Xiao Jingming was baffled by her question.
With a nod, he replied, "I have some money."
She was right, he was the oldest young master of the Xiao family. Every month, Xiao Jiuyan would give him a fixed amount of allowance. After his father passed away, his shares with various companies also transferred to him. Although they didn't account for much, it was still more than the annual earnings of many small companies.
That was another thing she was right about.
Xiao Jingming was not hurting for money.
Guan Xi's eyes lit up with excitement. "Little nephew, I need you to lend me some money. I'll pay you back as soon as I can."
"Little Auntie, if you want money, I can just give it to you. You don't need to pay it back."
"That won't do."
Guan Xi said seriously, "Money doesn't grow on trees. If I borrow money, I'm going to pay it back."
"How much do you want?" Xiao Jingming asked, not wanting to argue further.
He had gotten the impression that his new auntie was as stubborn as they come.
"Well..."
Guan Xi paused. "I want two hundred thousand in cash."
"In cash?"
Xiao Jingming asked in confusion, "Do you have to pay in cash?"
Payments nowadays were either done via card or check. It was weird for someone to require payment in cash.
"Yes, only in cash."
Her eyes sparkled mischievously as she said, "Two hundred thousand and I'll give you three hundred thousand back. Deal?"
"You're going to give me three hundred thousand?" Xiao Jingming got even more confused.
What was she going to do? Rob a bank?
He asked again but she didn't reply and instead continued to run.
...
20 laps, 20 kilometers.
The two of them ran for about two hours.
After running, Xiao Jingming's feet and legs were burning so bad he could barely stand. However, when he glanced at Gu Wenxi to see how she was doing, she was already walking into the main house as if nothing had happened.
After Guan Xi finished running, she went ahead to find her cruel husband to report that she had finished her punishment.
According to the housekeeper, Xiao Jiuyan was in his study. After thinking about it for a few seconds, Guan Xi decided to take a shower first.
After running 20 KM, she was covered in the stench of sweat.
After returning to her room and finding a change of clothes, Guan Xi went into the bathroom and prepared to enjoy a comfortable hot shower.
Not long after Guan Xi entered the bathroom, Xiao Jiuyan came out of the study.
He returned to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
Xiao Jiuyan's gaze fell on the bathroom door.
The bathroom door was frosted.
Although he couldn't clearly see inside, the silhouette of his wife's slender figure was more than enough to get his libido going.
Long, slender legs, thin but curvy waist, and a pair of very plump breasts...
Xiao Jiuyan closed his eyes. He was assaulted by the memory of her sitting in his lap, her body wrapped in his embrace. He remembered how unbelievably soft and sexy she felt.
The splashing sound of water stopped.
Seconds later, the bathroom door opened.
"Master Jiu!" Guan Xi exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Jiuyan abruptly opened his eyes.
His usually cold gaze was replaced with unrestrained lust.
He looked like a predator getting ready to pounce on his prey.
Guan Xi was shocked by Xiao Jiuyan's gaze.
She thought that Xiao Jiuyan was still angry with her.
That was understandable since she did go to a club to accompany an old man and drank with a bunch of strangers.
"Master Jiu..."
Guan Xi said carefully, "I already finished the 20 laps before I came up to take a shower."
She obediently took her punishment.
Surely, he could forgive her now?
Xiao Jiuyan continued to stare at her.
Just when Guan Xi was about to ask for forgiveness again, he spoke.
"Come here," he demanded, his voice a little hoarse.
