The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 103 - The Mafia King\'s Awakening - Fear (1)

Lihua came back, bringing another bowl of soup with her. "Boss! Here is your second."

On the other end of the call, Mingshen chuckled. "Oh is that Song Lihua\'s voice I hear? How sweet. The Mafia King spent the night with some other woman while his fiance was waiting for him last night to put the ring on her finger. Spicy huh."

Wei\'s gaze darkened. "Not some other woman. My woman."

"Oops."

"I will be there in an hour."

His voice turned cold. "I don\'t have time today."

A dangerous aura loomed around Wei. "Then make the time."

He hung up.

Lihua asked, "Who were you talking to?" She wondered if it was someone from his family. "Was it Uncle? Or Old Madam?"

Wei stared at her. His mind was jumbled up in a myriad of thoughts and confusion. He gently pulled her and whispered, "Feed me."

Lihua got worried if it was really someone from his family and things turned too serious. "What happened Boss? You can share anything with me. After all, I am your girlfriend now. We should share each other\'s happiness and burdens," she seriously nodded.

Wei faintly smiled. "It\'s not my family. My acquaintance."

"Oh. What did you talk about?"

"...I need to go and meet him in an hour. It\'s important. You will stay here, right? You will wait for me, right?"

"En!" She smiled. "I will wait for you here. Important things shouldn\'t be delayed."

He said nothing.

"But first finish the soup."

A while later before he left, Wei anxiously hugged Lihua. "Stay here, okay? Don\'t leave. Don\'t talk to anybody either."

She was confused but patted his back anyway. "Why are you nervous, Boss? I am not going anywhere. You can be at ease."

He slowly nodded and left. Lihua saw his back and somehow felt that it seemed lonely as he walked. She didn\'t understand why, but his demeanor had subtly changed as if something was weighing in his heart.

"What happened to him? Isn\'t everything fine? But suddenly he seemed so…"

She couldn\'t put it into words. She turned and simply walked around the mansion. Since she had nothing much to do until Wei returned, she passed time on Wei\'s tab. Finally, she got bored by surfing too many videos on the net and decided to wait for him in the living room. She hopped on the couch and looked at the ceiling.

"I still cannot believe that Boss bought a whole mansion just for our anniversary," she shook her head and chuckled.

Then she had a serious concern. "Ugh. If Boss could spend so much for a one-month anniversary, what would he do for one year?"

She gulped, thinking about it.

"Ah, I need to tell Boss not to spend so much money next time," she sighed. "A small celebration is just alright too. The important thing is for it to be memorable."

Lihua didn\'t realize when she fell asleep while waiting for him. A while later, she felt someone gently shaking her. Her brows furrowed and she yawned as she woke up.

A Godly handsome face came into her view. "Boss! You are back. Oops. Sorry for dozing off."

Wei said nothing but stared at her with an empty gaze. She cupped his cheek and softly asked, "Is something bothering you? You seemed a little tense too when you left."

He slightly stiffened. He sat beside her and without saying a word just simply laid his head on her lap. Lihua smiled. "Boss wants to act spoiled huh? So cute."

Wei buried his face in her waist as he wrapped his hands around her back. "Lihua…"

"Hm."

"Lihua."

"Yes."

"Lihua."

She chuckled. "Yes, Boss. I am here."

Silence.

Lihua felt uneasy about his silence. Wei was a quiet person, but this seemed too unusual. "Boss, tell me. Is something really bothering you?"

Wei tightened his grasp around her waist. "...I am scared to lose you."

His voice was barely audible, almost a whisper. It was trembling and quivering, but he tried to hide his uncertainty.

Lihua remembered he asked the same question last night too.

\'Will you leave me?\'

"Why do you feel afraid? I promised that I won\'t go anywhere. I will never leave your side."

"But what if you start hating me?"

Her eyes widened. "I won\'t. How can I bear to hate you? You are the best man I could ever find on this planet. There is nothing to hate about you."

"...What if you forget me?"

She blinked her eyes and tilted her head in confusion. "Why will I forget you? You are here right in front of me, aren\'t you?"

"Still…"

She smiled. "Then I will fall for you once again. Simple."

He trembled.

"No matter what happens, only my sweet Boss is in my heart. Nobody can take your place even if I forget you."

Wei slowly raised his head and stared at her. He held her face and kissed her on her lips. His lips were slightly shaking as he kissed her. It was soft and she responded with the same gentleness.

They withdrew. Wei said, "Let\'s go."

She straightened up. "To meet your family?"

"Yes. But before that…" he silently curled his fingers into a fist, "we need to be somewhere else."

A few hours later.

She slowly opened her eyes and found an unfamiliar ceiling. Her brows furrowed and she looked around. She found herself lying on a bed with two figures standing beside her. One man sat on a chair near the bed. He silently stared at her but with a hint of anxiousness in his black orbs. The other man stood a little afar. His face wasn\'t visible as it was shrouded in darkness.

She looked at the man holding her hand with a shocked expression.

"You...Who are you? Where am I? A-and who am I?" Confusion was written all over her face. She tried to make sense of this strange situation, but she couldn\'t.

Wei looked at her with an unreadable expression. His gaze was void and empty as he stared at her.

"Lixue. You are my wife, Jiang Lixue."
