The Mafia King's First Love Chapter 374 – The Mafia King Wants To Know About Lihua

As Meng Ya went back to Lihua’s side, she quickly said, “I am done! Let’s go!”

Lihua stared at her and her slightly red eyes. “You…”

“What’s wrong? Come on,” she chirped.

Lihua wondered the reason behind the sadness reflecting in her eyes. But she was ignoring the topic, so she didn’t press on.

She smiled. “Let’s go.”

As they walked towards the principal’s office, Lihua slowly asked, “Yaya.”

“Hm?”

“The things you bought yesterday for my pregnancy…”

She almost stumbled in her step, but she braced herself. A nervous laugh escaped her lips. “W-What about it?”

Did Lihua figure out that it was from Jiang Wei?

She subconsciously wiped her forehead.

Lihua wanted to ask if those things and necessities were from Wei or not. They were all expensive brands, and she could feel that they were carefully chosen to give her the best. The only person who would do so much research would be none other than Wei.

Also, Meng Ya wouldn’t have the money to bring so much expensive stuff. A thing or two was acceptable but four whole bags?

Pregnancy had made Lihua even more sensitive, and her instinct said that everything was from Wei. Meng Ya was lying to her.

Even though she didn’t want any help from Wei, she couldn’t have the heart to throw the stuff away. But she decided not to use them either.

“…Nothing.”

—

Jiang villa.

“Wei, you need to eat something. This cannot go on,” Jiang Yubi worriedly stood beside Wei with the tray in her hands.

“I am not hungry.”

“For how long? You didn’t have dinner last night either. Do you want to make yourself sick?”

He blankly stared ahead. “Will Lihua come to me if she knows I am sick? Will she get worried for me?”

She trembled.

“Not worried, but she will get furious at you for treating yourself like this!”

Silence.

Lihua, the cat, hissed and scratched on his clothes.

This dumb human! Food is life! How dare you let such precious food go to waste? Who will take care of me if you fall sick?

Jiang Yubi kept the tray on the table and said, “I will be back in an hour. If I still see the food untouched, then I will feed you by force whether you like it or not.”

She stepped out of his room and met Fu Renshu along the way.

He anxiously asked, “Madam…”

“Do something, Renshu…” she sobbed. “He is not eating anything. He will seriously threaten his health if he remains stubborn like this. Ruiling and Lanying also tried before. But he is not listening to anybody.”

He lowered his head.

Her eyes shone in tears. “Renshu. Will Lihua… never come back? Is there really no hope?”

He couldn’t give any answer.

“She is the one who brought happiness and life back to this home. And now this house feels so empty without her. I cannot even imagine how empty Wei must be feeling. But still…he cannot compromise his health like this.”

Fu Renshu tried to pacify her. “Madam, don’t worry. I will see to it that Boss eats. I promise.”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

As he stepped inside, he saw Wei dazedly staring at something on his phone. He stood near him and saw that they were a bunch of Lihua’s pictures.

“Boss.”

He said nothing.

Fu Renshu looked at the tray. Lihua, the cat, narrowed her eyes and meowed.

Dumb human! Do something, or I will scratch your pretty face too!

The cat’s threat made him cough.

“Boss, if you don’t eat, then you won’t have the strength to work. We have so many things to do at the company and the Underworld. Jiang Shan’s threat is also looming that we cannot ignore.”

Silence.

Fu Renshu pressed his brows. It’s not like Wei didn’t know that there were pressing matters to attend to. He knew that as the CEO and the Mafia King, he had his responsibilities.

But with his divorce and Lihua gone out of his life, there was no motivation left in him. There was nothing that drove him forward. He was supposed to stay away from Lihua now, but it crushed his heart to do that.

Especially now, when she was pregnant, he wanted to be beside her to take care of her and their child and protect them from harm.

“Madam was at college today.”

Wei widened his eyes and jolted upright in an instant. “Lihua?”

“Yes. She was with Meng Ya at college.”

He jumped on his feet and grabbed his shoulder. “Y-You saw her? How is she doing? Did she look? O-or was she weak? What is she doing at college?”

If it was news about Lihua, he couldn’t wait to hear it.

“I didn’t meet Madam. Meng Ya told me over the phone. If you want to know what she was doing there, then you will have to eat.”

Wei cast a dangerous look at him. “Renshu…Don’t test my patience.”

He pursed his lips. “I am sorry, Boss. But I won’t say a word further until you eat. You can punish me for this, but I won’t back down.”

Gritting his teeth at his assistant’s stubbornness, he quickly grabbed the plate and ate everything that was there on it. He was done in five minutes.

Lihua, the cat, was pleased.

Good job, human.

“Now tell me,” he ordered.

Fu Renshu choked.

Are you really alright with stuffing so much so fast?

“Madam will be joining college to complete her graduation.”

Wei slowly widened his eyes.

“Then she intends to get a job.”

He froze. “B-But she doesn’t need to work! I will provide for her!”

“Boss, you know she wouldn’t take your help or money.”

That brought him back to reality.

“Next month is final exams, and she will be studying as much as she can to pass.”

“Only a month? How will that be enough for her?” He glared at him. “It would be too much to cram so much syllabus! She is pregnant too. I don’t want her to work too hard. No. I won’t let this happen.”

Wei picked his phone and dialed a number.

“B-Boss, who are you calling?”

“The Education Minister, of course.”
