The Mafia King's First Love

"Xinyue!" Ruiling couldn't express the relief she felt at this moment and neither could her heart stop thudding.

Tian Guo stumbled back in horror. "Who are you? Where is the guard I posted here?"

"Gone. Just like you would be in a few minutes," he smiled. He threw away the mask and took a quick glance at Ruiling. Fortunately, she wasn't hurt anywhere.

Tian Guo screamed. "Come inside! Shoot this man down!"

But it all fell to deaf ears.

Xinyue yawned. "Who are you calling? Ghosts? Forget about it. You and your father's fate is already sealed."

They heard gunshots outside and the sound of rapid footsteps and cars driving outside.

"Your cousin is just in time," Xinyue smiled as he looked at Ruiling.

Through the window, Tian Guo saw that the base was surrounded by tons of guards that didn't belong to him. From a car, two men royally stepped outside.

Wei and Li stood in front of the base, with Li's fuse short-circuiting quickly. "So where is that bastard? What's his name?"

"Tian Guo," Wei calmly answered.

"Yeah, I don't care! He fucking laid hands on my sister!" Li cracked his knuckles, clearly ready for violence. "I have some new tools waiting for him back in our base.

Tian Guo saw his father getting dragged out and thrown in front of Wei. He paled with the sight and gulped.

Impossible…how did they know of this location so soon!? They shouldn't have gotten a whiff about City X at all!

Unless…

He glared at Ruiling. "You told them! You are the only one who knew!"

Ruiling slowly got up with Xinyue'd help, kneading her wrists where she was tied. She sneered. "And you fell for it quite beautifully. You thought you could use me, but it turns out that you were the puppet in my hands. Now, you will have to pay for your crimes…" she gnashed her teeth, "Including for the innocent Yiyi's death. She will finally have her justice, you fucking psycho!"

"Zhao Ruiling!" He charged towards her to kill her in a mad rush, but he didn't know he was making the biggest mistake of his life with Xinyue by her side.

In a series of lightning fast moves, he broke his elbows and shoulders and punched him so fast that he couldn't see any of the hits coming.

He laid on the floor, writhing in pain. Xinyue placed his foot on his cheek and pressed it hard, making him gasp. "You wanted to marry Ruiling? Didn't anybody tell you that you shouldn't dream out of line?" He sneered. "To think you seriously had a future with her…I think Mingshen should definitely have a look at your brain."

The door opened and as Li saw Tian Guo's state, he clicked his tongue. "Damn you, Xinyue. He was my prey. I have so many tools waiting for him!"

Xinyue shrugged.

"Bro!" Ruiling rushed to hug him. She looked at Wei and grinned. "You came just on time."

Wei nodded.

Li narrowed his eyes and pinched her cheek. "Thanks to Xinyue's plan, we got him in time before he flew away with you. I didn't even know you got involved with this freak."

She coughed. "I am sorry, Bro…"

"You should apologize to Xinyue first. He had made such a mess of his house. When we learned you got kidnapped, he went totally crazy. The next in line to lose his mind was Dad."

Wei nodded.

Ruiling cleared her throat, and she felt sharp daggers piercing her back. She suddenly didn't have any courage to meet Xinyue's eyes.

"Well…"

Wei glanced at Xinyue and then at Ruiling. "Let's take him out first."

Ruiling furiously nodded. "Yeah, we should get out-"

She felt a chill with Xinyue's hand pressing on her shoulder a little firmer than it was necessary. "Let your brother and cousin do the cleanup part. It will take some time so why not we TALK until then?" fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

A gulp passed down her throat. She looked for Li's help, but he and Wei were already gone.

"..."

The door shut, and silence fell.

Ruiling wiped her forehead.

This is not good. He is so angry at me! And rightfully so!

When Tian Guo was acting all crazy to marry her, she realized what Xinyue meant by her interference. He must have known that he was a dangerous psycho who wouldn't leave her way. He had even killed a woman who had refused to marry him. Xinyue had every right to worry.

"Y-you see, Xinyue. It's not good to be mad at women you know," she was babbling nonsense, "I heard it reduces your lifespan."

Even she wanted to cough blood hearing her own random nonsense.

She felt his forehead collapse on her shoulder, and she stiffened. "Reduce? You almost ended my lifespan with your kidnapping."

"..."

I cannot deny that.

She sensed the tiredness but relief in his voice too and her heart ached.

"I am sorry," she sincerely apologized. "I understood what you meant by my interference in your mission. I needlessly worried you all. I am really sorry."

Xinyue looked up and frowned. "Why are you apologizing? It's my fault I acted rude to you. I should have explained about Tian Guo. Plus, I realized that you only wanted to help me, and I really appreciate it. I just didn't want to see you put yourself at risk." He scratched his head. "I messed up."

He made her turn to face him and scratched his head again, trying to find his words. "Look, I am not really good at these things. I only know how to work for my missions. I have spent my whole life training myself and trailing people as a spy. My world started and ended with intelligence gathering. I have never fallen in love before, so I really don't know how these things work. Confessions and all."

She blinked.

"I love you and I thought as long as I sincerely convey my message to you, it is enough. But apparently, my sister showed some romantic movies with corny confession scenes."

Her mouth twitched.

Xinyue's gaze darkened. "It doesn't help that all the men in our families have been too doting and warped their wife's sense of confessions."

Pfft…she chuckled inwardly.

Xinyue rubbed the back of his head. "So I don't know if I can give you the heart fluttering confession that you want. I cannot act cheesy. I don't know how to create a romantic atmosphere. All I can tell you is that I really love you, Zhao Ruiling. I want you to be my girlfriend and then my wife. It might not look like that from my face but…"

He placed her hand on his chest and asked, "You feel my heart dancing like crazy, right? It always does whenever I see you and even more when I say I love you."

Ruiling's eyes ached with tears, feeling his loud heartbeat that made fingers tremble. She jumped to hug him and whispered, "You already gave me a heart fluttering confession."

He tilted his head. "When?"

"When you talked to Tian Guo, silly."

'Yeah sorry to burst your bubble, but that right of taking care of her is only reserved for me. So take your fucking hand off her.'

'That's my woman you are talking about marrying but the truth for you unfortunately is that I am the man she is gonna marry, not you.'

Those words he spoke were so sweet that they tugged her heartstrings, overwhelming her with happiness. Her heart skipped beats and she felt her face flush, feeling the emotion that she only belonged to him. His gaze looked sharp but fused with his possessiveness that made her shiver.

"I already got what I want," she grinned. "I cannot ask for more. Xinyue, I love you, and I want you to be my boyfriend too."

She tiptoed and crashed her lips on his, biting them into a deep and hurried kiss. She felt his fingers grabbing the back of her head and diving straight into her mouth for an even more fiery kiss that took her breath away. She moaned as their tongues clashed and their breaths hinged together. Their teeth passionately dug into each other's lips, making them shudder.

As they parted breathlessly, Xinyue pulled her waist as he peppered kisses all over her face. "So it's official?"

"As official as it can be," Ruiling kissed his chin. "You know? Actually it's nice that you don't know how to be romantic. Because then…" she bit and pulled his lower lip, "I can slowly teach you everything about it~"

Xinyue raised his brow with amusement and leaned to bite her cheek. "Oh? Then I will be waiting for my lessons, my girlfriend. I am in your care," he smiled.
