The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 100 – The Mafia King Finds The Truth Of Lihua’s Investigation (1)

Ahhh it was so amazing! Even though Boss actually threatened to stop many times, I am glad everything got sorted out in the end. I even called him by his name! So intimate.

Lihua was amazed at how bold she was last night. She saw herself under the duvet and found that she was dressed.

I thought I would be naked. Wait…I do faintly remember that Boss put clothes on me after the bath.

She grinned. She looked at her side and found that his side of the bed was empty.

“Huh? Where is Boss?”

Lihua imagined cuddling with him in the morning and saying sweet nothings to each other. She slowly got up. Her waist ached again, reminding her of how wild the night was. She got up and stepped out of the room.

Because of the pain, she walked slowly along the corridor. The question in her mind about Wei’s absence was soon answered as a delicious smell wafted up to her nostrils. Her eyes brightened.

Ah, Boss must be making breakfast!

She hopped right away, following the smell. As soon as she entered the dining area, Wei came out at the same time, carrying the bowls in his hand. He was taken aback to see her.

“Lihua.”

He quickly kept the pot and walked up to her. “Why did you come down by yourself? I was just about to finish.”

Somehow, she couldn’t meet his gaze after the night they shared. She turned shy and looked away. “I woke up but didn’t find you. So, I came to check.”

Wei pinched her cheeks. “You shouldn’t have. I read that it is painful for a woman the next morning after sex. I want you to rest, so let’s head back.”

Lihua chuckled. “It’s alright, Boss. I am here anyway.”

He sighed. He helped her sit and served the piping hot breakfast. Lihua coughed. “Boss, you made the dinner last night and now the breakfast too. I feel so useless.”

He shook his head. “I don’t mind. Also, you don’t know how to cook. It would be bad if you got into an accident.”

She coughed hard and widened her eyes.

The insult was so smooth that Lihua didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But in the end, she giggled.

“That’s true.”

She remembered about the ceremony last night and anxiously asked, “Boss, D-Did anybody from your family call you again about the ceremony?”

Wei said, “I don’t know.”

“Why not?”

“I had switched off my phone last night after I talked to the Old Madam and cleared the misunderstanding.”

Lihua was speechless.

“Renshu was already bothering me with his calls for a long time. I wanted peace and privacy and nobody to disturb us last night. I haven’t turned it on since.”

Lihua sighed. She knew it would be hellfire at his home right now. But whatever it was, she decided to stand firm by his side. After last night, it was now obvious that accepting her for Wei by his family members would be extremely difficult, maybe even impossible. They would surely blame her for causing this mess, especially Ruomei. Lihua already had a fair idea about her personality when she met her in the store.

“Honestly it’s not her fault either…” she mumbled.

“Hm?”

Lihua met his questioning gaze and said, “I said that it’s actually not their fault here. You were present but absent-minded when the discussions took place. Otherwise, this misunderstanding would have never happened. Boss, you should be attentive in family gatherings.”

Wei guiltily lowered his head. “I am sorry. I will be careful from now on.”

She nodded. “En. Shi Ruomei is mean, but I wouldn’t blame her for blaming me.”

At that, Wei instantly shook his head and sternly said, “No. I wouldn’t let anybody blame you. It was my fault, and I will take responsibility. I won’t let anybody point their fingers at you.”

The determination in his voice warmed her heart. “En. I promise too that I won’t let anybody make things difficult for my Boss any more than necessary. Especially your Grandma.”

Wei softly smiled at her concern.

“En. By the way, she is Old Madam.”

She blinked her eyes. “Huh?”

“Yes. We don’t address her like that. Everybody calls her Old Madam.”

“Ah? And Uncle Jiang?”

“Old Madam.”

She was confused. “Why? Isn’t she his mother? So, he should call her Mom and you should call her Grandma, right?”

Wei tilted his head. “No. It was always like that. We don’t address her based on our personal relationships with her. She is the matriarch of the family and as such, everybody is supposed to address her by her title.”

Lihua slowly widened her eyes, learning about this strange custom in his family. “That feels so distant. A family should be warm and loving. There should be no place for titles and positions while addressing your family members,” she grumbled, “That’s just too cold.”

Though Lihua felt sad, Wei couldn’t feel the same. He didn’t have any particular closeness with his family, so addressing as Old Madam or Grandma didn’t make any difference to him.

Wei patted her head. “You don’t have to worry about it. You are free to do as you please.”

Lihua giggled. “Isn’t she the Matriarch? How can you defy her?”

“If she is the Matriarch then I am the Ma-” he froze.

Wei stiffened. He realized he almost spilled out his true identity to her. He panicked and his heart thudded in his chest.

“Ma?” Lihua asked.

He silently took a deep breath and calmed down. Thankfully, he stopped himself in time.

“Ma… Matriarch’s grandson,” Wei quickly said, “I am the CEO of the Jiang Industries and as such, I have power too. I will not let anyone bully you.”

Aiya. I have definitely done some good deeds in the past! Thank you, my past me! She shamelessly thanked herself.

Lihua said, “Oh yes! Since we are talking about families, I have to tell this big news to my sis too! She will be so happy!”

Wei froze.

She laughed. “Haha! Sis will be so happy to meet you. I know she will definitely like you. After all, my Boss is so sweet and charming. She will be so proud of me that I found such a good man.”

He clenched the chopsticks and felt uncomfortable. At Song Jia’s mention, the smile from his face vanished.

She sheepishly grinned. “She might act sternly and be like “I won’t hand over my sister to you!” We lost our parents when we were very young. So, sis is like a typical father figure in my life. You know how fathers are so protective about their daughters, right? She will definitely act like that. But don’t worry. She is a softie at heart. She won’t pull your leg for much longer.”

Wei’s faint smile faltered and he looked away.

“H-Hm…”

Lihua sighed. “She is on her mission, so it will be a while before you two meet,” then her eyes brightened, “But once she finally deals with the Mafia King, she will be back! I hope that time comes soon!”

*Thud*

The chopsticks from his hands fell with a soft noise as they hit the ground. He slowly raised his head and blankly stared at her.

Lihua asked, “Ah, your chopsticks! Wait, I will bring another pair.”

“…What?” He quietly whispered.

“Hm?”

“What did you say?”

**************

*Mini theatre*

Lihua – “Tadah!! Boss, it’s the 100th chapter! Celebration time!”

“En.”

“My adorable Boss has come such a long way *sobs* Let’s thank readers for their wonderful love.”

“No.”

“…”

“But they are our lovely readers.”

“No. I won’t talk to anyone but you.”

“But they will stop supporting us *cries*”

Renshu smacks. “Dumb Lihua! Who dares threaten the Mafia King!?”

“They will surely leave us if we won’t be nice!”

“There is the ‘base’ to take care of them *evilly snickers*”

“…”

“Many torture tools too. They won’t go anywhere.”

“!!!”

“Also, do you really want to be nice to the readers? Many of them are plotting to take your place and disguise themselves as you to have Boss.”

“What!? *shocked* So many are after my Boss?”

Lihua to readers – “Hey! No eyeing my cute Boss! He is mine!”

Readers – *silence*

“Say something!”

“It’s an unwritten rule that the ML of any story belongs to everyone.”

“Wth! Who made this nonsense rule?”

“Us.”

“…”

*Pitifully eyes Wei* “Wuwu I am so jealous, Boss. Everybody wants you. They want to throw me out. What should I do? *Sobs*”

Wei – “Kill them.”

“…”

Readers – “…”

“Who exposed our plan anyway?”

*Renshu glances at author*

“Authorrrrrrrrrrrr…” *dangerously squints eyes*

*Author gulps* “Haha..hahaha. I-I remember I have an errand…”

“Come back, cheater Author! We gonna kill you!”

“Wei would have caught you anyway!”

“Shut up! Come here. Let us make an offering and sacrifice you!”

“Spare me please wuwu.” *Author furiously runs away from angry readers*
