Chapter 133: You’re Marrying Me After I Steal Your Hukou Booklet

Still, it made sense since there’s no reason Jiang Cong would tell Ji Weixi about his family.
“Of course it’s true, I won’t lie to you.” Li Shaoling added.
Ji Weixi scanned him. “I might not come back in a few days. You’re the president of a company, what happens if you went to work instead?”
“You just have to sleep and follow me tomorrow.” Li Shaoling pressed her down, clutching her as he pulled the sheets over them.
“There’s much to do at work, it’s better if you don’t come with me.”
Li Shaoling eyed her. “Incidentally, I have something to do over at Ocean City. Why else would I go with you?”
“…Oh.”
Ji Weixi raised her head from his arms and said meekly, “But I don’t want to go with you…”
No way would she be alone with him!
There’s a huge chance she would be eaten up.
Nonetheless, Li Shaoling played with her hair with his fingers. “I see. You want to go with your husband.”
Ji Weixi glared at him in embarra.s.sment and anger. “You’re not my husband!”
“Are you admitting it’s me already? I didn’t even specify who your husband is.” Li Shaoling snuggled up to her, smiling slyly like a fox.
Beneath the colors of the night, his eyes went as deep as old lakes, almost sucking her in.
She actually fell for his trap, but she feigned composure. “You’re not the only one—I have many husbands.”
Li Shaoling’s smiled faded and his voice turned cold. “Ji Weixi, you’re testing the limits of my patience.”
Even his face was showing how upset he was.
He said he was hers, and that was his bottom-line.
And she continued to probe the edge repeatedly as if seeking death.
Meanwhile, Ji Weixi turned away in fear and shrank within herself. “I’m sleepy. Goodnight.”
Li Shaoling firmly turned her around, took her into his arms while threatening her coldly. “I’ll really eat you if you say anything like that again, Ji Weixi.”
Those words were unusually terrifying. Ji Weixi gulped, afraid to speak.

Early next morning, Ji Weixi was being dragged to the civil affairs bureau by Li Shaoling.
“Let me go, let’s talk about this!” Ji Weixi’s hand was a little painful from his grip.
Li Shaoling looked at her calmly. “Regretting it now?”
Ji Weixi was speechless—she never agreed to it in the first place.
It was all because he threatened her.
Still, when she saw that the man’s face turning dark, she quickly said, “Well, I don’t have my Hukou Booklet with me even if we are getting registered! It’s not going to work.”
“Where is it.”
“With the Ji family…”
Though she had been disowned by Ji Xiangdong and Zhou Huijie, her Hukou was not transferred, and she remained a part of the Ji family by law.
Li Shaoling then pulled her outside. “Let’s go take it.”
“No!” Ji Weixi tried her best to resist, and smiled dryly when she saw the cold look on his face. “Well… Ji Xiangdong might not be at home, we have to go some other day…”
“I know how to pick a lock. Let’s go steal it.”
“….” Ji Weixi had no way out at all.
Meanwhile, the little one was stuffing snacks into his Peppa Pig bag while digging a deeper hole for her, “Daddy, Mommy doesn’t want to marry you. Punish her!”
The kissing kind of punis.h.!.+
Then, his little sister would come!
With that, Li Shaoling caught Ji Weixi, arching his back and went for it. In the rush of the moment and at the sight of him approaching, she held his neck and gave him a quick peck.
It happened so quickly that even Ji Weixi surprised even herself.
Li Shaoling was clearly stunned, so she reacted quickly and put her face into his chest, holding his waist and swayed him. “We’ll send our son to Jiang Cong’s place and then go to Ocean City. That matters to the entire company, so it won’t be too late for the wedding afterwards. Okay?”
She looked up, waiting for his answer anxiously. Her eyes were dewy, her features ever clear and pretty, not to mention that her hesitant, lip-chewing look was also adorable and girly.
How could he resist her when she’s acting like that?
Li Shaoling’s heart tingled. His face turned gentle and he smiled.
Ji Weixi a.s.sumed that he was charmed, and that he would agree.
But in the very next second, Li Shaoling had whipped out his phone, the screen s.h.i.+ning bright in her face as he composedly said, “I’ve recorded what you said just now. If you don’t come with me to take the certificate when we come back, I’m taking this to court.”
Both Ji Weixi and the little one was speechless.
What???
Ji Weixi felt as if she was choking blood and wanted nothing more to spit it all in his face.
It was the first time she had ever seen such suffocating behavior.
What a concrete example of toxic masculinity.

They sent the little one to Jiang Cong’s house, who opened the door with his bedhead still on when the little one lunged at him. “Uncle Cong!”
“Wha… Wha…” Jiang Cong almost mouthed a curse from fright, but reacted quick enough to change his reaction. “Wow, I’m so happy, hahaha….”
Ji Weixi quietly mourned for Jiang Cong at the sight of his fake smile.
Meanwhile, the little one had quickly brought his small luggage case into Jiang Cong’s room, dumping his bag aside as if he was too familiar with the place and then taking off his socks to scamper around happily. “Uncle Cong, I’m staying with you for the next few days! Come play with me!”
Jiang Cong’s forehead was dripping with sweat and he laughed drily before turning to Li Shaoling in grief. “Boss… where are you going?”
“Ocean City.”
“Huh? Ocean City? But I don’t remember any business you need to personally oversee out there…”
He quickly swallowed those words before he could finish—Li Shaoling had shot him a frightening look.
Jiang Cong quickly bowed and said respectfully, “Wis.h.i.+ng you a good time, Boss, and have another child as soon as possible!”
Li Shaoling was very satisfied. “You can have paid leave until I come back.”
But before Jiang Cong could smile, Li Shaoling added, “Your head will roll if anything happens to my son.”
After all, Ji Weixi would be upset if that happened.
“…Relax, Boss! I’ll serve Young Master well!”
Ji Weixi smiled apologetically. “Sorry for troubling you.”
Li Shaoling snorted coldly. “It’s what he should do.”
Watching as the couple leave, Jiang Cong closed the door and was so shocked by what he soon saw that his bag went up against the wall.
In the s.p.a.ce of a brief conversation, the little one had unloaded everything from his bag, leaving his tidy and clean living room in an utter mess…
“Uncle Cong, where are we going to play today?”
The little one ran to him and hugged his leg, looking up at him hopefully.
Jiang Cong was simply unable to smile, and only had a look of despair. “Why not… play me?”
The little one was speechless.
***
Ocean City was more than four hundred kilometers away from River Town, a five-hour journey if driving.
Ji Weixi felt a little carsick after playing with her phone for a while and simply threw it aside, leaning on the car window to take in the sights.
However, after seeing only either sea or bridges for some time, she became bored.
As such, she turned to stare at Li Shaoling.
Even as he drove, his sitting posture was straight. With his long and slim fingers holding the steering wheel, he had his sleeves rolled up and his veins slightly protruding.
His cool, aloof pride was obvious from his side profile, and the eyes beneath his double eyelids were unaffected and inscrutable.
He did not have to go to work, and was therefore dressed casually: a simple white s.h.i.+rt with short sleeves, jeans, and canvas shoes.
But even such simple combination still made him appear n.o.ble.
