Chapter 130: Chapter 130 - I Love You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Weixi pressed her hand firmly over her thumping heart, her eyes widening as she looked at him in disbelief. “D-do you know what you’re saying?”

He actually told her he loved her.

She was at once happy and sad.

“I do.” Li Shaoling replied, and repeated, “I love you.”

“...”

Ji Weixi could feel the blood all over her body flowing quicker, her heart beating so furiously that it could leap out of her throat in its uncontrollable shudder.

His words, like waves of tides, were unstoppable and completely drowned her.

His confession of love was clearly as plain was water and sorely lacked pomp or romance, but she was still touched.

Ji Weixi was not brave enough to meet his sentimental gaze, and she turned away.

“D-don’t...” She stuttered.

What would you have me do?” Li Shaoling asked, lifting her chin and putting his arm around her waist, his gaze at once earnest and passionate. “I love you means I love you. I want to marry you means I want to marry you—that can’t be changed or controlled.”

Ji Weixi could not quite understand. “You love me? How long did we know each other?”

Weren’t things moving a little too fast?

Li Shaoling’s eyes darkened. “Would you believe me if I tell you that I started loving you four years ago?”

She brought him delight he never experienced before when they first met. Even if she was a little wild cat with its teeth and claws bared and always annoyed her to death, he liked that when all was said and done.

In this world, no matter how feelings were hidden, a genuine heart could never really fade.

And he would never hide his feelings.

He loved her, and that wouldn’t change no matter what happened four years ago.

Ji Weixi really wanted to feign doubt and laugh about how that would be possible, but his eyes told her that he was not lying.

This time, Ji Weixi is completely dumbfounded.

She did not know him at all four years ago!

And why did she suddenly feel that there were hidden circumstances all those years ago?

Her thoughts were completely in a mess.

Li Shaoling stared at her conflicted and struggling expression and assumed that she doubted him, and was reluctant to accept his confession.

“Should I gouge my heart out for you to see?” He suddenly drew a knife from out of nowhere.

JI Weixi’s face turned pale white in fright and quickly wrapped her arms around him. “Stop!”

He might really do that.

It seems that she still worries about him.

Li Shaoling smiled. “You care about me.”

“Of course,” Ji Weixi snatched the knife from his hand and threw it out of the car window. “Our son would be fatherless if you’re dead.”

Li Shaoling’s smile appeared as soon as it appeared, while the light in her eyes went out. “So, I’m not important to you.”

Their son was all she thought about.

Ji Weixi opened her mouth, wanting badly to retort—but all words were promptly caught in her throat, and she became mute.

The car became quiet. Ji Weixi tried to explain, but the man’s side profile had turned cold and forbidding, causing her to throw away that thought many times...

Was he angry?

Li Shaoling promptly drove to Jiang Cong’s place to fetch the little one.

Both the little one and Jiang Cong were surprised. “I thought you were coming at night?”

It didn’t look like anything happened between them either. Could it be... a failure?

Li Shaoling kept glowering and said nothing, while Ji Weixi smiled awkwardly.

“Boss, sister-in-law, safe journeys!” Jiang Cong smiled especially dazzlingly.

Finally, the little demon king was gone.

In the car, the little one asked, “Mommy, where did you go with Daddy? Why did you come to take me so early?”

There was definitely something fishy.

“Nothing, we just went for a stroll.” Ji Weixi laughed dryly. “We missed you, so we came to fetch you.”

The little one did not believe it, and his eyes cleverly turned. “Mommy! Could it be that Daddy—”

Even before the word ‘can’t’ came out of his mouth, Ji Weixi had put her hand over his mouth.

Ji Weixi glared at him fiercely and mouthed at him to stop him from speaking, and so the little one could only shut up.

‘Bad Daddy. He can’t do it, but won’t let anyone say it either.’

It’s alright to be sick anyway. Men of indomitable spirit must be brave to admit failure.

Back home, Ji Weixi was taking off her shoes near the door when Tian Miaomiao called.

“Hello, Miaomiao? What happened?”

“Did you see the news, Xixi?”

“What news?”

“Oh, you... I’ll keep it short: Jian Jie had just posted on Weibo—she admitted that she was the culprit who hospitalized Lin Xiaoman!”

Ji Weixi could not help but laugh. “Isn’t that a good thing?”

Why was she being so dramatic?

Even so, she had a bad feeling about it.

“Most importantly,” Tian Miaomiao continually furiously, “She said that you told her to do that! Screw me, she even said that she resigned from CBS because you wanted her to hide so that no one would know, and you even paid her fifty million to keep her quiet! Oh my god, what the fuck, I’m dying here! How could someone so shameless exist?”

Tian Miaomiao ran her mouth like a gatling gun. “You don’t even know each other, so why would she frame you? I already searched through her Weibo—I know what she looks like now! Don’t let me see her, or I’ll beat her up each time I do!”

Ji Weixi frowned but did not move otherwise. “It must be Qiao Ai who forced her into it!”

“Qiao Ai... that bitch! I’ll go split her head at work tomorrow!”

“Miaomiao, you mustn’t provoke her whatever happens.” Ji Weixi calmly said.

“Why? She is bullying you to the bone, are you really going to wait until she put every blame on you? I can’t stand it!”

“You’ll be falling to her trick if you provoke her impulsively. It’s her hope that we would be flustered and panicking...” Ji Weixi paused, suddenly looking down to find Li Shaoling down on one knee and undoing her shoes.

Wasn’t he angry? Why was he still...

Li Shaoling then helped her change into a pair of pink slippers.

“Xixi?” Tian Miaomiao called out from the other end.

Ji Weixi cleared her throat and simply went to sit on the sofa as if nothing happened. “You must contain yourself, Miaomiao,” she continued, “Definitely don’t provoke anyone. Just pretend you don’t know anything.”

“Okay, fine. I’ll keep it together. What should we do next?”

Ji Weixi sighed. “Find Jian Jie as soon as possible, of course. She’s the only witness here.”

“But no one knows where she has gone! How do we find here!?”

“I’ll think of some other way. I’m hanging up.”

After hanging up, Ji Weixi grimaced.

It seemed that Qiao Ai was really hostile towards her.

From how things are, she must upstage her so that she would admit defeat.

Still... where could Jian Jie be?

Even as she racked her brains, someone spoke quietly beside her. “She’s in Ocean Town.”

Stunned, Ji Weixi turned to look at him. “How did you know?”

Li Shaoling glanced at the chat history on his mobile phone, showing a conversation he had with someone else in his QQ app.

[Li Shaoling: Give me the address.]

[Plump Butterfly: Don’t be like that, Ling Ling. I’ll give it to you on a date.]

[Li Shaoling: Cut the crap.]

[Plump Butterfly: I miss you. Let me see your face, boo-hoo.]

[Li Shaoling: Three]

[Li Shaoling: Two]
