109 Li Shaoling Is My Man, You Have To Get Through Me First!

Think carefully, my foot!

Ji Weixi's fists were clenching at her sides, and her voice was sub-zero when she turned. "Don't make yourself sound so grand. You have certainly allowed Li Shaoling to return home and helped him, but did you do that selflessly? Li Shaoling is where he is today because he struggled with his own ability, and the reason you would leave the Li family in his hands is because he listens to you and allowed you to use him!"

"The truth is that you don't have his best interests in mind, and thought of him as a puppet from the very start. You never saw things from his point of view!"

Utterly agitated, Ji Weixi's body was shaking even as she laughed coldly. "b.a.s.t.a.r.d, huh? So what if anyone is a b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Do they deserve everything thrown at them? To be cursed at, to be denied a right to live? No one can choose the status they are born into! Li Shaoling respects you only because you brought him into the Li family, but he had sacrificed so much more than you did over the years."

"I hate immoral people like you the most. Did you think no one could survive away from the Li family? Let me tell you, old bag, Li Shaoling could definitely claim the entire Li family with what he can do. And you would know better than I do the reason why he didn't do that!"

Despite ranting, Ji Weixi made herself very clear. "From that word alone, I would never allow my son to be taken in by the Li family! He has me, he has Li Shaoling—would anyone be stupid enough to call him a b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Is your brain failing just because your eyes have gone blind, old bag?

"And by the way, Li Shaoling is my man. You must get through me first if you want to hurt him! That said, you are almost dead, so it's best you try to acc.u.mulate some merit so as to avoid punishment in the underworld. I may have a bad temper, but you have no relations with me at all, and that means I can p.i.s.s you off until you die. So shut your stinking mouth if you don't want to die!"

And stop spraying your bulls.h.i.+t everywhere!

With that, Ji Weixi slammed the door heavily as she left.

It was deafening.

Meanwhile, Old Madam Li's face had gone green and she was having trouble breathing. Enraged to the point of death, she pressed a hand over her chest and wheezed in utter anguish, and yelled at the top of her lungs, "Someone… help!"

The servant was considerably shocked and quickly rushed off to call the doctor.

The second floor was hence left in a mess.

***

On the other hand, Ji Weixi was having a pleasant time after saying so much.

But when she was about to go downstairs, she caught a figure with the corner of her eye, leaving her frozen in place like a statue.

In the dimness, the man was leaning on a corner of the wall, almost femininely slender with an indescribable bust.

He was looking at her sideways. On his p.r.o.nounced and handsome face, beneath his thick eyebrows and his bottomless pupils, the mole beneath his eye added to his charm.

Ji Weixi was screaming inwardly. Had he been there all along?

Did he hear everything she said just now?

d.a.m.n it!!!

Li Shaoling slowly made his way towards her, his footsteps getting ever louder within the empty corridor.

Thud—

It was as if each thud was stamped onto her heart.

Li Shaoling then stood, looking down upon her in silence.

Ji Weixi was so nervous her palms were sweating.

He smiled sinisterly then. "You were saying that I'm your man?"

"No!" Ji Weixi quickly denied, afraid that he would misunderstand. "I… said that to annoy her."

However, Li Shaoling kept watching her in silence, as if it was a quiet interrogation.

She racked her brains trying to come up with an explanation. "Don't look at me like that. I was only trying to provoke her…"

He remained silent, which drove her out of her mind.

Could it be that he's angry that she made Old Madam Li angry?

After all, he was a good grandson to him.

"Are… Are you mad at me for making her angry?"

Please say something, bro.

While she would admit that she had been overstepping, she felt good.

"I won't do that again," she added dishonestly, "so could you please… huh?"

Li Shaoling had suddenly gathered her into his arms tightly, to the point that she had trouble breathing.

He was so tall that Ji Weixi had to keep her head tilted upwards and stand on her toes to hug him.

Breathing heavily, he buried his head on her shoulder.

Ji Weixi could feel that he was shaking a little, but he suddenly freed her when she was about to console him.

He looked at him, his eyes flickering with broken lights as he smiled. "What should I do? I think I love you even more now."

Ji Weixi felt her blood boil in an instant, surging into her heart before exploding.

He was actually saying that he loves her.

She thought that she had suddenly fallen into a can of honey.

Ji Weixi stared at him dumbly as her head went blank, unsure how to react at once.

Li Shaoling watched her dumbfounded gaze and inched closer, pressing down.

Tonight, he had been as mild as water.

Holding his lapel, Ji Weixi felt a little nervous.

For the first time, she felt that kisses could be so…

Enjoyable.

When he pulled away, she could see herself distinctly in his clear pupils.

She suddenly thought about her conversation with Old Madam Li, and that he must have been upset when he listened in on them outside the door.

As if compelled by a mysterious force, Ji Weixi embraced him.

He clearly stiffened for a moment before returning the hug.

Meanwhile, the nearby room was left in utter confusion.

Old Madam Li's condition was awry, and yet Ji Weixi and Li Shaoling had each other in their arms, as if they were the only humans left in the world.

Ji Weixi closed her eyes.

His warm chest was heating her cold body, and she had an impulse of wanting to stay with him until they grew old…

Beneath brows, Li Shaoling's eyes were dim, glimmering with watery light.

It was the first time she praised him and defended him, even bragged proudly about.

He had been scolded since he was a child.

The reason no one would scold him now was because he took a seat that would leave others cowed.

Indeed, they did not curse him because they were afraid, not because they accepted him.

He had still blamed himself for being a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, someone undesirable.

But now no longer.

He was now someone Ji Weixi was proud of, and he would be that until the end.

As Ji Weixi calmed and pulled away, she scratched her head awkwardly. "Well… things don't look well for your grandma, should we go see?"

Li Shaoling smiled tenderly. "Alright."

That was when Wilson arrived upstairs with the little one.

"Mommy!" He quickly let go of Wilson's hand and happily ran to Ji Weixi, looking up at her. "Eh? Why are your lips so red, Mommy… Oh! You're making sister with Daddy again!"

'What are you talking about!'

Ji Weixi felt her cheeks go hot and stared at him threateningly. "I'll smack you if you say more!"

The little one pouted and snorted.

He was becoming less confident with Li Shaoling since his sister had yet to arrive.

'Yeah, Daddy is too weak.'

And in her room, Old Madam Li was breathing into an oxygen mask on a bed, her eyes closed in exhaustion. It was as if Ji Weixi's provocation had taken off half of her lifespan, and she did not look like she had any vigor.
