Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was seven in the morning on the next day when Ji Weixi woke up again.

She rubbed her eyes and stretched. The discomfort throughout her body was gone now, but she was feeling even more exhausted.

The curtains were tightly shut as if in fear that someone would be disturbed if sunlight came in.

Ji Weixi sat up, her limbs sore and feeble. She touched the spot beside her by instinct, but it was already cold now.

And there was no one else around.

Could Li Shaoling have become mentally disabled and ran off to play with mud?

Startled by that very thought, Ji Weixi was about to throw the sheets off herself when she heard the door open with a beep.

Li Shaoling entered, carrying breakfast.

He looked refreshed, spirited, and so handsome that no one could tear their eyes away from him.

“You’re up?”

He set up the bed table and put the breakfast on it, opening one container after another.

But just as Ji Weixi wanted to say something, he beat her to the punch and kissed her.

“Morning kiss.” He grinned.

Compared to the him now, she preferred the him from yesterday who became childlike in his fever.

That way, he could be controlled and be obedient without retorting, allowing Ji Weixi to feel in control.

Now that he had regained his wits, there probably was no controlling him once again.

Still, Ji Weixi felt a little embarrassed. “I haven’t brushed my teeth.”

“It’s fine, I don’t dislike it.”

Ji Weixi had a sip of milk and a bite of a steamed pork bun—it was quite delicious.

That was when she looked up to find Li Shaoling sitting beside her, staring at her with his hand under his chin in a most upfront manner.

He did not even blink at once, but instead looked very serious.

She thought she must look overwhelmingly ugly, having not washed her face and messy bed hair. What was he admiring so determinedly then?

Feeling as if she was sitting on a carpet of needles, she continued eating her breakfast, pulling some loose strands of hair behind her ear.

It took some effort for her to finish it beneath his searing gaze, but just as she was about to get off bed, Li Shaoling asked, “Where are you going?”

“Wash up...”

Li Shaoling scooped her up.

“Eh? What are you doing?” Ji Weixi’s cheeks were a little red.

“Carrying you off to wash up.” Li Shaoling’s smile became wider when he saw her endearing look.

And in the end, he was standing in a corner and watching as she brushed her teeth and washed her face.

“...”

Why did she have a feeling that she was in jail and being watched by a warden?

When she was done washing up, Li Shaoling suddenly hugged her from behind when she was about to change, touching her underbelly as if it was treasure. “Does it still hurt?”

Afraid to move, Ji Weixi answered truthfully, “It doesn’t.”

His hands tightened around her, and there was a command a voice in his voice now. “Don’t go off getting yourself soaked in rain next time. Got it?”

He actually knew?

Then... didn’t it mean he knew about how she had coaxed him yesterday?

Ji Weixi felt that it didn’t sit right with her.

“Silly.” He sighed softly beside her ears. “I’ll feel sad.”

She laughed drily. “It’s fine... you got wet because of me too... we’re... square now.”

“I would die for you, but I forbid you from getting even a scratch from me.” He replied.

A warmth arose in Ji Weixi’s heart, but she calmly asked, “Are you alright now?”

“Yeah.”

Li Shaoling’s arms tightened around her once again, his cheek brushing against hers as he quietly said, “You’re so nice to me.”

The scenes of yesterday were still vivid in his mind, affirming his determination to spoil her to the heights of the heavens.

Ji Weixi shyly tried to shift aside, her cheeks scalding as she bit her lip. “You... let me go.”

What a puppy.

Her heart thumped wildly, with waves of electric currents numbing her body.

“You told me that you would never leave me. You have to fulfill your promise.”

Ji Weixi was speechless.

“I have a record of your voice in my phone too. We’re getting married tomorrow, or I’m suing you.”

“....”

So suffocating.

“Well... do I have a chance of winning my case?” Ji Weixi asked meekly.

“Not in your life. You’re mine.”

“Capitalism is evil!” Ji Weixi glared at him angrily.

There was only tender affection in his eyes. “Only with you.”

***

Li Shaoling continued bugging Ji Weixi for quite some time with hugs and kisses.

She was blushing a lot when they went downstairs. The attendants could not envy her more.

It was as if that woman’s last name is ‘Bliss’!

Outside, the after-rain air was full of a muddy scent, while the sun shone warmly on the body.

Ji Weixi scowled when she got in the car. “Now, where are we going to look for Jian Jie?”

“She’s at a gambling den.”

“What?!”

Li Shaoling passed her his phone, and she understood after scanning through it: Jian Jie has a boyfriend—an addicted gambler who lived off women, named Lin Kai.

He was twenty-five and was doing nothing worthwhile in life, depending on Jian Jie who made a living to sustain him.

Ji Weixi understood right then. “So Jian Jie took the bribe for her boyfriend.”

However, she was also curious—from where did Li Shaoling get this information?

She slid a glance at him: he was focusing on driving, and quite happy despite having his phone in her grasp.

Sneakily, she checked it and found his conversation history with someone whose net ID is ‘Fat Butterfly’.

[Fat Butterfly: Ling Ling, love you~ I gave you so much dirt, remember to treat me to dinner when you come back~]

[Li Shaoling: Okay.]

It was a simple exchange, but Ji Weixi blew up immediately.

And what a mouthful name. Sounds so horrible!

“A friend.”

“A man or a woman?”

Li Shaoling glanced at her, lifting a brow. “A woman.”

Ji Weixi’s grip on his phone became tighter as she sneered inwardly.

Very nice, Li Shaoling! Always murmuring those sweet things and how he could not love her more, and here he was, already having an affair.

All men are pigs! Liars that can’t be trusted!

Ji Weixi could not help wanting to curse his whole family, but maintained a calm appearance

“Eating vinegar 1?” He asked.

“Where would I get vinegar? I’m not having dumplings.”

“So, you are jealous.”

“I’m not!” Ji Weixi’s voice became just a little louder.

Li Shaoling immediately stopped the car and snuggled up to her. “You usually don’t talk like that. Your eyes are also evading mine and there’s duress in your tone, not to mention that your look exposes everything: You are jealous, Ji Weixi, and you still wouldn’t admit it.”

Ji Weixi was speechless.

She couldn’t say anything against that.

Could he help her save a little face? How could he expose her so directly?

“Alright.” Li Shaoling said, ending his teasing. “He’s actually a man and a friend of mine. Don’t be angry, alright?”

Ji Weixi gave a cold snort and stubbornly refused to admit it. “Who’s angry? I’m not.”

“Okay, you’re not angry. Then will you forgive me?”

“No way!”

He cheated her! He needed a spanking!

Nonetheless, Li Shaoling put his arm around her shoulders, and pulled so close to her their breaths were tangled. “I love you.”

“...”

Oh my god. This again!

“My fault, I won’t tease you again.” Li Shaoling put on a miserable look. “Dear Weixi, don’t be angry, alright? There’s only you in my heart, and I love you only. don’t you believe me?”

Ji Weixi steeled herself. “Nope.”

Li Shaoling gave her a kiss. “I love you.”

That process continued, with him saying ‘I love you’ each time he kissed her and growing in tenderness with every murmur. Cornered, Ji Weixi’s face went hot-red and was left with no dignity at all.

She was going crazy.
