Chapter 39: I Like You

“Lili!”

Before Pei Xiubai could react, Xu Ciye’s facial expression turned sour instantly!

He didn’t expect that the little girl would be so bold despite being so cute on the outside. To think that she dared to shove her face right up against Pei Xiubai’s.

He was afraid that Pei Xiubai would do something to her.

Xu Ciye walked forwards, intending to pull Lu Li back, so that she was far away from the dangerous and unpredictable Pei Xiubai.

But before he could even get close enough, the smiling boy in the wheelchair gave him a cool glance before gesturing for Xu Ciye to stay back.

The gesture looked like that of a dictator’s, of which objection or defiance was not permitted!

The two bodyguards behind him immediately rushed out and blocked Xu Ciye’s path. They said to him, “Our apologies, Young Master Xu! Please forgive us!”

Xu Ciye was so angry that he almost exploded.

He looked past the bodyguards and straight at the handsome boy sitting in the wheelchair. He was so anxious that he almost got down on his knees to beg the boy to let her go. Instead, he said, “Please, my little young master! Don’t do anything rash! She’s different from all those other people, she’s not someone that you can touch! She’s Lu Junhan’s daughter if you do anything to her, her father…”

“Too noisy.”

The boy looked up at Xi Ciye as the corner of her red lips curled downwards. His expression didn’t change much when he said, “Don’t you know how to gag his mouth? Or, do I have to teach you people how to do it?”

The bodyguards shuddered. They then turned towards Xu Ciye and said, “We are so sorry, Young Master Xu. Do know that we are just carrying out orders.”

“Wait!” With a shocked expression, Xu Ciye stumbled backward as he yelled, “What are you gonna do to me?!”

The bodyguards didn’t give him any chance to escape. They stuffed a nearby rag into his mouth before tying up his hands.

The bodyguards were afraid that their little master would find them troublesome and they themselves would be in trouble instead.

“…”

‘Pei Xiubai, I won’t forget this!’ thought Xu Ciye to himself.

The little girl tilted her head cluelessly, unable to understand what was happening. Before she could speak, the boy with the pale face leaned in towards her, his lashes drooping downwards as he did so. “Little thing, do you know me?” he asked.

The girl batted her eyes but she was in no hurry to answer his question. Instead, she responded with another question, “Big brother, is your name Pei Xiubai?”

The boy paused before answering with a smile, “Yes.”

The little girl became overjoyed instantly. “Then, Lili knows you.”

When the little girl smiled, her big eyes that were shaped like grapes seemed to be filled with starlight. Her fair chubby face made her look just like the dolls in the display cabinet. She was adorable indeed.

Pei Xiubai’s eyes fell on her brilliant eyes. Next, he raised his hand and used his finger to poke her pudgy cheeks.

Just as he had thought.

It was very soft and smooth, and it felt like he was stroking KK.

No, she was softer than KK.

And she was cuter than KK the cat.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t bring her with him.

“Ngh…

When Xu Ciye saw what was happening, his entire body felt like it was on fire. Even the bodyguards could do nothing but gasp in awe at the scene.

They were all afraid that the little young master would shred the face of the little girl using the same finger that he was poking her with.

After all, the little girl did touch the young master’s favorite pet cat and she’d also smashed into his legs. Young Master Pei may seem unfazed by this but that alone did not mean that he had forgotten about what she did to him.

Not to mention that these were the two things that were considered Young Master Pei’s taboo, which no one in the world could ever break.

If the little girl ran far, far away after that, nothing would have happened. But she approached their young master directly. She was throwing herself straight into the lion’s den!

It didn’t matter who this child’s parents were once the boy goes mad!

Everyone became anxious.

The bodyguards couldn’t bear to watch what would happen next.

The little girl was very cute. But if her face was scarred, she would have to live the rest of her life with it. They all knew how brutal Young Master Pei was after all!

But she was Lu Junhan’s daughter. After offending Lu Junhan, it would be a near-impossible task to leave Hai City unscathed!

They didn’t want to deal with such trouble.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and asked,

“Young Master Pei, just this time, can you…” forgive her?

“I like you,” Pei Xiubai suddenly said.
