The Mafia King's First Love

As Lihua heard her voice, she stiffened on the spot. Her eyes slowly widened in utter shock, and the color of her cheeks turned slightly pale. Her irises slowly moved towards her, and she stared at her in a daze.

That voice…

Their gazes met again, and this time, Lihua looked at her, finally realizing why she seemed so familiar.

My cute dumpling.

It was Jia who used to call her by that nickname because she always felt that Lihua was cute and adorable like a small dumpling. In childhood, Lihua looked plump and chubby, and Jia always thought of a dumpling whenever she saw her. And that name came into place.

Hearing that endearment term brought tears to her eyes. But more than that, hearing Jia's voice again after months shook her hard. After so long, Jia was finally in front of her.

It was fortunate that Lu Bojing had already told her about Jia's truth, or seeing her suddenly alive would have definitely made her faint.

Though she still had a lot of questions in her mind.

Sis is with Mingshen. Then how is she with Li Dong?

How did Mingshen let her go? Did sis escape and Mingshen doesn't know about this?

Sis…It's really sis…

The iciness in Jia's eyes melted for a moment. Lihua recognized that gaze very well. It was the same love and warmth with which she used to dote on her. She had an urge to jump in her hug, but…

Jiang Zhen narrowed his eyes. "What did you say that made her cry?"

They immediately snapped back, and Lihua realized that she couldn't give Jia's identity out. But she feared if he doubted something by her reaction upon suddenly recognizing Jia's voice.

Jia calmly raised her right fist and said in a slightly heavy voice, "Hand over Lu Bojing or my fist will land on your stomach."

Lihua was speechless.

Li Dong whistled. "Oooh~ No wonder she looked so pale and started crying. A threat to the baby always works against a mother," he chuckled.

Lihua inwardly looked at Jia in reverence.

Si-sis is so cool! She already anticipated my reaction and acted accordingly.

Though it hurt Jia to say such cruel words, she had no choice. Very few people like Wei, Mingshen or her could remain impassive even after learning a shocking fact. It required skills not to leak your expression and immediate reaction. Clearly, she knew that Lihua wasn't the type to maintain her poise.

Jia 'coldly' looked back at Lihua. "Are you handing over Lu Bojing or not?"

Lu Bojing trembled while Lihua wasn't so worried anymore. But she pretended to go along with it.

"You…you are a woman, yet you could be this cruel? Don't you have any conscience?" She 'angrily' exclaimed.

"Gender is of no consequence to me. As long as it gets the job done, I will talk and do anything that is needed."

Li Dong clapped his hands in delight. "Bravo! I love your attitude! This is how you should be. Heartless and a bitch, ahahaha!"

Lihua wanted to slap him hard.

She pursed her lips and looked at Lu Bojing. She wanted to make him understand that he would be safe with Jia but…

Without letting her say anything, Lu Bojing vigorously nodded his head. "I-I will go…" his eyes were full of tears, and he had no intention of going with Li Dong at all.

But the blurry past memories with him were too dark and fearful. On one hand there was Jiang Zhen and on the other hand there was Li Dong. Lihua wouldn't be safe with either of them.

But with Jiang Zhen, he at least knew that he wouldn't hurt her until her baby was born. Whatever cruel things he had planned for Wei would be after the child would step into the world. And he held a strong belief that until then, Wei and Mingshen would definitely do something to get Lihua out of here.

But Li Dong was a crazy and maniac doctor. He had too many ways of torturing Lihua making her life hell.

Lu Bojing trembled and a tear plopped down.

I wanted to be with her during her whole pregnancy. I wanted to be there for her child…

Thinking about this, his heart felt extremely heavy. It was painful to part with her. Lihua grabbed his hand and harrumphed. "Don't cry! You will be with me and Qingqing again! And it will be soon!"

Li Dong yawned. "I commend your confidence."

She smiled. "And I commend your stupidity. If you think this will be Bojing's end, then you will be proved wrong soon enough."

Lu Bojing ruffled Qingqing's fur and tried to smile. "Take care of her."

Qingqing stared at him and rubbed her face against his neck.

*Meow*

My faithful servant will meet this Queen again!

Lu Bojing meekly followed Jia while avoiding eye contact with Li Dong.

"Well I have collected my package. Adieu!"

Lihua couldn't help but cry a bit by seeing him leave. She had grown too fond of him.

You will be safe, Bojing. Sis will make sure of it.

"Get inside!"

One of Li Dong's guards harshly pushed Lu Bojing inside. Lu Bojing pursed his lips, and he meekly looked at him.

"What? You wanna say something?" He threateningly took a step forward.

Lu Bojing jolted and scurried backwards. The guard was about to grab his collar, but a hand came forward and held his wrist. The guard glared at Jia.

"What?"

"Boss hasn't told you to hurt him, only bring him here. Don't be unnecessarily violent."

"Don't teach me, newbie!" He shook off his hand. He already hated her for a woman to join the gang, and now she was lecturing him.

"Know your place, woman."

Jia smiled in her mask. "My job was just to warn you as a fellow subordinate. If it's your wish to become Boss's research subject, so be it," she shrugged. "I won't stop you anymore. Go hit him."

That scared him a bit. He had upfront seen Li Dong in action, and it wasn't a pretty sight…

He cursed and left.

Jia stared at Lu Bojing for a minute. She was gauging if she should tell him about her identity or not…

He is quite shaken up. I will secretly talk to him later.

Jia closed the door behind her and left too.

Lu Bojing burst into tears and slowly sat on the floor, sniffling and wiping his eyes.

Suddenly, a voice came from his side that whispered, "Hey, you are the superman from that supermarket who beat up that burly goon!"
