Mister Li, the Heart Bandit

Tian Miamiao and the little one had just finished their lunch when they saw the Li Shaoling and Ji Weixi enter hand in hand, their eyes hence bulging.

Wow, were they in a relationship now?

Ji Weixi ordered a plate of minced pork rice, whereas Li Shaoling gave the waiter a look before saying, “I’ll have the same.”

However, Ji Weixi’s order arrived first, and as she ate, she suddenly felt three pairs of eyes staring at herself.

Li Shaoling’s gaze was especially scorching, leaving her cheeks feeling hot.

Even now, her heartbeats quickened when she remembered his crazed declaration of control over her.

And as Li Shaoling rested his chin on one hand and kept watching her, he found her blushing red cheeks adorable.

He reached out and pulled a few loose strands of her hair behind her ear.

Anyone could drown in the tenderness of his eyes.

Tian Miaomiao and the little one looked at each other, speechless as they found themselves a rather intruding third wheel.

After lunch, Ji Weixi held hands with Li Shaoling again and walked ahead, with Tian Miaomiao and the little one following behind.

It was a sight that left Tian Miaomiao pained inside.

She even suspected that the pair ahead were lovebirds, while she was nothing but a mother coaxing a child.

As his large palm enveloped her small hand, Li Shaoling frowned. “Why’s your hand so cold?”

Was it made of ice?

“I’m having the chills.” Ji Weixi grinned.

Li Shaoling promptly arched his back and picked her up.

She quickly looked around and squealed, “What are you doing? Let me down!”

“You won’t be cold like his.” He smiled.

Ji Weixi was at once embarrassed and annoyed.

Could he stop behaving like this? Really!

Li Shaoling had carried her all the way to the main entrance when Ji Weixi started to struggle and he finally let her down.

There was no way she would let others see her being held so intimately by the famous President Li, to save herself from unsavory rumors.

Either way, she would try to keep her distance from Li Shaoling as much as she could in the company.

As she led the little one and Tian Miaomiao upstairs, she smelled the faint sweet scent of flowers even before they reached the office.

She froze when she found in shock that her office was covered in a pink sea of flowers.

Her eyes were certainly left dazzled. There was no telling how many roses there were, all of which were arranged so closely that there was no place to walk since each pink petal was ever small and charming.

Both Tian Miaomiao and the little one exclaimed in surprise as well.

“Like it?”

Li Shaoling suddenly appeared, keeping a hand in his pocket as he leaned on the doorway and watching her with a smile.

Ji Weixi was in disbelief. “You got someone to buy all these?”

“How else would I get them?” Li Shaoling lifted a brow.

No wonder he was poking around on his phone during lunch. He must have been instructing some subordinates to buy these roses.

Still, there were so many… could he have bought every pink rose out of a florist shop?

“Why don’t you buy red roses?” she could not help but ask.

“Why should I buy red roses?” Li Shaoling’s smiled vanished immediately, and his face turned cold.

He’s not going to give red roses after Mo Nanfeng did so!

No way would he send flowers the same color!

Nonetheless, Ji Weixi was beaming.

She felt as if her heart was full of these pink roses too, and it was the first time anyone gave her so many flowers.

She was very happy.

Biting her lip, she then asked with a hopeful look, “Li Shaoling, do you know what pink flowers mean?”

In a corner, Tian Miaomiao was beside herself with anxiety.

Hurry up, say it!

Pink roses represented doting, one’s first love.

However.

Li Shaoling considered it for second, but soon frowned and retorted, “How should I know? I’m not a florist.”

Ungrateful woman. He sent her so many flowers, and yet she asked him what the flowers meant.

How should he know?! She’s being ridiculous!

Everyone else was left speechless.

Tian Miaomiao did not laugh but chuckled very quietly.

“Really, single by nature.”
