Chapter 10 - The Mafia King Knows Lihua's Sister
After the dinner which went fairly well according to Lihua considering how she broke the record of the number of insults she got in a day, it was ti to wash the dishes.
"Boss, you already helped with the cleaning and cooking. I will do the dishes."
"Okay."
"Oh please wait. Please don't leave yet. I brought ice cream today to celebrate my job offer, so we can have so dessert too. Do you mind staying for a bit?"
Wei thought for a mont. "No."
Lihua inwardly jumped in joy.
I will get to spend a little more ti with him!
He went outside to wait in the living room. Since he had nothing much to do, he looked around. His gaze shifted to the wall where he saw a few photo fras hung on it.
Wei walked up to it and took out one fra into his hands.
It was a picture of Lihua standing with another woman; both brightly smiling in the photo.
He expressionlessly stared at the other woman for a long ti.
Song Jia.
A distant voice rang in his ears.
"Jiang Wei. Even if I die today, don't be so arrogant. The Mafia King's ugly truth will definitely co to light. One day for sure, you will regret killing ."
A tap on his shoulder brought him out of his daze.
"Boss, here I brought the ice-cream," Lihua grinned.
She looked at the photo in his hand and brightened. "Oh, you must be wondering who she is. She is my elder sister, Song Jia."
Wei quietly glanced at her and whispered.
"I know."
She blinked her eyes. "What? Do you know her?"
Instead of answering, he asked, "What does she do?"
I think I must have heard it wrong. How can Boss know sis anyway?
Her gaze softened and she smiled. "Sis Jia works in the cri branch. Hehe, I am really proud of her. She is an aweso cop and works super hard. She has solved a lot of high-profile and difficult cases. She is strong and just and I really admire her."
Wei silently listened to her talking about her sister.
She pouted. "But I miss her a lot. The last ti we spoke, she said that she was working on an important case and will be busy. That was about two months back."
"I see."
"En. She always takes so ti out to et up and chat with , but this ti, she hasn't even dropped a ssage until now. This is the longest ti that we haven't talked to each other yet. I just hope she is safe and well."
Wei didn't comnt.
He took the ice cream from her hands. There was a slight change in his voice as he spoke. But Lihua didn't catch it.
"Did she say in what case was she working?"
She thoughtfully touched her chin. "Emm...she didn't say much, but I think she ntioned sothing about a Mafia person."
Wei didn't react.
Lihua pursed her lips. "Honestly, I am a little worried about her. Aren't Mafia people dangerous? Sis Jia is tough, but sotis...I feel really restless about her."
She was surprised herself that she spoke so much about Song Jia to him whom she just t a few hours ago.
"Do you have another cup of this?" His sudden question snapped her out of her daze.
Lihua was surprised to see his ice-cream cup already empty.
"Oh Boss, you already finished it. Yes, I have another one. I will bring it right away."
Wei stared at the photo fra again. His unreadable gaze was difficult to figure out. He hung the fra back on the wall and calmly sat on the couch.
He texted Fu Renshu.
'Investigate Song Lihua and how much she really knows about Song Jia's involvent with .'
'Yes, Boss.'
---
The next morning, Lihua found a ssage from an unknown number.
'Fu Renshu here. Keep this in mind. Boss's identity as the CEO should be a secret until he lives there otherwise you are fired.'
"..."
She could understand that but…
Shouldn't you tell this to the Boss rather than ?
She ssaged him, but she got a harsh response.
'No asking questions. Just follow the orders!'
Lihua sighed. She hurriedly got ready and stepped out of her ho. She dreamily looked towards Wei's house.
Ah, it's not a dream. My Godly handso prince is really living right beside . I can see him every day...
"Lihua," Mrs. Zhang greeted her.
"Aunt Zhang!"
"So, how is your Boss? Is he alive after eating your food? I hope he didn't get a stomach ache," she sighed.
She coughed. "Well...it was a disaster, but everything got alright in the end."
Mrs. Zhang flicked her forehead. "I just knew that you will screw up sohow." Then she curiously looked at her. "So, so. Did sothing happen? Did you two kiss?"
"..."
She was excited like a typical gossiping aunt.
K-kiss?
She imagined that passionate scene and could feel her drool forming on the side of her lips.
That reminds . Boss's lips are so thin and pink. I wonder how they will feel if I touch them…
Lihua cleared her throat. "Aunt. That is too soon!"
"What? Nowadays, nothing is too soon for you young people."
Her mouth twitched. "A pace. A pace! I need to take things slowly and not just jump onto him."
She grumbled. "Well if that's how you feel. If you want any help or tips, I am always here. After all, your Uncle fell for my charms right away," she blushed.
Lihua giggled. "Aye, aye. Oh and I rember. Don't tell anyone that Boss is rich and about the Sunshine adows. It would be too botherso for him if everyone knows."
She nodded. "I feel the sa. Don't worry. I will not talk about it."
She kissed her cheek. "You are the best. Now, I have to hurry. Bye."
She looked at Wei's door and sighed.
"I thought I might bump into him, but ah well…" she lanted.
Mrs. Zhang tugged her bag and pulled her back. "Wait. I forgot to tell you sothing. Co ho early for the next few days."
She was confused. "Why?"
Mrs. Zhang worriedly said, "I heard so rumors of a man stalking young won at night. The won said that they didn't see anybody, but they heard the sound of footsteps behind them. But when they looked back, there was nobody. Goodness, it is so scary. That's why I am telling you to be careful and co ho early."
Lihua nodded. "I will be careful."
Just at that ti, Wei ca outside, handsoly dressed in his suit, and paused as he saw them.
Lihua greeted. "Boss, good morning. How did you sleep in your new ho last night?"
Wei recalled his painful experience. The bed was too small and he was too big that he got cramps in his back early in the morning.
"Sleepless night."
"Ah?"
Mrs. Zhang said, "It happens sotis when you just move in. It takes ti to adjust to your new ho."
Especially for a man like you who lived in Sunshine adows until now…
Wei glanced at her. "College?"
"Yes," she gasped in horror. "My bus! I will miss it! I have to run."
"I will drop you."
"Ah? T-that…"
Mrs. Zhang quietly nudged her elbow. "Why are you thinking so much?" She whispered. "This is your chance to get closer to him."
She smiled at Wei. "I think it's a great idea, dear."
Lihua coughed. "Thank you, Boss."
He nodded.
As they walked away, Mrs. Zhang said, "Lihua. Don't forget what I said about the stalker. Co early."
"I rember it, Aunt," Lihua said.
Wei slightly squinted his gaze at the ntion of a stalker and glanced at her. Then he looked away.
