Chapter 13: Help, A Thug!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The temperature in the room dropped to sub-zero levels.

There was deadly silence.

One second passed.

And then another.

Suddenly he turned, striding away while throwing her a single word.

“Come.”

Short, simple, and certainly allowing no say in the matter.

Ji Weixi followed him into his office, feeling like a lamb entering a wolf’s den.

“I’m sorry, President Li. It wasn’t on purpose,” Ji Weixi mumbled as if aggrieved.

Li Shaoling leveled a calm gaze at her. “Could your performance go any better?”

What immaculate acting!

“Well…” Exposed, Ji Weixi shrugged helplessly. “As you could probably tell, I did that on purpose.”

After all, who was the one putting on a monkey show?

And charging the monkey for it!

Of all the women he had met, she was definitely the first who would provoke him head-on.

“What are you going to do about this?

Leaning back into his chair, his deep-reaching gaze missed not a single expression on her face.

“With money?”

“Heh.” Li Shaoling snorted. “You can’t afford it.”

Oh my, what contempt.

Nonetheless, Ji Weixi replied calmly, “I presume your trousers were made by Alice, the maestra from Italy? If I’m not mistaken, she has announced her retirement a month ago, and it would incidentally have taken a month for both design and tailoring. But although your trousers are now out of production, it is worth two hundred thousand at best—now, since I have the money to pay you, why not buy a new one instead of getting a second-hand?”

She was confident and composed. Sunlight shone over her face while her entire form exuded the charisma of mature women.

And she had actually said that his trousers were second-hand!

Li Shaoling promptly rose and came at her, forcing her to a corner with nowhere to run.

He caught her chin; his voice was ice-cold. “You’re a feisty one.”

“Is that so? You flatter me.” Ji Weixi blinked but showed no fear.

Li Shaoling was actually left dumbstruck then.

How humiliating!

His chest was ablaze as the woman’s faint fragrance prompted an impulse in him to claim her.

Damned woman! Enticing him when she already has a child?

On the other hand, it was the first time Ji Weixi was so close to a man.

He literally screamed of danger and was bursting with hormones, not to mention his captivating face that would enthrall even other men.

He had also cornered her in a Kabedon—with his pants very much wet.

Her heart was thumping wildly.

It was a steamy sight: a company president who looked as if he had wet his pants, cornering a young girl in the prime of her youth.

Not the easiest of scenes to describe.

Suddenly, Li Shaoling freed her, his bony fingers deftly undoing his own belt.

“You—you…” Ji Weixi was left shocked and stammering. “What are you doing!”

He’s going to ravish a maiden in broad daylight! Help!

“Li Shaoling, keep your pants on!” Ji Weixi put her hands over her eyes, afraid of even getting a glimpse.

But why was she feeling that faint sense of anticipation? Of a certain sort of workplace… excitement.

Still, that was when the pair of trousers landed perfectly over her head.

It was still warm too…

“Clean it,” Li Shaoling said in a neutral voice.

Ji Weixi was left dumbfounded. So, he had actually taken off his pants not to violate her, but to have her clean it?

Was that it?

“What? Did you want me so badly?” Li Shaoling teased.

His vocal range, at once silky and stimulating, was the type which left countless girls ovulating on the spot.

Ji Weixi blushed meekly.

“You and your fantasies! Who would want you!”

And was he not pants-free at the moment?

Wow. The man was an exhibitionist.

With the trousers still over her head, Ji Weixi fumbled for the doorknob and tried to escape even before the door was open.

Unsurprisingly, her head ran firmly into the door with a dull thud.

“Ouch—”

In pain, Ji Weixi pulled the trousers off her head and frustratedly stomped on it several times before storming off.

Who would wash it for him! Keep dreaming on!

Seconds later.

Ji Weixi picked up the trousers before leaving again.

Li Shaoling watched as she left, a smile slowly forming over his lips.

‘They are never honest, are they? What an adorable woman.

‘Really, she would be even more perfect…

‘If she did not have a child.’

His face darkened once more at the thought.
