The Mafia King's yet another convenient misunderstanding

Wei asked, "You know him?"

"Ah? Who?" Lihua blinked her eyes.

Wei pursed his lips and looked downcast. He didn't know why he felt so affected seeing Lihua with that strange man. He detested that irritating feeling in his chest.

"That man you came out with."

"Oh him...he is-"

Lihua stopped.

Wait, what should I tell him? Mo Huojin told me not to tell anyone about sis Jia and he is her colleague. How should I introduce him…?

"...He is my friend."

Wei blinked his eyes. "But he is older than you."

"..."

"Who said that older people cannot be your friends? Plus he is not that old…"

Wei tilted his head. "You never mentioned him. It was only your other friend."

He didn't bother remembering Meng Ya's name.

Lihua coughed. "T-that we met after a long time so he just didn't come up in the conversation."

"I see…"

She nodded. Safe! Now before Boss asks anything else-

"How do you know him?"

Lihua looked at him, stunned. "A-ah that…"

"Where did you two meet?"

"How long have you two known each other?"

"What does he do? Where does he live? Where was he until now?"

!!!

Boss! Why are you shooting questions like laser beams?

She nervously laughed. "Boss it's so rare for you to be asking so many questions…"

Wei paused.

Indeed it wasn't like him. Impatience wasn't in his nature, but ever since he heard those women praising them as a couple, he started to feel restless for some reason.

"...Why did you meet him today?"

Lihua began to sweat under the pressure.

Why is Boss testing me like this? She sobbed. He seems different.

"W-well we met after a long time so he asked to grab a coffee together haha…"

Wei pursed his lips and seemed conflicted. Lihua felt as if somebody hit her with a huge boulder, seeing his pitiful expression.

Ah what is this guilt I am feeling…?

"Boss, did I do something wrong?"

He looked at her earnest expression. He parted his lips to say something, but then he remembered how she had gotten angry when he talked rudely about Song Jia. So, now he wondered if she would get angry again if he spoke something against that friend.

But if he didn't get his answers, how was he supposed to settle that uneasy feeling in his chest?

Their playful argument and teasing left him with a sour mood.

"Nothing."

Something is definitely bothering him, Lihua thought.

His expression didn't change, but his voice felt a little softer than before.

Wait, wait now is not the time!

"Boss! First tell me how did you hurt yourself? What happened to your cheek?"

"I fell."

"..."

He is lying!? Does he know how to lie? It is clearly someone's punch mark!

"Boss, tell me the truth!" She put her hands on her waist. "Did you get into a fight? Who was he? Take me to him! I will show him!"

How dare anybody punch my Godly handsome prince!

"Don't worry Godly- *ahem!* I mean Boss. Even with that mark, your beauty isn't affected in the least. So cheer up! And show me the man!"

In Shadow Eagle's base, Chang Fang sneezed aloud. "Achoo! Ahhh it's definitely Assistant Fu!" He sobbed. "He must be definitely coming here to kill me! I punched the Almighty Mafia King! He will bury me alive!"

Wei slightly widened his eyes. The irritation in his chest eased down with the way he saw Lihua defending and worrying for him. His sour mood turned into a good mood like a switch.

"What will you do if you meet him?" He curiously asked.

"I will punch him back!" She fumed and said indignantly. "I will take my revenge for you!"

At first, he froze. But then, a soft smile bloomed on his lips.

Revenge for me…

He was used to people following his orders. They did exactly as they were told. But he was unaware of the notion of somebody doing something for him out of pure goodwill or feelings. Where they weren't bound with any order.

This was unusual. This was his first time seeing it.

'Boss you personally came here to save her. You wanted revenge because she is your woman, right?'

Wei's eyes widened in enlightenment.

I see…

Lihua wanted revenge for him, too, just like how he wanted. The difference being that she just wanted to punch that guy whereas Wei straightaway killed them.

But the feelings were similar.

That means Lihua also considers me as her man.

According to what Chang Fang said, if you feel to have revenge and save someone, it means they were yours.

So I am Lihua's man too just like she is my woman.

And just like that, the innocent Mafia King fell into another misunderstanding thanks to Shadow Eagle's leader this time.

The soft smile on his lips widened.

My woman and her man…

Those words sent a fuzzy feeling in his chest.

"I like it," he nodded.

Poor Lihua got dazzled by his smile so much that her eyes began to hurt.

How is it suddenly so bright?

She was dumbfounded. "Boss, you are smiling...and it's even more awesome than the last time! This takes a selfie!"

Lihua quickly opened her phone camera and stood beside him. "Boss! Look at the camera! We mustn't miss this moment!"

She hopped to his side and they tilted their heads.

*Click*

Lihua dreamily stared at her photo.

My first picture with my first love! I will always treasure it, she grinned.

Wei said, "Send it to me too."

"Sure!"

As Wei took a good look at their picture together, he immediately set it as his phone wallpaper.

He thought for a moment and sent it to his acquaintance.

---

In the Yang mansion, an extremely handsome man with an extremely cold expression and a dark gaze was seated on the couch. His sharp features were breathtaking that could make women crawl up to him in desire and hunger.

The elderly woman beside him ignored the gloomy atmosphere her son was oozing with all his might.

"Mingshen, look. Ruomei has suggested such a good woman for you!"

Shi Ruomei, who sat opposite him, gently smiled. "Yes Aunt. I think she is a good match for Mingshen."

Yang Mingshen's bloodthirsty gaze fell upon her, but she seemed unaffected. He hated such proposals and discussions. If their families weren't close, he would have already dissected her in his special room.

"Before bringing a good match for me, try being a good match yourself for 'him'. You are his fiance after all. Sort out your life first before meddling into mine."
