Chapter 52 - Don't Think About Something Ridiculous
In the morning at six, the mist began to fade as the morning light arrived. Xiao li jerked awake from a nightmare about Jingyi Wang being killed, sitting up on the bed in a rush.
The moment she turned her head, she saw that the space next to her on the bed was already empty.
The silence in the room caused her heart to feel empty as she rushed to push the blanket aside. As she was about to climb down the bed, the sound of the door being opened came from the front.
The moment Xiao li lifted her head, she saw Jingyi Wang standing there already dressed. It seemed like he had not been awake for long, having just showered. He wore a shirt and long pants, looking clean and neat.
"You are awake?"
Xiao li only stared at him in a daze, watching him as if he wasn't talking to her.
"What's wrong? Feeling unwell?" Jingyi Wang saw that Xiao li was only staring at him and her skin was pale to the point that you can see through her skin.
He walked towards her and placed his hand on her forehead in concern, "Should I take you to the doctor?"
Hearing his words, Xiao li snapped back to reality. She immediately grabbed his arm and called him with a soft voice, "Ah Jin!"
Before he could react, Xiao li had flew into his arms suddenly.
Startled, Jingyi Wang subconsciously wrapped his arms around her. He felt her little body was trembling.
He was stunned.
He looked down at her and placed his hand on her head, patting her gently, "Had a nightmare?" he asked.
Xiao li heard his question and her arms wrapped around his waist tightened. She opened her mouth to talk, but she swallowed her words. She didn't know how to tell him about her dream.
Jingyi Wang rubbed her head. In a low voice, he said, "Don't think about something ridiculous, okay? Also, you don't have to be scared. I'll be there for you"
Upon hearing this, Xiao li's heart warmed up and she pressed her face against his broad chest. She refused to let go. Jingyi Wang saw that this little gesture of hers was cute and adorable, and he chuckled lightly.
"They have already made breakfast. Go wash up and eat"
"Okay"
Even though, Xiao li was unwillingly, she still let go of Jingyi Wang. She changed her clothes and went down stairs for breakfast.
She had barely sat down when she heard Jingyi Wang yelling. She looked over and saw that he was on a phone call.
'Why is he angry?' Xiao li thought to herself.
She sat down by the table and took a glance at Jingyi Wang. She had never seen him get angry these past few days. His face expression was gloomy and his pair of stern and clear brows were furrowed. His handsome and perfect face seemed to be crafted by God himself.
He was so handsome to the point that she could not take her eyes off him.
After hanging up with a bang, Jingyi Wang turned only to find Xiao li looking at him.
She waved at him with a smile, "Come and eat breakfast"
Seeing her cheerful smile, Jingyi Wang lifted his long legs and walked towards the table. He sat down beside her and ate his food.

After breakfast, Xiao li who had been following Jingyi Wang only stopped when he turned around.
"Why did you follow me out? You should return to the room to rest, It's already the beginning of autumn. Don't catch a cold"
"Going to rest right after eating, are you raising me like a pig?" Xiao li reached out her hand and adjusted his collar and tie.
Jingyi Wang heard her and lowered his head with a smile on his face, "If I raise you like a pig, then you will be my pig. That way, no one will look at you and find you attractive"
Xiao li's hand paused on his tie and she raised her head to look at him. She found his smile flirtatious. Xiao li's eyes burned with rage and she hit her clenched fist on his chest, "Jingyi Wang! how dare you call me a pig?! I will kill you!"
Seeing her sudden outburst, the smile on Jingyi Wang lips widened, and his eyes showed a hint of affection.
Suddenly, Jingyi Wang reached out his hand and pulled her into his arms. Seeing that she was pulled into his embrace, Xiao li shrank into his embrace and pinched his waist.
"Stop being so childish and go inside"
"..." Xiao li was stunned.
Just because she hugged him, she was now childish. She didn't complain when he used to be childish and shameless, but now that she hugged him, he called her "Childish"
Xiao li pulled away from his embrace and walked away. As she walked away, she heard him say, "Oi, won't I get a goodbye kiss?"
Xiao li's lips twisted as she continued to walk away without answering him.
When Xiao li entered the house, a maid brought her her phone and said politely, "Young miss, you have a phone call"
As soon as Xiao li heard that she had a phone call, she averted her gaze to maid and collected her phone. A frown appeared on her face when she saw that it was an unknown number, but still she answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Xiao li, you finally picked my call" A magnetic, deep male voice rang into her ears. The voice had a hint of happiness in it and it melted her heart.
"Do you know who this is?"
The man asked again when he heard no reply from her.
Xiao li snapped out of her thought and face slapped, "Oh, yes! Liu wei, what's up? Why did you call?"
Although, Xiao li was the one who gave him her number, but she never thought that he would call her so early.
In the past, she had always wanted to hear his voice every morning. It melted her heart and it filled her heart with joy.
"I just wanted to... em... know how you are doing. How are you?"
"I'm good" Xiao li replied as she walked towards the couch and picked up a remote. "Don't you have work to do at the company this morning? It looks like you really have time for me, en?"
Xiao li felt awkward talking to him. She was the one who broke the promise and she had no time to apologize to him.
Hearing her reprimand him, he chuckled lightly. "Why? Do you care about me?"
It stunned Xiao li.
'Do I care about him' She asked herself.
"I was only asking"
Xiao li's reply made Liu wei's face fall, but he still maintained the bitter smile on his face.
