On the other side, Ye Shen and Song Tangtang had reserved a couple's suite in the most luxurious eight-star hotel on the island and later enjoyed a romantic candlelit dinner in the hotel's restaurant.
Perhaps it was their first taste of forbidden fruit, but they didn't come home the next day.
The youthful couple, full of vigor, lingered in the couple's suite for two days and nights, until Ye Junqing could no longer stand by and had someone bring his son back home.
Upon his return, Ye Shen received a lashing, a punishment meant for Song Chenmo to witness.
Ye Shen clenched his teeth and endured the whipping without making a single sound, even as his skin split open, but Song Tangtang cried incessantly beside him.
Song Chenmo couldn't bear to watch and intervened to stop Ye Junqing.
Si Mingjing heard about it afterward; she had been busy with her herbs on the terrace when Ye Siyuan hurried over, pulling her to treat Ye Shen's injuries, which were whip marks all across his back.
