Mister Li, the Heart Bandit

Chapter 159: You’re Mine!

Li Wanyun wanted to cook. Ji Weixi played assistant and took out the fish and prawn from the fridge.

Then, as she went to the kitchen and washed them in a basin, Li Wanyun snuggled up to her and whispered. “Xixi, hurry up and tell me: how is that thing going with Shaoling?”

“What thing?” Ji Weixi played dumb.

Li Wanyun sighed. “Your boy told me that Li Shaoling can’t do it. I feel for you, and apologize to you on behalf of the Li family. But it’s alright! I was a nutritionist; I know my aphrodisiacs! You just have to keep his supplements coming, and it’ll definitely help!”

...The little one really was a professional dadbreaker.

Li Shaoling would definitely spank him hard if he knew.

“What are you talking about?” Li Shaoling entered the kitchen then, hugging Ji Weixi from behind as if it was natural.

Embarrassed, Ji Weixi exclaimed in a hushed voice. “Let me go!”

There were people around. Didn’t he understand moderation?

“Nothing. Nothing at all.” Li Wanyun waved, not mentioning a single word about just now.

She knew her nephew’s prideful side well and would never hit him where it hurts.

Meanwhile, Li Shaoling pulled Ji Weixi firmly out of the kitchen. “Let my aunt do the cooking. You have to rest now.”

He had her sit on his lap. Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she quickly tried to get off but Li Shaoling stopped her.

“What are you being shy about? You’re mine.”

“Your aunt is here!”

“She’s of nobility but single. We have to torment her.”

JI Weixi was speechless. It was the first time she heard public display of affection being described so refreshingly and with such refinement.

On the other hand, Li Wanyun was sighing inwardly even as her nephew kept snuggling up to his wife.

How could such a healthy man... not be able to do it!

Ah, fate is a cruel mistress!

***

After dinner was cooked and served, the little one quickly picked out a prawn and started peeling it.

Li Wanyun never stopped bringing food to Li Shaoling. “Eat up, Shaoling!”

Li Shaoling frowned at his plate that was full of food.

She regretted even as she said it; she did not want to do that at all!

Li Shaoling was clearly taken aback and even a little doubtful, although he smiled after a long look. “Okay.”

Since he said yes, there was no way she could regret it now.

Hence, she peeled a prawn and held it beside his mouth, which he slowly chewed and swallowed.

She realized that he was handsome even when he eats.

“I’m thirsty.” Halfway through, he gave her a silent look, holding his chin while his eyes sparkled with expectation.

“Daddy’s so embarrassing! Mommy has to help him with everything!” The little one said as he watched in disdain from a corner, with rice sticking all over his mouth.

Nonetheless, Ji Weixi poured him a cup of water, but Li Shaoling had already moved closed to her and put his lips on the cup just as she was about to bring it to him.

She was dumbfounded, and could only lift the cup a little and help him drink.

He was so thick-skinned!

After dinner, Ji Weixi was about to help when she saw Li Wanyun tidy up the table, only for Li Shaoling to catch her. “You, rest.”

She was at a loss for words. “Your aunt is a guest. How could I have a guest tidy up?”

“She’s old now. Moving around is good for her body.” Li Shaoling said very seriously.

“...”

There’s no winning against him.

Li Wanyun sat opposite them after cleaning up.

Ji Weixi was wiping her little one’s mouth, while Li Shaoling was watching her lovingly from a corner.

“Shaoling, I’m relieved to see you so happy.” Li Wanyun was exclaiming inwardly.

Before she had gone overseas, Li Shaoling was still single since birth, a man of steel who only saw women as monsters.

But despite him being a bastard of the Li family and being held in disdain since forever, Li Wanyun liked her nephew a lot, and even preferred his company.

Therefore, she was gradually estranged from her own brother Li Nanhai.

Meanwhile, Li Shaoling crossed his legs and calmly asked, “Why did you come back this time, Aunt Wanyun?”

“Of course. Why would I come back otherwise?”

“What is it? Just tell me if you need help.”

“Oh, it’s no big deal. Relax!” Li Wanyun replied, but abruptly breathed a disappointed sigh. “But is it true what I heard, that your father wants Li Shaogan to help you at work?”

“Mm.”

“Your father’s gone senile!” Li Wanyun was immediately enraged. “Shaogan can’t walk and had always been in Europe, where management and policies must be different than here. CBS is fine with you alone, why would he have Shaogan squeeze in here?!”

Li Shaoling smiled faintly, and it was clearly skin deep. “He said Shaogan would be helping me.”

“No way!” Li Wanyun sneered immediately. “I clearly know what that old bag of bones is up to! Oh, Shaoling, you have to do your best... When it comes to Shaogan...”

Li Wanyun did not say more, but Li Shaoling nodded in understanding. “I know.”

The house was silent after those words.

Li Wanyun suddenly got to her feet—her voice was no longer as mild as before, and was actually serious as she said, “Xixi, come with me. I have something to talk to you about.”

Something?

What was it?

Surely, it’s not about ‘that thing’ with Li Shaoling...

Still, Li Wanyun didn’t look like such a person.

Ji Weixi stood up, glancing at Li Shaoling by reflex.

Li Shaoling hugged her and gave her a kiss. “She’s a good person. You don’t have to be afraid.

“...Okay.”

Ji Weixi walked into the kitchen with Li Wanyun, closing the door behind her.

The kitchen light was a little dim, which made Li Wanyun appear rather old unlike her youthful appearance before.

Still, she walked up to Ji Weixi and held her hands with an earnest look. “Xixi, I actually didn’t come back for anything important, but only for you and Shaoling.”

Slightly surprised, Ji Weixi muttered. “For me... and Shaoling?”

“I’ve watched Shaoling since he was a child. I know that his temper would flare from time to time and he could hurt you then... but the child is still kind.” She said earnestly. “Why did I come back in the first place? That’s because he messaged me saying that he fell in love with a woman named Ji Weixi.”

“Shaoling had never given any girl so much attention since he was a child. You are the first, and that is why I came back: I’m curious who he could fall so hard for.” Li Wanyun’s gaze became even gentler the more she spoke, even stretching her hand to stroke Ji Weixi’s hair. “And he’s right: you have the looks and the heart. You’re worth the love.”
