Chapter 61: I’m Your Baby, The Big Baby!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He was so heavy that it was becoming hard to breathe.
“Cough—” Ji Weixi was gasping under him. Gritting her teeth in irritation, she kicked him off her.
However, she used more strength than she expected. With a loud bang, Li Shaoling’s huge body rolled away from the bed.
“Ji—Wei—Xi!” Li Shaoling stood up raggedly. His hair was a mess, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was dark.
How bold she was to actually kick her own superior.
Ji Weixi shrank back in fear, and gave a hollow laugh. “I’m sorry, Chairman Li. My feet weren’t listening to me… perhaps you would want to scold them?”
Li Shaoling responded by catching her ankles and pulling him to her side.
She promptly slipped off the bed as well, her eyes reflecting his grim face and she started to panic.
But in that critical moment, she saw the clock with the corner of her life.
It was already eight!
“Oh, my goodness, It’s already eight o’clock, President Li! Let’s hurry to work!”
She was quite the clever girl, even acting very surprised.
Li Shaoling’s eyes were twitching in his rage; he looked as if he would eat someone.
Ji Weixi gulped, and gingerly repeated, “Let’s… go to work.”
“I’m your boss.”
“…”
She really would have forgotten about that if he didn’t mention it.
Having the final say on my working hours just because you’re my boss? Really, rich people are so unruly.
That being said, both of them were in a position not easily described.
She was looking at him with considerable effort beneath, while he glared at her coldly from beside the bed, looking as if there was no higher power other than himself.
“Oh no, I need the toilet!”
In that moment, the tot had suddenly woken up with a full bladder and sat up with a pained face.
However, just as he was about to act spoiled with Ji Weixi, he shrank back at the sight of Li Shaoling’s horrific glare.
As such, he clumsily got down from the bed, and Ji Weixi quickly stood up when she saw that, accidentally hitting her head on Li Shaoling’s chin.
“Do you want to die!?” He felt as if his chin had almost fallen off. His entire face darkened in his age, and he looked positively murderous.
Was he her punching bag?
He didn’t sleep well in the first place, only to end up kicked in the morning and now hit on his chin. Good grief!
In return, Ji Weixi rubbed her hurting head and kept her lips tightened from smiling.
She quickly went to the little one and asked, “What is it, baby? Do you need to pee?”
He pouted but nodded. “Mommy, I can pee myself. You should hurry up and wash up…”
With that, he had already gone inside the washroom buck-naked waist down, and actually closed the door behind him.
“Ji Weixi!”
Li Shaoling thought his presence was in the negatives considering how she ignored him as if she was air, and the rage in his chest was about to burst.
Be that as it may, she knew things wouldn’t end well for her if she responded, and as such quickly slipped away.
That was when her wrist was suddenly caught and she was pulled behind forcefully, with her back touching a firm, hot chest.
Li Shaoling held her by her shoulder with a single hand and seethed, “What am I if you baby your son so much?”
It was a question she must answer even if she would ignore him!
That was the first time Li Shaoling felt such grief, just as it was the first time that he was embarrassed in front of a woman.
Even so, his voice was alluring, just like magic.
Ji Weixi felt she was going mad. His teasing left her feeling tingly, and neither turning away nor struggling worked.
Nonetheless, she bit down and shamelessly said, “A tool.”
Li Shaoling was speechless.
He turned her around, gritting his teeth. “Care to repeat that?”
Keeping a long face, she repeated, “A too—ah!”
She was thrown on the bed even before she could finish, and was pinned beneath as Li Shaoling moved above her.
“Care to repeat that? What am I to you?” Li Shaoling lifted her chin, his face full of anger.
He looked so fearsome he could have her on the spot.
“…You… you wub me?”
Those words inadvertently left Ji Weixi’s lips, but Li Shaoling’s eyes narrowed even more dangerously.
“Ji Weixi, you shouldn’t be so confident about my patience!”
There was considerable weight on that last part.
…Was that a threat?
Ji Weixi could not help but think of certain unhealthy scenes then…
Meanwhile, his eyes were staring fixedly at her, and she could distinctly feel the pressure despite the silence.
She caved.
“Fine, you’re my baby!” Ji Weixi bellowed at him; her face was red.
There was finally a twinkle in his eyes then as he insisted, “Big baby.”
Chapter 62: Who’s Jealous?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Shaoling’s face changed really quickly
The cheeks of the woman beneath him were faint red clouds, her charming gaze ever adorable.
Li Shaoling shifted his face and kissed her on her face. “Remember that. I’m your only baby.”
In other words, she was not allowed to call anyone ‘baby’—even her own son!
Still, Ji Weixi reacted by firmly wiping off the spot he kissed. “Li Shaoling,” she said indignantly, “Control your jealousy!”
To be jealous even at his own son… he probably was made of jealousy.
His face changed again as he shifted his gaze, his voice abruptly cold. “Who’s jealous?”
Ji Weixi clicked her tongue, and she looked as if she had seen through him. “What’s that if not jealousy?”
He certainly couldn’t fool her eyes, and she quickly cut him short as he opened his mouth to speak, her eyes narrowing, “I knew you would deny it, but the evidence is clear. You are jealous, Li Shaoling—what do you have to say?”
A rare hint of embarrassment flashed over Li Shaoling’s face as he freed her and sat up, looking down upon her as his eyes turned fierce. “Me being jealous has nothing to do with you!”
Ji Weixi really wanted to take her slipper and give him a good slapping for that tsundere and would-die-rather-than-admit-it look of his.
Would it kill him to just yield?
And what kind of nonsensical logic did he run on? He’s jealous about her, but it had nothing to do with her?
As she had thought, Li Shaoling’s brain structure was different from a normal human.
Then, worried about her son who had been gone for quite a while, she went to the washroom and pushed the door.
The little one had been listening in on them behind the door and was caught off guard, almost losing his balance and falling.
JI Weixi caught him. “What are you doing?”
“Uh, nothing.” The little one averted her eyes and giggled guiltily. “I was going to the toilet.”
Ji Weixi saw through him at once. “You were eavesdropping.”
At the very mention of that word, the little one promptly pulled a long face and exclaimed grumpily, “I didn’t! I’m not that kind of person! Humph! Bad mommy, trying to frame me… I don’t care anymore!”
No different from his father.
Was it so hard to admit it? It’s not like she wanted a pound of flesh!
***
The weather had been bad lately, being at once cloudy and hot.
Jiang Cong’s car arrived when Ji Weixi finished straightening the little one’s clothes.
Jiang Cong looked as if he was given a beating—his hair was a mess and his clothes wrinkled, not to mention that there was a palm print over his face.
He was certainly very ragged.
“Who hit you?” Ji Weixi could not help but ask.
Jiang Cong cleared his throat and said with much grief, “It’s Tian Miaomiao…”
“Why did she hit you?”
Embarrassed, Jiang Cong turned away. “Please get in the car…”
He had actually gone to Tian Miaomiao’s place to drive her to work in the morning. However, unaware that she had a temper if her sleep was disturbed, he was grabbed by the hair and given one almighty beating.
Are women really that frightening when they throw a fit?
It certainly affirmed Jiang Cong’s determination to stay single eternally.
***
CBS Tower.
Ji Weixi led her son away, intending to go separate ways from Li Shaoling.
“It’s better if we stay apart.”
Li Shaoling caught her hand and frowned. “Why?”
She gingerly looked around them, afraid that someone else would see. “You know, that news the day before… it’s best if we keep our distance.”
Moreover, she had just returned to the country—she did not want to be labeled as someone who seduced her superiors.
Her fashion design career had barely begun.
Li Shaoling’s lips tightened in dejection.
As long as she was willing to accept him and be his woman, he would uproot any rumor or hurt thrown against her.
He would spoil her unconditionally, giving her whatever she wanted.
It was a pity that she didn’t, even keeping her guard at every moment.
Li Shaoling’s face turned cool but he freed her. “Okay.”
Ji Weixi watched as he strode off without a word, although she was becoming annoyed inwardly.
Was she wrong?
Chapter 63: Ji Jianing Is So Dead
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The little one looked up at her. “Mommy, Daddy’s angry.”
Ji Weixi smiled. “It’s alright. Let’s go.”
“Xixi, I missed you so much!” Tian Miaomiao launched herself at her and gave her a bear hug once she reached her office.
Ji Weixi shoved her off and said darkly, “Oh, my, just when I thought who it could be? Rich Madam Tian.”
Still, Tian Miaomiao wrung her wrist. “Oh, don’t be so annoyed. I did that because I was thinking about your physical happiness with President Li! How would Jiajia get a sister otherwise?”
The little one nodded in agreement. “Miaomiao’s right!”
“Tian Miaomiao!” Ji Weixi exclaimed as she flicked her on her forehead. “To think that I thought of you as a sister… You actually sold me off just because Li Shaoling gave you a card! Let’s part ways!”
“No!” Tian Miaomiao snuggled up to her, and said sincerely, “Look, you didn’t know it was Li Shaoling who’s your baby’s father, that’s why you have it hard for years. Jiajia is happy now that you’ve found his father, you should be happy too! You banged a big boss in the Asia-Pacific zone, not to mention that he’s good-looking, rich… ahem… good in bed and treats you well. What is there to think about? I would have dived into his arms if I were you!”
Good in bed.
Ji Weixi flushed. “Tian Miaomiao! Could you cut down on the age-restricted stuff!?”
And she definitely didn’t know if Li Shaoling was actually any good in that respect.
“Fine, fine.” Tian Miaomiao had the face of someone currying favor, but she soon exclaimed excitedly, “Let’s not talk about that… I have something huge to tell you!”
It was one in the morning when the entertainment press published a photo of a man and a woman going to a hotel late at night.
They were dressed in tight layers and wore face masks, held hands and looked very much in love.
Normally, anyone seeing that would not feel a thing since it was just a couple heading to do the deed in a hotel.
However, woman’s brow and figure were easily identifiable despite her face mask—it was Ji Jianing.
As for the man, it was Jiang Zhuonan, a very popular star at the moment.
He exploded into popularity on the year of his debut, topping all search or trending charts, gaining fans and casual admirers alike.
As a personality, he was affable and loved to sell his charms, not to mention that his lead role in sweet films gathered countless fans for him.
He was considered the cleanest male star in the entertainment industry.
And that was not even the most important part, because the most important thing was that the picture had been taken on the fourth of last month.
Ji Weixi had not returned to the country then, while Ji Jianing and Li Shaoling had not parted ways and were still engaged.
The internet exploded once the photo was published.
Both Ji Jianing’s innocent image and Jiang Zhuonan’s clean character collapse.
As such, the day’s trending searches Weibo were:
[Number one: Li Shaoling cuckolded]
[Number two: Li Shaoling’s heartbreak]
Naturally, Ji Weixi was no more than a side character in the whole incident, but it did not stop netizens from apologizing to her long-defunct Weibo account, even giving her blessings for a long, blissful life with Li Shaoling.
The ending had come so suddenly she felt like she hurt her back.
“What do you think?” Tian Miaomiao was rubbing her hands in glee. “Ji Jianing is so dead! She’s not going to act cute in front of you anymore… though it’s a shame about Jiang Zhuonan. I quite liked him, but would he bloody sleep with Ji Jianing! Is he blind? What is even good about her?!”
Ji Weixi recovered from her shock then. “He’s just an innocent boy.”
“What?!” Tian Miaomiao roared. “He’s not even a virgin, what ‘boy’ are you talking about? Whatever, I’m a hater now!”
That being said, Ji Weixi was still a little surprised.
Everything happening starting yesterday had gone by so quickly, and she had thought that she would be hated by netizens for quite a while.
It was weird when she thought about it too—logically speaking, the press tended to have breaks between headlines so that each could have the time to sink in.
Could it be someone’s doing from behind the scenes?
Surely it couldn’t be Li Shaoling.
Chapter 64: Terrible Things Happen When President Li Gets Angry
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
With such questions in mind, Ji Weixi followed the crowd shuffling into the meeting room.
She could clearly feel that the others were looking at her weirdly—it must be because of the recent news.
After all, she and her sister Ji Jianing were on trending, and it was clear that they were going for each other’s neck.
Two sisters fighting to no end over one man. The very thought of what it meant was simply exciting.
There was some commotion outside the door. Ji Weixi looked up and found Li Shaoling entering with a cold face.
He had taken off his jacket and the two topmost buttons of his white shirt were undone—subtly exposing his indescribably alluring collarbone.
His brow and eyes were cool yet showed some signs of fatigue, along with its usual lofty aloofness.
He leaned into the back of his chair, folded his long legs and placed his hand lazily on the handles.
His every movement was like a portrait, a lethal piece of art.
It was a pity he did not become a male model.
Standing beside him, Jiang Cong called out loudly, “Start the meeting.”
Then, a middle-aged man held up a pile of documents immediately said, “President Li, I have a few points I would like to raise regarding the acquisition of Mo Group.”
“Their main business is pharmaceuticals, and they don’t differ much from CBS Pharmaceuticals. As such, their bankruptcy poses an opportunity for us—not only should we acquire their group, we should also recover every production and logistics chain under their banner. That way, management would be a lot easier after we bought out their group. Additionally, I plan to rein in several of their major shareholders to our company…”
The man spoke eloquently to the point of spitting.
Still, Ji Weixi was taken aback.
Mo Group? Pharmaceuticals?
Wasn’t that the company of Mo Nanfeng’s father?
Everything connects when she thought about it. No wonder he was so wretched as if he was a living dead… because Mo Group had gone bankrupt.
Tut, tut, tut. How pitiful, the young master of the Mo family whom everyone admired, falling to being chased after by thugs.
As he should be!
***
Meanwhile, Li Shaoling was simply sitting there, his gaze becoming ever distant.
His eyes were half-narrowed and turned diagonally towards Ji Weixi.
She was leaning on one hand and twirling a pen on another, and she looked a little delighted.
At times she would be smiling weirdly, at times she would be shifting her sore body, at times she would show her teeth as she bit her lip.
So many little movements. Did she not know that it was alluring?
His eyelids lowered, and his glare became as cold as eyes.
Couldn’t she look his way once?
He was angry, but she did not even react!
Damned woman! Was she thinking about another man?
“President Li?” The middle-aged man had finished his speech when he found that frightening look on Li Shaoling’s face.
Even so, he fearlessly waved his hand in front of Li Shaoling. “President Li? Are you there?”
Everyone hence followed President’s Li gaze and reached Ji Weixi simultaneously.
It left her very uncomfortable, and so embarrassed she could die.
She glared at him and quietly prompted, “Hey!”
What was that man doing? Was he asleep in the middle of the day with his eyes open?
Ji Weixi took a deep breath. Stretching out with her foot under the table, she gave a firm kick.
Before Li Shaoling could react, the chair flipped behind. In the next split second, he fell bewilderedly and kissed the floor raggedly.
“Pfft—”
Someone barely repressed a giggle.
Ji Weixi could swear that all she really wanted to do was prod him off his distraction. Who knew that he would just flip and fall?
For Li Shaoling, that was the first time he was embarrassed in front of so many people.
He stood up, enduring the pain as he looked darkly at everyone present.
As such, they lowered their head and put their hands over their mouths, holding back their laughter.
Finally, he locked his gaze on Ji Weixi who guiltily lowered her head, and could not help wanting to slip beneath the table.
Li Shaoling gritted his teeth.
She was becoming ever bolder, and sorely needed beating, a trampling!
Chapter 65: Can You Forgive Me?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the meeting ended, Ji Weixi quickly squeezed her way into the crowd and slipped away.
She did not even pause for a moment as if there was a flood surging tightly beside her.
Li Shaoling quickly followed. His face was as dark as the skies outside—with the possibility of lightning strikes at any given moment.
Everyone was so spooked when they saw him that they cleared the way for him.
Meanwhile, Ji Weixi fled all the way to the ladies’ room, entered a cubicle and locked it.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Hmph. She would see how he would enter—she would yell pervert and thug if he did.
Meanwhile, Li Shaoling stood outside and waited.
Each female employee who left the washroom was blushing. “President Li…”
He would throw them a cold glare then, and they would quickly leave.
When Ji Weixi still didn’t come out after half an hour, Li Shaoling turned to leave.
‘Fine, Ji Weixi. You’ve got balls.
‘But there is all the time in the world!’
***
With Li Shaoling’s usual pattern, Ji Weixi thought that he would make some excuse and summon her to his office since he could not get back at her immediately.
However, nothing happened for the entire morning.
It was a little unexpected, but that was fine since she could work comfortably.
After lunch, Tian Miaomiao received a message and told her, “Xixi, there’s a client who asked a meeting at the café opposite to talk about some design issues.”
Ji Weixi’s brow wrinkled. “Man or woman?”
“Man. There’s not much else, but he did say that he wanted to get acquainted and talk about certain designing aspects.”
Ji Weixi bit her lip. “Alright, book a place for me.”
It could be her very first order in CBS—she mustn’t take it lightly.
If that order went sour, she might not keep the title of chief designer in CBS.
And that would cause a lot of unnecessary problems for her.
Tian Miaomiao nodded. “Alright, I’ll tell the client about the meeting place after making the arrangements.”
The little one looked up from the game she was playing when he heard ‘man’. “Mommy, don’t forget that you’re meeting a man.”
In other words, don’t cheat on Daddy.
Ji Weixi’s face darkened and she gently pinched his little cheeks. “You rascal, I’ve wasted four years doting on you. Who is more important—me or Li Shaoling? Choose!”
The little one tilted his head and thought about it seriously.
“Hmm. Sister is more important.”
‘Oh.
‘Sh*t.
‘F*ck.’
Ji Weixi was speechless.
***
There was a chime the rush of a warm breeze when Ji Weixi opened the door to the cafeteria.
Ji Weixi preferred a window seat. Walking past a few tables under the guide of a waiter, she turned to leave when she saw Mo Nanfeng’s face.
“Weixi!”
He quickly gave chase and blocked her way with a tender smile. “What are you doing, Weixi?”
She rolled her eyes at him and mocked, “Doing all that just to meet me? You are quite the disgusting one, Mo Nanfeng!”
A wounded look flashed over the man’s face. “How could you say that, Weixi? Don’t you know that it hurts my heart?”
‘Hurt? And do you even have a heart, scumbag?’
Ji Weixi shrugged and smiled coldly. “Four years ago, you called me a bitch, spurned me and said that you didn’t want to see me for the rest of your life. Didn’t you think about how you hurt me back then?”
Mo Nanfeng’s face fell at her words. “Weixi, I told you that it happened in the heat of the moment. I’ve been fooled by Ji Jianing all those years ago, that’s why… I was wrong, and you did hit and curse me, is that not enough? Can’t you forgive me? Everyone makes mistakes, don’t they?”
See? Was that even how humans spoke?
“Mo Nanfeng. Why don’t you just die, bastard?”
His face turned at those words, but Ji Weixi merely blinked innocently. “Oh my, I said that in the heat of the moment. Can you forgive me?”
Chapter 66: Teasing Mo Nanfeng
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was called giving someone a taste of their own medicine.
Mo Nanfeng had to hold back his rising rage and the throbbing vein on his temple just to smile unconvincingly. “I forgive you, forgive you…”
Then, seeing that Ji Weixi not moving an inch, he quickly gestured for her to sit. “Weixi, let’s talk at the table. It’s tiring to stand.”
Ji Weixi really wanted to leave immediately as she glared at his disgusting fawning.
However, she could not leave just yet.
Mo Nanfeng looked different from before—he was dressed in a blue suit and his hair was combed tidily, almost looked like the son of a rich family once again.
He must have some other agenda to take such great length asking her out, and it definitely wasn’t about tailoring.
Ji Weixi though she could find out what he was actually trying.
“Alright.” She smiled.
As such, he quickly pulled a chair for her eagerly and she sat, folding her arms.
“Speak. What business do you have with me?” She asked coldly.
Mo Nanfeng hesitated for a moment, before saying, “Actually, it really is about tailoring, Weixi. I believe you are aware that I’m the heir of Mo Group and there’s a succession ceremony soon, so I hope you could design a suit for me.”
Ji Weixi frowned at that.
Succession ceremony?
Heir of Mo Group?
Wake up, kiddo! Your dynasty has already fallen!
She could not help but study him again.
He was actually rubbing his hands from time to time, his gaze was evasive and he was swallowing from time to time.
A classic look of nervousness.
Being his childhood friend, Ji Weixi knew him best.
Living like a prince since a child and in great comfort, he was the young master whom the Mo family pampered—proud and behaving like an entirely different person outside.
Mo Nanfeng must have assumed that she didn’t know that Mo Group was bankrupt.
Still, she also understood things— such as the fact that most companies wouldn’t immediately announce that they were bankrupt or were about to be bought out… although it would eventually be known nonetheless.
Ji Weixi herself was present at the meeting room to report matters regarding her fashion department, and it was only by coincidence that she learned about the matter.
Hence, she half-narrowed her eyes and gently smiled. “How did you know I work at CBS?”
Mo Nanfeng had been panicking, afraid that she could see through his lie.
As such, he immediately breathed a sigh.
“It’s simple,” he grinned proudly. “You know that I have many friends, so I’m definitely going to know just by asking around. Still, I’m happy for you, Weixi… You’ve finally fulfilled your dream of becoming a brilliant designer!”
Ji Weixi almost wanted to laugh, but acted nonchalantly and asked, “Why were you dressed like that yesterday, with people chasing you as well?”
“Well…” Mo Nanfeng lowered his head, averting his eyes and laughed drily. “I went hiking a few days ago, but was robbed halfway… it was quite horrible, haha…”
Zero points for that one, but Ji Weixi really felt entertained by his performance.
She nodded, and went straight to the point. “Alright, tell me… what design do you have in mind?”
“Weixi, I would love anything you make for me.”
He spoke tenderly—his sentimental, lovesick look leaving Ji Weixi feeling repulsed.
“Alright, then please pay the deposit.”
Mo Nanfeng’s smile promptly froze. “Wh-what… Deposit?”
“Don’t you know? Agreements and deposits are necessary for designers of my level. Sign the agreement, and pay in full when you’re satisfied with the finished product.”
“How much is the deposit?”
“Three hundred thousand.”
“Three hundred thousand?!” Mo Nanfeng was instantly dumbstruck, no longer able to smile as his tone lifted by several octaves.
Chapter 67: Legendary Shamelessness
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“What?” Ji Weixi looked at Mo Nanfeng innocently, putting her chin on both hands. “You are the heir of Mo Group, so three hundred thousand should be peanuts to you… or could it be that you can’t let go what happened four years ago, and still hate me?”
With Mo Group bankrupt, he wouldn’t be able to afford thirty thousand —much less three hundred thousand. It would leave him worse off than a beggar.
And she would love to see him pay that sum.
“No, no.” Mo Nanfeng quickly denied. “Well… what is the full cost?”
“That would depend on whether you’re going for something simple or elaborate, as well as the fabric.” Ji Weixi continued the duping in a businesslike manner. “Mo Nanfeng, I believe in the bottom of my heart that a man of your identity only deserves the highest-grade fabric and the best of designs, which puts the full cost somewhere around several million. Of course, that’s just the price of a car for you, right?”
The woman’s gaze was crystal clear and her words sounded especially sincere, and yet contained an irresistible charm.
On the other hand, while Mo Nanfeng was keeping a calm exterior, his hands were sweating nervously beneath the table.
That was the first time he felt that it was so difficult to pay three hundred thousand.
“Weixi, I actually don’t think the suit needs to be that fancy. Nowadays I like being subtle instead of showing off.”
Ji Weixi held her hand over her mouth. She almost laughed out loud.
Such a liar, neither blinking nor blushing.
“Subtle, huh. Then should I design the cheapest set?” she asked, offering him a way out.
Mo Nanfeng quickly nodded in acceptance, but grinned when he realized that it was too revealing. “You know it, it’s just a ceremony… throwing away a whole suit after wearing it once is a little wasteful.”
“Then pay the deposit of two hundred thousand.” Ji Weixi replied.
Mo Nanfeng inhaled sharply but forced a smile. “Well… Weixi, I forgot to bring my card with me. May I make the deposit into your account in a few days?”
“Sure,” Ji Weixi smiled politely. “Actually, you should deposit the amount to my company’s account without going through me.”
So that he knows she wouldn’t be embezzling him.
With that, she rose and left.
Mo Nanfeng followed behind her, his eyes running all over her body.
Ji Weixi always wore formal attire to work: a white shirt, a dark high waist skirt.
Mo Nanfeng could see her hips shifting every step she took, and those long, white legs of hers.
He swallowed, regretting in that very moment.
Why did he choose Ji Jianing four years ago?
***
Meanwhile.
Huixing Entertainment Corporation.
“Jianing, news about you is spreading across the whole world. I would like to help, but I can’t…” Eve, Ji Jianing’s manager began.
Ji Jianing had been crying, which left two long trails of tears over her face as she promptly turned to Eve. “You are leaving me too?”
Eve nodded, troubled. “You understand, Jianing. I don’t want that to happen, but the company told me to stay out of this. It’s clear that they are giving up on you.”
“No!” Ji Jianing rose to her feet and roared. “Why would they? I signed a four-year contract! I’m a up and coming star! I have so many, so many fans… I… I’m popular!”
Eve sighed at length, but advise her earnestly, “The company has said that the contract is annulled, but would pay you ten million in damages. Wake up, Jianing. What use is your popularity? Everyone is cursing you now! You made a mistake—you should never have had an affair with Jiang Zhuonan!”
“At first, it was just about you and Li Shaoling, and then suddenly Jiang Zhuonan was dragged into it. His company is in a mess and their bosses had already come asking for blood. It’s best for you to leave now, what’s wrong with ten million?”
“No! no!” Ji Jianing grabbed a flowerpot by the window and smashed it into the floor, screaming hysterically, “Lin Xiaoman was protected when he was caught last time, but why wasn’t I? My career has barely started, why are you treating me like this? That’s not what all of you said when I signed the contract!”
Shards of the pot and the soil within splashed all over, and Eve recoiled in fright.
Still, pressing her hand over her heard, her face turned cold. “Ji Jianing, enough! This is not the Ji family which tolerates your whims! The company had provided you the best resources when you signed on, giving you the best public relations… even I had to tear up my contract with my former client to partner with you! And don’t you know the backing Lin Xiaoman has? Do you have that?”
“I have Li Shaoling!” Ji Jianing yelled between sobs.
Her Shaoling would definitely save her.
Chapter 68: Daddy, Hurry, Mommy Is Running Away
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Eve sneered, her face mocking. “Keep up your silly dreams. Everything you enjoyed in the company is given because the higher-ups are giving face to Li Shaoling. You are the one who threw that all away, who shamelessly hooked up with Jiang Zhuonan. Everything that happened today was your own fault! You had been dealt such a good hand but messed it all up, so who could you blame? Now take that ten million when it’s still on the table and leave, or you’ll end up worse when the company puts you on ice!”
With that, Eve turned and left while Ji Jianing fell to the floor, crying in disbelief that her acting career was over.
She never expected that the big present Li Shaoling gave her was to have a new star like her fall.
However, she suddenly paused between her sobs, whipped out her phone and dialed a number.
“Hello.”
Once the person on the other end spoke, Ji Jianing wailed. “Grandma… save me…”
“Don’t call me ever again!”
The call was hung up without hesitation.
Ji Jianing stared at the phone screen, her tears pausing right then as her fingers tightened over her phone.
Her face was frighteningly fierce.
‘I would have been the young mistress of the Li family if not for you, Ji Weixi!
‘Why don’t you just die!’
***
The Li family residence.
“Hang up if she calls again.” Old Madam Li closed her eyes, breathed in her oxygen mask and wheezed for a moment before continuing. “To think I treated her like a granddaughter-in-law before! She just made Shaoling the laughing stock in all of River Town!”
Wilson hesitated for a moment before saying, “Madam, there’s something I’m not sure I should say.”
“Speak.”
“Actually,” the butler said calmly, “it’s not a bad thing for Young Master to be with Ji Weixi.”
At those very words, Old Madam Li’s eyes bulged as she glared at him. “That woman hurt him so terribly in the past, and you would give them your blessing? Wilson, you’ve served me for years and I thought that you saw things clearly, which is why I always left everything to you. But even you have gone senile too?!”
“Madam, that’s a long time ago and you mustn’t confuse one thing with another,” Wilson advised earnestly. “Ji Weixi was definitely why Young Master was caught in the accident, but you know very well why he left at the time. Moreover, he would always choose her if given the choice. Madam, it’s fate!”
Old Madam Li slowly calmed and she sighed, her eyes damp as she recalled a distant memory. “Shaoling’s has suffered much. All I did is in his best interest… He can be with any woman, but not Ji Weixi because he would wish he was dead if he remembers. As his grandmother, I cannot allow it.”
Wilson smiled. “Madam, have you forgotten? They have a child together.”
Old Madam Li’s eyes tightened. She closed her eyes and muttered, “Such ill fate…”
“Please rest, Madam. I shall take my leave.”
As Wilson closed the door, his eyes became distant as he looked upon the long and dark corridor.
It was indeed a past no one wished to remember.
***
It was evening and time to leave work.
Tian Miaomiao waved goodbye at Ji Weixi. “I’m off, Xixi.”
“Mommy, aren’t we waiting for Daddy?” The little one watched as Ji Weixi tidied things up.
She remembered today’s morning just then: kicking Li Shaoling off the bed, crashing into his chin and embarrassing him during the meeting…
Would a petty man like him show mercy?
Ji Weixi simply tousled the little one’s hair. “No. We’re leaving first.”
The little one pouted. “Okay…”
When everything was in order, Ji Weixi led him out of the office.
However, as soon as she locked the door, the little one abruptly held his own stomach, his face tightening. “Oh no, my tummy hurts… Mommy, I need the toilet! Wait for me, I’ll be back soon!”
Ji Weixi shook her head helplessly as he scampered away on his tiny feet.
The little one dashed as quickly as he could to the toilet, looked around him for a moment before calling a number on his phone.
Holding his little hand over his mouth, he whispered panickily, “Daddy, Mommy’s running away! Hurry!”

Ji Weixi waited for a long time, but her little one never came out.
So, she shouted from the entrance to the toilet. “Son? Are you done?”
When no one answered, Ji Weixi panicked and was about to enter to see what was going on.
That was when she felt a shiver down her spine.
Turning by reflex, she found Li Shaoling with an icy cold face, his eyes glaring at her like freezing ponds.
How did he move without a sound? Was he a ghost?
Nonetheless, Ji Weixi could clearly feel the danger, and took a step back while smiling dryly. “President Li, what a coincidence…”
Meanwhile, Li Shaoling inched closed and said coldly, “I heard you were running away.”
Eh?
Ji Weixi was baffled. “No, I wasn’t.”
He smiled coldly. “Liar!”
What was he on about? Why can’t she understand him?”
Meanwhile, the little one who had his ear on the door breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Shaoling’s voice.
Daddy’s finally here!
He kicked open the cubicle door and dashed towards Li Shaoling, grabbing him by the thigh and exclaiming childishly, “Daddy, you’re finally here!”
Ji Weixi quickly understood. Her expression turned icy and she grabbed the boy, ready to punish him.
“You’re quite the efficient tattler, Ji Jiayu!”
The little one simply tightened his hold over Li Shaoling’s thigh. “Save me, Daddy!”
Li Shaoling caught Ji Weixi by the wrist then and pulled her to him.
“What are you doing!? Let me go!”
Ji Weixi struggled, indignant at her son’s treachery.
Li Shaoling stared at her small face which was showing indignance and stubbornness, suddenly remembering the string of embarrassments she threw on him in the morning.
The reason he did not come looking for her was because he was waiting for her to come to him to coax him.
Not only was she unmoved, she even went to a café to met a male client, before readying to flee when work was finished for the day.
He therefore left all the tasks at hand and ran here without a word, and yet she still wasn’t giving him face.
Did he really appear that harmless?
A cruelness lurks just beneath his eye as he said sinisterly, “I’ll kill you if you run, Ji Weixi.”
Ji Weixi stopped struggling right then, gulping when she saw his serious look. “Then what about you?”
“I’ll kill myself too.”
“…Our son.”
“Orphanage.”
He is going to be with her if she died, whether they end up in hell or heaven.
They would be together forever, and he didn’t need to worry about where she was all the time.
Ji Weixi was having goosebumps from fear.
That’s more yandere than what she could take.
“Li Shaoling, you’re crazy!” She appeared utterly horrified.
In return, Li Shaoling leaned forward, holding her by her nape as his thin lips moved inches off her ears, whispering with his damp breath in utmost seriousness, “I’m actually crazier in bed.”
As Ji Weixi’s face went crimson, he added calmly, “You’ve experienced that.”
“…”
Argh.
She wanted to die.
Blushing, she gritted her teeth and cursed, “Scoundrel!”
Li Shaoling stayed impassive. “An honorable scoundrel. At least I’m not a hypocrite.”
Ji Weixi mocked, “You are a hypocrite.”
A hypocrite who only appeared honorable.
Li Shaoling flatly replied. “And I’m your man.”
“No, you’re not!” Ji Weixi looked around carefully.
Panting in rage, she took the little one’s hand and was ready to leave, but Li Shaoling abruptly caught both her hands and pinned her on the wall. The little one had quickly held his hands over his eyes, afraid to continuing watching his parents in that compromising position.
At the same time, Li Shaoling narrowed his eyes dangerously. “That’s your excuse for meeting a man behind my back?”
There was an oppressive air in his interrogation, but Ji Weixi mustered her courage and retorted, “What does that have to do with you?”
What does that…!?
Fine.
Li Shaoling whipped out his phone and made a call. “Get rid of Mo Nanfeng.”

Wow, he even knew who she had met.
Could he have sent someone to tail her?
“Hey, what are you doing!?” Ji Weixi panicked.
Li Shaoling narrowed his eyes. “What? Does your heart ache?”
“No, he has nothing to do with me. You’re just being ridiculous.”
“I’m ridiculous?” Li Shaoling gritted his teeth. “What about you, after you embarrassed me at the meeting and met him behind my back?”
Ji Weixi lowered her head sheepishly. “I… well, I was wrong.”
Li Shaoling’s anger was at once calmed by her pouting protest.
Nonetheless, Ji Weixi then persuaded him good-naturedly, “Look, I apologized—so don’t murder Mo Nanfeng, alright?”
She was toying with him after all, and her fountain of joy would dry up if he dies.
And in that instant, Ji Weixi felt as if the one standing beside her wasn’t a human, but a walking fridge.
On the other hand, Li Shaoling was smiling sinisterly.
Nice, she was still defending him even now.
“Ji Weixi, you’re mine. I will kill whoever is in your heart!”
There was no way he would allow her woman to have another man in her heart.
Each inch of her skin and each strand of hair was his, and no one is allowed to touch.
Still, Ji Weixi racked her brains to quickly come up with an explanation.
Did he believe that she likes Mo Nanfeng? What sort of a joke was that?
“President Li,” she said, “You’ve misunderstood… I don’t want him dead, I just think that he’s… too inferior, and would dirty your hand!”
Li Shaoling lifted his brow. “Really?”
Ji Weixi nodded furiously like a henchman. “Really!”
The ice in his eyes promptly shattered. “Are you mine?”
“Yeah, yeah. I’m yours!” Ji Weixi exclaimed without thinking.
However, she regretted those words the instant they left her lips.
Can she take it back?! It was a tremendous sacrifice just to coax him.
Nonetheless, Li Shaoling was smiling and he put his hand over her shoulder. “I want to punish you.”
Ji Weixi froze. “What… punish?”
Wasn’t he satisfied? Why would he still punish her? How childish can you be, president?”
Li Shaoling lifted her chin as he grinned. “Your punishment is to marry me.”
His gaze was gentle and his handsome features show that he was very serious.
Ji Weixi’s heart was almost struck by a critical hit and was thumping furiously.
She simply laughed drily at his face and played dumb.
What the hell, he is going to marry her?
No way, she wasn’t ready for that!
After all, being the wife of CBS International’s president was not an easy job.
She needed to take things slowly.
On the car back home, Li Shaoling kept Ji Weixi in his embrace with his chin resting on her collarbone.
Suddenly, he frowned.
“Clean yourself up when you reach home. I don’t like you having his smell.”
“Then can you spare Mo Nanfeng?” Ji Weixi asked gingerly.
“Alright.”
He was in a good mood since she admitted that she was his.
Meanwhile, the little one sat in a corner all by his lonesome, staring unhappily at his parents who were no different from a pair of conjoined twins.
‘Damned Daddy. Would I have let you hog Mommy if you weren’t going to make me a sister? Hmph!’
***
When they reached home, Ji Weixi heated up the bath.
However, the little one started to make a fuss for yogurt as she left the washroom. “Let’s go buy then,” she said.
Li Shaoling shot her a look. “Clean yourself up. I’ll take him.”
That look was basically telling her to clean herself up for him.
Wasn’t that a little too…
Still, the little one had picked up his bag and smiled sweetly. “I’m set, Daddy! Let’s go!”
Li Shaoling frowned. “What’s the bag for?”
“The yogurt! Carrying it like this looks good too!”
Li Shaoling frowned harder when he saw the picture on the bag. “Why does the pig look like a hairdryer?”
“It’s Piggy the Pig,” the little one snorted cheekily. “Well, you won’t understand even if tell you, Daddy!”
Was he being rejected by his own son?
