Chapter 129: But I Love You

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The woman flushed indignantly. “Your parents are dead! Your face looks just like a manwhore’s… you must have some illicit affair with that woman!”

Li Shaoling was smiling instead of angered, however. “Congratulations to you on meeting a handsome man then, but you’re so ugly I want to throw up. Still, your bitch eyes work at least.”

The woman felt as if she was punching cotton—her rage was not vented and she blew her top, but she quickly hurried off with her trolley since she really could not really hate Li Shaoling.

Meanwhile, Ji Weixi was looking at Li Shaoling worshipfully.

Li Shaoling’s cold eyes swept up to her. “Who else bullied you?”

Ji Weixi impatiently pointed at the old man sitting on the ground and said with much grief, “He touched me.”

Li Shaoling’s eyes went crimson instantly. A freezing, evil aura burst away from him without control—just like a caged beast that was about to break free from its restraints, viciously chomping through the grills.

He could not even bear to touch his on woman, only to let that geezer take advantage.

Murder!

The geezer had just been grinning like a vile person getting his way, but quickly climbed up to run away when he saw Li Shaoling coming closer by ever step, looking just like a living king of the underworld.

Li Shaoling quickly caught the old man’s collar and smashed his fist viciously and precisely into his face.

The old man’s nose was bleeding immediately, and Li Shaoling started to strangle him to keep him from moving while continuing to rain punches.

Each fist hammered down viciously and drew blood, while Li Shaoling’s bloodthirsty eyes brimmed with killing intent.

Everyone stared blankly but was too afraid to stop him, because Li Shaoling was a frightening sight.

Nonetheless, Ji Weixi walked up to him and tried. “Li Shaoling… stop.”

Someone would die if he kept at it, and that would be two losses with one act.

Li Shaoling pretended that he did not hear. He was very scary when he showed no restraint, just like a robot without a switch.

When the old man was beaten to an inch from death, Li Shaoling finally let go. Ji Weixi breathed a sigh of relief right then…

But it was not over.

Li Shaoling lifted his leg and kicked down violently at his groin.

“Ah!” The old man’s eyes bulged, and he rolled around the floor, clutching his groin and screaming miserably, tears and boogers flowing out at once in agony.

LI Shaoling waved his one hand which was dripping with blood, took Ji Weixi’s hand with the other before striding away.

The crowd who was watching the show made way by reflex.

Li Shaoling suddenly stopped, however, and throw a cold look at a security guard. “Call the police.”

Perhaps hearing his tone command permitted no refusal, the security guard quickly nodded and dialed the number. “Hello? Good day! I have something to report!”

The police arrived at the scene soon enough.

Several disgruntled people were staring at Ji Weixi and Li Shaoling with schadenfreude looks.

“Eh? Boss, this geezer again? Wasn’t he just released?”

“This old thug? He’s a repeat offender.”

The two policemen’s words left the crowd gaping—they did not expect that the old man who looked like a nice guy was a repeat offender.

After the old man was taken away, a male manager arrived after hearing the commotion, looking all high and mighty as he asked the shop attendant, “What’s going on?!”

The shop attendant quickly burst into tears and complained to the manager after being scolded by Li Shaoling, telling her own version of the incident while leaving out certain details.

The manager’s eyes bulged and he screamed on top of his lungs, “Who is it!? Who dared to bully my employee, come out!”

“That’s me.”

The manager turned towards the voice and promptly yelled, “Don’t you know that we are the largest chain of supermarkets!? How dare…”

Even as he yelled away, the manager’s eyes widened at Li Shaoling’s dark, terrifying face and gasped in shocked. He quickly bowed, his face turning white while his lips shuddered.

“P-P-P… President Li!” He said, trembling, and quickly went up to him, all smiles as he tried to get in his good graces. “W-w-what is the purpose of your visit?”

Li Shaoling glared coldly at the shop attendant behind the manager. “That one. She disgusts me.”

The manager quickly turned and roared at her. “Get lost! Didn’t you hear that you disgust President Li!?”

The woman was utterly dumbfounded, never expecting that she had provoked such a VIP.

“Hehe, President Li, do you need anything else?”

“I do.”

“Do tell, President Li.”

Li Shaoling threw him a look of contempt. “Get lost!”

“…Okay!”

***

Ji Weixi watched as Li Shaoling acted all high and mighty, as if only he mattered in the whole world.

She felt that it was awesome being the boss’s lady just then.

As they left the supermarket, Ji Weixi quickly caught him when she saw the blood on his hands. “Don’t move! Wait for me here, I’ll get you some medicine.”

Ji Weixi went to the pharmacy to buy gauze and iodine. When she returned with a bag in hand, she found Li Shaoling right where he had been—he had not moved a single inch, and looked just like a statue.

She could not hold back a giggle then. He was so obedient!

Returning inside the car, Ji Weixi held his bleeding hand but Li Shaoling pulled back. “Don’t touch it. You’ll dirty yourself.”

“Your hand is hurt, and I’m afraid his blood would dirty yours.” Ji Weixi pulled his hand, dabbing on it with iodine first.

He had punched with so much force that the skin over his knuckle joints broke.

Ji Weixi thought that since plaster over it would not stick, she should just use gauze dressing.

Rolling a round of gauze over Li Shaoling’s hand, she then tied it up with a lovely butterfly knot.

She looked pleased with her result, and looked up to find Li Shaoling staring at her with brightened eyes.

Ji Weixi was feeling a little embarrassed and averted her eyes, but he suddenly hugged her.

“Are you afraid?”

“Huh? Afraid of what?”

“Just now.”

Just now… when he was punching away at the geezer?

It was definitely scary, but she wasn’t the one punched.

Ji Weixi shook her head. “I’m not afraid.”

Li Shaoling released her, his eyes painted with her beautiful face as he said quietly, “I’ll hurt anyone in his world except you.”

Ji Weixi’s eyebrows twitch as she looked at him cautiously.

“When you’re with me, I don’t need anyone else.”

“Do… do you really believe that I’m that important?” She asked dumbly.

Li Shaoling kept silent and still as he watched her, and pronounced every word ever so clearly, “You are my wife, my love and my life. Only you would never be replaced.”

Like a stone crashing down an abyss with waves of echoes, countless voices spoke to Ji Weixi beside her ear:

Li Shaoling is your lover.

Your love.

Yours.

A thundering wave stirred in her heart, churning as the heart she sealed in ice floated on the surface.

No one had been that serious about her. Not ever.

But… four years ago…

Ji Weixi suddenly lowered her head sadly then.

Since the very first moment she met him until now, she could not control herself.

She had to sweet-talk him every time in all sorts of curious circumstances, even mind him unwittingly.

What… what was with all that?

Her eyes watered.

The more loving he was, the more she felt hurt… and guilty…

Li Shaoling embraced her tightly, cooing repeatedly, “It’s okay… it’s okay…”

She was his woman. She did not have to fear him.

Even so, Ji Weixi felt upset within, as if everything was being turned upside down. “I’ll hate you for what you did to me four years ago.”

“Okay. Hate away.” He could not stop her from hating him after all.

Why did he not react at all? Shouldn’t he be disallowing her to hate her, with his usual behavior?

Ji Weixi shoved him away pettily. “Then get away from my sight. Don’t let me see you ever again!”

Li Shaoling’s voice turned cold immediately. “No!”

“Li Shaoling,” she retorted indignantly, “I’ll annoy you if you keep being so overbearing!”

His eyes darkened. “But I love you.”
