Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ji Weixi was startled to find Tian Miaomiao’s face red and swollen at work the next day.
Even if Tian Miaomiao looked rather masculine, she remained a girl of delicate skin and tender flesh.
Now, her face was purple-blue while her eyes were red and swollen, as if she was a completely different person.
Ji Weixi hurried to her and checked on her injuries. “What happened? Who hit you?”
Tian Miaomiao chuckled, but it tugged at her wound and she winced in the pain. “I’m fine...”
Ji Weixi’s eyes turned cold. “Tell , who hit you!”
They must have gotten tired of living, bullying her people.
“Oh, it’s fine...” Tian Miaomiao mustered a smile although her eyes remained evasive. “I went out to get so food last night, and got hit by a drunkard.”
“Really?” Ji Weixi narrowed her eyes, staring at her judgntally.
“Of course. Would I lie to you?”
After Ji Weixi got to his feet and left, the little one ca to Tian Miaomiao, clenched his tiny fists and grunted. “Anyone who bullies Miaomiao is ugly!”
She stared at him. “You bully too.”
He quickly put his hands on his hips. “Other than , Daddy and Mommy, anyone who bullies you is ugly!”
The brat really never forgets about defending his parents.
As Tian Miaomiao kept up with them with a twitching mouth, she asked, “Hey, why are you going?”
Ji Weixi frowned. “To call the cops, of course. You are quite badly beaten.”
“Who would you report?” Tian Miaomiao said, pulling her back. “There are many people loitering around at night, and I didn’t even see that guy’s face—they would never find him. Moreover, I gave him a good kick in the nuts and he’s probably not using it from now on. All I got is just so flesh wound.”
Ji Weixi felt hurt looking at the parts of her face that were purple here and blue there.
“Alright, get to work. It’s not like I’m disfigured... hehe.” Tian Miaomiao stuffed her into her seat, before returning to her own seat and pretended to work.
The headaches from her hangover almost killed her when she got off the bed.
She felt so faint and light-headed that her head felt like it was splitting. Nothing ca out when she tried to vomit and her stomach was in burning agony, whereas her entire being felt afloat and without a center of gravity.
Thank goodness she made it in ti to buy so hangover redy at the pharmacy that she was now better.
Still...
There were colors flashing just beneath her eyes as she tried to rember the man who saved her.
Was it a handso or an ugly?
Must be handso, given that voice...
The only thing she rembered was that he wore shades.
Tian Miaomiao clutched her own head then, depressed.
Was she really so unlucky with good-looking n?!
The world is so huge and n-wearing-shades innurable. Where should she even start looking!
Finding a pained look on her face, Ji Weixi quickly asked, “Are you alright, Miaomiao? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“No, I’m fine!” Tian Miaomiao quickly smiled.
Ji Weixi sighed and warned her, “Don’t go at night alone, you hear ? It’s so dangerous for you to live all by yourself... maybe you should move back...”
“N-no!” Tian Miaomiao quickly refused, waving her off. “How could I bother you and President Li!”
Moreover, Li Shaoling had told her in private when she moved out that all that awaits was death if she dared to return.
The little one nodded too. “That’s right. You can’t co back, or you will affect my sister’s looks. Daddy said that nobody must disturb when he does it with Mommy... And since I’m so handso, my sister mustn’t be ugly.”
“You stay quiet!” Ji Weixi blushed, her rage ter against Li Shaoling rising.
Duping a child just because he was an adult...
She realized then that Li Shaoling is a first-rate liar.

It was almost lunchti when Tian Miaomiao leaned back on her chair and stretched. “By the way, Xixi, are you going for the company dinner tonight?”
Working, Ji Weixi paused for a mont, twirling her pen as she thought about it.
“Of course,” she replied.
Didn’t Qiao Ai said that there were many in the company prejudiced against her? She would see for herself who they were.
It was good for her own understanding too, since she had made waves when she arrived at CBS. There would certainly be those wanting to have a good look at her, and she is only too happy to oblige.
Tian Miaomiao promptly sprung up as if she had chicken-blood therapy. “Wonderful! I’m going too... I want to check out CBS for handso n!”
The little one blinked. “What about ?”
Both won turned to him at the sa ti. “You stay ho!”
“I wouldn’t go even if you brought along,” The little one deliberately breathed a long sigh. “Won. Always so troubleso.”
“...”
Kid, should you be saying that?

When noon arrived, Tian Miaomiao said that she was on a diet and didn’t want to eat, whereas the little one had a al earlier at nine since he was hungry.
Having no appetite, Ji Weixi simply found a café and took a window seat, at the furthest end of the corridor.
She ordered a cup of milk tea, and finding herself bored, started to flip through the news on her phone.
It was about star celebrity Lin Xiaoman, who appeared to have so issue with her wardrobe.
Ji Weixi felt her heart thump for a bit, but when she was about to keep reading...
“Miss Ji?” A voice that could only belong to a man suddenly spoke over her head.
She looked up to find a pair of amber eyes and a ssy head silver hair.
It was Su Yang.
“Mister Su?” Ji Weixi stood up in surprise; she did not expect to et him here.
He was wearing a simple white short-sleeve shirt, paired with jeans and converse shoes.
However, he still had no bright side to him despite that match of clothes, and looked as depressing as ever.
He was quite infectious.
Su Yang looked around and smiled. “I’m afraid there’s no other seat now. May I sit here?”
“Of course.” Ji Weixi nodded.
The truth was that she would have refused if it was any other man.
On the other hand, Ji Weixi had a mysterious familiarity despite this being their third eting.
She wanted to ask if they were acquainted before, but kept quiet since it would be too awkward to actually put that into words.
After both of them sat down, Su Yang crossed his long fingers on the table.
“Do you work around here?” He asked lightly.
“Yes,” Ji Weixi nodded, hesitating a mont before asking, “You are here for...?”
“I have a performance here later. Co visit if you’re free.” Su Yang smiled breezily.
A silence ensued, leaving the air awkward.
The waiter arrived and put the ordered milk tea in front of Ji Weixi. She took a sip, before her gaze t Su Yang’s sharp look.
She was almost scorched then, and quickly took out so tissues to clean herself.
“What is it?”
Su Yang lowered his gaze, a mysterious look flashing beneath his eyes before he smiled. “I just feel that you resemble an old friend of mine.”
“Old friend?”
“Yes.” Su Yang then looked outside the window, his gaze becoming distant. “I have been looking for her for years... I thought she was dead.”
He then paused and turned to look at Ji Weixi, his voice becoming quiet.
His lancholic air seed to thickened then, exuding a sadness that could not be hidden.
“I eventually found her, but... she could no longer be mine.”
