The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 441 - The Mafia King's Small Surprise

Lihua rubbed her teary eyes. "For once, I can forgive for erasing my memories. For once, I can overlook that. But not killing my sister. No matter how much you try to stay close to me, I…" her fingers balled into a fist, "I cannot forget everything and live with my sister's murderer."

Wei's orbs turned blurry as he kept staring at her. "I know...I know. But it's enough for me if I can just watch you from afar. I know you don't want to see me. But when I saw a chance of staying beside you, I couldn't let it go. Even a few days without you seemed like years to me. I don't like it when it feels blank and void without you. I just wanted you back... even if it might be for a short time…"

How could Lihua deny her own feelings? It was the same for her.

Sometimes, even unknown to her, she wished that she would see Wei's silhouette somewhere. She wished she could run into his arms and kiss his lips. Even with Jia gone, her feelings for Wei remained. Unmoved like a mountain.

She lowered her gaze and whispered, "I am leaving…"

Wei stiffened. He felt a stifling sensation in his chest. Now he had no more reason left to see her anymore. His days as Huang Liangshi were over.

His breaths turned messy, thinking of watching her go. He took a large stride forward and hugged her back again.

"Please! Please don't go, Lihua…"

Lihua paled upon hearing his choked voice. It was clear that he was crying. His strong arms were trembling in despair as he embraced her.

"I beg you please... Please stay with me."

Wei felt the warm drops of her tears plop on his hand. He gently pressed her tighter. "Please don't be angry at me. I j-just wanted to stay by your side. I love you so much. I miss you so much. Please don't...go, Lihua."

"You…" she felt her knees getting weak. If not for Weo holding her, she would have already collapsed. "Why are you ho-hoping for the impossible…" her voice choked. "Please don't-"

"Please just tonight! S-stay with me for tonight…"

Her eyes slowly widened.

"I won't ask you anything else. I... promise I will," his wet eyelashes brushed against the nape of her neck, "I won't bother you after this…"

Bother...

Wei was never a bother to her. Yet his words made her feel as if somebody had viciously stabbed her.

"Please, please... please don't say no. I-I cannot see you again from tomorrow. Then tonight, just tonight let's stay together..."

Her lips parted, but strangely enough, she couldn't muster the courage to reject him. She thought she would immediately disagree.

But her heart painfully beat faster as if it would be akin to killing herself if she pushed him away.

If it was only her, she might have not given it a second thought. But she was pregnant. This was the most delicate time when her husband was supposed to be with her. But circumstances forced otherwise. There were emotions she couldn't control, and she felt herself falling weak.

Lihua needed Wei just as much Wei needed Lihua.

It was complete silence. She finally whispered, "O-only this time…"

Wei widened his eyes. "R-really?"

She said nothing.

His heart bloomed in joy, and he hugged her harder. "Thank you…"

"But you won't ask me something like this again. You have to promise me."

"I promise!" He held her hand and softly kissed the back of it, "I won't ask this again. I just want to spend this last night with you…"

Her gaze dimmed. With a heavy heart, she shook off her hand.

"I will quickly tell Renshu."

She blinked. "Assistant Fu?"

"Yes."

"Is he here?"

"Yes. Hao Ziruo."

"...."

She knew she shouldn't find this shocking, but somehow it still did.

This Boss-assistant pair...

Wei seriously typed a message. "Done."

"W-where are we going?"

That was a good question. Wei pursed his lips. He didn't want her to take her to Jiang villa. He felt his family would hog her for the whole night all to themselves.

Then when would he get the time?

Lihua's apartment?

He frowned. There was his little rival, Bobo. There was no way he wanted him to jump between their quality time. He immediately rejected that option.

Then where?

Wei got an idea. "I have a place in mind. Let's go."

---

When Lihua stood in front of the familiar mansion where they had celebrated their first month anniversary together, she didn't know what to say. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

This was the place where they spent their first night. As it was just just yesterday, she recalled how the villa was decorated entirely in violet - her favorite color.

What was more shocking was that the villa was just like how she had seen it the last time.

Everything was still donned in violet. Her heart felt a squeeze, and tears naturally fell.

Wei hesitated and asked, "Will you wait for me for sometime? I will be right back."

That took her aback. She thought Wei wouldn't want to waste a single second anymore. She didn't respond and simply nodded.

Wei left at a lightning speed. Lihua slowly walked along the corridors and brushed her fingers along the curtains and the flowers. Everything was still the same. Nothing was dusty which meant that Wei was still taking care of this mansion.

She looked outside at the garden where they had soaked wet in the rain. Lihua had pulled him into the foundation, glittering with violet light sparkling in the night.

That memory curved her lips into a small smile. Everything felt nostalgic.

It was after twenty some minutes later that Wei returned. Lihua was puzzled.

"Where were you?"

Wei's gaze softened. "Close your eyes."

Lihua hesitated but then relented.

"Open your arms."

She furrowed her brows. She raised her arms in the air. "Like this?"

Then suddenly something jumped into her arms, making her jolt in surprise.

*Meowww*

Lihua opened her eyes and stared at the cute, furry ball, who was looking back at her with her beautiful green orbs.

Long time no see, human! Lihua, the cat narrowed her eyes.

Lihua, the human, was so speechless that she couldn't gather her words at all.

Lihua, the cat, harrumphed.

I know you missed this Queen, but will you say something already? First of all, this man just dragged me from my warm bed and brought me here, and now you are mute!
