little baby was just taking advantage of the fact that he couldn't touch her right now.

Riding roughshod over him and acting all triumphant!

If she ever dared to look for another man, he would definitely kill him.

Bad woman!

Siyan washed her underwear clean, then brought it up to his nose and took a sniff.

It smelled fragrant and wonderful!

The man went out to hang her underwear to dry.

Out on the balcony, a phone call rang in!

Standing on the balcony in the chilly wind, Siyan's hair was somewhat disheveled. This woman simply didn't care about him at all.

She only cared about watching television!

Siyan slid his finger across the screen, answered the call, and spoke in a flat, emotionless tone: "Speak."

"Master, the matter has been thoroughly investigated."

The person on the other end of the line hurriedly reported, "It was General Manager Xin whose capital chain broke. The President of the Northern Country approached him, wanting to purchase a batch of military weapons that were slated for maintenance."

"That man Xin does nothing all day long—when has this lord ever shortchanged him?!"

Siyan couldn't understand. How could someone living a life with a daily allowance of thirty thousand still find it unfulfilling?

"It's his profligate son. He got hopelessly hooked at a casino and ran up millions in usury debt, a financial hole he simply couldn't fill."

"That's why he took such a desperate risk and smuggled arms!"

Huang Yu paused for a moment before adding, "Matters concerning military weapons have always been managed jointly by you and General Shang. That General Manager Xin privately connected with the Second Young Master, and it was the Second Young Master who orchestrated behind the scenes to resell that batch of weapons."

Though it was said that another General Manager shared responsibility for these matters, he was essentially just a handyman.

Fortunately, Master hadn't entrusted heavy artillery or warships to outsiders.

Otherwise, it would have been a disaster!

"Heh." Siyan let out a low chuckle, his tone dripping with mockery.

"Reselling brand-new, perfectly fine firearms to the Northern Country under the guise of 'equipment needing maintenance'—what a bunch of absolute fools!"

He tapped his fingertips lightly against the tabletop, his voice dropping several degrees colder: "Tell General Shang that the man named Xin doesn't need to come to work tomorrow."

"Also, tell him to clean up his own doorstep and not bring trouble to my doorstep."

"Understood, subordinate will handle it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, the man lit a cigarette!

Yet he didn't smoke it, feeling stifled inside.

His lower abdomen felt congested, and he wanted his baby to help him!

Instead, his baby told him to solve it himself. His own hand certainly didn't feel as soft and comfortable as his baby's hand.

The cigarette burned down to the filter!

He wanted to see if this woman really was this cruel-hearted. Did she actually want to see him freeze to death out on the balcony?

She still hadn't come out to check on him.

Even a single word of greeting would have been nice!

Or even cursing at him would do!

Nothing at all. What a cold-blooded, merciless woman.

On the bed, Su Yu was watching cartoons on her tablet.

It was boredom to the extreme, but that man wouldn't allow her to watch anything else.

She had no choice but to watch cartoons—specifically, that brain-dead cartoon for three-year-olds featuring the pink hair-dryer.

Naturally, she knew Siyan was standing out on the balcony and refusing to come in. Who knew what madness he was acting out now!

In any case, it had nothing to do with her.

It was nine o'clock, and Su Yu was planning to watch just one more episode before going to sleep, but the next second, the tablet was snatched right out of her hands.

The man, smelling faintly of cigarette smoke, pulled her into his arms.

"You've been smoking! Stay away from me!"

Siyan, steadfast as a rock, didn't budge an inch.

"I didn't smoke," the man explained.

"Then why do you smell like smoke?" Su Yu asked.

She disliked the smell of smoke; it smelled foul.

He used to avoid smoking in front of her—or rather, Su Yu rarely ever saw him smoke at all!

At least whenever he was with her, he never carried that obnoxious scent.

Siyan knew she detested the smell of cigarette smoke, which was why he had never smoked around her.

Ever since he met her, he had drastically cut down on smoking.

Unless he was feeling exceptionally depressed, but even then, the thought of returning to hold his little baby as they slept stopped him.

He would always wait until the smoke cleared, or use some technological gadgets to cleanse the scent before getting into bed.

He was feeling extremely depressed right now, which was why he had done it on purpose.

Baby could not simply ignore his existence!

"What's wrong with you?"

Su Yu couldn't understand it. So what if he hadn't had any for a few days?

Did he have to be this heartbroken over it?

"What do you think? You refuse to help me solve it, and on top of that, you ignore me."

"And you even said you'd go find another man outside. Baby, you can't be this unfaithful!"

The man gripped her wrist with a stern, icy expression as he voiced his grievance!
