Mister Li, the Heart Bandit

Ji Weixi took a bath before she went to bed, making sure that the bathroom door was tightly shut in fear of Li Shaoling invading.

But why did she feel mysteriously expectant of him doing something to her?

When she came out, Li Shaoling was arranging a room for Ji Jiayu.

That was the first time she saw him working on someone else’s behalf. Beneath the light, the side of his face seemed to have added mildness.

Suddenly he paused and turned, locking gazes with her.

JI Weixi shifted her gaze, feigned a cough and entered.

“Mommy~ hug!” The little one sprung up like a carp, reaching out with his little arms.

His small grapelike eyes were dark and sparkling, shining vibrantly.

Ji Weixi’s heart grew soft as if soaked in a pool of springtime water, and gathered the tot into her arms. “Do you want to sleep with Mommy tonight? I’ll give you a big hug.”

No way she was letting her boy sleep alone in a room.

The little one was thrilled at once. “Okay! Then Daddy will sleep with me too!”

Ji Weixi quickly slid a glance to the man. “He’s not used to sleeping here yet—he’ll sleep by himself.”

“Oh…” The little one pouted unhappily.

Nonetheless, Li Shaoling came to them and said flatly, “You’ll sleep alone. Your Mommy and I hadn’t meet for four years—she misses me.”

Ji Weixi blushed and kicked him. “Who would miss you!?”

Li Shaoling evaded it agilely, his face clearly saying ‘you-do-miss-me-do-not-deny-it’.

The tot watched the exchange between his parents. His little eyes swiveled cleverly for a moment, and he abruptly burst into tears.

“Boo-hoo…. I want to sleep with Daddy and Mommy!”

Ji Weixi’s face grew cold then. “Ji Jiayu, stop that right now! No crying!”

However, the little one already knew that Ji Weixi would yell his full name when she was angry. Instead, he cried louder, flailing his arms and stomping the floor with his feet. “I don’t care, I don’t care… Baby wants to sleep with Mommy and Daddy!”

His sobbing certainly left Li Shaoling with a headache.

Just as he had expected, sons were annoying.

On the other hand, little princesses were utterly adorable: putting on braids and skirts, prettying up every single day.

“Fine, just stop it!” Ji Weixi slapped the tot on the butt. “We’ll sleep with you!”

“Oh yeah! Sleep with Mommy and Daddy!” The little one ceased his crying at once; his acting skills were immaculate.

Ji Weixi could not help but smile. “Oh, you.”

Meanwhile, Li Shaoling’s face darkened.

It took great lengths for him to stay in Ji Weixi’s house, only to run into an undesired third-party during bedtime.

How vexing.

***

The three of them lay on the bed together. The little one was rolling around between them with a smile that never faded.

“Hmm… Daddy~” He rolled into Li Shaoling’s arms and rubbed against him.

Then, he rolled away and into Ji Weixi’s bosom. “Hehe, Mommy~”

He was extremely excited—it was the first time he got to sleep with both his father and mother.

Ji Weixi’s lips curled into a smile, while Li Shaoling stared at the delicate affection showing on her face and started to grow irritated inwardly.

He reached out to turn the lights off. “Sleep.”

“Okay…” The little one pouted, and snuggled up to Ji Weixi, rubbing against her.

‘Hmmm… Mommy’s body is not as warm as Daddy’s.’

He determinedly dove to Li Shaoling, beaming widely.

Soon, his eyelids were drooping and he fell asleep.

Ji Weixi had not been sleepy at all.

There were no curtains in the room. Crystalline moonlight flowed within, reflecting the man’s stunning face and its noble coolness.

He was looking at her without flinching. His eyes dazzled like the milky way, leaving one mesmerized within from a single glance.

Her heart was thumping for no reason at all, although she promptly closed her eyes and feigned calmness.

What should she do? Ji Weixi could not sleep at the thought that he was looking at her.

She did not even move an inch. Then, after unknown time had passed, Ji Weixi finally fell asleep despite her sore body.
