The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 55 - The Mafia King Bullies Lihua

"How do you know I got an exam?" Meng Ya suspiciously asked.

"Why else would there be so many notes and markings if not preparing for a test?" Fu Renshu dryly said.

"Yeah, I got an exam so what?" She grumbled and harrumphed.

"Did your dumb friend make those notes? They are not gonna help you much," he sneered.

"Don't call Lihua dumb!" She glared at him.

He ignored it and continued as an evil plan formed in his mind. "You can kill your remaining hope of passing the test based on those notes but…" Fu Renshu wickedly smiled, "I can help you."

---

Lihua, Wei and Bobo entered his house to start the decoration. Much to his dismay, Wei was disappointed with a certain little bun's intervention in his quality time with Lihua.

Bobo looked at Wei and smirked.

Hah! I won't let you do anything to my Lihua, you rich and evil capitalist!

Unknown of the war brewing between the adult and a child, Lihua was merrily checking the stuff as it had nothing to do with her. She brightened as she took out a small artistic frame.

"Boss! Let's put it over there at that wall! It matches with the color."

Hearing her sweet and excited voice, Wei softly smiled and nodded as he followed her. Lihua said, "Boss, you can hang it up right there!"

The hook was too far and with Lihua's height, it was impossible to hang the frame herself. Wei promptly took it from her and raised his arm to hang it. Bobo narrowed his eyes and intervened just at that time. "Oof Lihua! Do you want to waste time with every single item here? Let him do his job and we will look for something else to work on."

"Good idea!"

Wei - "..."

His gaze squinted at the Bobo and the child proudly smiled.

Hah! Decorate your house all alone!

"Stay with me." Wei pursed his lips, making Lihua's heart jump in her chest. His saddened expression tugged her heartstrings.

Ah Boss!

Bobo puffed up his cheeks. "Are you the child here or me? You are an adult! Can you not handle a simple thing like hanging a frame by yourself?" He snorted. "And you are the Boss of your company?"

Wei calmly looked at Bobo's challenging gaze and kept quiet. Lihua smacked on his head and said, "Bobo! I told you not to talk to him like this."

Bobo haughtily shrugged. He grabbed Lihua's hand and dragged her away. "Lihua, let's look at the other stuff. He will do this on his own!"

Just like that, no matter how much Wei tried to get closer to Lihua, little Bobo would always interject with his mocking words and drag Lihua away. Wei quietly watched Lihua having fun with Bobo and his heart felt uneasy as they continued decorating his house without the owner himself.

I was supposed to be the one on her side…

Lihua said, "Boss, let's put this flower vase over there."

"En." Wei dotingly focused his gaze on her. But once again Bobo didn't let him get even a second with Lihua.

"Ah, Boss Bobo needs my help there. I will be back in a minute!"

Wei calmly watched the duo leave. He quietly took out his phone and made a call.

At Mrs. Zhang's apartment next door, she was humming a tune as she prepared a feast for her grandson. "Hoho! Bobo will like this a lot! All his favorite dishes!"

Her phone buzzed and she picked it up. "Hello?"

"Take your grandson away."

Mrs. Zhang stumbled upon hearing the cold and detached voice of the Mafia King as he threatened her. "Y-You Jiang Wei right?"

"Take your grandson away," he coldly said instead of bothering to reply to her.

Mrs. Zhang began to sweat. Why is he sounding as if he wants to kill me?

"Bobo is with L-Lihua…" she wiped her forehead.

"That is the problem," his low and quiet voice oozed out even a greater sense of danger than before. "If you don't take him away, I will take him away myself."

"..."

Suddenly Mrs. Zhang realized something. "Oh-oh! Is Bobo disturbing you two?"

Wei said nothing and that eerie silence gave her the answer.

Maybe they want to spend some time together but because of Bobo he…It makes sense now!

She cried. She knew how much Bobo liked Lihua and maybe that's why he was pestering him even more, feeling threatened by their relationship.

"Haha...I will take him away right now! It's his dinner time anyway. Wait I am coming!"

*Ding!*

The doorbell rang as soon as Wei hung up the call. "Bobo! Enough play time! Come with me for dinner now!"

Bobo jerked his head towards Wei and looked at him in disbelief. Mr. Zhang's urgent knocking told him how she was desperate to take him away.

This evil capitalist planned this!

This time, Wei haughtily looked at Bobo as he narrowed his eyes. He said nothing, but the glint in his eyes was enough to say how he won.

Mrs. Zhang quickly stepped into the house. She coughed on seeing her grandson clinging onto Lihua while Wei was left alone to fend for himself. He shot a glance at her that was enough to express - 'He is in the away.'

She paled. Lihua blinked her eyes. "Why are you looking so white, Aunt? Are you sick?"

She nervously laughed. "No-nothing. It's very hot here... Bobo let's go. Dinner is getting cold."

Bobo pursed his lips. "Grandma. I am helping Lihua! I am busy!"

"She has Wei to help her. Kids shouldn't be out for this late."

Wei smoothly chimed in. "Indeed. It's not good for children's health if they don't eat on time."

You!

Lihua agreed. "Of course! Bobo needs to have his food now. You helped me plenty so now we can handle the rest," she grinned.

Bobo got more distressed. "No! I want to stay here!"

Mrs. Zhang quickly held his hand. "Don't be so stubborn! Let's go, Bobo," she gulped as she eyed Wei, "Haha...I apologize if he caused any trouble."

Wei's lack of comment convinced her that an apology wasn't enough. His sharp gaze clearly expressed how he was a huge bother.

Mrs. Zhang didn't dare stay any longer and quickly left with Bobo.

Just you wait, evil capitalist! I will have my revenge!

Lihua got up. "Boss, so let's continue?"

Wei raised his brow and watched her all eager and happy. He slowly stepped towards her, making Lihua wonder. Wei grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. His finger brushed along the lock of her hair, hovering in front of her cheek.

Lihua froze.

Ah? Ah? Ah? What is Boss doing?

"Will I get my attention now?" He tilted his head as he twirled his finger and entangled the lock around it. "I was all alone, you see…"

Normally, Wei would have dotingly smiled at her and continued with the decoration in peace. His biggest hurdle was gone. But looking at how Lihua seemed unaffected by Bobo's intervention and even as she enjoyed it without Wei, he couldn't let it go.

Something as teasing wasn't what Wei ever did. He never felt the need to tease someone because he didn't have that person in his life that could make him want to have a little fun that way. He didn't even know what it meant.

But right now, that feeling just naturally surged in him as if he wanted to bully Lihua just a little bit. Since he was troubled all this time feeling left out, he now wanted to trouble Lihua too.

Just a little bit though.

Lihua thought that she was hallucinating.

Why does the Boss look so different? And what is with this position!?

Wei tugged the lock of her hair, snapping her out. "You didn't answer me," His husky voice teasing her sent shivers down her spine. His thumb then gently touched the corner of her lips, making her beautiful eyelashes tremble. "It was supposed to be us decorating the house. Only the two of us."

Lihua gulped. There was a hint of playful accusation in his tone.

"Why did you let him in here?"

His penetrating gaze boring into hers left her speechless. She couldn't find her words to retort. "That he-he seemed eager to help…"

"Hmnnn…"

Wei leaned in until their noses bumped. With slow deliberation, he put the lock of her hair behind her ear that diminished any distance left between them. With her blushing face in clear view, he inspected her every inch as she averted her gaze. But Wei pinched her jaw and forced her to look at him, much to her embarrassment.

I cannot take this anymore! Lihua internally was running around back and forth, banging her head.

"Boss…"

Gathering her courage, she lifted her head to meet his eyes and the silent moment between them heightened with tension drew her towards him. She forgot to breathe as his playful expression, tugging his lips in amusement made her go into a trance.

From the back of her ear, his hand slowly shifted to hold her cheek in the warmth of his palm. The touch of his fingers on her cheek made her jolt. Their breaths mixed as he parted his lips to say, "He also calls you just Lihua."
