Chapter 57 - Apology

Lin Mu's mind was blank. He was the only son of the Lin family. His family treated him like treasure. His elders cherished him dearly and so they very rarely disciplined him. Due to his family's background, he learned some martial arts when he was young. Among his social circles, Lin Mu was unbeatable. So this was the first time Lin Mu had lost so fully and completely.

It was also the first time Lin Mu felt pain. The room was small, he wanted to evade the whips but there was only so much space for him to maneuver. Therefore, he turned to turn on the offensive.

Lin My gritted his teeth. Today will be the first day I'll hit a woman... Fucking God! That stings!

Mo Li's force might be small but her speed was fast. There was no chance for Lin Mu to fight back. Moreover, Lin Mu wasn't really Mo Li's match anyway. Lin Mu did learn from martial arts when he was small but like everything else, he abandoned it soon after. Mo Li was not fighting machine but the skills she did know were enough to deal with an unruly brat.

Mo Yu's heart skipped wildly. He looked with widened eyes how Lin Mu yelped and skipped all over the small room as Mo Li chased after him... Lin Mu couldn't find the chance to counter. And as the whips fell on Lin Mu's skin, Mo Yu felt the pain as well. He had no idea that Mo Li was such a good fighter.

"Fine! You crazy bitch, stop it now! Damn you! It's really painful. You're going to get me hospitalized! Fuck!

"Sister Li! Can you please stop now?

"Stop hitting me! If you do, I will... I will..."

"Tell your parents?" Mo Li helped him finish the sentence. Mo Li called Lin Mu's bluff so the man had no choice but to swallow his fake threat. If he really went back to his family to complain that he was beaten around by a girl, where was he going to put his face in the future?

"Fine, fine, fine! What is it that you want from me?" Lin Mu said through gritted teeth.

"Apologize." Mo Li announced coldly.

Lin Mu had already been beaten into submission. There was only one thought in his mind. A man knows how to bend and stretch! I am not going to let a little girl beat me to death!

Mo Li was extremely familiar with human anatomy and knew where the human weak points were. So she purposely aimed for those spots which would deliver the stingiest blows. Her whips were precise but they were light so they would not leave behind any traces. The pain coupled with the inability to fight back finally wore down the stubborn Lin Mu.

"Fine, I will apologize!" Hearing that, Mo Li stopped her assault.

Lin Mu was hugging his head and cowering at the corner. His face was covered in sweat.

Mo Yu's mouth twitched, he had never seen Lin Mu so cowed before.

"Well, apologize then." Mo Li looked at him and tapped the cane against her palm. The cane was black and her hands were fair. This would be some SM addict's greatest dream.

Lin Mu raised his eyes to look at her, Mo Li was one year younger than he was but she had a much more imposing presence. He took a deep breath and then Lin Mu finally looked more like his usual self.

"Why... should I apologize?" As Mo Li started to frown, Lin Mu quickly explain. Lin Mu always spoke without filter. But with this memorable lesson from Mo Li, the Young Master Lin would have to think twice before he said anything in the future. The burning sensation on his limbs would be a permanent lesson for that. "No, no, no. I mean I don't know what I did wrong. It's not that I don't want to apologize... It's just that I have no idea what to apologize for."

"Well, go through what you have done and said today, see if there's anything you have to apologize for."

Lin Mu obliged. "Okay, okay, give me some time to think about it."

Lin Mu obediently counted the things that he did and said like a kindergartner, "I shouldn't have mocked you at the police station, I should have greeted your grandparents when I entered the house..."

As Lin Mu recited his list, Mo Yu stood there dumbfounded. This was definitely not the Lin Mu he recognized!

The way Mo Yu looked at Lin Mu was still unfriendly but at least it was no longer as hostile as before. Suddenly Mo Li turned her head around to look at Mo Yu, it caused the latter's heart to skip a beat. What does this woman want now?

"What about him?" Mo Li raised her finger and pointed at Mo Yu. Clearly this offense had not crossed Lin Mu's mind. "I... You want me to apologize to him?"

"You did get into a fight with him."

"He fought back didn't he?"

The rebuttal caused Mo Li to frown. She tapped the cane repeatedly against her palm.

"Fine, fine! I'll apologize, I'll apologize right now!"

Lin Mu turned to Mo Yu with a fake smile. "Young Master Mo, I'm sorry!

"I won't fight with you anymore in the future. When we meet again, we shall stay out of each other's way!"

Mo Yu ignored him. After all, this bastard's apology was definitely not sincere.

But... Mo Yu could not help himself but turn cautiously towards Mo Li.
