    Chapter 15 Dating?

    “Su Chenhui, what do you want! What did I do!” Su Ziyao glared at his brother, stubbornly refusing to admit anything.

    “Whether you admit it or not, I want to have a word with you.”

    Su Chenhui said indifferently, crossing his arms.

    “Are you trying to ruin my reputation so I can’t survive in the entertainment industry? I don’t know what good that does you—if I really can’t make it, I’ll have to go back to the Su family and fight you for the inheritance.”

    “…!” Su Ziyao’s heart jolted at the words.

    “So if I were you, I wouldn’t do such a stupid thing that harms others without benefiting yourself.”

    “…Are you done? If you’re done, I can leave now.” Su Ziyao turned to walk away after speaking.

    “Stop right there.” Su Chenhui suddenly grabbed Su Ziyao’s shoulder. “You targeting me, I can turn a blind eye, but this thing you did severely affected Lingfeng’s reputation as well… So I must punish you properly!”

    “What are you going to do??” A bad premonition surged in Su Ziyao’s heart.

    Su Chenhui signaled the bodyguards he brought to turn around, then told Su Ziyao, “Take off your belt and give it to me, then face the wall and get into position.”

    “What the hell?! How dare you treat me like this!!” Su Ziyao was instantly furious, feeling both shame and anger.

    “Mr. Su!” Jun Lin also shouted angrily. “Even if the young master did something wrong, the Master will discipline him. Do you really think the Master would allow anyone else to harm him casually!”

    “Of course he wouldn’t. But I am not ‘anyone else’.” Su Chenhui said calmly. “I am his older brother, can’t I teach my younger brother a lesson? Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

    “…” Although Jun Lin desperately wanted to protect Su Ziyao, he knew very well that he couldn’t fight four hands with two fists and was no match for these bodyguards. “Then please be sure to mind your limits.”

    When Su Ziyao heard that even Jun Lin had given up on rescuing him, he was even more terrified.

    “Hurry up.” Su Chenhui urged Su Ziyao coldly. “The more you dawdle, the harder I’ll hit.”

    “…You and that man are truly father and son! Both are violent maniacs!! You two can love each other all you want, what does it have to do with me! How about I disappear and get out of your way?”

    “Stop the nonsense.” Su Chenhui lost patience, stepped forward, and roughly yanked the belt from Su Ziyao’s waist.

    Su Ziyao’s pants lost their restraint and immediately slipped down.

    Su Chenhui raised the belt and whipped it hard across Su Ziyao’s bare buttocks, making sharp cracking sounds and leaving swollen red welts.

    However, Su Ziyao’s words just now had made Su Chenhui feel a little distressed internally. So after only about ten strikes, he stopped, throwing the belt onto the ground. “Consider this a minor punishment for today. If you dare to touch Shen Lingfeng again next time, I will make your life a living hell!”

    “…” Su Ziyao silently pulled up his pants, covering his noticeably enlarged buttocks, then bent down to pick up the belt and fasten it. Ignoring the pain in his rear, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and quickly walked away.

    Objectively speaking, this was much lighter than the beatings he received from his father growing up, but he felt even more humiliated and angry internally—getting hit by his father was one thing, but why should a so-called brother he had never lived with also lay a hand on him!

    In fact, when it comes to spanking, the recipient inevitably feels some degree of humiliation, but for the one doing the hitting, it is often just a way to avoid causing serious physical harm to the other party.

    Su Chenhui hated Su Wei deeply, but he did not hate his half-brother, Su Ziyao.

    He felt that ultimately, everything was caused by Su Wei, that failed father.

    Although Su Ziyao, who ultimately couldn’t escape a beating, was very unhappy, Su Chenhui also felt uneasy.

    He heard a notification sound on his phone, picked it up, and looked.

    It was from Shen Lingfeng: [What are you planning to do today?]

    Shen Lingfeng asked this because Director Zheng felt that everyone was a bit fatigued, so he decided the entire crew would take a day off today.

    Su Chenhui’s mood instantly improved significantly. A slight smile curved his lips, and he wanted to reply, but he hesitated slightly.

    Finally, before replying to Shen Lingfeng, he called his friend Ouyang Ming.

    Ouyang Ming was also an award-winning actor and a long-time friend of Su Chenhui, though their personalities were completely opposite.

    “What’s up?” Ouyang Ming quickly answered the phone. “Why did the great Actor Su suddenly think of me today?”

    “Are you busy right now?”

    “I am!” Ouyang Ming replied with a laugh. “The sun is shining and the birds are singing here today—isn’t this the perfect time to go on a date with a pretty girl? I’m boating on the lake with an omega beauty.”

    “…” Su Chenhui rubbed his temples. He knew that Ouyang Ming was never short of handsome men and beautiful women, and these people changed constantly, one today and another tomorrow. “Do you have time to chat with me for a few minutes?”

    “Chat? It’s rare for the Iceberg Actor to actively seek me out, how could I not chat?”

    In truth, Ouyang Ming didn’t genuinely care about the handsome men and beautiful women around him, so for him, it was a case of “brothers are like limbs, omegas are like clothes.” He decisively abandoned the beauty and went to a quiet corner. “There’s no one here to disturb us, you can talk now.”

    “You know I’ve been filming with Shen Lingfeng recently… I originally thought I had long put the past behind me…

    “But the more I interact with him, the more I seem to waver. He’s very proactive with me now, just like he was back then.”

    “What’s there to be troubled about?” Ouyang Ming couldn’t help but interject. “You’re an Alpha with feelings, and he’s an Omega with intentions, why not just get together happily?”

    Su Chenhui gave a wry smile. “You should know why I ran away back then.”

    “But Chenhui,” Ouyang Ming’s tone became a little more serious. “You are no longer that helpless young man who was ridiculed and bullied back then! You are now a highly successful, award-winning actor adored by millions. Are you going to live in the past forever?”

    “But he said that a person is composed of the past, present, and future. He is still holding onto that past and can’t forget it.”

    “So you’re afraid he’ll ask about the past? You can just tell him you don’t want to talk about it, or only talk about the parts you are willing to share. Wouldn’t it be better for two people to communicate their true feelings more? I think if he truly likes you, he will respect you.”

    “…” Su Chenhui pondered for a moment. “You have a point. Thank you.”

    “Haha, I’m not used to you talking like that. Treat me to a meal next time then.” Ouyang Ming laughed again. “Speaking of which, I’ve been looking at a script for a dual-male lead drama these past few days—purely about solving cases with no romantic entanglement. I think it’s quite suitable for us both to take on. Do you want to consider it after you finish this movie?”

    “Do you know that fujoshi and fudanshi will use a microscope to look for CP chemistry?” Su Chenhui rubbed his forehead. “Ever since we were on that wilderness survival variety show together, a whole group of people have been shipping us. I never want to be tied to you for business again. So please forgive my refusal.”

    “Hahaha!” Ouyang Ming burst into laughter. “Got it, got it. You’re afraid your little omega will get jealous~ Alright, that’s all then. I wish you two a long and happy life together and many children soon!”

    “Get out of here, nothing is set in stone yet.” Su Chenhui hung up the phone directly.

    Then he thought for a few seconds and replied to Shen Lingfeng:

    [The weather is nice today. Are you free? Would you like to go see Hualake Scenic Area?]

    Shen Lingfeng was ecstatic when he saw Su Chenhui’s message—

    Was Su Chenhui asking him out on a date?!
