章節 12: His Majesty Provoked Upon Entry

編輯: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ji Weixi drove everyone to the CBS International Tower.

"Wow! It's so tall! And huge!" Tian Miaomiao exclaimed as she feasted her eyes on the building that towered into the clouds—no different from a hick arriving at a city for the first time.

When they finally reached it, Ji Weixi led the way through the automatic doors while Tian Miaomiao followed, holding Jiayu's hand.

Jiang Cong appeared to have been waiting for her for some time.

"Miss Ji. Your workplace is upstairs—please follow me."

Ji Weixi simply nodded, keeping her words brief and few, which only adds to her mature lady demeanor.

With her long white legs and wearing minimal makeup, a white blouse and a short black skirt, she had a cool noble charisma.

Everyone's gazes were certainly caught.

That was the parachuted chief designer?

She looked like she was not to be crossed…

Ji Weixi's office was a single separate room which was just the right size, with everything she needs prepared for her.

The tot had plonked himself on the genuine leather couch and ran his fingers over it. "Mommy, your ugly boss is really nice to you."

Tian Miaomiao promptly shushed him. "Quiet, brat! Who told you that President Li is ugly? He's clearly drop-dead gorgeous!"

The child's face was full of disgust, however. "Anyone who bullies Mommy is ugly."

"And you're definitely a mama's boy!"

***

It was Monday, and there was a meeting at eight.

Ji Weixi sat in the conference room, watching as an entire crowd shuffled in, with Li Shaoling leading them.

His Italian tailored suit made him look as if he belonged to the finest fabric of nobility.

Every part of his appearance was exceedingly attractive. His facial features that appeared as if sculpted was pervadingly handsome.

His ebony pupils went deep like a pond. Even without speaking, he clearly held the room under his cool charisma.

Without so much as a sideways glance, Li Shaoling took the chairing seat.

It was a spirited meeting, with everyone present welcoming Ji Weixi.

However, as she stood up and was about to introduce herself, Li Shaoling suddenly raised his hand for a pause after being quiet throughout the meeting.

Although everyone thought that he had something important to announce, he simply said, "Ji Weixi. Coffee, please."

Everyone was speechless.

Ji Weixi took a deep breath. "Alright."

'You would go for my face on my first day?

'Very well.'

But when she thought that there would be all there is to it, Li Shaoling quickly complained that it was too hot without so much as a sip.

Then, after she had changed to a cooler cup, he said even glance at it, "I'm having trouble focusing lately… I think I'll just have a cup of water."

'Damn you and your power play on my first day, Li Shaoling!'

"What is it?" Li Shaoling asked with an innocent look on his face. "Am I troubling you?"

'Even playing the innocent card?

'What an impressive workplace revenge for a private provocation.'

However, Ji Weixi was smiling broadly despite herself. "It's no trouble. It's my pleasure to serve you, President Li."

As she went to do as she was told, every inch of Li Shaoling's face was now full of mockery. "I changed my mind. I'll have some fruit juice instead."

'You bastard!

'I made you coffee and you ask for water!

'I give you that, and now you're asking for fruit juice!'

Everyone else in the conference room watched as Ji Weixi acted under his whims. It was no different from a monkey show.

Be that as it may, no longer able to hold back, Ji Weixi's hand abruptly shook as she brought the cup of fruit juice to Li Shaoling, emptying the cup on his trousers.¹

Jolted, Li Shaoling promptly got to his feet.

"Oh my, President Li…" Ji Weixi held her hand over her mouth in surprise. "I'm really sorry, it wasn't on purpose."

The woman's gaze beneath her eyeliners was overflowing with innocence. He would certainly have been fooled if he was not aware that she was acting deliberately.

Suddenly, the room temperature was sub-zero. No one dared to breathe audibly.

To provoke His Majesty upon entry… she really was bored with just staying alive.

Li Shaoling's face turned dark as he became charged with killing intent.

A storm was coming.
