The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 396 - The Mafia King's Ramen Date

Mo Huojin came in a minute later Lihua left. He saw Wei drooping his head in grief and clenching his fists. He sat where Lihua was just a moment ago and stared at him.

"Guess you didn't tell her anything. I could gauge it from her expression."

His jaw tightened. "She looked hurt?"

"A little."

Silence.

Mo Huojin stared at the man before him who looked heartbroken. He had never imagined that Wei would contact him for staging his arrest. He heard all about Jiang Shan and his family.

Of course, Wei hadn't expected that Mo Huojin and Xia Nuan would help him after what happened. But it was a win-win situation for them.

They were cops. Jiang Shan's Underworld activities were far too grotesque and criminal. And they were planning to come to China and usurp Wei from his throne. If they cooperated with Wei, they would be able to nab the most dangerous criminal who fled from China years ago.

So Wei told all about his plan where he needed cops' cooperation for his arrest. He needed to make it seem real. When Lihua said that she wanted to visit Wei, he hurriedly messaged Mo Huojin to make all the arrangements and Huang Liangshi disguised himself as Wei in front of Lihua.

Mo Huojin said, "Lihua is waiting for you outside. For 'Huang Liangshi.'"

He never believed that after their divorce, Wei would think of an idea like this to stay closer to Lihua. He wanted to be angry at him for fooling Lihua like this. Xia Nuan definitely was. But in the end, he felt helpless.

Xia Nuan wanted to protest, but Wei had directly threatened her that if she spilled anything to Lihua, he would seriously make her career and life miserable. He was really desperate. Lihua was already furious at him. She had already separated from him.

Wei didn't want any more of anybody interfering in their lives.

Wei immediately straightened up. "She must be waiting for me…"

Mo Huojin said, "Do you really think this is gonna work? Your disguise?"

Wei stopped in his steps. He quietly said, "I don't know. I am not thinking about anything for now. Not even forgiveness. I just want to stay close to Lihua. That's all."

"She will be angry if she comes to know about it."

Wei pursed his lips. "I will bang my head on the ground to apologize."

His mouth twitched.

"I will be back in jail in the evening."

Mo Huojin raised his brow. "Isn't it just acting?" He asked even though he knew the answer.

Wei turned and looked at him. "It needs to be real at times. I expect a visit in jail."

He said nothing.

Lihua stood in a daze when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She looked back and saw Huang Liangshi standing behind her.

"I am sorry it got late."

She faintly smiled. "No problem."

Wei hesitated and asked, "What happened? You seem a little sad."

"It's nothing."

Wei pursed his lips.

"Is your work here over?"

She paused. "Not really...But it doesn't matter. I wasn't really needed here, after all. Now I feel stupid for rushing here."

Wei stiffened. "I…"

"Hm?"

Wei clenched his fist and wanted to tell her that he didn't want to hide anything from her and hurt her. But he wasn't in any position to tell her that. He was Huang Liangshi now.

"...Nothing. Do you want to go back to college?"

"No. I will go back home."

He nodded. "Let's go together."

She was quiet along the way which Wei really didn't like. Sitting in the cab, Wei anxiously glanced at Lihua from time to time, who seemed to stare out of the window.

Wei wanted to cheer her up. So, he instinctively dropped a message to Mingshen.

'Lihua is sad.'

No response for two whole minutes. Then a ding.

'Congratulations Mafia King. You finally realized that she is sad. You just went through a divorce, but it seems like your tubelight just lit up to realize that everything happened because she is sad. Or maybe you want to waste my time by telling rotten news that has gotten so way too old that it's not even news anymore. Are you pulling my leg? Are you mocking me? You will have a heavy penalty to pay for this.'

Wei - "..."

Then a ding again.

'Now if you ask me why she must be feeling sad, then don't waste your time and directly get admitted into my lab. I have newly bought some 'special tools' that are just perfect to cut your brain.'

Wei typed and explained the issue at hand.

'Use your brain then. She is pregnant and she is a woman. Food always makes a woman happy no matter what time of day it is. Even if the world ends, she will look for food. A woman always wants to eat. My mom is the best example. So stuff her stomach with lots of delicious food. Don't bother with me your stupid questions again. Your pregnant wife is really dangerous when I ask for my hard-earned money.'

Then Mingshen went offline.

Wei was surprised to know that for the first time in history, Mingshen didn't spell a price for helping him.

Wei asked Jiang Lanying too to get a second opinion.

'Lihua is sad? Give her food! It always works!'

Wei nodded.

He immediately set to find the best restaurant. But then he remembered that he was not the wealthy Jiang Wei.

He grimaced and had to settle for looking average restaurants that would suit his current disguise.

Wei asked the cab driver to take him to a certain address.

Lihua asked, "Where are we going?"

He smiled. "You will see."

The cab stopped. Lihua stepped out and instantly, the strong smell of ramen wafted up her nostrils.

*Grooowl*

Lihua stared at him, stupefied. "How did you know that I wanted to eat ramen?"

Wei smiled, feeling satisfied. "I thought you will be hungry. So, I brought you here."

Since morning, Lihua had a strong urge to eat something delicious and a little spicy food. A bowl of warm ramen with the tasty soup was just what she craved.

Her face brightened as if she was the happiest woman on the planet right now.. "You are awesome! It's as if you can read my mind."
