âYeah,â Li Shaoling said, his face suddenly turning cold. âDidnât I tell you not to drink? Donât you know that you were in danger if I wasnât there?â
Ji Weixi felt a little guilty at first, but asked when she suddenly remembered something, âDidnât you say you werenât coming to the gathering?â
Why did he come anyway?
âIâm worried about you. Why else would I come?â Li Shaoling pinched her face.
It went a little red.
Hold on! Something was not right... but what was missing?
âWhereâs our son?!â
Did he leave their child alone at home?!
After he had left Jiayu as collateral at the supermarket last time, she knew that this man would do anything.
Indeed, Li Shaoling himself only remembered that he still had a son then.
âHeâs at Jiang Congâs place.â
Ji Weixi quickly breathed a sigh of relief.
She had an urge to pee, but when she pulled off the blanket, she found a patch of fresh red blood on the bedsheet.
She promptly froze where she was and stared at Li Shaoling.
He was taken aback as well and stared at her with the same look.
Both faces were blank.
She counted the days... that wasnât good!
Ji Weixi quickly dashed into the washroom and closed the door.
Li Shaoling, assuming that she was sick, found the washroom locked.
Could she be thinking that he had touched her and was going to end her own life?
He slapped the door forcefully. âOpen up!â
Panicking when no one inside responded, he said, âJi Weixi, Iâll marry you. In fact, letâs marry nowâdonât take it too hard, alright?â
He was not going to live alone if she died.
Nonetheless, Ji Weixi was utterly embarrassed by his words.
Who would marry him!
She cleared his throat and awkwardly said, âUm, Li Shaoling... could you buy that for me?â
âSure! Tell me!â Li Shaoling answered very quickly.
He would buy her a bomb if she wanted, as long as she was alright.
âItâs that thing...â Ji Weixi had a hard time putting it to words, and said in a roundabout way, âWhat every woman needs every month...
Needs every month... What could be so horrific?
Li Shaoling frowned. âWhat is it?â
âIt comes every month... We have to spend money on it every month!â
Li Shaoling frowned even harder. âTelco charges?â
She could have just said it if she needed him to pay up. Why be so roundabout?
On the other hand, Ji Weixi was speechless.
âIs he really not sick?
âWhat sort of a new model of bird brain is that?!â
For the first time, she felt that communication between them was like her playing piano to a cow, a chicken talking to a duck.
Unable to hold back, she yelled without a hint of maidenhood, âSanitary pads, get it?!â
She would repeat it if he didnât!
Li Shaoling did a double-take. So that little woman was having her period.
Then say it directlyâwhy force him to guess? Really, she sorely needed a lesson.
âAlright, Iâll go buy some.â
***
In a certain shop, a shop attendant was bored and flipping through drama shows.
She quickly turned off her phone when the door was opened and went up to meet the customer.
âWelcome!â
Even as she was about to say more, she was instantly lovestruck at the sight of Li Shaolingâs face that could seduce even other men.
âWhat... what do you need?â
âSanitary pads,â Li Shaoling said coldly.
âHuh?â The shop attendant was left stunned, and asked without thinking, âIs... Is that for your own use?â
Li Shaoling looked at her darkly, as if saying âare you sure?â
The attendant quickly realized the truth. Blushing, she bowed apologetically, âSorry, Iâm really sorry... is that for your girlfriend?â
âWife.â
The attendant felt a strange great loss but smiled. âAlright, please come with me.â
They went to a pink zone, with Li Shaoling simply picking a pack.
âWhat is that? 270mm??
âWhatâs absorbent resin? High PE bottom lining, middle layer, and top layer?
âWhat do those words mean?â
Li Shaoling felt as if he was looking at astronomy jargon.
Knowing that he understood nothing, the shop attendant smiled and began to make a sales pitch.
However, Li Shaoling still did not understand a thing after listening on for half a day, and lost all patience. âTwo packs of all the best ones you have.â 1
The attendant nodded. âOkay!â

Ji Weixi waited for a long time and would have simply gone to sleep when Li Shaoling finally returned.
She opened the door by a small slit, and Li Shaoling passed her two bags.
One was sanitary pads of all fashion, the other was sets of clothes.
She felt strangely moved.
Li Shaoling picked a milky cotton dress which was very conservative: seven-inch sleeves, concealing the collarbone while the hem of the skirt did not exceed the feet.
Yeah, thatâs a man of ironclad heterosexuality and perverted possessiveness.
After clothing herself, Ji Weixi left the washroom.
Black ponytail matched with a long skirt of simple design, classical but not losing in grace.
It took Li Shaolingâs breath away.
âCome,â he waved.
She took a step back. âNo.â
âGood girl. Give me a kiss.â
Ji Weixi kept retreating, unwittingly catching a glimpse of the crisp, white sheets.
âWhere... where are the sheets I soiled?â
âIâm keeping it as a collection.â
â...Are you sick?â Ji Weixi stared at him as if he was out of his mind.
He pulled her into his arms, resting and rubbing his chin over her head.
âI have to keep something that hurts you every month, warning myself that I have to spoil you every moment.â
Ji Weixi smelled the clean scent on him and abruptly opened her eyes widely.
She was at once moved and embarrassed.
That was the first time someone had spoiled her like that.
His logic was different from normal humans, but... she liked it.
Li Shaoling seized the moment to kiss her, and she hit him in embarrassed rage.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He smiled, his eyes narrowing. âYou might be hitting me, but it hurts you in the heart.â
âIâm not hurting!â
As Ji Weixi turned and went downstairs, she turned again to glare at him when she found the familiar interior design. âDidnât you tell me you sold your house, Li Shaoling?â
He walked up to her leisurely, and then said with a very serious look, âThe current owner gave me three days to move out.â
Ji Weixiâs entire face was full of doubt, and she looked at him as if she was an idiot.
He never sold his house!
He could have just admitted it, but he had to lie.
Even lying as if it was the truth.
Putting his arm around her shoulder, he threw a passing glance. âI should have moved last night, but you kept insisting on coming to my house last night, so I have to move later.â
Wow. Even blaming her.
Ji Weixi chuckled in utter indignation. âWho would want to come to your house? Donât frame me, okay?â
âYouâre one to talk...â Li Shaoling smiled sinisterly as he inched closer.
Ji Weixi felt her breath caught, and fled away to hide flawlessly. âWho would say that? Donât be ridiculous, Li Shaoling!â
Did she look like someone who would say that?!
Did she?
Not at all.
Li Shaoling lifted her chin and clicked his tongue in disappointment. âYouâre really a woman whose words donât count.â
Compared to her wildcat self at the moment, he preferred the her from last night.
Meanwhile, Ji Weixi was staring him in the eyes.
She felt as if her brain was about to blow. All blood was streaming into her face, making it red and hot.
She really couldnât believe she said that!
So thuggish!
Itâs all over. Her image had collapsed.
Breathing deeply, she feigned composure. âNever believe the words of drunkards.â
âThereâs truth in a drunkardâs words.â
Ji Weixi was speechless.
âYou little thug. Youâve been eyeing my beauty for so long.â
Ji Weixi was left speechless again.
She also realized then that Li Shaoling had a terrifying magic: whatever words it could be, it could become real as long as he spoke it.
If she didnât know the truth, she almost would have believed that she was a thug who had been obsessed with his charms for a long time.
