The Mafia King's First Love

When they stepped outside was when Lihua realized the main question.

Doesn't Boss use that awesome, fancy Porsche? So…

"Boss. There is no way you would have parked your luxurious car here, right? I mean not that there is any space in this narrow street either."

Wei glanced at her. "The driver will bring it here."

Lihua coughed hard.

"Boss, if everybody saw your million-dollar car here, they would faint knowing that you are a rich man. It will be breaking news to hear that a CEO lives here and I feel you would not want that kind of publicity…"

She could already imagine how bothersome it would be for a quiet person like him.

Wei thought about it. "It seems you have a point."

Lihua nodded.

"What do you suggest we do?"

She gave it a thought.

"Boss, you must have more than one car, right? Why don't you ask your driver to bring the modest car you have? Something that doesn't attract too much attention."

Wei nodded.

A few minutes later, Lihua almost fainted. The supposedly modest car was not so modest after all.

It was slightly smaller than the Porsche, nevertheless, it was a car that only billionaires could afford. It was a car that people like her would only see in the showrooms but just pass by through it. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

She speechlessly looked at him.

Is this your definition of a modest car?

As expected, the people walking around murmured and whispered among themselves seeing such a posh car in their area for the first time.

"Oh my, such a lavish car."

"Who is that rich person?"

They were even more dumbfounded to see someone like Wei. He totally looked like a man who came out of a magazine where all the popular models were featured.

Lihua felt everyone's stares at her as the car stopped in front of her. The driver got out and said, "Boss! I have brought the modest car we have."

Wei said, "En."

Her voice choked. "Boss, by no means does this car look like something a middle-class man would have."

His brows ever so slightly furrowed. "This is the least expensive car I have."

"..."

"Lihua!"

It was Gao Shui, one of the residents living in the same apartment complex as hers, one floor below.

Gao Shui was curious, looking at the crowd gathered in front of her apartment. She was shocked to see Lihua standing with a handsome man in front of a super lavish car.

Who is that man?

"Gao Shui," Lihua greeted and waved her hand.

Gao Shui alternated her gaze between Wei and Lihua.

"Hey. I just returned and saw this crowd…" When she looked closely at Wei, she felt her heart skip a beat.

"Lihua...who is he?"

Lihua didn't know how to answer. It would be troublesome if his identity as the CEO was out.

She recalled Fu Renshu's message, more like his threat.

How am I supposed to cover up an excuse for this car? She sobbed.

Gao Shui giggled. "He seems like some top boss of a company."

"No he isn't!" Lihua burst out, feeling panicked. Then she cleared her throat. "I mean to say that he is a really, really poor man…"

In this whole conversation between them, it was the first time that Wei finally took the trouble to turn his head. He quietly glanced at Lihua who told an incredible lie about him.

Gao Shui frowned. "With this kind of car?"

She nervously laughed. "What can I say? He is a really pitiful man," she gave a sad look. "This car belongs to his distant uncle. He works in his Uncle's company. But he is ashamed of him being so poor, that's why he sends his car to maintain his wealthy image. He lives a pitiful life, abused by his Uncle. They got into a fight and he kicked him out of his house to live here in our apartment. He just shifted yesterday."

Her mouth slightly twitched. She found it hard to digest that this man who possessed such an incredible aura could be... abused?

But since he didn't retort to what Lihua said, she had to believe it.

"That's horrible," Gao Shui looked at him and stepped forward. "Hello, I am Gao Shui. I live one floor below Lihua's home."

She smiled and put her hand forward.

Wei didn't respond. He didn't even react.

She awkwardly stood like that for a few seconds.

Lihua coughed and whispered. "That um boss...the handshake…"

Wei looked at her and parted his lips. "I don't like others touching me."

Gao Shui widened her eyes. Her mouth opened in shock.

"Ah...I am sorry…"

Her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

Lihua was dumbfounded.

Ah? fr𝚎e𝙬𝚎𝚋𝚗૦ν𝚎𝒍.c૦m

She recalled the time she touched his shoulder and then when she grabbed his pants to get up.

Suddenly, she could feel sweat form on her forehead. So, all those times, I actually pissed off Boss? But he didn't say anything!

She wondered why she wasn't fired yet. Then she shuddered as she recalled what happened last night with the water crisis.

If he was so serious about that non-existent culprit then what about me?

Is Boss actually planning to make me go through that punishment which the supposed culprit would have had?

Suddenly, she didn't feel so excited about sharing this ride with him.

Is he going to dump me to his S3 team?

Lihua quickly said, "Boss. I-I remembered. We don't have classes in the morning haha. So, I can take the bus. I won't be late."

Wei's lips stretched into a thin line. He blankly looked at her. There was a strange sensation he felt that he never did before.

He took out his phone and typed one message. Lihua couldn't see what he typed or to whom, but she was getting increasingly nervous.

Is he calling his S3 team to kidnap me now?

She alertly looked around as if a line of black cars and helicopters would come any second and surround her. Suddenly, the loud ring of her phone snapped her out of her daze.

Ah? Assistant Fu?

As soon she touched the green button, his loud voice screeched in her ears, making her almost deaf.

"Song Lihua! How dare you reject Boss's gracious offer? Step into the car right now or you are fired!"
