He smiled wider as Li Nanhai bristled in indignation. "Li Nanhai. I will make you suffer ten times the pain you forced on Mother."

With those words, he went up and slapped Li Nanfeng heavily on his shoulder, and pulled Ji Weixi with him to leave.

"Brother!"

Li Shaogan approached him in his wheelchair and persuaded good-naturedly, "You shouldn't argue with Father."

When Li Shaoling pretended that he didn't hear him at all, Li Shaogan explained to Ji Weixi with a grim face, "Sister-in-law… we're usually very peaceful… please don't misunderstand…"

Ji Weixi withheld her disgust towards him and simply grunted. 

Standing outside the door, Wilson asked, "Young Master… won't you stay for lunch?"

"No."

"Leave! Leave and don't come back!" Li Nanhai roared, smas.h.i.+ng his teacup on the floor.

Meanwhile, Li Shaogan leaned into his wheelchair, staring at Ji Weixi's slim back and slowly smiling slyly.

***

In the car, Li Shaoling had a dark look on his face. It seems that he was in a bad mood.

Ji Weixi did not dare to say a thing, and simply kept quiet beside him.

But when the car pa.s.sed by a downtown area and Ji Weixi's eyes sharply picked up an ice cream stall, she quickly recovered.

"Stop!"

Li Shaoling stared at her with his deep, dark eyes in confusion.

Ji Weixi awkwardly pointed outside the car window. "There's… ice cream."

"You shouldn't eat cold food."

"But you can."

"I'm abstaining too."

If she couldn't eat, she would feel even worse watching him eat.

Wow. He actually cut off the conversation right there.

Not one who could sweet-talk men, Ji Weixi simply got down from the car stubbornly and waved at him happily. "Get off. Let's have a stroll."

Li Shaoling looked at the noisy, congested crowds outside in slight disdain, but eventually got off the car as well.

Ji Weixi went to buy two cotton candy made in the shape of pink roses.

"What's that?" Li Shaoling frowned.

"Cotton candy."

Li Shaoling stared at Ji Weixi as she enjoyed hers and imitated her, gingerly putting the cotton candy into his mouth.

Too sweet.

And it had no taste other than sweet.

His face showed disdain.

"Isn't it sweet?" Ji Weixi asked, her eyes sparkling.

Li Shaoling could not bear telling the truth, and simply forced a smile and a grunt. "Very sweet."

And very disgusting.

Ji Weixi could not help laughing at his blank look. "Eat sweet food when you're having a bad mood, and you'll feel better."

Was she… trying to sweet-talk him?

He looked down to find the little woman looking up, flas.h.i.+ng her white teeth and red lips in a smile that curved her bright eyes into crescent moons.

This side of her was lively and his.

Even as Li Shaoling watched her, his heart was having a sweeter time than that cotton candy, his thin lips unwittingly forming a smile.

When she saw him smile, Ji Weixi continued her sweet-talking, "You shouldn't feel down. You have to think of your son!

However, Li Shaoling's smile immediately faded at the mention of their son.

"…"

That son was not essential to him.

Nonetheless, Ji Weixi beamed dazzlingly and coaxed, "You still have me too!"

Warmth returned to Li Shaoling's cooled smile immediately. With a tender look in his eyes, he reached out and caressed her face.

Ji Weixi laughed dryly even as his gaze became ever warmer, pretending that nothing happened and kept eating her cotton candy.

Really, she had to pretend he was her pampered son each time she sweet-talked him.

A thin redness appeared over her cheeks, and she put the cotton candy on her lips and licked it.

Li Shaoling's eyes went red, and embraced her from behind.

Ji Weixi stiffened, and quickly tried to free herself. "No! A lot of people are watching."

Li Shaoling rubbed himself on her. "No."

Just like a child asking for candy.

Ji Weixi feebly gave up on struggling. "What do you want so that you let me go then?"

"No can do." He won't let her go for the rest of their lives.

Fine. Hug away.

Indeed, many were looking towards them enviously.

Blus.h.i.+ng, Ji Weixi feigned composure and continued eating her cotton candy.

That was when Li Shaoling widened his mouth. "Feed me."

Huh? Where did his cotton candy go?

"I threw it away." He said most boldly.

After all, she would be forced to share with him after he threw his.

Ji Weixi sincerely felt that he was her son right then—his childishness went beyond the horizon.

Hence, she lifted her cotton candy beside his mouth. "Good boy, open up…"

Li Shaoling took a bite, gulped it down and frowned.

"No good?"

"Nope."

"Then would you eat it?"

"Because you're feeding me."

"…"

Such lovely words, so well spoken!

He started to greed for more then. "Kiss me."

"No!" She refused.

There's no way she would do that with so many eyes watching.

It's only at home, when there's no one else…

Ahem. She must stay reserved.

Li Shaoling sounded unhappy. "I'm having a bad mood. It'll only improve if you kiss me."

He was going to drive her crazy and to tears. "Could you stop fooling around, Li Shaoling?" she exclaimed. "Let me go!"

So annoying!

Li Shaoling glanced sideways and flashed a tender smile at her. "Kiss me and I'll let go," he said with a deep, alluring voice.

Ji Weixi wanted to slam a potty in his face right then.

So clingy….

Fine, whatever—she wouldn't nitpick with a child. It's just a kiss.

Ji Weixi gave him a swift kiss.

He just had cotton candy, so it tasted quite sugary…

This man is actually so d.a.m.n sweet!

Satisfied, Li Shaoling let her free.

***

When they returned to the car, Ji Weixi suddenly said without really thinking, "Let's visit Su Yang."

She inwardly apologized to the pianist—it had been two very busy days, and she almost forgot about him entirely.

Li Shaoling's smile faded instantly. "No."

"I'll go with you, please?!"

"No!" There was no way he would let her meet mister manwh.o.r.e.

"I won't care about you anymore if you don't let me!" Ji Weixi threatened.

Li Shaoling grabbed her chin and inched closer dangerously. "Care to say that again?"

She would give him the cold-shoulder for one little mister manwh.o.r.e. Ridiculous!

"You… He saved me…" Ji Weixi said gingerly. "I should visit him…"

'And did you ever think of me?'

Li Shaoling released her and ignited the engine with a sunken face.

As the car roared and darted away, Ji Weixi felt her heart almost dropping out. "Where are you going?!"

Li Shaoling kept a long face but said nothing. His eyes looked extremely vicious.

Ji Weixi almost threw up when she got down from the car, but was smiling inwardly even as she rubbed the stomach—they were at the hospital.

He listened to her even if he looked unwilling.

JI Weixi bought a fruit basket before going to Su Yang's ward.

But when they reached the door, they found a few men inside playing mahjong, and Su Yang was nowhere to be seen.

She went to the front desk and asked the nurse about it, who revealed that Su Yang had been discharged some time ago.

She stared at the fruit basket and sighed. What a waste.

"There's nothing good about mister manwh.o.r.e." Li Shaoling said with disdain.

"He's not a manwh.o.r.e; he's a pianist!"

"He is if I say he is. Objection overruled!"

"…"

He could just say that he didn't like Su Yang. Why give him a nickname?!
