After father and son left, Ji Weixi started to clean the house.

She found Li Shaoling’s luggage in a corner then: one box was open while the other was still closed.

There were piles of black and white clothes—and no other color.

She had the impulse to fold the clothes and put them in a cabinet, but eventually stopped herself.

He was just here temporarily, and might just leave someday when he got bored.

Why would she meddle in his business?

Hence, she went for a bath and clean herself twice, perhaps because she was being obedient to Li Shaoling.

It was only after she was finished that she remembered that she had not collected the laundry being dried on the balcony.

Still, since she was alone in the house, she would be fine going out naked…

Pushing open the bathroom door, she put on some slippers and quickly crossed the living room and head for the balcony.

That was when a breeze abruptly rushed in.

Turning by reflex, Ji Weixi’s eyes found Li Shaoling’s as he entered the house.

She inhaled sharply as her feet seemed to have turned into lead, as her head screamed ‘shit’.

Li Shaoling himself paused by the door, his dark eyes staring at her stunning figure, at once confused and amazed.

Time seemed to go still.

One second passed.

Then five.

Then ten.

Both of them were holding their breath, but Ji Weixi could feel two streaks of flames burning on her face.

What the hell!

She quickly turned around and pretended nothing happened, calmly taking a towel to wrap around herself even as her cheeks burned feverishly.

As she dried her hair, she asked nonchalantly, “Why are you back?”

In reality, her mind was left in a mess.

Li Shaoling averted his eyes. “Forgot my wallet.”

“Where’s Jiayu?”

“He’s collateral at the supermarket.”

Ji Weixi instantly exploded, disregarding her embarrassment as she roared, “Li Shaoling! How are you a father!”

She could burst apart right then! That unreliable deadbeat of a father!

“If our son goes missing, you will have it from me till no end!” She glared at him as he took his wallet.

As her chest heaved, her towel slipped off and she was once again infinitely exposed.

Li Shaoling’s eyes were burning beneath, but he kept his composure. “On bed? I like that.”

“You…!!!” Ji Weixi pointed at him as he left, almost losing her breath.

Outside, Li Shaoling felt something hot flowing down his nose.

Drip!

A drop of blood splashed on the floor.

His complexion was not normal, and he got on the car with his ears red.

At the supermarket.
