The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 404 - The Mafia King Is KO'ed By His Pregnant Ex-wife

Wei thought about it and nodded. He knew Lihua cared about him, yet he doubted her. Of course, she would panic to hear the news. But somewhere in a tiny part of his heart, he had really wondered if it would affect her, especially when he had killed Jia.

Wei looked at her hand and hesitated. Then he slowly intertwined his fingers against hers, carefully gauging her reaction if she would get angry and shook it away. But she didn't.

'Just agree to whatever her hormones are making her say,' was Mingshen's second message.

Wei inwardly nodded.

"Y-You are right. I am sorry…" he guiltily hung his head.

Lihua stared at him, and a dam gushed out of her eyes. "Y-You...you... really think I am dumb…No matter who said that I was silly, you always denied it. But-but…" she gasped, "now you also…"

Wei blankly looked at her. He couldn't fathom just when he called her dumb.

"I never called you that!" He hastily said, "you know I don't think like that-"

"But you just said I was right. You apologized!"

"Y-Yes…?"

"What was the last thing I said? That everybody calls me dumb. Then you said that you didn't mean it that way. Then I said that you definitely meant it like that and don't fool me! And now you apologized saying I was right," she sobbed hard, "Y-you you also... think I am dumb."

Wei was speechless.

His phone vibrated again with a message.

'Oh, I forgot to remind you that you will dig your grave no matter what you say. You are dead if you agree. You are dead even if you disagree with her.'

"..."

'Pregnant women are 10x more dangerous. Too sensitive. Too emotional. Especially in the first trimester. Welcome to the world of fatherhood.'

Clearly, Mingshen was enjoying Wei's plight.

"..."

Lihua cried. "First, the news of-of your injuries scared the hell out of me...I was getting all bad thoughts. And now you…" she sniffled, "You also think that I am dumb. You finally let out the truth…"

"..."

It wasn't that Lihua wanted to be unreasonable, and it wasn't that she really believed that Wei thought like that. But she was going through A LOT of situations all at once.

The sinking of her sister's death.

Her divorce with Wei.

The loneliness that came from losing two of the most precious people in her life.

Her heart was torn apart between love and hate for Wei.

The tight deadline of a month to pass her graduation exams.

Simultaneously, she was also worried about Jiang Shan's threat to the family.

And then she was pregnant.

Everything was taking a toll on her mental strength, and now this news was sort of the last straw to break the camel's back. She was getting it together somehow. She was holding it in, but then her will collapsed. The tears gushed out unstoppably.

Even a minor thing was like a trigger to detonate the stress within her.

Jia was already gone.

She really thought that she had lost Wei too.

She rubbed her eyes to stop the tears from flowing out anymore, but they didn't.

Then she felt pulled into a warm embrace. Lihua's teary eyes blinked. Wei said nothing.

At that point, he felt it was better to keep his mouth shut rather than say something that would make her spiral into despair even more.

His fingers simply brushed through her hair as he gently patted her head. His other arm squeezed her a little but not so much that she would feel suffocated.

Wei's smell and the familiar warmth seemed to work, and her sobs turned to soft sniffles. She had really missed his hug. She missed everything about him. She could hear his heartbeats in his chest.

Wei said after a long time, "I am alright."

She said nothing.

"You can hear my heartbeat, right?" His loving voice softly drummed in her ears.

"It was just my plan. I want the news to reach his ears."

Lihua knew he was talking about Jiang Shan.

"I am sorry."

He finally ended it with an apology for making her worry.

The emotions that had cluttered and crowded her heart began to settle down. The feelings that heightened her sensitivity calmed down.

Now she was truly sure that Wei was alright.

Lihua pursed her lips and slowly moved back. But Wei caught her in his arms again. She slightly jolted as she looked at him.

His gaze that focused on made her tremble.

"I am okay now. So you can-"

But those words could never come out as Wei tenderly pressed his lips on hers. Slowly and gently, he moved across her lips as he shut his eyes. Lihua could only sit in shock and feel the warmth on her lips. He captured and mingled and trapped her lips within his, not wanting to let go of her.

It was a sweet kiss, which left a bitter feeling when it ended.

Lihua pushed him with all her might. "You...You were not supposed to do that!" A tear slipped past her cheek.

"I missed you," he whispered. "I miss you a lot, Lihua."

She shivered.

Then she remembered Mingshen's words.

'Why does an ex-wife care so much?'

That filled her heart with more grievance, and she said nothing.

"I-I don't care. Don't do that ever again," she couldn't look him in the eye as she said.

She pulled herself on her feet and rushed out of the ward. She bumped into Mingshen as soon as she opened the door.

Mrs. Zhang quickly came to her side. "Lihua. Is everything alright?" She anxiously asked.

Lihua nodded in a daze.

Mingshen smiled. "Did the ex-wife and ex-husband have a good talk?"

Mrs. Zhang glared at him. "Why do you always say that?"

"Does it look like I am a nice person, Aunt?" Mingshen curiously raised his brow.

She felt a headache coming.

How does his mother handle him?

Mingshen stared at her up and down, and her complexion seemed to be a little better than before. However, her face was a little red.

He narrowed his eyes as he saw Wei standing behind her, his own face glowing a bit.

Guess they had a naughty talk~
