It wasn't a full-on smooch, but it was a kiss regardless.
Xiao Jingming, who was watching the couple, jolted in surprise.
'D*mn! Aunt Gu Wenxi really is daring!'
She really just kissed her husband, in the middle of their training, and with several people as an audience.
The bodyguards were stunned.
The servants were shocked.
It seemed that the housekeeper was right. Master Jiu and Young Mistress have indeed grown very close.
Guan Xi, on the other hand, scrambled up and away from her husband's lap, her eyes wide with shock, embarrassment, and fear.
Xiao Jiuyan had no choice but to let go of the timid rabbit in his arms as she started to squirm away.
She wanted to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.
Everyone knew that Xiao Jiuyan was a neat freak and did not like to be touched by others.
Although they have kissed and done other intimate stuff, that was behind closed doors.
She just kissed him in front of his staff! Who knew how angry he would be?
"Master Jiu, I... I didn't mean to kiss you. I just turned my head and accidentally bumped into you. I definitely have no intention of doing anything to you."
She stammered to explain.
Xiao Jiuyan's eyes narrowed as he touched his lips with his slender fingers.
He could still practically feel her lips.
He looked at the timid girl in front of him. "Is that so?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Guan Xi hurriedly nodded.
"Since it wasn't intentional..."
Xiao Jiuyan's brows sank as he lightly said, "I'm not going to punish you too much. Five laps will do."
'Five laps?'
Why was she still being punished?
She explained softly, "Master Jiu, I... I didn't do it on purpose. Why are you still punishing me? Isn't that unfair?"
It had been a long time since she had been punished. She had just started thinking that Xiao Jiuyan was not all that bad!
It seemed that the universe was determined to prove her wrong.
He was still a cruel old man!
'D*mn it!'
Xiao Jiuyan's lips curved up into a half-smile.
"You're being punished because the kiss wasn't intentional."
'Uhm... what?'
'Excuse me?!'
Was Xiao Jiuyan teasing her?
Guan Xi was a little confused. What did he mean?
Did he want her to kiss him?
'No, no. That can't be.'
Xiao Jiuyan just wanted to punish her and she gave him the perfect excuse today.
He's as cold-hearted as ever.
"Master Jiu!"
She wanted to plead her case some more to save herself from the punishment.
Although five laps wasn't much, it was embarrassing to be punished all the time.
However, the bodyguard had already pushed Xiao Jiuyan to the locker room of the training hall.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't told him about what happened today.
She ran up to them and said, "Master Jiu, I have something to tell you."
She couldn't do anything about her punishment now except accept it.
Everyone was used to being punished!
Xiao Jiuyan leaned back in his wheelchair, his eyes half-closed. "What is it?"
"My manager gave me a script for an audition. Will you please take a look at it, Master Jiu?"
She ran to where she had put her backpack down and took the script that Mu Yixun gave her. She hurried back to Xiao Jiuyan and handed it over.
"Master Jiu, I heard that this script is very good. It's a big IP. If I pass the audition, you'll be seeing me on televisions pretty soon!"
