Ch 249: Dealing With Someone Disobedient? Exposing Their Embarrassing Past Might Just Do The Trick

Returning home, Phia carried Philia and Xiao Jiu to the sofa and covered them with a blanket. After all, it was still a little chilly on an October night.

“What did you tell my Mom?”

“Guess.”

“I can’t guess. You wouldn’t have been talking about me the whole time, would you?”

“Half right.”

“Half?”

“Oh dear, I wonder who was so mischievous as a child, broke a vase and didn’t dare admit it, got caught by Mom, got a beating, and even cried.”

“Hey hey hey!”

Bal quickly covered Phia’s mouth to prevent his dark history from being further exposed.

Seeing Bal’s panic, Phia was secretly delighted. She removed Bal’s hand from her mouth and looked at him playfully.

“You little rascal, you’ve given me the upper hand.”

“Wife, let’s talk this over, let’s talk this over.”

“Humph, if you ever upset me, I’ll let the whole town know about your dark history.”

“Don’t do that!”

“So, do you know what to do?”

Phia sat on another sofa, and she put her legs on Bal’s legs.

“I understand, I understand.”

Bal wiped the cold sweat from his brow. He helped Phia take off her shoes and started to massage her feet and legs. Looking at the deliciousness in front of him, Bal dared not make a move; it felt as uncomfortable as a mischievous kitten scratching a blackboard.

“I advise you to massage properly, otherwise, I see the walls of the house are quite empty; hanging something up would be interesting.”

“Wuwuwu, Wife, don’t tease me.”

“Oh dear, holding someone’s weakness is such a comfortable thing.”

Phia withdrew her legs and went upstairs.

“Where are you going?”

“To read. Do you control that too?”

“No, no.”

After seeing Phia go upstairs, Bal collapsed on the sofa. He stroked Philia’s head, smoothing her hair while sighing that his future might be bleak.

“I’m back.”

Nia and Grey also returned home at this time. They seemed to have had a lot of fun.

“You look so happy; what happened?”

“We found a small tavern, and their honey wine was amazing!”

“Oh?”

“Really, you should try it sometime; I guarantee you’ll love it.”

“Okay.”

“Where’s my sister-in-law?”

“She’s in the study. What’s up?”

“I bought something for her. I’ll go to the study first.”

Nia dashed upstairs. After Nia went upstairs, Grey sat on the sofa.

“You’re pretty calm. Hold it steady; it’s a bit hot.”

Bal poured a cup of tea for Grey.

“Thank you.”

Grey took the teacup, blew on it for a while, and then took a sip.

“Speaking of which, Nia seems to have something on her mind recently. I asked her, but she wouldn’t say anything. Do you have any idea?”

Grey looked at Bal.

“Emmmm, I can give you a little hint: Nia feels very guilty lately, but it will be alright in a few days, so don’t worry.”

“Really?”

“Would I lie to you?”

“Yes! Ugh, speaking of which, it makes me angry. Before, you asked me to be an undercover agent; it almost got me killed!”

“Um… I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

The two looked at each other, and Grey laughed first.

“Since there’s nothing wrong, then I’ll rest easy.”

Grey went upstairs, and halfway up, he stopped and looked at Bal.

“What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Bal looked puzzled.

“Are you going out on a trip soon?”

“I do have that plan. Should I bring you anything back?”

“No, but I’ll wish you good luck in advance. Happy Light Moon Festival.”

“Thank you, Happy Light Moon Festival.”

Grey went upstairs with relief, leaving Bal completely bewildered.

“What’s going on?”

After dinner, Phia plunged into the study. Bal washed the dishes, told Philia to go take a bath, and then went upstairs.

“Who is it?”

Phia in the study heard a knock on the door. She put a bookmark in her book and put the book into the extradimensional space.

“It’s me.”

Hearing Bal’s voice, Phia closed the notebook on the table. She took out another book, flipped through a few pages randomly, and placed it on the table.

“Come in.”

With Phia’s permission, Bal entered the study. He carried a tray with snacks on it.

“You’ve been in the study ever since you got back, and after dinner too. What kind of book is it, so interesting?”

Bal put down the tray and approached Phia.

“Nothing.”

“Huh? Let me see.”

Bal picked up the book Phia was using as cover and started to read.

“Corrette pinched Olivia’s chin, and he whispered in Olivia’s ear. Woman, you’re playing with fire…”

“Whoa! Stop reading!”

Listening to Bal reading the contents of the book, Phia panicked and quickly snatched the book back.

“I didn’t expect you to like this kind of thing.”

Bal picked up Phia. Ignoring her struggle, he pressed Phia onto the sofa. Then, imitating the book’s content, he pressed down on Phia’s wrist with one hand and pinched her chin with the other. He leaned close to Phia’s ear and whispered.

“Kitten, you’re playing with fire.”

Phia wanted to struggle to get up, but thinking that if she said she wasn’t reading this book, Bal would definitely ask what she was hiding. To surprise Bal, Phia decided to endure it. Anyway, Bal had done this kind of thing many times.

“Um… Meow…”

Although Phia was prepared to be punished by Bal on the spot, she was a little nervous thinking that the soundproof barrier in the study wasn’t activated and Philia wasn’t asleep yet.

“Quite tempting, those evasive eyes.”

Bal released Phia’s chin and kissed her face.

Half an hour later, Bal was helping Phia put on her clothes.

“Lecherous Dog…”

Phia pouted, her blush still lingering.

“I’m here.”

Bal kissed Phia’s face and continued to dress her.

“Let’s take a bath together later.”

“No problem!”

After Bal dressed Phia, he went to get their underwear, then returned to the study with a basket.

“Let’s go downstairs and wait.”

“Coming.”

Phia stood up, holding Bal’s hand. Bal held Phia’s waist, and the two went downstairs together. Philia had already washed up and was sitting on the sofa drying her hair with magic.

“Father, Mommy, are you going to take a bath?”

“Yes.”

“Then Philia will go back to her room first.”

“Okay, sleep early.”

“Mmm!”

Philia stood up and beckoned to Xiao Jiu.

“Xiao Jiu, let’s go back to the room.”

Xiao Jiu immediately ran to Philia’s side, and Philia carried Xiao Jiu upstairs.

Bal was very pleased to see Philia so obedient.

“The child has grown up.”

“Unlike a certain someone, who used to run away when it was time for a bath when they were a child.”

Phia suddenly revealed Bal’s dark history. Bal panicked, put the basket of underwear in Phia’s hands, and carried Phia towards the bathroom.

Phia was destined for a restless night’s sleep.
