Chapter 171: Jiang Yigu? Wubbish!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Shaoling’s capacity for lying without batting an eye is growing stronger. Who else other than him would need a beating?

Meanwhile, Tian Miaomiao had taken Ji Weixi’s hand apologetically. “I’m sorry, Xixi.”

Ji Weixi was rather surprised. “Why are you apologizing?”

I couldn’t come to see you even after something happened. I only knew about it, and it was President Li who told me.”

Ji Weixi smiled slyly. “Tell me, Rich Woman Tian. How have the last few days been? Even now, you looked like you’ve just gone through a breakup…”

That was when Ji Weixi paused and held her hand over her mouth. “Wait, did you just break up? But you… with whom?”

There was a flash of emotion just beneath Tian Miaomiao’s eyes, but she nonchalantly waved Ji Weixi off. “Oh, what are you even talking about? Me, breaking up? I have such a banging booty and I’m so nice—who would even dump me!? I’m just feeling the blues over these days, maybe because I’m getting sick of being single. So I’ve decided: from today onwards, I’m going to chase after some young blood!”

She then clenched her fist determinedly. “Xixi, I recently got my eye on an intern down at Operations! He’s more handsome than a celebrity, and I’m getting my hands on him! Just you watch, Xixi!”

Her words were full of spirit just as her voice was loud, leaving everyone silent in no time at all.

Tian Miaomiao thought that they were all stunned by her, and so put her hands on her hips while laughing proudly.

And what a dry laugh it was…

But as she laughed on, she felt that something wasn’t right—like something was stabbing into her back.

She turned around, and almost immediately wanted to convey her intentions to kill herself.

By the doorway, Li Shaoling and Jiang Yigu were standing shoulder-to-shoulder—both were of equal height after all.

Jiang Yigu was staring indifferently at Tian Miaomiao, his glasses reflecting blue light while the colors beneath the lenses were unfathomable and profound.

On the other hand, Li Shaoling showed unconcealed disdain.

Tian Miaomiao wanted nothing more than to bite off her tongue as a billion of curses crossed her mind.

How could she be so unlucky!

Keeping a straight face, Tian Miaomiao quietly sat on Ji Weixi’s bed and buried her head on her shoulders, while Ji Weixi patted her head and consoled her as if she was a child. “You said nothing. They heard nothing.”

Tian Miaomiao nodded. “Yeah!”

Li Shaoling walked to them then, opening the food containers for Ji Weixi’s breakfast. Then, scooping up a spoonful, he blew on it before holding it up to her lips.

Embarrassed, Ji Weixi said, “I’ll do it myself.”

Even so, Li Shaoling stopped her from using her hands and was stubbornly insistent on feeding her. As such, she could only stiffen herself against the huge pressure and eat, spoon by spoon.

Everyone in the sickroom watched their public display of affection.

After breakfast, Ji Weixi went to the washroom and changed out of her patient gown.

Li Wanyun was about to pack up her things but Li Shaoling stopped her. “Too much bacteria in the hospital. Dump it.”

The group went to the elevator—there was a small crowd, so Ji Weixi and Li Shaoling entered first, followed by Li Wanyun, the little one and Jiang Cong.

Tian Miaomiao just put a foot in when the beeping sounds of overload sounded.

The elevator doors closed as she pulled her foot out, while Tian Miaomiao screamed ‘No!’ inwardly.

She discreetly slid a glance at Jiang Yigu nearby, who shifted aside unaffectedly.

No way was she going to stand beside him!

***

Over the last few days, Tian Miaomiao had thought things through and seen the light.

It’s just a man! What’s the big deal about it!?

There’s no way other men wouldn’t want her!

She’s just a little flat-chested, at worse!

And even if she really can’t find someone… she could just find another woman! At least she won’t be single!

Jiang Yigu? Heh. Wubbish!

Just as her thoughts drifted to a happy place, the elevator door opened, although there were still many others inside.

Still, Jiang Yigu entered languidly before turning to her. “Not coming?”

Tian Miaomiao played it cool with a flat look. “I’ll take the next one—”

Before she could finish, Jiang Yigu had already taken her hand and pulled her into the elevator.

With the crowd inside, Tian Miaomiao was basically pasted to him.

Her body stiffened immediately, and she closed her eyes while taking deep breaths as she muttered inwardly: I’m holy, I’m holy…

The elevator eventually opened when it reached the ground floor, and Tian Miaomiao quickly ran out at once to Ji Weixi’s side.

Ji Weixi watched as she panted heavily. “What happened? Did a dog chase you?”

Tian Miaomiao guiltily slid a peek at Jiang Yigu who was coming after her, and grunted an affirmative quietly.

***

Li Shaoling had invited them to the hospital because Ji Weixi was getting discharged, and so that they could help dispel her blues.

Back home, Li Wanyun offered to cook. Tian Miaomiao naturally went to help her, since she did not want to be idle and run into Jiang Yigu.

“Uncle Cong! Come play with me!”

The little one was now a little tyrant after having reached home, flinging off his shoes and socks to a corner and dashed to his room to dance disco over his bed.

Jiang Cong quickly excused himself, pretending as if someone was yelling for him from behind. “Huh? Soy sauce? Okay, I’ll go right away!”

He hurried to the door, but just as the light of victory was within reach, Li Shaoling suddenly appeared in his way with an inscrutable look. “Where are you going?”

“Ah, haha, I was going to get soy sauce.” Jiang Cong laughed drily, scratching his head.

Li Wanyun came out of the kitchen with a wok in hand. “There is soy sauce here.”

“Like I said, I’m going to get vinegar.”

“There’s some here too.”

“Condiments.”

“There’s everything here.”

Utterly despairing, Jiang Cong almost roared. “I’m off to buy out a supermarket, alright.”

Li Wanyun nodded in agreement and suddenly remembered something. “Oh, right. Xiao Cong, go get a fish from the market. Xixi just left the hospital so she’s still a bit weak, and I’ll make fish soup for her.”

Jiang Cong looked upon Li Wanyun as if she had just provided salvation, and could not wait to kowtow and burn joss sticks for her. “I’ll go right now!”

Then, as Ji Weixi went to the kitchen to help as well, Li Wanyun pushed her back to the living room and pressed her down on the couch to rest. “You don’t have to worry about my cooking. Just wait and eat!”

Ji Weixi was feeling moved when Li Wanyun added, “You need some nursing whenever you get hurt, or your second child would suffer!”

“…”

Ji Weixi flushed in denial. “I never thought about having another child!”

And she can’t give birth anyway…

However, Li Wanyun gave her a look as if she saw through everything. “Everyone eats their words. Always.”

Ji Weixi was speechless.

Klang—

That was when the sound of something breaking echoed in the kitchen.

Li Wanyun quickly ran inside to find Tian Miaomiao staring at the pieces of a broken bowl on the floor, bewildered.

“Out!”

Tian Miaomiao was chased out unceremoniously.

Meanwhile, Li Shaoling had washed a bunch of fruits and put them on a coffee table, and started to peel grapes which he fed Ji Weixi.

Ji Weixi felt as if she was undergoing postpartum confinement again.

She had not gotten over her misery from yesterday’s phone call, and yet Li Shaoling was still being so nice to her… and almost heartrendingly so.

Even so, she could not help herself from feeling sad.

“What are you thinking about?”

Catching her in a blank moment, Li Shaoling gently pecked her on the lips.
