The Mafia King's First Love

"But I am mad at you that you took advantage of this weakness against him!" Zexi poured out all her resentment against Mingshen she felt for ten months. "Do you even know how much it hurt Bojing to think you would replace him or that he wouldn't be able to work with you anymore? He was so terrified of losing you!"

Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "Difficult decisions need to be taken in the time of need."

"Why? You have no right to h-hurt Bojing like that…" she sniffled as her vision blurred with her tears. "You already know that he is an emotional person and in front of such a man, you-"

"Excuse me? I have no right? I have every right to treat my dear assistant I deem as the fittest," he sneered. "I found him when he was just a ten years old helpless brat, and I have raised him. I taught him how to control and use his strength. I gave him a house to live and a place to eat. Do you think I will be so selfless to see him ignoring me over a teenager brat he just met over a year ago?"

"..."

"He was beginning to spend more time outside because he wanted to meet you. So where does that leave me? My heartfelt apologies teenager but nobody in this world can hold more priority than me in his heart. Not even his possible future wife. So firstly, I wanted to bring him back on track."

Zexi blinked. "Firstly?"

Mingshen yawned. "I said, right? I was also judging you if you really deserve my dear assistant. I would have done it to any other girl too."

She widened her eyes. "W-what do you mean?"

He smiled. "That boy Ming who confessed to you. He told me an annoying story once. How there was a little girl in the orphanage who lived with them. She had made a bet with her friends that she would make Bojing believe that she likes him. It was a joke she wanted to play on him."

Zexi gritted her teeth.

A bet that hurt Bojing!? That is so cruel!

"She approached him and talked sweetly to him. My idiot dear assistant at that time was so happy to see that he got a new friend. He took it very seriously that that girl liked him, and he spent days figuring out what he should do. In the end, he shyly decided to say yes and prepared a small gift for her. But the girl and her group obviously laughed and mocked Bojing for falling for the trick."

Tears pooled in Zexi's eyes thinking of a little Bojing betrayed and being made fun of.

Mingshen leaned and asked in a deadly cold voice, "Can you guess the pain it caused my dear assistant? Ming said how he didn't eat for days. He used to silently cry in his blanket. Ming used to hear his sniffles."

Zexi's balled her first, heart burning with anger. "How could anybody do this to Bojing…How could she play with his feelings like that? If I meet that girl ever again, I will slap the shit out of her!"

Mingshen leaned back on his seat with pride. "I already took care of that."

"Huh?"

"When all the brats were rescued from Li Dong's lab after he fled, I had to do something about them along the lines of dropping them into a proper orphanage or seeing to it if they could get adopted by families. Ming was sent to recuperate in another hospital of the Yang family. I took Bojing in. Other brats were sent to real orphanages this time. But when I heard the story from Ming, I thought, 'How could I let that bully girl go just like that who troubled a member of the Yang family?'"

Zexi didn't know why, but she swallowed her saliva for some reason. 𝐟𝐫𝗲𝙚ｗ𝚎𝐛𝙣𝐨𝙫𝘦𝗹.c૦m

I suddenly feel chilly…

An evil laughter rang in the air. "So I made a bad family adopt her. A family I knew would not treat her well."

"..."

Zexi watched him with her jaw dropped. "Y-you seriously did that…?"

"So? Will you say that she was a child? Don't give me that bullshit. She was old enough to hurt, bully and fool somebody else. If she didn't want to act like a child, why should I treat her like one? A bully never understands what bullying actually means until he himself is bullied by someone stronger than him. That's how the siblings in her new family treated her. The bully became the victim now," he smiled. "Nice transition, right?"

S-so evil…

"And not just her. Even the other brats who ill-treated Bojing, I made sure they wouldn't live a comfortable life. Even now, all these kids who needlessly bullied Bojing, are not happily living their lives with their new families," he chuckled. "They are suffering. Did they think that they will live a new and good life after getting rescued from Li Dong's lab?"

He tilted his head. "Surely, it was a new life. Experience bullying and live as a victim. But a good life? Not a chance. Bojing had the strength to fight them back and teach them a lesson, but that idiot didn't use it to his advantage. So, I took revenge on his behalf. He is too soft, so I fight the battles that he can't. So…now, I come to you."

Zexi felt a chill run in the back of her spine. "Me? I never bullied Bojing! I can never even think about it! I like Bojing and I will never mistreat him-"

"You like my dear assistant but for how long?" He raised his brow. "How long can you keep loving him? Is there an expiry date to your love? That's what I wanted to see. I know how he is. If he sincerely likes you, he will keep loving you for the rest of his life. You will be the only girl in his heart. But will he be the only man in your heart?" He narrowed his eyes. "If you are separated, if you don't see any hope of getting together with Bojing, will you still love him until the very end?"
