The Mafia King’s First Love

Chapter 604 Just friends?

The Mafia King, Jiang Wei, was back.

Chang Fang, who was miserable for all this time and went around places as if he was a ghost, blossomed as if he got back his color.

”Boss…B-Boss is awake?”

His minions nodded their heads hard. “Boss is awake!”

He burst into tears and watching him cry, his whole gang wailed into loud sobs too.

”Boss…let’s go meet the Boss!”

He and his arch rival, the gang leader of Sparkled Water gang, started a race as to who will reach Mingshen’s lab first.

Back at the lab, the whole family gathered with tears in their eyes.

Mingshen, who didn’t like the crowd that just barged into Wei’s ward, gritted his teeth, fumes of anger bubbling out of him.

”This is not a freaking amusement park! Why is everybody gathered like a mob? When did I give this permission!?”

Yang Bingqing glared at her son. “Shut up! Can’t you see Yubi’s state? She can finally meet her son? Will you stop a mother from seeing her son?”

”I will stop the whole family that is barging as if a parade is going on! This is my lab!”

Yang Bingqing ignored him.

Veins popped on his forehead. Bojing gulped and fearfully approached him. “B-Boss…I think it’s fine. Everybody missed Mr. Jiang.”

Mingshen threw him a nasty stare that made him jolt. “Did I miss him? No, right? Do you see me turning crazy like that!?”

Bojing burst into tears. “Sorry, Boss. I didn’t mean to upset you…”

”Why are you crying now!?”

He sniffled. “Because I made you angry.”

Bojing then remembered that he had to go somewhere. “B-Boss, can I head out?”

He glared at him. “Why? Got a date?”

Bojing blinked and furiously shook his head. “No, no! I-I am going out to meet Z-Zexi…”

”Oh so your girlfriend.”

He rapidly blinked his eyes. “No. She is not my girlfriend.”

”Then why are you meeting her?”

”T-that ever since we came out of Li Dong’s place, we meet up sometimes just like that…”

Mingshen narrowed his eyes. “Which will eventually culminate into dating.”

”No, no. I-I don’t s-see her that way…” the tips of his ears blushed red for some reason. “We have become good friends now.”

It was after he killed Li Dong that he began to meet Zexi now and then. At first, they met because she insisted on returning his card and refusing his money, but Bojing had insisted.

”You should make a new beginning now, and it won’t be possible with all the debt. Pay out all the remaining debt if any and go to a good school,” he brightened. “This money will also help you get a good apartment to live in. A good home is also important to live a good life.”

”No! How can I take so much from you!? You are practically taking care of my expenses! I won’t accept it. I do need money, but I will get by by doing part time jobs!” She stuck out her tongue. “You already helped a lot. I cannot keep taking more from you.”

Bojing pursed his lips. “I see. B-But if you ever need my h-help-“

”I promise I will reach out to you!” She grinned. “Because we are friends now!”

Bojing was taken aback.

Friends…?

He didn’t know what to feel about this. Mingshen was his Boss and family while the other assistants in his lab were his colleagues. Lihua was like a sister to him. He didn’t have anybody who he could call his friend.

He had Ming in his childhood who followed him around Li Dong’s base. But it had been years since that friendship was lost.

He was even more surprised to hear this because Zexi had witnessed his flipped and dangerous side. The side he showed when he killed Li Dong’s guards in the cruelest way possible.

He thought that Zexi would keep her distance, getting frightened by this side of this and would never meet him again once she was rescued. Instead, it was Zexi herself who always wanted to meet Bojing and now she even declared that they were friends.

To think that she approached him with friendship instead of running away and acting like strangers fluttered his heart with warmth.

”Oh…”

Bojing beamed and then feeling emotional, his eyes filled with tears.

Zexi was speechless. “Why are you crying? I said we are friends. Aren’t you happy?”

Bojing sobbed and stammered as he wiped his eyes, “I-I am really happy…Very happy. I still don’t know h-how to be a good friend, but I will do the best I can.”

Then he pulled her and hugged her, making her freeze.

”W-what are you…”

Bojing looked confused. “Friends hug each other, right?”

Zexi coughed hard. Her face couldn’t help but turn beet red.

Bojing burst into tears again, feeling as if he did something wrong. “I-I am sorry! Did I offend you?”

”No, no! Of course not! You are right. Friends hug each other. I was just s-surprised…”

At that moment, she felt as if her heart had jumped out of her chest. His arms that had enveloped her waist looked so delicate as opposed to the time when he ruthlessly killed the men and tortured Li Dong.

It made her question once again if this Bojing and that Bojing were the same man or not.

She slowly hugged him back too, steam escaping her ears, feeling shy and embarrassed. Bojing, who really didn’t understand yet about feelings more than friendship, was delighted to be hugged by her.

Mingshen snapped his finger in front of Bojing’s eyes who seemed to be lost in the past.

Bojing jolted and stood in attention.

He scowled. “You’re getting too cozy with that teenager, aren’t you?”

Bojing shook his head in denial. “It’s not l-like that…”

”Yeah, yeah whatever,” Mingshen sneered. “If you have made plans to meet her, then go. But mind you. I won’t accept any relationship between you two!”

Bojing furrowed his brows.

”Relationship?”

”Relationship. As in dating, hugging, kissing, sex. Understand now?”

Bojing froze and he blushed furiously. He ran away, shouting. “It won’t be l-l-l-l-like that. Boss is s-s-s-s-s-st-stu-stupid.”
