The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 22 - The Mafia King Fulfills His Acquaintance's 'condition'

Lu Jie walked towards her home cursing Lihua the whole time. Ever since her whole plan backfired of humiliating Lihua, she had become a laughing stock in the entire college.

The students sneered at her and mocked her as a disgusting, jealous woman. Moreover, their attitude toward Lihua had taken a complete turn since Wei confessed himself that they kissed.

Now everybody thought of them as a couple.

"Damn Lihua! I will not forget this! I will make you pay ten folds of what I suffered today!"

But unfortunately for her, someone had already arranged for that day to never come.

Suddenly, two men covered her mouth, grabbed her, and dumped her into a car. Lu Jie panicked.

What is happening? K-kidnapping?

Everything happened so quickly that she couldn't make any sense of it. Terror gripped her heart and she burst into tears.

"Hmpff!"

Her resistance was futile. The car already sped away. From the beginning to the end, nobody saw a thing.

At a faraway and deserted place, the car stopped and the men stepped out, dumping Lu Jie on the ground.

Her body was shaking in fear and she dreaded that these men might sexually assault her. She burst into tears.

"Let me go! What do you want? W-why did you-"

But before she could say anything further, the man on the left pulled out his gun and shot her in her head.

The rest of her words remained unsaid as a small hole formed between her brows. She didn't even realize when she died. Her limp body fell on the ground with a thud.

The other man nodded at him and dialed a number. "Boss. It's done. The woman is dead."

At the apartment complex in Lihua's home, Wei calmly heard his subordinate reporting him on the order given to them. In the kitchen, Lihua was playfully whistling a tune as she attempted to learn to make curry for dinner.

A few minutes back after her declaration to help Wei, he thought for a moment.

"So you will help me?"

Lihua furiously nodded.

"Do you want anything in return for helping me?"

"Ah?"

"In business, there is always give and take. You help me. I will help you. No transaction is one-sided."

Lihua touched her chin.

"I am not doing this to gain any favor…"

Though if you insist, will you allow me to date you?

This was what Lihua's track went off to as she grinned with drool on her face in her dream.

"*Ahem!* Boss. I don't want anything. I only want to wholeheartedly help you," she said with commitment.

Wei tilted his head questioningly.

"Don't you need my help with anything?"

"Nope," said confidently.

"I thought you would ask me to teach you how to cook and organize your house. At the very least some money. You are poor after all."

"..."

That was a critical hit to her heart.

Cooking, organizing, and money. He brutally targeted all the three areas where she lacked.

Lihua said with a pained voice. "Boss. This is your first lesson. Poking those things hurt me a lot so talking about them is banned!"

"I see. So will you learn them instead?"

Her mouth twitched.

She really wished to open his brain and see how it works.

But then a thought came across her mind.

"Boss, you will teach me cooking?"

"En."

Idiot Lihua! Isn't that super awesome! My Godly handsome prince will teach me. I will get to spend more time with him! We will become even closer!

So the whole notion of 'selflessly' helping him went down the drain pretty quickly.

So, right now, Wei showed her the easiest curry recipe. He was watching over through all her steps when he got the call.

Wei said, "Hm. Send her to his place."

His subordinates already understood that he was talking about his acquaintance.

Wei dropped a message.

'As promised, sending someone to your special room.'

It was the condition his acquaintance had told him to fulfill in exchange for Wei wanting to know why Lihua got angry at him. By today evening, that person wanted someone dead at his doorstep.

But Wei didn't know who to send and he got his answer at Lihua's college today.

At first, Wei didn't understand why Lihua was the center of attention. Then he realized that those students throwing paper planes at Lihua and laughing at her was all Lu Jie's doing. She had instigated everything by spreading rumors about her.

Wei also remembered how she made her trip and fall the first time. So, with the second incident today, he concluded that Lu Jie would always pose a source of trouble for Lihua which he didn't want.

So, it was the best option to kill her and send her to him. He got his target to fulfill the condition just at the right time.

"Yes, Boss."

Wei walked back to the kitchen, calm and composed as if nothing happened, and Lihua had no idea that Lu Jie was dead on Wei's orders for her sake. Just like that, her enemy was gone.

Wei saw her struggling and frowning as she tried to chop the veggies.

"You don't hold a knife that way."

He stood behind her until his chest almost touched her back. His arm hovered over hers and he held her hand, holding the knife.

Lihua stared at how his long fingers easily enveloped her small hand. As he leaned forward, his breath made her hair flutter, tickling the back of her ear.

Ahhhh!! So close, so close! God, don't make me faint okay?

When she raised her head, she saw that she barely reached his chin. Her breath hitched.

At that low angle, his jawline looked even sexier and his nose was more pronounced. She felt her cheeks heat up at that sight.

Wei lowered his gaze, sensing her quietness.

"Lihua…" His breathy voice sweetly echoed in her ears.

She saw him leaning towards her and his lips grew closer and closer towards her.

Ahhhh Is my Godly handsome prince going to kiss me again? But I am not crying…

She paused.

Who cares about the reason! Kissing is more important.

Lihua instinctively closed her eyes waiting for him to kiss her.

Same time at Shadow Eagle Base.

One of Chang Fang's subordinates came rushing in and kneeled on his leg. "Boss. That businessman said he needs more time to return the money we lent him."

Chang Fang was the leader of the gang, Shadow Eagle, who dealt in the loan sharking business.

He tapped his finger on the chair and smiled. "Cannot return our money? We gave him enough time. Now it's time to welcome him here and make him cough out all the cash...with interest."
