Punish

Gu Zichen was confused with the child suddenly complaining and blaming him. He thought the little one was playing some kind of joke on him but the mad look on the little boy's face said the opposite.

He never gave a chance to anyone to find faults with him let alone question his character. The little devil who was drilling holes into his body with his cold gaze, had the audacity to call the mighty CEO of Gu corporation, Gu Zichen as unreliable and irresponsible.

Indeed the little one was being too valiant and in case Gu Zichen got worked up because of a kid's provoking behavior, then all the high class education he had since his childhood would be of no use. He would look just like another whiny kid if he lost his cool. So, he stayed calm and silent even if he felt extremely wronged. But the issue which troubled him the most was that he didn't remember making any promises to anyone.

"I made you a promise? What promise?" Gu Zichen finally questioned in a soft voice looking at Little Bunny's puffed up face. No matter how angered he was with Wu Jinyan, he wouldn't divert it onto this innocent child.

Wu Jinyan was just some kind of ghost that came to drive out the peacefulness he had in his life while this child was as innocent as him, he wouldn't dare hurt the child.

Even if he didn't recall promising anyone, he couldn't deny the possibility that he forgot such a matter with how busy he had been during the past few days. He decided to act accordingly taking the child's emotions into consideration, to find out the truth behind his sudden loss of temper. 

"You don't even remember what promise you made?" Little Bunny's face turned pale. He placed all his trust on this man standing before him but he was now saying he didn't even remember the promise he made in the first place. Why call himself a man?

"Bahhhh!!" The child broke out into tears. He was still a child with an emotional heart and simple mind, he started wailing as soon as he heard the question. The man whom he trusted was just a cruel demon. The question Gu Zichen asked was a thorn pricking onto the child's heart.

The child's screams were booming loud like thunder, everyone had a sudden urge to close their ears to save them from bleeding. The loud cries seemed to bore deep emotions, they sounded too intense like they could wreck the whole surroundings.

'What did his mom feed him today? Explosives?' Wu Jinyan twisted her mouth in shock when she watched Little Bunny suddenly change into a weeping red ball. Wu Jinyan approached to coax the kid to control his emotions and stop crying. She took him into her arms and patted his back. Rubbing his eyes with his tiny fists, Little Bunny calmed down only when he heard Wu Jinyan mumble in his ear "Little Bunny, don't cry. Aunt Jinyan will punish anyone who hurts Little Bunny. Now stop crying because good boys will not cry" 

Her simple words gave massive comfort and the child stopped crying. He was all smiles as his favourite aunty called him a good boy.

Still sniffling, the kid smiled at Wu Jinyan before turning towards his sworn enemy. He glared at Gu Zichen with deep hatred embedded in his eyes. If a gaze could kill, Gu Zichen would have died for a thousand times already with how intensely Little Bunny was staring at him.

Gu Zichen didn't know what exactly Wu Jinyan said to Little Bunny to make him stop crying immediately but he understood it had to be something bad about him. He knew only Wu Jinyan had the nerve to speak ill of him.

He sighed. He was already married to her and everyone in his family knew her identity. He couldn't turn back time to get rid of her. He could only make concessions and wait patiently until she was disciplined properly and brought under his control.

Now that the kid in her hands was settled, Wu Jinyan turned towards the elderly person and the young woman still standing in her house. She need to send them out as soon as possible.

"Do you have anything else to do here? If not.." Before she could say any further the duo left understanding her intentions. They were not fools to not know Wu Jinyan was trying to drive them out. Instead of getting driven out by her, it would be less humiliating if they walked out by themselves.

Seeing the duo walk out of the house on themselves, Wu Jinyan exhaled in relief. She was exhausted to death in just ten minutes. These ten minutes were the most complicated and difficult ever minutes in her life. If not for Little Bunny's intrusion, she didn't know how Gu Zichen would have messed up everything.

Looking at the very same arrogant jerk, she asked in an interrogative tone "Why are you here?" She thought he came in time to save her, but he was there just to ruin her. 

"I.." Gu Zichen opened his mouth but couldn't bring out any proper words. He couldn't tell her the truth that he was worried about her after how harshly he behaved with her.

He was shocked and ashamed of himself. He initially came to her apartment hurriedly because he wanted to see her. But on entering her place, he became angered watching her behaviour. His thoughts and emotions changed as fast as a flip of a page.

He didn't know what exactly was wrong with him but one thing was for sure, Wu Jinyan was a silent devil who kept influencing him repeatedly. Her every word and every expression was showing adverse effects on him.

"I..." he mumbled again but couldn't give an answer to her question. He still had a lot to talk with her but he wasn't sure from where to start.

"Whatever, leave if you have nothing else" At last Wu Jinyan gave up as she had no energy left to fight with him. Not giving him one more chance to speak, she pushed him towards the door directly.
