The Mafia King’s First Love

Chapter 401 - The Mafia King's Promise To Himself



Chapter 401 – The Mafia King’s Promise To Himself

As a father, he would never let a strange and irritating pest linger around his daughter.

Lihua awkwardly coughed.

Wei said nothing.

This time, Wei didn't challenge him. He looked at Lihua and smiled. "Thank you for inviting me."

Lihua quickly said, "Don't mention it. Thank you for the ramen meal."

Jiang Weizhe froze. His eyes clouded as if a dangerous storm was just around the corner. If looks could kill, then his icy stare would have already murdered him.

He took her to a meal?

"I am really sorry we couldn't talk much…"

Wei shook his head.

It was impossible anyway unless Jiang Weizhe was there.

Wei glanced at his father, who was glaring death signals at him, which he ignored and left.

Lihua came to the gate with Jiang Weizhe and kissed his cheek. He patted her head. "Take care of yourself."

"En."

"Don't work too hard."

"En."

"Eat and sleep on time."

"En."

"Don't forget to forget to come by."

"En."

"You can always ask me to leak the question papers."

"En-" Then her eyes widened in realization, getting caught in his trap. "Dad!"

He smiled.

Jiang Weizhe climbed into his car and left.

Lihua sighed. As she turned, she bumped into a broad chest. She was surprised to see Liangshi.

"You…"

He smiled. "I figured I can talk once he leaves."

Lihua guiltily said, "I am really sorry. Dad is actually very cute. He is the most harmless person you will ever meet."

Wei's brow twitched.

She scratched her chin. "But I don't know why he was like that today. He never acts that way."

Wei faintly understood his father's intentions. To him, Huang Liangshi was a threat who could possibly become Lihua's boyfriend in the future. He was a stranger who could covet his daughter. He could see where the worry was coming from. It wasn't a surprise that he would be so hostile.

"I don't mind."

"Thank you…"

Lihua fidgeted a bit. "I am sorry you got to know about my situation like that…It's complicated. I hope you don't tell anybody in college about this, especially about my pregnancy. I don't want any unnecessary gossip or trouble until I graduate."

Wei stared at her and nodded.

Even if anyone did dare gossip bad things about Lihua or their child, Wei knew how to handle them.

"I won't."

Lihua felt grateful. "Thank you."

Wei took a step towards, and she looked at him questioningly.

"If you don't mind me asking…do you still love your husband?"

Lihua stiffened.

"T-that's a personal question…"

Wei pursed his lips. "I am sorry."

"En."

"Then will you ever think of marrying another man to move on?"

"…"

When I say it's personal, it includes all those questions too…

She stared at him. "No, I cannot."

Wei blinked his eyes.

"Indeed, life will feel without him. Or it generally feels like that without a partner, doesn't it? I mean, how long will my child be with me? Maybe up to twenty-five to thirty years? Then they will find their love, get married and start their own life. It would get a little lonely, I admit…when I will get all old and wrinkly. But even if that is so, no other man can take his place in my life. It doesn't matter even if I hate him. I just cannot imagine my life with another man. Nor another father for my child."

Her beautiful eyes reflected a trace of sorrow in them. She bade him goodbye and went inside.

Wei remained standing there for a long time.

His heart burst into joy by hearing her resolute words. He didn't have to fear somebody else taking his place in her life. Even if she resented him, he would still be always irreplaceable.

But more than joy, it pained him to see Lihua so sorrowful. She had already steeled herself to live a life of solitude. Imagining Lihua living a lonely life in a small apartment by herself brought tears to his eyes.

I won't let it happen, Lihua.

He curled his fingers into a fist.

You won't be lonely. I won't let you. We will be together again. I don't know how I will do it. I don't know how I will gain your forgiveness. But I will definitely make it happen.

We will be together again, Lihua. You, me and our child. I promise.

Jiang Weizhe had an extremely cold expression when he reached home. Jiang Fai, Jiang Lanying, and Ruiling were secretly observing him ever since he was back.

Jiang Fai sweated. "Damn, Uncle looks so mad. He definitely met bro in his disguise!"

Jiang Lanying pressed her brows. "Now, what will we do?"

Jiang Ruiling gritted her teeth. "Stupid cousin! Is his phone a decoration!? Why didn't he pick our calls? Now let's go and see what Uncle is planning!"

Inside his study, Jiang Weizhe coldly looked at Fu Shen and said, "Report."

Fu Shen straightened up. "Boss. Here is everything about Huang Liangshi that you asked me to find."

He grabbed the file and studied it in detail. "Is this a coincidence that he is back in the city and the same course as Lihua at the same time when Lihua just joined back?"

"It indeed seemed suspicious to me too," Fu Shen said.

"I don't like him. He was eyeing my daughter," he impatiently tapped his finger on the table. "He even had the nerve to take her to a meal," his voice was quiet but filled with danger.

He narrowed his eyes towards his able assistant. "I don't care how, but deal with him. I want him out of this city by tonight. There should be no Huang Liangshi anywhere near Lihua."

Fu Shen nodded. "It will be done."

"If he makes trouble, then you know what to do."

"Yes, Boss."

"No!!!" Three frantic voices shouted unanimously.

The door opened, and the trio stumbled in one after the other. Jiang Fai followed by Jiang Lanying followed by Jiang Ruiling.

Jiang Weizhe frowned. "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ruling quickly said, "Sorry, but we heard everything. Don't do anything to Huang Liangshi, please!"

He blinked his eyes. "How do you know about him? And why should I not do anything? He dares have intentions towards Lihua."

Her mouth twitched.

"Uncle. Who else in this world will dare to court sister-in-law apart from cousin?"

He tilted his head.

"I mean that Huang Liangshi is none other than cousin Wei himself!"
