Mister Li, the Heart Bandit

Old Madam Li impatiently took the little one into her arms and showered him with kisses. “Oh, you’re such a good boy! Tell Great-grandma, what is your name?”

“My name is Ji Jiayu! Nice name, right?”

Old Madam Li flashed a cold glance at Ji Weixi, but kept smiling as she told the little one, “Your Daddy is Li, that’s why you have to take his name. From now on, your name is Li Jiayu.”

However, the little one shook his head without hesitation. “No! Ji Jiayu is the name Mommy gave me. I won’t change that!”

It seemed that the child was especially close to Ji Weixi, and taking him away wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover, she could not afford to have the child dislike herself in their first meeting.

As such, she smiled very mildly. “Alright, alright. We won’t change your name.”

The little one noticed Old Madam Li’s jade bangle then, and exclaimed in curiosity, “Eh, Great-grandma… what is that? It looks so nice!”

“Oh, this? It’s a bangle passed down in the Li family. It will be handed down to the next daughter-in-law.”

“Oh!” The little one’s eyes swiveled intelligently. “And my Mommy will be the next daughter-in-law of the Li family… Great-grandma, give it to Mommy!”

A cool look flashed through Old Madam Li as she shifted the conversation, and gestured for her servants to bring her crutch as she got on her feet. “Why don’t we check out the next room? I prepared so many things for you, you can play with anything you like!”

Nonetheless, the little one clearly wasn’t taking the bait, and quickly pouted, throwing a fit. “Boo-hoo! I want the bangle, it’s so beautiful!”

The entire Li family house shook at his tears.

Heartbroken, Old Madam wiped away his tears, not forgetting to glare at Ji Weixi, convinced that she told the boy to do that.

Even Ji Weixi felt irritated then—how many times had that old bag glared at her since she entered? She really couldn’t stand it!

Li Shaoling tousled her hair, smoothing it. “Good girl, getting angry is bad for your health.”

Wasn’t that her line?

Still, Ji Weixi took a deep breath and told herself that she won’t nitpick with someone with one foot reaching into the dirt.

“Baby, don’t cry. This bangle is very important, you can’t play with it.”

The little one cried even harder as soon as Old Madam Li spoke, leaving her heart thumping.

Sniffing his red nose while his eyes welled with tears, the little one looked utterly miserable. “I’m less important than a bangle! Great-grandma doesn’t love me… I won’t come anymore! Hmph!”

With that, he got off Old Madam Li’s thigh.

Forced to a corner, Old Madam Li helplessly exclaimed, “Fine, fine! I’ll let you play!”

One of the servants came and took off the bangle, and the little one quickly grabbed it and skipped around happily.

On the other hand, Old Madam Li was left very uncomfortable. “You must keep it to yourself—don’t give it to anyone else!”

Such as Ji Weixi!

After all, giving her the bangle meant indirectly acknowledging that she was the daughter-in-law of the Li family.

And that wouldn’t do!

Be that as it may, right after she said that, the little one had already dashed to Ji Weixi’s side and raise the bangle high overhead. “Mommy, quick, wear it!”

“No.” Ji Weixi refused, and then turned to cut a disdainful glare at Old Madam Li.

That old bag behaved as if she wanted to become the Li family’s young mistress very much.

However, the little one then passed the bangle to Li Shaoling. “Daddy, Daddy!”

Li Shaoling took it and then grabbed Ji Weixi’s hand, slipping the bangle on it.

Old Madam Li saw it and tried to rush towards them and take it back, but fell back into her seat as her strength failed her, leaving her glaring.

“Hey!” Ji Weixi tried to pull away but it was too late.

She looked at the bangle, and punched Li Shaoling. “What are you doing!”

She never agreed to marry him!

Li Shaoling gathered her into his arms and grinned at Old Madam Li. “Thank you, Grandma.”

Old Madam Li almost went out of breath. She perhaps could never have dreamt that the bangle which she would never just give to anyone was stolen by a brat’s deception.

She only had her own soft-heartedness to blame!

Having always doted over Li Shaoling, she naturally cherished his child too.

But the boy was really smart!

Nonetheless, she smiled mildly and waved at the little one, attempting to establish her character. “Come here, Jiayu.”

The little one skipped towards her happily after passing the bangle to Mommy, even making a little spin. “What is it, Great-grandma?”

“Do you like it here?”

“Yes!”

“Then do you want to stay here a few days with me?” Old Madam Li smiled harmlessly.

The little one tilted his head as he thought about it, while Old Madam Li continued to charm him. “I have many toys here, some that you never would’ve played before. You wouldn’t need a thing!”

Ji Weixi’s eyes turned cold.

That old bag is smart—knowing that she would never agree to it, she resorted to asking the little one.

Children had zero resistance to baits, especially at the little one’s playful age.

The little one put a finger between his lips, blinking as he asked, “Do you have Transformers?”

“Yes!”

“Then… what about Naruto figures?”

Old Madam Li’s smile broadened. “Yes, of course! I would even pluck off the stars from the skies if you asked!”

“Wow! How nice!” The little one’s eyes were sparkling, and he was clapping in joy. “Great-grandma is the best! I love you!”

Old Madam Li slid a smug look at Ji Weixi—the boy was definitely staying with her.

For her part, Ji Weixi was a little afraid. How could she stop her son if he enjoyed it?

But if she allowed him to stay, they would definitely hide him and she won’t see him for the rest of her life.

That damned old bag!

All smiles, Old Madam Li then asked, “Then will you stay here?”

The little one abruptly turned impassive and shook his head. “No.”

Old Madam Li was speechless, while Ji Weixi promptly breathed a sigh in relief.

As expected of her son!

Magnificent!

Meanwhile, everyone else was left dumbfounded.

The boy had just been beside himself in excitement and there was every indication that he would agree.

But Old Madam Li was still rejected.

What type of plot is this?

Old Madam Li was left in disbelief. “Jiayu, tell me. Why won’t you stay here?”

“Because I love Mommy.”

“Jiayu, you would grow up into a man. You can’t stay glued to Mommy!”

“Humph! Nope!” The little one’s dark eyes were full of grief. “Don’t you like Mommy, Great-grandma? There won’t be me if there’s no Mommy! If Great-grandma doesn’t like Mommy, I don’t like Great-grandma!”

With that, the little one turned and started to leave, taking Li Shaoling with his left hand and Ji Weixi with his right. “Mommy, Daddy, let’s go home!”

“Don’t—don’t go!” Desperate, Old Madam Li started to cough violently, her wrinkled face becoming a bloated red even as her glare bore a hole into Ji Weixi.

Nonetheless, she gritted her teeth and said, “Alright, alright, I like your Mommy!”

“Really!? Then I won’t leave!” The little one was beaming, having changed sides as quickly as changing clothes.

Standing in a corner, Wilson was hiding a smile.

The boy was really identical to Li Shaoling.

Genes!

Old Madam Li impatiently took the little one into her arms and showered him with kisses. “Oh, you’re such a good boy! Tell Great-grandma, what is your name?”

“My name is Ji Jiayu! Nice name, right?”

Old Madam Li flashed a cold glance at Ji Weixi, but kept smiling as she told the little one, “Your Daddy is Li, that’s why you have to take his name. From now on, your name is Li Jiayu.”

However, the little one shook his head without hesitation. “No! Ji Jiayu is the name Mommy gave me. I won’t change that!”

It seemed that the child was especially close to Ji Weixi, and taking him away wouldn’t be easy.
