16 White haired pervert

As soon as he left his office, Ji Xiehan drove off to the Li residence.

He had already done his background check on Li Lanni the previous night. It was actually a shocking coincidence that Li Lanni's mother was someone he was familiar with.

By familiar, it of course didn't mean they had a close friendship. They had only met a few times many years ago. Although he was only a little boy back then, he just couldn't ever forget about her.

Ji Xiehan parked his car some distance away and walked up to the Li residence.

He was about to ring the bell but his hand stopped mid-air. What was he going to say to Li Yuming? That he was here to see Lanni?

Li Yuming might not remember him. It might be troublesome and last night, Lanni had been offended by him. It was going to be harder than expected.

"Forget it. I will find a more suitable time to speak to her. She's probably still angry." He turned to leave.

However, he didn't expect to hear an angry voice exclaiming. "Eh, you white haired pervert, what are you doing here?"

Ji Xiehan felt his back go cold. What did Li Lanni just call him? He turned sharply. "You…"

He stopped in the next moment. Li Yuming…

"Lanni, do you know him?" Li Yuming asked, surprised by how frightened her daughter looked.

"Hello auntie..."

Before Ji Xiehan could introduce himself, Li Lanni thoughtlessly blurted. "Mom, why are you listening to him? He's a pervert! He kidnapped me yesterday."

Li Yuming glared at the young man. But the main point was, "Lanni, you were kidnapped? Why didn't you tell me about it?"

"I was scared I didn't have any evidence. But here he is, sneaking around our house. Mom, we should call the police."

"Wait, you have misunderstood."

Li Yuming was even angrier. "You have the guts to speak? Leave right now or I will really call the police. Don't even dare to get near my daughter again."

Ji Xiehan was defeated. Well, it might take some time.

Li Yuming was taking her daughter to hospital for a routine check. Because Li Lanni insisted on walking, they were not driving.

"Lanni, don't leave the house on your own again. Have I not told you to always take your bodyguard with you? You still don't remember many things and might run into people with evil intentions."

Li Lanni pouted. "But I don't like being followed around by bodyguards."

"It's for your own safety, okay? Be good."

Though unwilling, she nodded. Her mother was right.

Li Yuming thought of a possibility and laughed. "Lanni, are you sure the man just now was a pervert as you put it? He is so handsome… he looks more like an admirer."

Li Lanni was annoyed. "Mom, are you simply going to be swayed by looks? He really is a huge pervert! I don't even know him on personal terms."

"Really? I think he looks familiar."

Li Lanni had her arm hooked with her mother's. "He is Ji Xiehan. Of course he's familiar."

"Ji Xiehan?"

"Shocking, right? I didn't expect the well-known Master Ji to be so unreserved. I don't even understand why he's picking on me either."

Li Yuming wasn't thinking of that. Her mind was filled with the image of a cute little boy sitting at the roadside. He had silver-white hair and a pair of eyes that could charm anyone to hug him. However when they first met, the little boy was injured. No one cared to help him despite his pitiful state and only minded their business.

She couldn't bear to see anyone so helpless, much less such a young child. "Little boy, what's your name? Where are your parents?"

The boy was so scared that he didn't say anything and only kept crying. Li Yuming couldn't bear to leave him on his own. He was just too pitiful.

Decisively, she brought him to hospital and paid the bill. His injury was unfortunately so deep that he had to stay in hospital for further observation.

But, she had to take care of other matters so she could only leave after giving the little boy a card. "Little boy, I have to leave. If they can't contact your parents, you can contact me."

"Ji Xiehan." the boy spoke to her for the first time.

"What?"

"My name is Ji Xiehan. I'm scared my mother will scold me if I call her. Could you contact them for me?" He fished out of his pocket a card with his mother's name and contact number.

As for what happened afterwards, it was a roller coaster.

"That scaredy little boy has grown into a man. He might even like my Lanni."

"Mom, what are you mumbling about?" Li Lanni had been rattling her mouth off for such a long time but her mother hadn't spoken a word in response. What was she thinking about?

Li Yuming jolted. "Nothing. You were saying?"

Li Lanni sighed. "I was thinking, I could take a school test and see if I can go back to school. You know, it's so boring to just sit in my room all day doing nothing but growing mould on my backside. Who knows? Perhaps I might just…"

As Li Lanni chatted on and on with her arm snuggled around her mother's closely, she failed to notice the eyes blazing with hatred and jealousy a meter or two away.
