Mister Li, The Heart Bandit Chapter 157 - Fighting Monsters on Apollo

Chapter 157: Fighting Monsters on Apollo

Ji Weixi was sneering at herself inwardly.

She had really a.s.sumed that he loved her when she saw Li Shaoling kneeling and did not hesitate to stab himself, just to save her.

That was, until the call reminded her that her feelings were one-sided and that she was too into it.

Li Shaoling was being nice to her because she had a son with him.

Ji Weixi became more upset the more she thought about it, and even felt repulsed by hugging him.

She especially found it ironic to have the necklace he gave her and the bangle pa.s.sed down to daughter-in-laws of the Li family.

Meanwhile, Lian Yuming gave both of them a ride home, even throwing Ji Weixi a playful wink before leaving. “Come watch me when I’m having a race, sister-in-law!”

“Okay.” Ji Weixi forced herself to smile.

Sister-in-law…

Heh. She found that t.i.tle especially stinging now.

At the same time, Li Shaoling had called up Jiang Cong, telling him to send the little one home before heading to the airport to get the woman, and bring her to their home too.

Ji Weixi thought she would explode when she heard that.

He’s actually bringing his ex to her house? Was he not afraid of his harem catching fire?

Didn’t he know that things could get very red-eyed between love rivals!?

Heh. So, every loving word he told her was fake.

She would rather believe that there are ghosts than this man’s bleeding mouth!

The little one immediately leapt towards Ji Weixi when he reached home.

“Mommy!” He hugged her as she crouched, rubbing his little head on her with red eyes and a pout. “Bad Mommy! You told me that you were coming… why didn’t you come?! Hmph!”

Ji Weixi returned his hug to dispel her coldness inside and smiled. “I suddenly had something to do. Sorry, I couldn’t tell you in time. I apologize.”

The little one sniffled. “You don’t have to apologize, Mommy. I’m happy as long as you’re not hurt. I was so worried!”

Li Shaoling glowered as the little one rubbed his head over Ji Weixi’s chest, and came over to carry him away and coldly warned, “You’re a man. Do you understand the proper social distance between men and women?”

“What does that mean?” The little one t.i.tled his head, perplexed.

“Men and women are different, so you have to stay away from Mommy.”

The little one was about to respond when he caught sight of Li Shaoling’s bandaged hand. “Daddy, what happened to you?”

Could it be… when he tried to make him a little sister with Mommy but failed, and Mommy beat him for it?

“I got hurt fighting monsters.” Li Shaoling with a very serious look.

“Wow!” The little one believed him entirely, with his eyes twinkling with stars. “Really, Daddy? So cool! Which planet did the monsters come from?”

“Apollo.” Li Shaoling lied without even blinking.

“Woah! I’ve never heard of it!” The little one clenched his tiny fist and snorted. “Daddy, you’re not enough. You have to bring me along next time! I will defeat them with my spells!”

Li Shaoling nodded. “That’s why you have to stay away from Mommy and don’t touch her before the monster comes.”

“But, why!?” The little one could not understand at all.

“Because when the monster learns that you’re its enemy, you must stay away from Mommy so she won’t get hurt.”

The little one nodded somberly right away. “Got it! I’m now an enemy of monsters, so I can’t be with Mommy. It would definitely make trouble and kidnap Mommy!”

Then, he turned to Ji Weixi with a determined look and clenched fists. “Mommy, be at ease! You’ll be safe! You don’t have to afraid! I’ll keep my distance, so the monsters won’t kidnap you!”

Ji Weixi was speechless.

The craziness…

That was when Jiang Cong knocked on the door and entered.

“Boss, she’s here.”

Ji Weixi’s entire body stiffened as a girly voice called out.

“Shaoling! I’ve missed you so much!”

The woman was wearing a bright red strapped dress over her finely proportioned body. She also sported a sun hat and shades that covered most of her face.

She went to Li Shaoling and tried to hug him, but he took a step back in disdain. “Acting young at that age. Really?”

‘At that age?’

The woman pouted unhappily and plucked off her hat and shades.

Hers was a delicate and well-nourished face, white and tender.

Even if her makeup could not hide the wrinkles beneath her eyes, everything about her gaze was lovely. Still, while her red lips were faintly smiling, her facial features were clearly holding back a strictness.

There was also a resemblance between her and Li Shaoling at the brow and the eyes, although it wouldn’t be immediately obvious.

She looked around, before finding Ji Weixi, who was left unkempt as she did not change her clothes.

Be that as it may, her beauty was unaffected.

The woman hence walked up to her and scanned her from head to toe in astonishment.

She shot Li Shaoling a look. “Shaoling! What did you do to my Xixi?”

My… Xixi?

Ji Weixi was utterly dumbfounded.

Who was this woman?

Li Shaoling came to them. “There was a little something.”

“You are so beautiful!” The woman took her hands, looking as if she was unhappy to meet her after being long apart. “No wonder Shaoling loved you so outrageously! And your skin is so nice… where do you go for treatment? Bring me with you when you’re free!”

Ji Weixi laughed dryly. “You are…”

“I’m Li Wanyun. Shaoling’s aunt!”

“Huh? Aunt?” Ji Weixi drew a blank.

Li Shaoling’s aunt… was that young?

Hold on!

So, she’s the one who’s been calling him?

Not an ex, but an aunt?!

Epic awkwardness! And it was Ji Weixi’s fault alone!

Even if there were tiny wrinkles on Li Wanyun’s face, it was a lot fewer than others of her age.

“Eh? Kiddo, who are you? What’s your name!”

Li Wanyun noticed the little one who was looking up as hard as he could to see her face then, and lowered herself in a crouch to pinch his little cheeks.

Unafraid at all, the little one straightened himself and declared proudly. “I’m Ji Jiayu, I’m four years old! My daddy is Li Shaoling, and my mommy is Ji Weixi!

“Then do you know how I am?”

“Daddy’s aunt.”

“So what should you call me?”

The little one pursed his lips and thought about it. “Grandaunt, right? But I think you look very young, so I would call you sister.”

It was as if his words were covered in honey, and Li Wanyun could not love it more. “Oh, you’re such a sweetheart! Come give me a hug!”

Li Wanyun drew the little one to herself, showering him with hugs and kisses and absolute pampering.

Ji Weixi watched as Li Wanyun played around with her son, the knot in her heart disentangled.

She looked up to find Li Shaoling watching her.

Stubborn as ever, she turned and left, quickly slipping in her own bedroom.

But as she was about to close the door, Li Shaoling caught up and gathered her tightly in his arms.
