Chapter 170: I Spoiled Her. Got a Problem?
The thought that it wasn’t true did cross Ji Weixi’s mind, but no one could change the past, just as she and Li Shaoling didn’t know what happened back then. Even if Li Shaoling denied what that woman said, what if something like this repeats itself in the future?
Moreover, the day would come that he remembered what happened—could they still be together then?
Although Li Shaoling had made his promise, Ji Weixi just couldn’t find her confidence.
Even as he watched the woman force a smile, Li Shaoling really wanted to tell her that whether it was four years ago or four years after, she would be the only one for him.
However, she was a woman like a blossoming rose, so heartrendingly beautiful but one would have to get their finger bleeding plucking it.
Li Shaoling could not bear to break the barrier she put up in pretense.
“Hungry? Let’s eat” He petted her head and stood up, acting as if nothing happened.
Li Shaoling had bought a porridge—scooping up a spoonful, he put it beside his lips and blew on it before holding it beside Ji Weixi’s mouth.
Although she was looking at the white porridge, that woman’s voice was echoing beside his ears.
“Shaoling went to buy my favorite porridge.”
Favorite porridge…
Favorite…
Ji Weixi thought that the porridge became a sharp blade that stabbed her chest, letting loose the blood pooling over her chest.
Nonetheless, she opened her mouth and gulped it down.
“How does it taste?” Li Shaoling asked caringly.
Ji Weixi quickly smiled. “Delicious.”
She did her best so that her tears wouldn’t fall and lose face.
Even so, she hated herself very much at this very moment.
She was clearly jealous, but she wouldn’t admit it.
Nor would she ask herself if she loved Li Shaoling.
She’s a coward.
Having lost the instinct, she no longer knew yearning.
***
After the meal, Ji Weixi leaned into his arms a little dispiritedly.
He patiently sweet-talked her. “Didn’t you say you don’t like being at the hospital?”
Ji Weixi looked up at him, waiting for his next words.
“The doctor said that your body is fine and you can be discharged tomorrow.”
“Really?” Her eyes brightened.
Li Shaoling breathed an inward sigh of relief to see her being pleased. “Really.”
Soon, however, Ji Weixi’s eyes lost that sparkle too.
After receiving that woman’s call, she suddenly wanted to hide in the hospital and not leave.
Later, Li Shaoling coaxed her to sleep. He then gently pushed the door open and left, and headed to the stairs to make a call.
“Hello? Shaoling! You’re finally calling me!” Qiao Biluo answered almost immediately, her wild delight positively irrepressible.
Li Shaoling never usually made a move on his own and saw everything else as pests. Like Ji Jianing, Qiao Biluo’s feelings were one-sided.
As such, she was as surprised as she pleased that Li Shaoling would call her.
Nonetheless, Li Shaoling asked directly straightaway, “What did you talk to her about?”
“Her? Are you talking about the woman who answered your phone?” Qiao Biluo suddenly sounded upset. “I said nothing, Shaoling… a-are you questioning me?”
Li Shaoling showed no emotion at all. “You won’t talk? I’m hanging up.”
“No-no-no!” Qiao Biluo was absolutely frightened and pouted unhappily. “Oh, Shaoling, I really said nothing! All I did was ask where you’ve been, and she hung up even before I finished. She’s so impolite! Hmph!”
“I spoiled her. You got a problem?” Li Shaoling said arrogantly.
Qiao Biluo was immediately stumped, and unable to say a word.
“Your stinking mouth has no right to criticize my woman.”
Li Shaoling briskly hung up.
***
On the other end of the call, Qiao Biluo angrily smashed her own phone on the wall, her face contorted in rage.
“You’re quite obsessed with Li Shaoling, aren’t you.” A sly, hollow voice suddenly spoke.
Qiao Biluo turned to the corner at the man who was slowly approaching her.
He was moving his wheelchair forward and slowly appearing between darkness and light. His utterly pale complexion was sinister, and as his blood-red lips curled and parted, sharp teeth glinting in the light were exposed—making him appear like a vampire of the night.
Qiao Biluo sneered. “What does my obsession have to do with you?”
The man smiled in return. “Perhaps we could work together.”
“Work together?”
It was as if Qiao Biluo heard a great joke. “Li Shaogan, why don’t you look into the mirror at your poor face! You’re crippled, abandoned by the Li family and simply had no worth, and you want to work with me? Do you even think you’re up to it?!”
Be that as it may, Qiao Biluo’s disdainful tone did not even anger Li Shaogan. Instead, his smile grew wider.
He simply remained between the brightness and the shade, which kept half of his face in the dark and the other half in the light. “You would know soon enough whether I have worth.”
Qiao Biluo rolled her eyes at him in contempt, utterly disregarding his words as she took another champagne glass and poured herself more red wine.
She was about to drink when she saw it—her eyes bulged in shock and she gaped in terror.
“You… you…” She pointed at Li Shaogan, but was so frightened she couldn’t finish her sentence.
Li Shaogan smiled darkly once again. “How is it? Surprised?”
Qiao Biluo gulped and slowly nodded.
Li Shaogan snapped his fingers, gesturing that it was a secret not to be spilled as he became full of wildness inherent of men. “Well, Miss Qiao, here’s to a good partnership.”
***
The next day, Ji Weixi tossed around in her sickbed.
However, was feeling uncomfortable as if something was looking at her, and was forced to open her eyes soon enough.
She found Tian Miaomiao, Jiang Cong and Li Wanyun standing beside her bed, and her little one who was in Li Wanyun’s arms.
All four of them were stooping over to look at her as if staring death into her!
Ji Weixi was so startled she screamed as her back broke out cold sweat.
“Are you guys trying to scare me to death!?”
“Mommy, I missed you so much!” The little one leaped from Li Wanyun’s arms up to the bed, diving into Ji Weixi’s arms and rubbing his small head over her chest.
Heh. Daddy is not here anyway, so he’ll rub some more.
“My boy!” Ji Weixi held her little one tightly. Her thoughts flowed like a tide, and she lovingly rubbed her cheek over her head for a while before letting him go.
“Mommy, are you alright? I was so worried!”
Ji Weixi’s heart cooled immediately at that, and she gently poked at the little one’s fragile cheeks. “You have the face to mention that? Your Mommy was in the hospital and you didn’t even come to visit! What a waste it was raising you!”
The little one looked baffled from the prodding. “No way! I wanted to see you, but Daddy didn’t let me! He said I would bother you getting me a sister!”
Ji Weixi clenched her fist and gritted her teeth.
That damned Li Shaoling actually dared to separate them!
He needed a beating!
With mother and son immediately exposing Li Shaoling, Li Wanyun was holding herself and wiping away her tears as she laughed herself silly. “My poor nephew.”
Jiang Cong wiped his nose.
Why did he feel that his boss deserved that?
