The Mafia King's First Love

Wei stared at Limei and Xinyue with extreme grievance in his eyes. Seeing his daughter getting cozy with her uncle didn't sit well with him. He wanted her to love her father the most.

No. First, she should love Lihua the most. Then me, Wei nodded to himself. I am always second.

He sighed. He relented that he would only get his chance after everybody is gone.

Cheng Mei sat beside Lihua and quietly looked at her feeding Weiyun. She tilted her head and stretched her hand to adjust Lihua's fingers on Weiyun's back.

"He will be more comfortable like this," she stated.

Indeed, Weiyun looked more happy with that position.

Lihua brightened. "Thank you!"

Cheng Mei stiffened and then slowly nodded. Her gaze looked at Lihua which softened, bringing a soft smile to her lips. She clasped her hands together as she saw Limei with Mrs. Zhang and Xinyue.

Cheng Ling noticed his wife's gaze and cleared his throat. "Hey! You two have played enough with her. Now it's the grandparents' turn!"

He took Limei with, hearing a click from his son's mouth. He then happily hopped to his wife's side. "Mei! Look at her. Doesn't she look how Lihua used to when she was a baby?"

Cheng Mei didn't say anything but her flowery aura was enough to express that she was happy to properly see her granddaughter. She took the sleeping Limei in her arms and stared at her with aching eyes.

She felt as if she was back to the time when she held baby Lihua like this. It was a short time that always brought tears to her eyes. One day had changed everything, and she never saw Lihua again.

Though Mrs. Zhang was with her and took care of her as a neighbor, she always lamented that she couldn't go and meet Lihua.

Cheng Ling knew what she was thinking about and he lowered his gaze, clenching his fist.

Lihua hesitated and nervously said, "Um…"

Cheng Mei glanced at her questioningly as she softly cradled Limei.

"W-Will you teach me the tune you sang for Weiyun?" She didn't know why but her heart was thumping fast in her chest. This was the first time she was asking something from her mother.

Cheng Mei kept staring at her until her expression turned radiant. Her eyes expressed all the happiness in the world. She softly trembled. "Yes."

Lihua rapidly blinked her eyes and felt something similar striking her heart whenever she talked to Wei. She glanced at Cheng Ling and her eyes asked the question, 'Why is she so cute!? She is just like Wei!'

Cheng Ling nodded hard.

I know, right! Mei is the cutest!

Lihua alternated her gaze between Wei and Cheng Mei. She sobbed in happiness. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

My life is filled with adorable people! I am so blessed to have such a life!

Xinyue sneered. "Don't cry so much, little sister or it will be difficult to differentiate who is the adult and baby here."

"..."

A while later, Mrs. Zhang and Cheng Mei had to drag Cheng Ling and Xinyue out. "Come on now! The twins are sleeping and Lihua also needs rest. Let's drop by later."

Cheng Ling cried but understood. "Lihua, don't worry! We will come soon!"

Lihua chuckled. "Of course."

When they left, Wei finally got the time with his twins, though they were sleeping. They were sleeping so peacefully that Wei felt as if he could watch them like this forever. The brother-sister were snuggled against each other. Qingqing was also at the crib's side, watching the twins with her green eyes.

Wei smiled in satisfaction. He wrapped the blanket over Lihua and kissed her forehead. "You should sleep."

She pouted. "Where are you going?"

"I will just talk to Mingshen for a bit."

She nodded.

When it became quiet, Lihua felt drowsy too. She looked at her twins and Qingqing with a smile on her lips and went to sleep.

A few minutes later, the door and Qingqing's ears perked up. She narrowed her eyes and watched the person coming. The threat in her eyes eased up, and her body relaxed seeing Jia entering.

Jia smiled at Qingqing who was looking at her with danger just a few moments ago.

It's reassuring to have you by their side.

She glanced at Lihua, who was soundly sleeping, and smiled.

She then tiptoed towards the crib and leaned to see the twins. Her heart squealed and melted, seeing the two cute pumpkins of her life - her adorable niece and nephew. She felt an urge to cry, feeling warm and fuzzy in her chest.

She couldn't resist the temptation and gently poked their cheeks. She was afraid of them waking up but thankfully, they didn't. Their plump cheeks felt soft to touch.

Aish! You two are the cutest!

Jia wished to hold them but since they were sleeping, there would be too much movement, so she refrained. She softly sighed.

Suddenly, she heard a whisper near her ear. "Why are you so reserved, Spicy?"

Jia jolted and took a step back. She almost cursed him loudly but managed to stop herself in time.

Mingshen grinned as his eyes sparkled. "Spicyyyyyyy~" he whispered.

Jia gritted her teeth. "You…" 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

She wanted to smack him hard but didn't want to make noise and disturb her sister, nephew and niece.

"I will kill you!" She angrily hushed.

Mingshen ignored her threat and instead asked, "Why did you come so secretly to meet them?"

Jia stiffened. "It's nothing."

He narrowed his eyes.

"We will wake her up if we keep talking like this. I am leaving."

She passed by him, but Mingshen caught her wrist and pulled her back.

"You…!" She shot a deathly glare at him.

Mingshen stared at her. "You are their Aunt. You don't have to be so reserved."

She froze.

Mingshen leaned over the crib and lifted Limei, making Jia's eyes widen. "You will wake her up…!" She anxiously whispered.

Limei didn't. She was still in her adorable dreamland. Mingshen expertly carried her without disturbing her sleep at all.

Then he stood before Jia and moved forward to make her hold Limei. "Hold her."
