Chapter 98: President Li Is Proposing Again

His empty eyes shone then. He hurried towards her, looking delighted and surprised. “It’s you?”

Ji Weixi smiled faintly—she still had the vague sense that she knew him before. “So, you’re a pianist.”

No wonder his fingers looked so beautiful... so refined.

“That is but a title,” he smiled humbly, before adding worriedly, “but are you alright? How have you been?”

Ji Weixi was surprised that he still remembered that incident. Having lived in her own world, she grew to believe that pianists were out of touch from the common people and extremely arrogant.

And yet this man was so caring.

She shook her head then. “I’m fine, thank you.”

Then, after a pause, she asked hesitantly, “Are... are you alright?”

Briefly taken aback, the man smiled again. “Not dying yet.”

For some reason, Ji Weixi felt extraordinarily sad upon hearing the very word ‘dying’.

As an awkward pause hung in the air, the man grinned faintly and offered his hand, his gaze as gentle as the stars.

“I’m Su Yang.”

Ji Weixi looked at the pair of hands extended towards her and hesitated for a moment before grasping them stiffly.

“I’m Ji Weixi.” She replied, quickly withdrawing her hand.

“That’s a very nice name,” Su Yang said, although there was a brief flash of disappointment in the corner of his eyes.

“Really? Thank you!” It was the first time Ji Weixi heard someone praise her name, and she smiled earnestly.

Then, Su Yang looked around. “You’re not leaving? Should I give you a ride?”

“No... No need.” Ji Weixi quickly waved her hand.

Since Li Shaoling was still not here by now, he must have got home by himself in irritation.

That damned man.

Meanwhile, Su Yang could not help but smile at her cautious, strong look, the melancholy in his eyes soothing.

Did he really look that frightening?

That was when a Bugatti abruptly stopped by the main entrance. The door opened, and Li Shaoling got off, making his approach with a sinister look.

All the lines on his face were tightened, and his eyes were scalding with killing intent.

Around him, a dark presence was raging without control, and he appeared to be a demon coming straight out of hell amidst the rumbling thunder.

Speak of the devil indeed.

Ji Weixi took one step back by reflex. A slap from him could kill her, along with that frightening look of his.

However, he stood still, and gathered her into his arms firmly.

Silence.

A second passed, and then another...

“Darling.” Li Shaoling smiled, gently kissing her cheek and sweet talking tenderly. “Be nice, quit throwing a fuss. Our son’s waiting back home.”

It was a declaration of ownership and that the woman already had a baby with him!

However, Ji Weixi denied that with a red face. “Who is your darling!”

Shameless!

She was single, please!

Still, Li Shaoling kept his patience and kept his coaxing going with his baritone. “Come on, darling. You can punish me as you like when we’re home—being angry hurts the body, alright?”

That ‘darling’ was uttered every so naturally that Ji Weixi almost bought that!

Her cheeks were scalding and her heart thumping, almost caught magnificently by that title.

Even so, she never really desired men.

Yes, she should show some principles, and not cave just because of a ‘darling’.

“I’m not yo—urgh!”

Before she could finish, her head was forced into Li Shaoling’s chest, who was also smiling at Su Yang although his eyes were completely cold. “I’m sorry for troubling you—my darling can be a little mental.”

‘A little mental? Who?!

‘Your whole family, you mean!’

Ji Weixi almost went amok at those words, but he was so strong she could not free herself from his arms.

Then, just as Su Yang was about to say something, another man came running on the corridor, wheezing. “Finally found you, Maestro Su! Everyone is waiting for you!”

Su Yang pursed his pale-white lips for a moment and put a hand over his mouth to cough before saying, “Got it.”

He then took out a name card and handed it to Ji Weixi.

“See you next time.” His voice was soft and there was no emotion.

He then turned and left, and while the other man with him was saying more, he looked at once worried and respectful.

The man must be very important to be addressed as a maestro, Ji Weixi thought.

Be that as it may, Li Shaoling snatched away Su Yang’s name card and tore it apart with a single hand even before Ji Weixi had a look at what was written on it.

Then, he picked her up and stuffed her into the car.

The air of the small space inside was full of his coldness.

Before Ji Weixi could react, he was already on top of her.

His reaction was extremely violent because it carried his punishment.

When he released her, his thin lips were dyed with her lipstick in devilish charm.

There was no emotion in his voice, however. “What did you two talk about?”

Ji Weixi was frowning in pain, and shot back in irritation, “Nothing!”

He narrowed his eyes dangerously. “Hmmm.”

That’s what she could not stand. He was clearly very angry and could kill at any second, and yet his face would leave any vows of self-restraint lacking.

The moment you look at it, you would want to...

She shuddered.

“We only introduced ourselves.”

Li Shaoling snorted. He clearly did not buy it—his gaze, judgmental and seemingly piercing everything would drive any human out of their minds.

Ji Weixi sighed. She told him about what happened back at Mo Bin’s funeral since there was no helping it.

His eyes tightened at once and he scanned her from head to toe a few times, flustered with worry. “Are you hurt?”

A little overwhelmed, Ji Weixi shook her head. “I’m fine. The car missed me.”

Li Shaoling kept her tightly wrapped in his arms.

She could feel his heart beating furiously and his heaving breaths, before he eventually breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness you’re alright...” he sighed quietly.

He was so worried about her.

Ji Weixi simply remained in his arms, her heart flowing with a stream of warmth.

She bit her lip, feeling the mysterious sweet sensation in her heart.

But as he freed her, he said, “Stay away from him.”

‘...Why must he take control over everything? Does he rule the seas or something?’

Ji Weixi feigned a nod. “Yeah, sure.”

Her nonchalant response left him lifting a brow coldly.

“Fine!” She quickly said seriously, and it was only then that his face softened.

That was when Ji Weixi felt upset, since the matter about Alice’s session was still in her mind.

But just as she was about to say something, Li Shaoling put his index finger between his lips. “Close your eyes.”

“Why?”

“Close them.”

Why so much nonsense? She never listens.

Ji Weixi closed her eyes as told, expecting that he would steal a kiss again.

So why was she feeling a little anticipation?

Still, she abruptly felt a cool touch over her neck.

Startled, she opened her eyes to find a necklace.

The silver chain was linked to a dazzling diamond. Unlike other diamonds, it was cut with such distinct angles that each part was elegant, vibrant, pure, and transparent.

Ji Weixi could tell that it was Alice’s design style at once.

When she looked up, her eyes showed that she was beside herself with joy.

“You... you bought it?”

Oh my god!

Li Shaoling had actually bought the necklace, and pulled a veil over her eyes to surprise her.

She was actually angry at him when the promotional ended.

Come to think of it, she must have given him grief.

“Thank you, Li Shaoling!” Ji Weixi’s eyes were curled in an exceedingly bright smile. Unable to stop herself, she wrapped her arms around his waist.

As her refreshing sweet scent enveloped him and her softness dove into his bosom, Li Shaoling froze for a moment, his body tightening.

Still, a smile formed on his face soon enough and he returned the hug.

Then, he whispered right beside her ear, “You’ve got your idol’s necklace. Could you allow me to have you now?”

The ‘have’ spoken there certainly leaves the imagination going wild.

Ji Weixi pulled away, blushing. “No way.”

However, Li Shaoling moved closer, the tip of his nose touching hers as his dark eyes sparkled like midnight itself.

“Then would you marry me?”
