Chapter 20: Are You A Demon?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Li Shaoling reached her, he saw that her back was lightly arched forward as she held herself and shivered.

A pair of nude-colored five-inch heels were dumped carelessly beside her.

She was 1.7 meters tall and her body proportions standard, having long legs and pronounced hips.

Even if her shoulders were narrow, there was perseverance and reluctance to yield to the world.

He felt a mysterious sadness then.

She probably could not get home with the downpour outside.

Li Shaoling narrowed his eyes.

Damned woman.

Well, he could afford to be a little charitable!

However, before he could move, Ji Weixi’s mobile phone rang.

“Hello? Mm-hmm, I don’t have an umbrella with me. Please wait for a while.”

“Baby, how could I have you fetch me? Just wait for me. Love you.”

Li Shaoling was left speechless.

‘Baby?’

And…’love you’?

Who was she talking to ever so naturally? Could it be her child’s father?

Li Shaoling’s eyes were covered in coldness instantly while a wrathful flame in his chest churned wildly.

On the other hand, Ji Weixi did not realize that someone was beside her getting irritated, even blowing a kiss before she hung up.

The kiss was quite loud too.

Why was it so cold all of a sudden?

Ji Weixi felt chills over her spine.

She turned.

Boom!!!

A clap of thunder exploded overhead while the pouring rain roared. As a bolt of lightning flashed through the alternating luminosity, Li Shaoling’s face was half-dark and half-bright in the reflection, just like a demon from the underworld.

His entire form was overflowing with gloom, as if he would become a vicious human-eating beast that would devour her clean in the very next moment.

It was only too frequently mentioned that he was the most frightening when angered. Why would she still give him such a slap in the face?

“Li Shaoling, are you a demon?”

Ji Weixi rolled her eyes at him and picked up her shoes, before rushing into the downpour in her bare feet.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cong, who had just left the toilet, found Li Shaoling in his homicidal state.

Again? What is going on…

He was gulping in fear, but still approached Li Shaoling with a sheepish smile.

“What do you want for dinner, Boss?”

Li Shaoling glanced sideways. “Mr and Mrs Smith¹,” he said softly.

Jiang Cong was left speechless.

Ji Weixi was completely drenched when she reached the carpark.

Every inch of her was wet. Her hair was also stuck to her face and her soaked clothes accentuating her striking form.

“Mommy, you’ll get a cold.” The little one felt a pang of sadness, and hurriedly pulled her into the car.

On the other hand, Tian Miaomiao was smiling very indecently. “Why were you gone so long? Ran into President Li?”

“Why would I?”

Ji Weixi was irritated at the mention of his name, and before anyone could argue, she floored the pedal to leave CBS Tower.

Back home, the tot diligently prepared a bath of warm water for Ji Weixi. “Mommy, hurry up and take your bath.”

“Thanks, baby.” Ji Weixi picked him up and gave him a peck on his cheek.

Her son was so perfect. He was actually doting on his mother at his tender age.

It was not the little handsome’s fault to learn that from his beautiful young mom who was capable in both the workplace and kitchen.

‘It feels so good…’ Ji Weixi thought as her entire body relaxed in the bathtub.

She closed her eyes gently. Her narrow, long, and tight eyelashes threw a shadow over her eyes as her breaths slowly evened out.

Half an hour later…

The heaven-splitting ring of her mobile phone shattered the serenity.

Ji Weixi jerked in reflex in the bathtub with her heart thumping wildly.

Who could it be!

Outside, the tot gave her a shout.

“Mommy, call for you.”

“Take it for me, baby.”

“Hello?”

Li Shaoling furrowed his brow right then.

It was not the clear, sweet voice he was expecting.

Instead, it was the young and tender reply from a child.

Was that the son Ji Weixi had with another man?
