Chapter 83 Slap

Lu Ji's nose was almost crooked with anger, and his clenched fists made a "crunching" sound. Qin Xiaoning hurriedly stepped forward to pull him, and turned to Shen Qingshu and said, "Don't talk too much here, hurry up."

Shen Qingshu didn't understand what was going on, and while he was still in a daze, he saw Lu Ji raise his leg, and with a "splash", he was kicked into the water.

Qin Xiaoning screamed and leaned over the railing to look down. The lake water was overwhelming and Shen Qingshu had disappeared in an instant.

"Why did you kick him down?" Qin Xiaoning said anxiously, "Call for help."

Lu Ji casually threw the travel journal into the water, stared at Qin Xiaoning, and said coldly: "It seems that you care about him a lot, huh?"

As he spoke, he lifted her up by the back of her collar as if she were a chicken. Qin Xiaoning felt her body lighten, and when she looked down, she saw the deep, dark lake.

She was so scared that she screamed, "What are you doing? I'm going to fall into the water."

"Go down and accompany him." He held her with a cold look in his eyes. Although his tone was light, it was ruthless.

The little girl was frightened and started crying and begging for mercy.

Shen Qingshu could swim, and was kicked into the water unexpectedly without any precautions. She fell to the bottom, and when she surfaced, she happened to see the man cruelly teaching the little girl a lesson.

He wiped the water off his face, floated in the water and said to Lu Ji anxiously: "Uncle, it's right for you to discipline your daughter, but your method is too extreme."

Qin Xiaoning shouted at Shen Qingshu in the water: "Shen Qingshu, shut up." Worried that Lu Ji would really throw her in, the little girl hugged his hand tightly and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Don't let go, I'm not a good swimmer. If I fall in, I'll die."

The man's eyes were cold, and his thin lips slightly opened: "Why should I care whether you live or die?"

Having said that, he gently let go of my hand.

Qin Xiaoning screamed in fright and instinctively closed her eyes and held her breath, preparing to fall into the water. However, her feet unexpectedly touched the ground. Her legs went soft and she was about to collapse, but was lifted up by Lu Ji and stood up again.

He stared at her with cold eyes and gritted his teeth, "Go back!"

With that said, he turned around and left.

Qin Xiaoning held onto the bridge railing to steady herself. Lu Ji turned around and signaled her to follow him with a sharp look. He said harshly, "Just wait and see how I deal with you when I get back."

He has always been extremely possessive.

What happened today really pissed him off.

Qin Xiaoning didn't dare to disobey him anymore and followed him from a distance back to Qingsong Garden.

Before she even entered the house, Songzhi ran out and asked her, "Did you make the prince angry?"

Although the prince has a bad temper, others can't easily provoke him.

Qin Xiaoning didn't say anything. Songzhi sighed and said, "Even the tea bowl was broken. I was very angry."

Qin Xiaoning didn't dare to delay any longer and walked into the house. Lu Ji was sitting on a chair with a sullen face and broken teacups lying on the ground under his feet.

She didn't dare to go forward, and stood at the door with her eyes downcast, like a child who had done something wrong telling her parents, she told Lu Ji everything about the book borrowing: "It's not what you think, I only met him twice, borrowing books and returning books."

Lu Ji patiently listened to her finish, then raised his eyes, looked at her and asked, "Didn't you tell me yesterday that you borrowed the book from Mr. Su?"

"If it's not what I thought, why lie?" As he said that, he stood up and faced her. Although they were far apart, the powerful aura generated by his anger still shocked her.

The little girl couldn't help but take two small steps back.

I don’t know what to say.

In short, whatever she said now would be wrong, so she simply lowered her head, pinched the corner of her clothes and said nothing.

Lu Ji looked at her in silence for a long time, then waved at her: "Come here."

His tone was calm, but it was like a sign before a storm, which made people feel uneasy. "Come here." He spoke again, his tone already filled with impatience.

The little girl raised her eyes to look at the man, with timidity in her eyes: "What?"

Then, she pouted again: "I know I was wrong."

Trying to get away with it by acting coquettishly.

Lu Ji looked at her and repeated, "Come here." He said, "Today I will teach you something."

She didn't know what she was up to, but seeing him so calm suddenly, the girl felt uneasy. She took two slow steps forward and he grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. Before she could react, he had already raised his hand high.

Look at his furious look. If he slaps her, her face will be disfigured.

The little girl subconsciously protected her face with her hands, but the slap landed heavily on her buttocks.

Burning pain.

He had never hit her in his life.

Feeling aggrieved, she stared at him with eyes wide open and tears in them.

"You still dare to glare at me? Are you not convinced?" Lu Ji scolded in a deep voice: "You have no sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame. I have spoiled you, haven't I? I have allowed you to be lawless, and you don't know what my temper is like."

His face was cold, and veins on his forehead were popping out with anger.

The little girl was not convinced and turned her head away: "The prince is really powerful, beating a woman."

"You still don't know you're wrong?"

As he spoke, he raised his palm again: "I must teach you a lesson today."

Seeing that he was going to hit her again, the little girl didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. She protected her hips tightly with both hands, blinked her eyes, and tears fell down.

"Don't think I'll be soft-hearted." He ordered her: "Take your hands off."

Seeing that he was going to hit her again, the little girl started to cry, deliberately crying heartbreakingly, and shouted, "Are you really going to hit me?"

She twisted her body and begged for mercy, admitting her mistake: "I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."

Lu Ji gritted his teeth and let her go. The little girl was crying with tears and snot all over her body. When he suddenly let go of her, she almost slipped down his hand and fell on the broken teacup on the ground. The man picked her up and carried her aside.

Lu Ji was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he scolded her with gritted teeth: "Don't act recklessly just because I spoil you."

As he spoke, he pointed at her head with his finger: "Qin Xiaoning, clear your mind for me, otherwise, get out of my room."

He had never said such harsh words to her, and the little girl immediately felt like she was being abandoned by him.

Seeing him turning around and leaving angrily, she hurriedly went forward and pulled him, crying, "Where are you going?"

"It's none of your business!" He angrily shook off her hand and strode out of the room with a sullen face.

Once he leaves like this, he will never come back.

As she watched him walk away, this thought suddenly occurred to the little girl.

She chased after him desperately: "Don't leave, I know I was wrong, really, I know I was wrong."

This time she really knew she was wrong, but he still pushed her away and walked away.
