Chapter 81 - The Mafia King's Shocking Revelations To Lihua (1)
One month?
Of course, Lihua rembered that it had been a month today since they t. But why would he bring a cake for this?
Lihua looked around and apart from them, nobody else was present in this big mansion. She expected to see Shi Ruoi, his family and a lot of guests for the ceremony. But this wasn't what she had imagined. Confusion marred her face.
"Happy One Month Anniversary," Wei softly said as he pulled her closer to him.
Lihua looked at him, stunned. "You...you rember?"
"Of course. How can I ever forget it?" He smiled.
Hold on! What is going on here? Where is that crease woman? Is the engagent ceremony sowhere else?
"Today is a special day for us so I decided to do sothing special."
This was an important tip in the list of how to woo a woman and make her happy. Celebrate important dates with her and make feel special and cherished.
Lihua asked, her mind still spinning in a whirlwind of questions, "So-so this is it? You brought here to celebrate our one-month event?"
"En."
"Nothing else?"
"En."
She rapidly blinked her eyes. "T-then what about her?"
Wei tilted his head. "Who?"
"Your fiance. Shi Ruoi. What about her and…"
"Fiance? I don't have any fiance."
"..."
It was as if thunderbolt struck her hard from head to toe. "Huh? Don't have a fiance? What does that an? Today is your engagent ceremony with Shi Ruoi, isn't it? Then why did you bring here?"
Wei frowned. He recalled Fu Renshu crying about a similar issue. "I don't know what is the confusion here, but I don't have any fiance. There is no engagent either."
She was stunned. "B-But I t her in the store one day. A few days back! She was shopping for her engagent dress with your Grandma."
Wei stared at her questioningly. "You t Old Madam?"
"Not just her. Your father too. He was the sa man who I t in the supermarket that night! Didn't I say I t a man who looked exactly like you? He was Uncle Jiang!"
Wei narrowed his eyes. He had his suspicions that it could be Jiang Weizhe, but he had no reason to et Lihua because that ant he was interested in his son's life which he wasn't since his childhood.
"Uncle and Assistant Fu told that that crease woman was your fiance and that today is your engagent."
He blinked his eyes.
Crease woman?
Wei said with utmost sincerity, "She is not my fiance."
Lihua felt even more confounded. "But Assistant Fu said that you had agreed to this engagent yourself."
"No, I didn't. I don't know about any engagent."
Her mouth was wide open. "How is it that you don't know, Boss? Everybody else knows about your engagent. Today is the ceremony and you... Wait. Are you saying you were unaware of your engagent!?" She asked in disbelief.
"Yes," he plainly stated.
"How is it possible!? Did your family mbers hypnotize you or sothing?"
"No."
"Then how? Weren't you present during the discussion?"
"I was."
"..."
What is Boss doing? Agreeing and denying at the sa ti.
"Boss you were present when the discussions happened and you agreed to it. So how can you say you don't know about the engagent?" she sobbed. Lihua was completely baffled.
Wei furrowed his brows. "I didn't agree upon the engagent."
"..."
"I nodded my head for-"
He was about to say that it was her picture, but he stopped just in ti. He froze.
I cannot say that I found her picture on Song Jia's phone. We hadn't t at that ti, so Lihua will question how I got her photo…
Lihua asked, "Nodded your head for?"
"Sothing else. I was focused on a certain photo in my phone," he slyly said.
!!!
Lihua almost stumbled upon her feet. "So-so you just nodded your head in a daze!? You didn't actually hear what your family was talking about?"
Wei thought about it. He nodded. "En. I didn't pay any attention to them."
Lihua felt dizzy. She put her palm forward. "Wait, Boss. Let just digest this…This is too much for my dumb brain to understand."
So it was all a misunderstanding?
He pursed his lips. "My woman is not dumb."
"No I am actually quite dumb-" she froze and looked at him in confusion. "What did you say?"
"That you are not dumb."
"No. Say it exactly the way you said it just now."
Wei softly smiled. "My woman is not dumb."
Lihua was dumbfounded. "My woman?"
Wei smiled. "En."
"Who?"
"You."
Lihua was dumbstruck. "When did I beco your woman?"
Wei didn't understand her question.
Suddenly, Lihua had a bad premonition that there must be a lot of things inadvertently kept from her that she was unaware about. She felt as if she was stuck in a web of misunderstandings that spiraled out of control.
"B-Boss...why did you address as your woman?"
Ugh. Why do I feel that his answer would make faint in shock?
Wei tilted his head. "Because you are my woman. Because we are a couple."
!!!
She felt as if the whole earth shook beneath her feet and it would gobble her down whole. Her dizziness just increased a thousand folds. Wei widened his eyes and quickly caught her in his arms. "Lihua! What's wrong? Are you sick?"
He held her face and checker over her. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
"Haha...My brain is hurt."
Lihua couldn't decide from where to begin bombarding her questions on him.
Goosebumps tingled her hair on her arms and she asked, "Boss. How is it that we are a couple but I don't know about it?"
"Hm?"
She lacked tears to shed. "Boss, when did we beco a couple? Did I miss sothing? Do I have selective amnesia? Why don't I rember our confession? I am pretty sure I would have definitely rembered such an aweso mont! Wh-who told you that we are a couple?"
"Chang Fang."
She rapidly blinked her eyes. "Chang Fang. Wait, that gang's leader who kidnapped ?"
"En. He said that you are my woman."
"Huh? Why!?"
Lihua couldn't wrap her head around this revelation.
"Because I ca to save you. He said that only boyfriends who care about their woman would co and save them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have. He said that he wouldn't have targeted you if he knew that you were my, CEO Jiang Wei's woman."
Actually, it was because he was the Mafia King, but he just altered that small fact.
Lihua was utterly speechless.
What the hell is with this cause and effect? Who created this equation?
Wei smiled. "Not just that. I ca to realize that I am your man too."
"!!!"
"You took grocery shopping that day. You said that most of the crowd were couples who ca for shopping. I read on the net that couples usually shop together like that. You took with you, so it ant that you consider as your man."
At this point, Lihua had no words to say. Wei had assud too many things on his own. So part of it because others gave him wrong information while another part of it, he thought it to be true on his own.
So-so Boss was thinking of us a couple since that long!? And I had no idea about it?
"Boss this…this is..pletely wrong! This is a misunderstanding. We-we are not a couple."
Wei froze. He stared at her in a trance. "Not a couple?"
Lihua wanted to bang her head on the wall.
Ah, that leader Chang Fang! You! It is because if you that things escalated to this point! You fed all wrong things to my innocent Boss!
Sowhere, Chang Fang sneezed. "Achoo!"
Is sobody talking about ?
Lihua said, "Boss, didn't I tell you last ti that relationships don't work like that? You should have feelings for that person. You shouldn't treat as your woman just because sobody told you that. It should be because you feel that way. I took you grocery shopping because I wanted you to experience how an average life feels like. I wanted to show you how you can find joy even in the little things like that."
I an of course, I like Boss, but my intention wasn't to take you to make it seem like a couple shopping together.
Wei blankly looked at her. "But we kissed too."
Lihua furiously blushed. "I-I know, but it doesn't automatically assu that we are a couple. Again, you kissed because you wanted to," she coughed, "console . I was crying, right? You didn't kiss because you wanted to. Your acquaintance told you to kiss . So once again, you did sothing purely because sobody else told you to do it. But your feelings must be your own decision. Our actions should be based on how we feel, not based on what others feel."
Wei wanted to say so many things but it was as if he couldn't speak. He wanted to explain himself, but he didn't know how.
"You...are saying that you are not my woman?"
She stiffened. "I-I an…"
"Are we not a couple?"
"That y-you are thinking all this because you have been told like that. Your feelings-"
Wei suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her towards his chest. He held the back of her head and crashed her lips onto hers before she could say anything.
