Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband-Novel

Chapter 1258: Punishment

They had a coffee and returned to the office where they discussed the project after visiting the site.

"Brother Rusheng, tomorrow evening we have an event and I wish you and Ms. Lu to attend it," she handed him over one card that she pulled out of her bag.

"We will," Ming Rusheng assured.

Wu Suyin stood up and Ming Rusheng too stood up to see her off and Lu Lian had to do the same though she didn't wish to. As they stepped outside and reached the elevator, Wu Suyin spoke, "I can go from here. Brother Rusheng doesn't need to trouble himself. I am not a guest here."

Ming Rusheng nodded while Lu Lian understood what she meant. For her, she was just a guest.

Wu Suyin removed the scarf that Ming Rusheng had given her and the next moment she tiptoed and put it around Ming Rusheng's neck. Ming Rusheng wanted to stop her but he didn't as he smirked at the jealous expressions on Lu Lian's face.

The receptionists and the two assistants were shocked that their boss had allowed someone to do this.

"I'll leave then," Wu Suyin left and Ming Rusheng instructed Lu Lian. "The file is on my table. Get it and start working with your team from today itself."

She frowned inwardly and said sarcastically, "Thank you for letting me know what I should, Mr. Ming."

The others felt the tense atmosphere and immediately left their places saying, "It's lunchtime."

Seeing her assistant had already gone, Lu Lian turned towards Ming Rusheng's office and went to get the file. Ming Rusheng followed her and saw her searching for the file.

"It's the blue one," he said and Lu Lian picked the blue one out from the stack of the file, and the next moment she sneezed. "Achoo"

"Excuse me," she said and walked away from the table but sneezed again, "I'll take a leave...Achoo!"

Ming Rusheng frowned and went to her. He touched her forehead and she shrugged his hand. "I am not sick. It's just normal sneezing. See it is gone already."

"Are you sure you are not sick?" he asked, glaring at her coldly.

"I am not," she replied and was ready to move away but Ming Rusheng held her hand, "Where do you think you are going?"

She looked at her hand and then looked at him, "Aren't you done having fun with Ms. Wu that now wants to play with me?"

"Are we jealous here?" Ming Rusheng commented.

"Jealous? My Ass!"

Seeing her angry, Ming Rusheng grinned inwardly and said, "You are not allowed to go unless you receive your punishment."

"Punishment? What did I do to get one."

"Disobeying your boss in front of the outsider," he replied, still holding her hand.

"I didn't see any outsider. As per what I heard, Ms. Wu acted like she is a family and not the guests."

"Well, I was referring to that site in charge as an outsider."

Lu Lian gritted her teeth, 'So this man doesn't consider Wu Suyin as an outsider,' she concluded and jealousy took over her. "Since when Mr. Ming had started to mind the mere site in charge?"

His cold eyes glared at her complaining ones, "This time you did it in front of that mere site in charge but next time you might do it in front of important people. You need to get punished to remember to not do it again. Also, to remind you to always wear warm clothes."

The way he looked at her, she knew he was up to something and immediately back down, "I'll keep it in mind. Now let me go."

Ming Rusheng tightened the grip on her hand, "After you get your punishment."

"You are being unreasonable....."

"You are still cold, let me warm you up," he said ignoring her and held closer to him.

She tried to move away, "What are you..."

"Can't you guess?" he asked, staring closely at her while moving his gaze between her lips and eyes.

"I told you once you get your memories back," she countered.

"Trying to run away from your punishment Ms. Lu. It has nothing to do with what you are talking about. It's just to punish you for being disobedient to your boss."

Lu Lian could sense his intentions were not good. Not like she minded it but not at this moment when she was angry with him. She couldn't let him have his way with her when he claimed to not remember her.

"No boss punishes their employees like this," she said.

"But you are a special employee who dares to call her boss her husband, even has a shower with him and doesn't mind undressing in front of him."

"That…."

He looked at her mockingly. "Why? No words left, Ms. Lu?"

She gulped and he spoke again, "I was being an irresponsible boss too, so I need to correct my mistake, Ms. Lu. After all, we don't want you to catch a cold. It will only delay our work and my company will suffer."

'Shameless! Still thinking about his company and its loss,' she thought and said, "Even if I am about to die, I will make sure to finish work before the time. Don't worry about the mere cold"Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

'She sure doesn't want it.' He smirked, "But we can't take chances. My company is more important to me than anything else."

"Mr. Ming, I will…."

"Shhh!" He put the finger on her lips and took her inside the lounge attached to his office.

The door closed and she was caught between him and the door as he faced her.

"Mr. Ming..."

"I didn't allow you to talk yet," he warned as his hands moved to take her winter coat off that she was still wearing because even in the normal temperature inside the office she was feeling cold after returning from the site. The cold had sure affected her and Ming Rusheng could see it.

He tossed her winter coat aside and said, "You won't be needing that."

"Why are you doing this?" she asked, staring into his cold eyes.

"To warm you up," he replied and his hand moved towards her trouser.
