Mister Li, the Heart Bandit

Panda Novel

Ji Weixi felt as if her heart was jolted directly as she felt the coolness over her lips.

There were so many people around! Didn’t he know self-control!?

Flushed, she threw her fists at him and scolded him. “Li Shaoling! Can you not do that?!”

Li Shaoling lifted a brow. “Do what?”

“Fine!” Ji Weixi turned her head in annoyance. The stinking man knew what she was saying, but he was just playing dumb.

She turned, her eyes finding another pair of cool eyes.

Jiang Yigu was leaning on the balcony with a book in hand, but his eyes were leveled at them.

His gray glasses frame was reflecting the sunlight which made him looked more forbidding. His gaze was also so distant that anyone would believe that he was thin on his human side and misanthropic.

Ji Weixi remembered his sleazy appearance when they first met, and how he was in need of a beating.

Why did he look like a completely different person now?

Or maybe, Li Shaoling didn’t surround himself with normal humans.

As she withdrew her gaze, Li Shaoling spoke before she could ask him about it. “He’s crazy.”

Ji Weixi was speechless by his answer.

“…You said that about your brother last time. Li Shaoling, are you saying that anyone not normal in your world is crazy?”

“Yup.”

“You’re crazy too, then.” Ji Weixi said flatly.

Li Shaoling was unruffled, but inched closer instead. “So are you.”

“You!”

Ji Weixi was about burst out when he smiled wickedly. “That’s why we’re made for each other.”Read more chapter at vipnovel

“…”

She was completely caught in his trick.

Meanwhile, after Tian Miaomiao was being chased out by Li Wanyun and being spurned, she could neither sit nor stand. She felt like a hindrance, but just when she was unsure what she was supposed to be doing, she suddenly looked up and met Jiang Yigu’s gaze.

She quickly turned away when the little one yelled from inside his bedroom. “Miaomiao, come play with me!”

“Coming!” Tian Miaomiao answered loudly and ran inside, plonking herself down on the bed, pulling the little one into her arms and giving him a kiss. “Jiajia, you’re really my lucky star!”

The little one wiped his face in disdain. “Miaomiao, take care of your image!”

Tian Miaomiao promptly straightened in thought. “Jiajia, you should call me Aunt Miaomiao from now on.”

“Why?” The little one asked, blinking. “But you were the one who told me to call you Miaomiao, not Aunt Miaomiao!”

Tian Miaomiao sneaked a glance at Jiang Yigu reading his book outside the door and mumbled quietly. “Just don’t call me Miaomiao from now on. Call me ‘aunt’!”

After Jiang Yigu hurt her that night, Tian Miaomiao swore to herself to stay away from such men.

Still, she was curious now: who was older, herself or Jiang Yigu?

But that wasn’t important!

The reason she wanted the little one to call her Aunt Miaomiao was because she would sound much older, and then she would go fooling around with fresh meat and university students! She wanted Jiang Yigu to see that someone would want her, no matter how old she was!

“Fine.” The little one sighed helplessly. “Oh, women. Always so troublesome.”

“Who’s troublesome, brat!” Tian Miaomiao rolled up her sleeves and put on a fierce face to scare the little one.

Pretending to be frightened, the little one hid away while Tian Miaomiao lunged at him and tickled him. The boy tossed around, laughing.

Jiang Yigu heard the noisy laughter from the balcony. He looked up, frowning in irritation but was soon stunned.

Tian Miaomiao was fooling around with the little one. Although she was wearing the simples of T-shirts and short pants, her short hair had now grown past her ears and a little yellow. At the moment, her masculine facial features were smiling sunny and dazzlingly, innocent yet mesmerizing.

Warm light was washing over her, as if all that was rotten would appear beautiful when it shone on her.

Nonetheless, Jiang Yigu managed to withdraw his gaze in time and started reading again.

But he could not seem the read the text in his book anymore.

Jiang Cong returned cheerfully with the fish when Li Wanyun had finished putting up the last dish on the table. He really knew how to pick his timing.

Li Wanyun glared at him. “Did you get the fish from the Pacific?”

Still, she immediately took the fish to the kitchen and made soup for everyone.

It was a scrumptious meal: six dishes and one soup, not to mention that Li Wanyun was a good cook.

Ji Weixi ate a lot until her stomach was stuffed, but Li Shaoling continued bringing food to her plate.

On the other hand, if someone she hated wasn’t around, Tian Miaomiao would absolutely be wolfing food down without regard for her image.

But she had to prove that she was a holy maiden who could live through any setback.

She only ate small mouthfuls very elegantly.

Jiang Cong looked as if he had seen a ghost. “Did you have a stroke?”

Tian Miaomiao glared at him, only for Jiang Cong to put down his chopsticks and start gossiping instead. “I heard you have your eye on an intern at the company? Oh, do tell.”

“Mind your own business!”

“Look at you,” Jiang Cong clicked his tongue. “I’m helping you out of kindness and you’re acting like that. I’m telling you, I know everyone in the company—I might even know that intern of yours! I could help you hook up.”

Li Shaoling, who was carefully deboning a fish for Ji Weixi coolly added. “A male matchmaker?”

“Pfft.” Tian Miaomiao and Ji Weixi looked at each other and smiled.

Clearing her throat, Tian Miaomiao pointedly slid a glance at Jiang Yigu as she bragged to Jiang Cong. “That intern I found is so good-looking! Tall, more handsome than male stars and most importantly, he’s so gentle! He helped me up when I fell down the other day, and even helped me put on medicine…”

The little one wiped his oily mouth. “Aunt Miaomiao, that man probably knows that you are faking. That’s why he’s so nice to you.”

Tian Miaomiao was speechless, while Jiang Cong nodded in agreement. “You’re right!”

Tian Miaomiao immediately stood up indignantly. “I don’t care; I’m going home!”

She closed the door behind her with a loud bang.

Soon, Jiang Yigu stood up as well. “I’m full. I’ll be going.” He said flatly.

“Eh?” Ji Weixi stared as the two left one after another, knowing that something wasn’t quite right even if she can’t put her finger on it.

Later, she became sleepy after she was finished eating.

Li Wanyun had taken the little one to go shopping for ice cream.

Shrinking into the blanket, Ji Weixi closed her heavy eyelids when she felt someone coming in from behind.

Her bed sank lower, and a pair of arms wrapped around her waist.

Ji Weixi turned around and looked up with much difficulty. “Aren’t you going to work?”

“I’m staying with you.”

It was almost autumn: the weather was a little cooler and not as hot as summer.

Ji Weixi’s bedroom was in the shade, which was colder than the other bedroom at the sunny side. Coupled with the cold she was feeling, she shrank deeper into Li Shaoling’s arms.
