Housekeeper Shen lowered his head and took the whip a maid passed over. Under Shen Chuchen’s eerie smile, the man controlled the unbearing feeling in his heart.

  He closed his eyes and thought of the young boy’s tranquil eyes. He thought that his boss was courting a disaster.

  Why would he make a child’s life so difficult?

  Housekeeper Shen wasn’t the only one who was confused, even Ye Sang was puzzled.

  She struggled a few times and tried to pull her Daddy’s hand off her mouth but Huo Yao didn’t even budge.

  His cold eyes exposed that he was leisurely watching the show.

  Shen Chuchen smiled casually, “How many whips will make you forgive him? Is ten enough?”

  “Uncle Shen…… uh……” Ye Niannian widened his eyes in shock. When Housekeeper Shen brought the whip over, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

  He opened his mouth to explain himself, but Shen Chuchen saw through his intention and covered his mouth, lowering his tone, “Shut up.”

  “I’m not Huo Yao, you aren’t my child either. If you say one more word, I’ll throw you in a snake cave to play.”

  It was obvious that Shen Chuchen’s intention was to torture Duan Jinyan.

  From how dark it sounded, other people would probably think that Duan Jinyan dug up his ancestor’s grave or something.

  Ye Niannian’s face was pale from terror and stared at the scene in front of him anxiously, feeling like he caused trouble this time. ……

  Hearing his adoptive father’s words, Duan Jinyan had expected this as his lips curved up in a tiny smile.

  His clear and pretty eyes glanced across everyone present there and his beautiful face was terrifyingly quiet and calm.

  Housekeeper Shen received his orders and walked towards Duan Jiangan, looking at him complicatedly.

  He didn’t know what their young master did to make their boss torture him in so many ways.

  The beautiful and delicate boy was lost in thoughts, but when he saw Huo Yao protecting Ye Sang, his smile turned into a sneer.

  When Housekeeper Shen whipped Duan Jinyan heavily, Huo Yao covered Ye Sang’s eyes without a second thought.

  Pa-

  The whip landed firmly on him and the ten-year-old boy’s back immediately started bleeding. He looked down silently as he bent his thin backbone slightly and sweat filled his forehead.

  After the first whip, it was dead silence.

  Ye Niannian’s knees were soft as he knelt down on the ground without daring to say anything.

  He heard from his family that Shen Chuchen was a vicious and merciless person; he was probably as insane as Huo Yao.

  The five-year-old Ye Niannian didn’t believe it and threw a tantrum to make their parents bring him here to play.

  His father couldn’t convince him, so he could only agree.

  Ye Niannian wouldn’t have known if he didn’t come, but now he was terrified.

  “Uncle Shen, stop it, it’s too much.” Ye Niannian’s forehead throbbed and he threw his fears aside. He tried to grab Shen Chuchen’s hand but the man coldly avoided his hand.

  Shen Chuchen blinked casually, “It’s only ten whips. If he can’t even handle this, for what reasons do you think that Duan Jinyan can live in the Shen family?”

  The Shen Family was big in both the business industry and in the underground, they dealt with numerous organizations and did deals that couldn’t be exposed.

  Huo Yao was the same kind of person as Shen Chuchen. He had seen far more than just this.

  Chapter 44: Are You Really Going to not Act Like a Human Being?

  However, things like this which were as easy as drinking water in the adults’ eyes were like hell to the children.

  A maid covered Ye Niannian’s eyes and forcefully took him away.

  Huo Yao frowned and watched the little thing fidget in panic, he loosened his grip to let a maid take her away, but Ye Sang broke free.

  “Don’t, don’t hit him!”

  Ye Sang almost cried.

  She knew that there was no point talking to Huo Yao because Shen Chuchen was the real boss here.

  “Uncle……” The little thing stumbled towards Shen Chuchen. Huo Yao stared blankly for a second, and just as he was about to grab her, Housekeeper Shen quickly blocked his way with sense.

  It was wrong to think that he didn’t see it.

  His boss looked heartless but he had been stealing glances at Mr. Huo’s daughter.

  He said he didn’t care but he was probably secretly hoping.

  However, Housekeeper Shen was puzzled. When other girls came to the Shen family, his boss was as much of a dog as always and never treated anyone special.

  “Move.” Huo Yao’s face darkened. With a hand gesture from Housekeeper Shen, all the other subordinates surrounded him.

  Now, he couldn’t grab Ye Sang even if he had three heads and six arms. ……

  Shen Chuchen raised his eyebrows in surprise. When he saw the little thing stumbling towards him, his first reaction was to catch her instead of pushing her away.

  A little ball landed in his arms. The girl’s pale arms were like lotus roots and her face was filled with baby fat.

  The man’s dark expressions froze slightly and he watched the little thing tearily shake his arms in panic, pointing towards Duan Jinyan as she tried her best to express herself, “Brodda, hurts……”

  “Hurts?” Shen Chuchen laughed and pinched her baby fat in confusion, “Who doesn’t hurt? Huo Yao has been smart all his life, how did he have an idiot like you?”

  He carelessly continued, “If he wants to kill me, then he needs to learn how to do things without getting noticed.”

  “He can’t bear his impatience, he can’t put himself down, he can’t even look after a child. Sangsang, how do you think he’s going to inherit the Shen family like this?”

  Shen Chuchen was literally the same as Huo Yao.

  They weren’t friends for nothing, even their strange way of raising an heir was similar.

  One used force to control the heir’s weak spot, the other tried to spoil the heir through excessive enthusiasm, using his bad taste to torture Duan Jinyan, making him learn what growth was.

  Shen Chuchen smiled in amusement as he rested his chin on his hand, “You want to beg for him? Little thing, you are daydreaming.”

  “He’s not finished with ten whips, why would I stop because of what you say?”

  The man smiled lightly and his evil desires hid in his eyes as he played with human hearts.

  The little thing’s cat eyes were foggy. She saw Duan Jinyan’s pale face, and she pouted angrily.

  Ye Sang tried everything she could and blinked, throwing herself towards Shen Chuchen, grabbing his pants tightly under his gaze and asked unwillingly,

  “Uncle……”

  “Are you really going to not act like a human being?”
