That was when the car braked suddenly. She lurched forward, but the seatbelt pulled her back immediately.

Ji Weixi felt something in her stomach flipping and surging upwards, and was about to stream out of her mouth.

She fumbled to open the door but found that it was locked, and hence anxiously slapped the car window. "Let me out!"

It was a sight that most befitted the song [Tears Behind the Steel Window].

Click—

The lock was opened, and Ji Weixi impatiently pushed the door and started to gag while holding a tree.

Even so, nothing came out—she dry-vomited all the way, tears of disgust welling in her eyes.

But when she straightened her back, her head turned heavy and her feet light, the world spinning and darkening around her while her stomach burned.

What beer could it be? Its latent strength was so strong!

When she was about to feebly fall head-first into the ground, firm, strong arms caught her in time.

Ji Weixi could not help looking up at the familiar scent.

His eyes cold, Li Shaoling was glowering at her.

Unable to control herself, she smiled a girly grin. "Li Shaoling, you look like I owe you money…"

Li Shaoling's face darkened even more.

"Hehehe… what are you looking at? So what? I'm beautiful, but you will never have me…"

Li Shaoling's face darkened even more.

She would never say those things usually, but now that she was drunk and could not control herself, even if she was retained some of her rationality.

Now, without an ounce of restraint, Ji Weixi was pinching Li Shaoling's face and smiling charmingly. "Look at you. You call Su Yang pale face… but your face is even paler than anyone else's! Now talk! You've had many women, right!?"

Then, as Li Shaoling did not say anything, she made a fierce look to threaten him. "Not a word? Are you playing dumb now!? I'll beat you if you don't talk! Spanking!"

As if spanking her son.

Having kept quiet with an icy look, Li Shaoling's eyes were twitching at that.

She could bear to spank him?

At the same time, Ji Weixi was leaning on him softly, mumbling. "Li Shaoling. I hate you!"

Li Shaoling punis.h.i.+ngly nibbled her ear. "But do you love me more or hate me more?"

Ji Weixi was inwardly resistant, but she could not help herself and said, "Love, of course."

The smile in his eyes did not falter at all. He kissed her, and then coaxed her like a child, "Weixi, you are a good girl. Shall we stay at my house tonight?"

Staring at his face, she nodded with a lovestruck look. "O… okay."

"Don't regret it." Li Shaoling's smile was like a cunning fox.

Nonetheless, as Ji Weixi nodded obediently, her adorable watery gaze almost prompting Li Shaoling to take here right there, right now.

She was carried into the car, which traveled along a rather b.u.mpy road.

She was carried again as she was about to fall into deep slumber.

Rubbing her eyes, she pouted unhappily when she found that the house was dark and quiet. "Why don't you turn on the lights… to think that the great president would save electricity… you're so stingy, Li Shaoling."

Li Shaoling was speechless.

Keeping his patience, he coaxed her, "Be nice. I'm afraid your eyes might hurt."

"Okay…" Ji Weixi rubbed her head on his chest. "You're so caring…"

Li Shaoling's body promptly tightened. His eyes were almost dark red as he watched the little woman in his arms, and quickened his steps as he moved upstairs.

Luckily, no one else saw that alluring look of hers.

Or he was going to murder someone.

Putting Ji Weixi on the bed, he took off her shoes. She then flipped around, shrank into the sheets and was asleep.

She looked just like a young girl when sound asleep, all her thorniness fallen off.

After Li Shaoling slipped an exposed foot of hers under the blanket as well, and went to the bathroom for a cold shower.

He never took advantage of anyone when they were vulnerable, although he didn't know how it had happened four years ago.

Otherwise she was going to take her son and leave him if she woke up to find that she was… that.

It did not matter where their son went, but she mattered.

He would not let her flee like she did four years ago and suffer alone.

After his shower, he laid next to her.

In her dreams, Ji Weixi felt as if she was covered in a block of ice, and shoved by reflex.

But she couldn't push it away, and it tightened around her instead.

***

The next day.

The first thing Ji Weixi saw was cyan curtains when she woke up.

Moreover, she noticed that the blanket over herself was white and not the pink color of her own house.

She must be dreaming and not sober yet.

But when she closed her eyes and opened them again, the scene remained the same.

She turned around, immediately digging herself deeper into a warm embrace.

Looking up, her eyes met a smiling gaze.

Li Shaoling's soft black hair glinted, and he was holding her head with one hand and looking at her sideways.

Those dark eyes were deep and attractive, even if it was a little lazy and tired.

His thin lips were faintly arced in a smile that could charm all living beings.

"You're awake." Even his hoa.r.s.e voice was s.e.xy.

Ji Weixi gasped. She looked at him, and then at herself.

She was wearing his white s.h.i.+t…

…and…

Nothing else.

"Ah!"

She screamed and sat up, covering herself with the blanket. "Li Shaoling! Y-Y-You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"

How could he take advantage of her! d.a.m.n it!

Pig! b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Thug!

Meanwhile, he sat up carefreely as well, pulling her into his arms and smiled teasingly. "I'll take responsibility, baby."

"Get lost!" Ji Weixi pushed him in irritation. "You fake gentleman! How dare you… do that to me! You're not human…"

She became more aggrieved the more she thought about that scene. Embarra.s.sed and angry, Ji Weixi's started to cry, her tears flowing uncontrollably.

Li Shaoling became fl.u.s.tered when she cried. Making a serious face, he rubbed away her tears and said mildly, "Okay, okay. I was just teasing you—I never did anything to you."

"Bulls.h.i.+t!" Ji Weixi's exclaimed indignantly, her face going red. "I… My hip hurts…"

"Even if it hurts, I never touched you."

"You…" Ji Weixi pulled at her own s.h.i.+rt angrily. "How did you undress me if you didn't touch me?"

Only heaven knows how he suffered.

Although he thought that he would have her in his arms until morning, the woman climbed off and started vomiting away after sleeping a wink.

Being one obsessed with hygiene, he had to hold back his rage clean up her puking in the middle of the night and then help her take a bath.

Well, he could skip that rather exploiting part.

"You've puked all over yourself last night," Li Shaoling said feebly. "Or would you rather I keep hugging your smelly body to sleep?"

That… made sense.

Soon, however…

"Then, didn't you…?!"

"It's nothing I haven't seen before."

"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Ji Weixi picked up a pillow and threw it at him.

Li Shaoling caught it with his quick reflexes and dumped it on the floor, before taking her into his arms and sweet-talking her tenderly and quietly. "Be nice. I won't touch you as long as you don't like it."

"Really." Ji Weixi was doubtful.
