Chapter 58 - The Mafia King Is In Deep Trouble
Lihua's brain stopped working for several moments when it finally recovered as she felt the heat of his fingers tingling her waist. As if molten lava scorched on her skin, she felt hotter and hotter. She took a sharp breath. A red tinge of blush flushed her cheeks.
My first dance with Boss!
"E-En…"
Wei nodded, satisfied.
"But I don't know how to dance…" she murmured.
Wei leaned and whispered near her ear. His breath softly blowing on her earlobe made her shudder. "I will teach you. Follow my steps."
She blushed.
The room was set in the perfect atmosphere as the lamps dimly lit it. A gentle breeze brushed past them and the romantic music playing in the air made their hearts beat faster.
Wei elegantly turned his body, swirling Lihua with him. Their gazes were locked onto each other. He took a step back and smoothly guided her to take a step back with him. He did the same with another foot. Lihua watched him, feeling mesmerized. He was perfectly in tune and in sync with the music. His movements were gentle and fluid but firm at the same time.
So beautiful…
She felt as if his dance was a piece of art that she could gaze at forever. The warmth between them steadily grew and so did her rapid heartbeat. Every moment and every step seemed to be carefully planned in advance. Even if she didn't know how to dance, she was still moving in perfect rhythm as him.
But she knew it was Wei's doing. He made her feel as if she was floating in the air. Light and effortless. Nothing felt forced. Their breathing evenly matched.
Wei let go of her waist and squeezed her hand as he twirled her in a loop. But he quickly caught her again as if that one moment of letting her go seemed like a whole century to him. This time, he clutched her waist tighter than before as if he couldn't bear any distance between them.
Wei asked, "Like it?"
By that time, Lihua's heart was in a jumbled mess. "H-Huh?"
Wei slightly squinted his eyes. He bumped his forehead on hers. "Do you like our dance?"
His heat spreading on her forehead made her furiously blush. "Boss you dance so beautifully…I have no words."
"It's because you are with me," he sincerely said, striking an arrow through her heart. "This is my first dance."
Lihua was stunned. "You mean you never danced with another woman before?"
"I don't touch other women," he calmly said.
She felt as if she would faint with such overload of sweetness. "T-then what about me?"
Wei narrowed his eyes. He tilted his head and moved a little down. His nose slightly bumped against hers. He parted his lips that ever so faintly touched her lips. "You are different."
And then without further ado, he bridged the gap and pressed his lips on hers. Lihua froze. Her eyes unblinkingly watched him calmly kissing her. Fireworks crackled in her heart, making her unable to think. She could only let herself melt as his soft lips meshed upon hers. The heat from her cheeks spread through her body like a wildfire. Every passing moment turned his kiss fiercer and more passionate.
Once again, desire consumed him and from her lips, he slowly began to travel towards her inviting neckline, peppering soft kisses along the way. He felt his member harden as his breathing became uneven. The butterfly kisses on her neck tickled her and a soft moan escaped her lips as she clutched his shirt in her fist. "Ah…"
Wei froze. Her whimper accelerated the surging desire in him. His kisses grew harder and hotter. At that moment, he needed more. He wanted more. The growing heat was making him harder to control himself. "Lihua…"
She lowered her head to see his misty gaze that mirrored her own. Wei had completely claimed her neck, making it red with his kisses. Her eyes widened.
Damn!
"B-Boss…we shouldn't be doing this…" she gulped.
"Why?" He asked as he kept kissing her clavicle. She shuddered.
"T-T-The order is all wrong…"
"How?"
Shouldn't we become a couple first? She sobbed.
But poor Lihua didn't know that Wei already thought of them as a couple.
Wei tore himself from her neck and stared at her. A glint of hunger was evident in his clouded gaze. Lihua felt too embarrassed to say anything. She wanted to go on but not before their relationship was properly defined between them. For now she only wanted to hide.
She quickly took a step back. "I-I remember h-h-homework. Bye!"
Before he could catch her, Lihua ran away akin to the speed of light.
---
Lihua collapsed on her knees as she shut the door behind her. Her rapid breaths and heartbeat slowly began to calm down. She touched her neck and felt the lingering presence of his lips and warmth.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
She covered her face and rolled on the floor, trying to process what just happened.
"Damn it! That was incredible! I almost succumbed to him. Good thing Lihua that you snapped out at the right time. You are just his employee right now. This is not the time to eat him!"
She finally stopped rolling and peeked out through her fingers. "Boss is so sly. Who says that he doesn't understand feelings? He seduced me just fine!"
As she grazed her fingers along her neck, she thought of something and quickly got up on her feet. She stood in front of the mirror and her mouth formed a wide O in shock. Faint kiss marks were beginning to take shape.
Just as I thought!
Lihua bit her lip and blushed furiously.
"Tomorrow I will have to hide my neck in college!"
Lihua sighed in satisfaction. Their relationship was progressing smoothly even just as neighbors and as his employee.
"If this goes on, the day isn't far for me to confess my feelings hehe…"
Lihua leaned on the wall and a soft smile tugged her lips as she thought of Wei. She decided to head to sleep but just as she was about to walk away, her sight fell on the letter that was drying from the juice stain.
"Oh yes! I completely forgot about this letter."
Lihua picked the letter and found that it had dried up a little. "Phew. But is this really for me?"
She was in a predicament for a long time.
"Alright! Let's just open it anyway. If I don't see my name, then I will put it back and apologize to the person it's meant for."
She tore the seal and opened the letter. She coughed as she saw that the end of the letter was covered in an orange stain. "Damn...if this is letter is not mine, then I am in serious trouble. Ugh and its sticky too."
She sighed and began reading.
'To Song Lihua…'
"Wait there is my name! Thank God. It means that this is my letter," she rejoiced.
Lihua continued reading.
'I have no choice but to write you this letter with great urgency as the situation has turned grave. Circumstances don't allow me to meet you. But it's time you know about Song Jia and the trouble she is in…'
Lihua was stumped for a long time. She read her sister's name in a daze.
Sis. This letter is about sis!
Mo Huojin told her how there was no contact with Song Jia. But he had assured that it wasn't necessarily any serious issue. Now this anonymous person said that it could be.
Her heart thudded in nervous trepidation. She trembled and somehow she didn't want to read it further. She was afraid. But she took a deep breath and steeled herself.
'I apologize that I cannot reveal my name. But please know that I am working with Song Jia in this mission. Song Jia is in trouble. I haven't met her in weeks and I couldn't find any trace of hers even though we are undercover in the same house. That's why I need your help, Song Lihua.
I cannot get out of here or investigate too much without risking leaking my identity. The security is too strict. I urge you to meet Mo Huojin and find out about her. If the Mafia King has caught her, then we cannot delay. Time is of essence. The Mafia King is a cautious and dangerous man. You should know what kind of a family you are dealing with.'
She took a sharp breath.
'I don't know why, but Song Jia seemed to have a personal reason for investigating the Mafia King. That's why, you have to be more careful. That man doesn't just belong to the Underworld but he is hiding his identity as the CEO of J--"
Lihua couldn't read anymore ahead because after that part, the juice stain blurred the rest of Nuan's words. She widened her eyes.
"Damn the stain! Who is he? I didn't read his identity!"
*****
A/N - Lihua was so close to the truth. But will she stop here? Will she learn Wei's identity? What do you think?
