Chapter 447 - The Mafia King Is Devious
Chapter 447 - The Mafia King Is Devious
The next morning, Lihua yawned and stretched her arms. After Wei slept beside, watching her sleep, Lihua didn't have any more bad dreams. Subconsciously, she was reassured to have Wei by her side, and she felt protected.
She looked beside her but didn't find Wei sleeping.
Did he leave already?
She clenched the bedsheet in her fist. It was always supposed to be like that. This was supposed to be the last night, after which, they would never cross paths again. Her chest tightened with pain.
But to her shock, their paths did cross again just a minute later when Lihua stepped out of her room. She smelled something delicious in the air and heard the crisp sound of something crackling and frying in the pan.
Wei was cooking in the kitchen.
"..."
Here she started her morning with a heartbreak, and here Wei was casually cooking.
"*Ahem!*"
Wei turned and beamed. He swiftly went to her side. "Good morning."
"G-Good morning," she peeked at the kitchen, "That…"
"Cooking breakfast."
"Oh. Y-you really didn't have to."
"How can I not? You must definitely be hungry."
As his answer, her stomach grumbled. Lihua covered her belly in embarrassment. Wei smiled. "Did you freshen up?"
She nodded.
"Then come. It's almost done."
Lihua was shocked to see a feast instead as she sat on a chair. "Is this... just breakfast?"
"Yes."
Why so much…
"I cannot eat this much."
He pursed his lips. "You should. You should eat a lot in pregnancy. The child also needs a lot of nutrition."
Well he wasn't wrong…
But when Lihua saw some beet and broccoli on a plate, her expression twisted in distaste. She took a little bit of everything except the beet and broccoli.
Wei's sharp gaze didn't miss it. He promptly put the beet and broccoli on her plate.
"..."
"...I don't like beet and broccoli."
"I know."
"So why put it on my plate?"
"Because the child needs it."
Her brows twitched unnoticeably.
The torture and sacrifice a pregnant woman has to go through for her child…
"Can we not skip it?"
"No."
She mumbled in grievance.
Wei was satisfied seeing her eat everything, even the beet and the broccoli.
"Lihua!!!"
Bobo banged on the door, making Wei grimace. The little rival was back.
Not only was Bobo, but Lu Bojing with Qingqing snuggling in his arms, were also present.
Lu Bojing was frightened and kept his head lowered. He could already sense the dreariness in the air by their intrusion. Wei definitely didn't like them intruding on their breakfast time.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! I am so sorry! He sobbed. I didn't want to come, and I tried to stop this kid too, but he didn't listen to me! Please don't kill me!
Bobo was shocked with such a huge feast. He suspiciously looked at Lihua. "You couldn't have cooked this."
Lihua gritted her teeth. "Why isn't it possible? I am very talented!"
"Not in cooking."
"..."
"You are talented in burning the house."
"!!!"
Her chest heaved up and down in anger. "You little brat!"
She grabbed him and ruffled his hair until they were a mess. Bobo saw her plate and frowned. "Why is the beet and broccoli lying at the side like that as if you are some rich and arrogant husband who ignores his mistresses?"
"..."
"Bobo, where did you learn so much vocabulary?"
Bobo looked proud. "I am very intelligent! So who cooked all these things?"
"Wei."
Bobo flared. "The rich, evil capitalist? Are you sure it's not poisoned?"
Lu Bojing choked.
This kid has some serious guts!
Wei coldly said, "You can leave if you are suspicious."
"As if I will!"
Bobo grumbled and as he took a bite, he couldn't help but make a satisfied expression. It was so delicious that he had his eyes shut, relishing every bite.
Wei smirked.
Lihua looked at Lu Bojing and coughed, feeling embarrassed. "I am sorry you had to take care of Lihua last night."
He furiously shook his head. He was more than happy to be with her. In fact, Bobo had slept in his house after playing with Qingqing to his heart's content.
Qingqing was tired.
Humans! I am not some amusement! I am the Queen! How dare this brat treat me like that!?
"I had no problems. I really enjoyed with Qing- *cough* I mean Lihua," he probed, "I-If she is here again, you can always count on me to t-take care of her… I would be more than happy to!"
Lihua chuckled. "Haha you two seem to have grown so close already."
He coughed. "Indeed…"
"But she won't be back. She lives with Wei," she smiled.
Lu Bojing pursed his lips. Of course, he knew that.
Wei kept his chopsticks on the table. "Actually, I brought her so that you can keep her."
Lihua widened her eyes. "...No," she clasped her hands together, "I want her to live with you."
She knew why Qingqing had chosen to live with Wei. If she lived with Lihua from now on, then won't Wei truly feel lonely?
But Wei had different intentions. Qingqing was a silent but fierce cat at the same time. He wanted her to protect Lihua and his child along with Lu Bojing.
As her agreement, Qingqing lept from Lu Bojing's arms into Lihua's lap, where Bojing was sitting. She squirmed behind him, making him laugh. "You are tickling me!"
Qingqing rubbed her face on Lihua's belly. Wei smiled. "She also agrees."
Lihua hesitated.
Wei asked, "If you don't mind, then can I come here to meet her sometimes?"
Even though this was supposed to be the last time, he slyly took his chance to get more chances of meeting her.
Lihua, who was already feeling guilty of taking Qingqing away from Wei, immediately agreed. "Y-yes!"
Wei didn't show it, but his excitement knew no bounds. At least this way, he still had hope of seeing her again. He nodded. "Thank you."
Lu Bojing could see the glint in Wei's eyes.
"..."
The Mafia King is....is so devious!
