The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 61 - The Mafia King Is Absent!

Wei somehow dragged his body and got a hot shower, but it failed to freshen him up. His mind continuously ran the scene of how he saw Lihua with that man last night and how she lied.

He stopped in his steps. "I will ask Lihua."

Wei was a very straightforward man. Last night, he couldn't wrap his head around her sudden lie. But he realized it was better to confront her rather than misunderstanding her.

He nodded and headed out. But no matter how many times he rang the bell, Lihua didn't open the door.

"Hah! You evil capitalist!" Bobo smirked as he put his hands on his waist. "You are late! Lihua already left."

Wei blinked his eyes and looked at his watch.

This is too early.

Bobo giggled. "Maybe you think how could she leave so early in the morning? I have the answer. Because she doesn't want to see your face! Haha! So you stop bothering my Lihua!"

He remained calm and impassive. But he felt a little disappointed that she didn't meet him. Usually, she always did before she left for college.

Watching the disappointed look on his face, Bobo felt satisfied.

Hmph. This is what you get for playing tricks last night.

When Mrs. Zhang arrived, she stiffened on seeing Bobo and Wei together. She hurriedly went over to their side. "Bobo. What are you doing outside?"

She was afraid that Wei would snap out at the little boy. She coughed. "Come with me. It's time for breakfast."

She smiled and greeted Wei. "Good morning, dear."

He didn't respond.

Her mouth twitched.

"Oh if you are looking for Lihua, she already left. This is unusual though for someone like her…"

Wei pursed his lips and went back to his home.

Bobo smirked. "He deserves it."

"Bobo!" Mrs. Zhang twisted his ear. "Don't be a bother to him. Children shouldn't interfere between adults."

She knew something was brewing between Wei and Lihua and didn't want Bobo to always disturb them.

He rolled his eyes. "Can you not teach me something new, Grandma?"

"You!"

Wei shut the door behind him and dialed a number. Mingshen rained the curses as he picked up. "What the fuck are you doing calling so early in the morning!? I went to bed just an hour back for God's sake!"

Wei quietly said, "Lihua lied to me last night."

"I don't care!"

He knitted his brows. "You said you will help me."

"Then transfer two hundred billion right now! Compensate me for my sleep!" He yelled from the other end so loudly that it would have torn apart somebody's eardrums.

"I will. Now tell me."

Mingshen cursed and got up. "Don't beat around the bush and come to the point."

Wei crisply recalled the events to him. Mingshen raised his brow in amusement. "That woman could be shy too? I thought if she kissed you, she would be ready to jump on the bed with you last night."

Wei lowered his gaze.

He chuckled. "So I guess she is still a maiden at heart. A shameless maiden. But she lied."

"Yes."

"Man, you fucked up."

"How?"

"What? Maybe she found you too aggressive by your 'sensual dance' and so she couldn't take it."

Wei blankly said, "You said to roll in sheets with her."

"Without her consent? Man, you are a beast! Haha!"

"Of course not," he sincerely said. "I will never do something that she wouldn't want."

Mingshen rolled his eyes. "That was your job to woo her BEFORE rolling in the sheets with her. You are so dumb."

Wei tilted his head. "Woo her?"

He had never heard of that term. This was new to him once again.

Mingshen lazily propped his arm on the bed and popped a piece of grape in his mouth. "Do you think a woman would agree to sleep with you just because you want to? Old-fashioned and worthless it is, but you have to win her heart to make her give her body to you."

Wei was in deep thought. Maybe Lihua got afraid and panicked by his sudden advances, so she ran to Mo Huojin's side. That's why she lied.

So it was my mistake. I scared her.

The corner of his lips drew downwards. He didn't like scaring his woman away.

I will rectify my mistake, he seriously nodded to himself.

"How to woo her?"

"Find that out yourself! I am not gonna spoon feed you everything!"

He abruptly cut the call.

Wei got his answer to one question but was left with thousands of questions at the same time.

How to woo Lihua?

---

At the main Jiang residence, the atmosphere was still and suffocating as if it was someone's funeral. But in contrast to the dark atmosphere, everybody gathered to talk about Wei and Ruomei's engagement which was supposed to be a happy event.

Ruomei gracefully sat between her parents. She lowered her head, feeling shy. Her mother, Shi Cuifen sat on her left while her father, Shi Zhen was to her right.

Ahhh I am so excited!

She was constantly eyeing the door to expect Wei to come any moment. She was dreaming for this moment for so long and now it was finally here.

With the ceremony announced, I will be officially Wei's fiance! I cannot wait!

The Old Madam was majestically seated on her royal chair. She was tapping her finger on the armrest in impatience. She coldly glanced at Fu Renshu who respectfully stood at a distance. Inwardly, he was panicking like hell.

"I hate lateness."

As the Old Madam spoke, a deadly silence reigned over the luxurious living room. She clearly indicated that she was mad about how Wei had still not arrived. The other family members were quietly watching the scene unfold. Making the Old Madam angry was never a good choice.

"I think I was quite clear in my demand."

Fu Renshu straightened up. "Old Madam. Apologies. But the Boss wouldn't be able to be present on this occasion."
