The little one wanted some spicy crayfish.
However, Ji Weixi cannot stop worrying about eating outside since it was unhygienic and he could catch some parasite.
When she got off work in the evening, Ji Weixi was planning to head for the supermarket to buy some live crayfish along with some soup ingredients to cook at home.
Li Shaoling followed along too.
As Ji Weixi watched his long face that showed neither a hint of a smile nor any other expression, she thought that anyone who didn’t know would take him for a bodyguard.
In the meantime, Ji Weixi went to pick some crayfish from the aquarium before going to buy some dishes.
After that, the little one scampered off on his tiny feet to buy yogurt, and then went to choose some new toys.
Ji Weixi kept up behind him while pushing a shopping cart, afraid of losing sight.
Li Shaoling was tagging along beside the cart, watching as the little one reached out with his short hands, trying to take the model of an excavator off a shelf. That was when Ji Weixi patiently got one and handed it to the boy, who started jumping around in joy, clapping.
Li Shaoling’s eyes softened at that very sight.
Along with his tall, slim figure, his black tailored suit that hugged his straightened form, his cold face especially reflected his highborn status and hints of abstinence.
Two girls who looked like university students were shoving each other, trying to decide who would go up and talk to him.
They minced up to him, with the one wearing glasses saying flirtatiously, “Excuse me… handsome, may I add you on WeChat?”
Li Shaoling gave her the briefest of glances before turning away. How arrogant!
The glasses girl and her companion squealed. “So cool!”
“Handsome, add us on WeChat. You’re so gorgeous!”
What’s wrong with girls these days? They couldn’t leave just because they saw a good-looking man?
Moreover, that woman named Ji Weixi was never so lovesick even in the presence of that face.
Hence, Li Shaoling suddenly felt a sense of defeat for no reason at all.
Nonetheless, when he still didn’t react, the girls bit their lip in hesitation and took out their phones to present their WeChat barcode. “Excuse me, handsome, hope you could scan my WeChat…”
However, that was when Li Shaoling’s spoke mildly.
“What took you so long?” He asked, before gathering a slim, tall woman into his arms.
Ji Weixi looked up to him. “Well, your son is picking another toy.”
Li Shaoling gave her a peck on the cheek and smiled tenderly. “Don’t keep me waiting next time.”
Ji Weixi felt a cool softness on her face right then, and she stiffened with her heart thumping.
She felt embarrassed and meek right then, and slowly nodded.
Meanwhile, the two girls were left red-faced and mortified, and they quickly turned to leave while pretending that nothing happened.
How embarrassing—they were asking for a married man’s WeChat.
And he was a father too.
Still, what a shame that such a handsome man has a wife.

Even after they had made payment at the counter and reached home, Ji Weixi could still feel the heat on her cheek where Li Shaoling kissed him.
At the same time, the little one had quickly taken his shoes off and unwrapped each of his new toys, putting them all over the carpet and sat with his feet bare. He was beside himself with joy as he played, and kept mumbling things no one could understand.
Ji Weixi went to the kitchen. She soaked the crayfish and washed them.
“Ouch!”
Her fingertip was suddenly hurting, and her brow tightened.
“What happened?”
Li Shaoling hurried to her and held her fingers in his palm.
Her whitened fingertip had been stabbed by the crayfish, and droplets of blood were seeping out.
He promptly put her hand in his mouth.
A numbing bolt struck her heart directly.
