Passionate Devotion

Little Hottie 3

Tong Lu felt her heart sink. This time, she heard it loud and clear. The person who made the noise was in tremendous pain — as if he was a phoenix bursting into a ball of flame in order to be reborn or a woman in labor. ‘Is my brother-in-law ill?’ Tong Lu quickly rushed into the study and knocked on the bedroom door.

“Brother-in-law, are you in there? What’s happening to you?

“Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you ill?”

Tong Lu had called out to him multiple times, but nobody responded. She could not wait outside the door any longer. She turned the doorknob and pushed open the door. She struggled to do so, but she eventually managed it. Once she entered the room, she realized that there were two chairs on the other side of the door. One was lower than the other. Together, they formed a stair-like structure. Someone short could climb on top of them to open the door.

Tong Lu glanced around. “Brother-in-law, are you around?”

“Eh…” Tong Lu suddenly noticed something strange and strode towards the couch. A small lump loomed into view. It was wrapped in an oversized men’s shirt, revealing only a tiny calf. The figure was sweating profusely, as if someone had just fished it out of the water. Tong Lu picked the figure up. It was a little boy at the age of two or three. His wet hair was dripping.

“Whose child is this? Why is he sleeping on the couch without cleaning himself up? Wouldn’t he catch a cold?”

The child had fallen asleep. His eyelashes were long. His small face was grim and stern. His lips were tightly pursed. His small eyebrows scrunched up tightly. His facial features somehow resembled Leng Yejin’s. He must be a child from the Leng family.

Tong Lu lifted the child and glanced around. There was no one else in the bedroom. ‘Isn’t my brother-in-law in the study?

‘Who made the noise from the bedroom earlier on?

‘Never mind that. I should give this child a bath first.’ This naked child who was asleep looked absolutely adorable. The Leng family really had good genes.

After a brief loss of consciousness, Leng Yejin woke up. Before he could open his eyes, he sensed that he was half-submerged in warm water. He felt someone touching his bum and opened his eyes sharply.

Tong Lu was washing his bum and noticed that the little child was awake. His eyes were filled with confusion and astonishment. Like the sheepish wolf in the Red Riding Hood’s story, she gave him a friendly smile. “Little child, you’re awake? Be a good boy and stay still. Let me wash you up.”

Leng Yejin lowered his head. His red eyes darkened as he growled. “Who allowed you to come into the study? Get out immediately!”

“You’re a fierce little fellow.” But a child like this could cause no harm. Tong Lu pinched his cheek. “You’re aware of the concept of shame at such a young age. Be a good boy. Don’t be afraid. I’m not a bad person. What is your name? Whose child are you? Why are you in the bedroom inside the study? Who is Leng Yejin to you?”

The child pulled a long face. He stood up abruptly and struggled out of the bathtub. Unfortunately, the bathtub was too high for him, he fell on his bum with a loud thud. The pain made him gnash his teeth in agony.

Leng Yejin tried not to embarrass himself. He jumped and tried to pull down the towel hanging above him so that he could wrap himself up.

But no matter how hard he tried to jump, he could not reach the towel!

He could not release the rage inside him. Eventually, Tong Lu picked him up and put him back into the bathtub.

“Woman, you’ve angered me!” Leng Yejin was helpless and furious. There was a murderous look on his small and chubby face.

“Wow, you have quite a bad temper, huh? Be a good boy and stay still. Don’t move around. Let me wash you up, or else I’m gonna spank your bum-bum.”

Tong Lu could not stop chuckling. It was really strange to see a small child speak in a cold and arrogant tone, as if he was an adult.
