The Mafia King’s First Love

Chapter 434 – Entered The Forbidden Territory

When they came back to their apartment complex, Lihua insisted on treating Lu Bojing's wound. But of course, he vehemently disagreed. Treating wounds meant staying close to her, and he didn't want to incur Wei's wrath and commit suicide.

"Don't feel shy. I will just apply the balm."

I am not feeling shy. I am terrified!

His eyes teared up, and he instantly looked away. "No…"

Lihua said in a stern voice, "I won't listen to anything. You got hurt trying to protect me. This is the least I can do. If you disagree, then I won't call you for help anymore if I get into trouble."

He froze.

That was the worst possible scenario.

"No, no! P-please don't do that. You have to call me, no matter what!" He cried. "Y-you promised…"

"Yes. So, sit here and let me treat you."

She didn't hear any more protests and forced him to sit. Her gaze dimmed seeing the redness. It looked awful on his beautiful face.

She took some balm and raised her hand towards him. Lu Bojing stiffened and immediately looked away. Apart from Wei's conditions, he was never alone with a woman before, so he felt slightly embarrassed too.

"Bojing, you shouldn't have let that man punch you. These men only grow arrogant if you let them do what they want."

Lu Bojing trembled. "I don't like fighting…"

"I understand that. But you have to protect yourself too. You shouldn't let others bully you. Even before things turned violent, you apologized to him even if it wasn't your fault."

He bit his lip. "It just instinctively happens…I-I am used to apologizing."

Lihua wondered if it was because of his complicated past. Maybe he was always forced to apologize by taking advantage of his kind nature. Now, she felt even more protective of him.

She patted his head. "You have to stop that now. No more fearing others and no more apologizing! You shouldn't let others take advantage of your nature."

Lu Bojing felt as if that was the next impossible task after mingling in society like a normal person.

"Thankfully Wei came at the right time and beat the shit out of that man," she harrumphed.

His brow twitched.

It was me actually…

But I cannot say that.

Lihua was done. He peeked at her and asked, "Why do you…care about me so much?"

She blinked. "Of course, I will. You are like my little brother. And you are a good person. I am against anybody making trouble for them."

Little brother…

He felt a strange feeling enveloping his heart. It was weird but he liked it.

The feeling of wanting to protect Lihua grew only stronger with him for some reason.

Lu Bojing then anxiously asked, "Are you alright? Stress is not good for your and baby's health."

"Oh, I am fine. The one who came with Wei, Yang Mingshen, checked on me."

Then she grew alert. "Now that we are talking about him, I will say this. If you meet that man again, just run for your life."

His mouth twitched.

Boss…

"He is a crazy, psycho doctor!" She coughed. "I really thought he took an interest in you before…"

Lu Bojing shuddered hard in fear.

Please don't say that. It's terrifying!

"He is a devil in human disguise!" She gritted her teeth. "So keep your distance from him. That man is never up to any good!"

He gulped.

I am his assistant, so it's impossible…

Lihua sighed. "Anyway. I wanted to ask. What does your benefactor say about you always apologizing?"

—

"He is an idiot."

Mingshen smiled as he twirled the scalpel between his fingers. In front of him was the burly man who caused chaos in the supermarket. He was stripped tight to the bed, heavily injured by none other than Wei himself for threatening to harm Lihua. To be precise, his right hand was cut off from his arm.

Mingshen's dark eyes were unreadable. His smile was lazy but cold. He had stopped the bleeding. For now. He didn't want his entertainment to die so soon.

The man moved in his bed, but he was all tied up. "Let me go! What's going on? You already beat me up, right?" He cried hard in fear. He wet his pants in Wei's base first. And now he was on the verge of doing it again here. The atmosphere was just like how it showed in the horror movies.

"Well, that wasn't me," he chuckled with a dangerous ring to it. "You have offended two most powerful men in this world. That was part one of your punishment. You tried to hurt the woman. The one who cut your wrist is her ex-husband. Don't get fooled by the ex part. He is still and will always be very crazy for her."

The man shuddered.

"T-then he already took his revenge, right? So please let me go now!"

"Didn't I say that was part one? It means that there is part two too. By yours truly."

"I-I don't understand…"

Mingshen tilted his head and leaned. "Who was the one you punched on his face before you tried to hurt the woman?"

Of course, he distinctly remembered the feminine man, who punched his guts so hard that he could still feel his insides burning in pain.

"Guess you remember him. I understand. It's really hard to forget him, especially once he gets into his battle mode," he laughed.

The man protested. "He already beat me, so he took his revenge!"

Mingshen clicked his tongue. "No. He didn't take his revenge for punching him. He was merely doing his job that I gave him. It was to protect the woman. He did an excellent job as always. But the question remains."

The man trembled.

"My assistant is an idiot. Surely, I told him not to use his strength just anywhere. But if somebody gets the foolish idea of beating you, then you shouldn't hold back either. He never fights for himself," he smiled. "So the question is…who fights the fight for him?"

There was a sharp silence.

Mingshen picked a knife and pointed the sharp tip at the man's chest.

"You know you pathetic loser. I am extremely possessive of the things that belong to me," the smile had vanished from his lips, and the man could see hell coming down upon him.

"The man you punched is mine. He calls me his benefactor," he quietly said. "Only I am allowed to bully, hurt or kill him if I want. Nobody else is supposed to touch what belongs to Yang Mingshen. You have chartered into forbidden territory. Twice. Once for that woman and once for my assistant.. And now, you will pay the price for it."
