Chapter 380 - [Bonus ] The Mafia King Offers Help

Lihua paused for a moment and then shook his hand. She stiffened and felt her heart skip a beat again.

His warm hand that had firmly held hers instantly reminded her of Wei. His hold was similar to Wei's. Firm but not crushing at the same time that always gave a sense of security to her. As his large palm enveloped hers, she couldn't help but feel as if Wei was right there in front of her.

I have to stop this...I cannot think about Wei all the time. We are already divorced now. But I am still unable to forget him. He is not Wei. Then why...

When will this torment end?

Wei froze to see her eyes slightly tear up. "Are you okay?" He anxiously asked. "Did I do something wrong?"

Meng Ya held her shoulder and worriedly said, "Lihua, what happened? Tell me. Are you sick? Should I take you to the infirmary?"

"No, no. This is nothing…" she laughed it off.

Meng Ya pursed her lips.

Was she thinking about Wei?

Lihua said, "I am fine. I am sorry. You introduced yourself and I...I am Song Lihua. Nice to meet you."

Wei felt relieved and nodded.

"I am Meng Ya," she smiled.

"Hm."

Lihua then glanced at Fu Renshu. "And he…"

"I am Hao Ziruo," Fu Renshu immediately recited his fake name.

"Oh. Nice to meet you too."

He smiled. "Same here. We heard that you just rejoined college today."

"Ah, yes. We had some... circumstances, so we missed the six months," her gaze seemed distant.

"So, we are the same, haha."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. We just moved to this city recently and had to leave our previous University. So we are kinda in the same boat as you."

Wei nodded. They had already created a fake story too.

Meng Ya grinned. "Oh, that's nice! Then we can fail together, hahaha!"

"..."

Fu Renshu inwardly grimaced.

Do you think everybody has problems with studies as you have? Don't compare your tiny brain to others!

"Yaya!" Lihua pursed her lips. "We will pass. I am sure of it. It's difficult, but don't lose hope."

She stuck out her tongue. "I am just joking."

Considering your not-so-bright academic record, that didn't feel like a joke to me... Fu Renshu thought.

Wei agreed. "En."

His eyes glinted with an idea. "I-If you need my help with the subjects, I will be happy to help you."

This way, he would have more chances to talk to her and spend a lot of time with her.

Fu Renshu was impressed.

Wow, that was a good move, Boss. Smooth!

Lihua was taken aback. They had just met, and she wondered if it was alright to already ask for help. Though she knew she would appreciate help in her studies, she didn't feel it was right to ask him when they barely knew each other.

"Thank you, but I will manage," she gratefully said.

Wei's shoulders dropped in disappointment.

"Really?" His tone sounded defeated.

"En."

"I see…"

Lihua blinked her eyes once.

Why does he seem like a sad dog?

Meng Ya said, "Hey, let's go, or we will miss our bus."

Lihua widened her eyes. "Oh yes!"

Wei asked, "You are not having lunch?"

"Not today. I have to work on some assignments."

Wei's shoulders slumped together.

There slipped his chance of having lunch together.

Aish, Boss has bad luck today; Fu Renshu inwardly sighed.

Meng Ya pulled her hand. "Let's go!"

But Wei suddenly held her wrist back. "Don't run!"

Lihua looked back at him. "What?"

Wei panicked because she was pregnant. If she tripped and fell, it would be a disaster.

Lihua stared at his hand holding hers, and he quickly backed off.

"I mean haste is not good. You might fall and hurt yourself," he said in a concerned voice.

"Oh yes," she gravely nodded. "I will be careful. Don't worry. I will not be running."

I cannot put my child in danger.

Wei said as they left, "She doesn't want my help," his gaze dimmed, "Did she realize that it was me?"

He shook his head. "No, Boss. Well...I think it's because we have just met?"

Wei tilted his head.

"That's why she might be feeling uncomfortable to ask for help suddenly. We are practically strangers to her."

"Oh…" he looked as if he was enlightened.

"So, we need to get closer to her. Like keep talking and slowly approach them, but it should look natural."

He nodded.

Then he narrowed his eyes and commanded. "Arrange the best PR professional from Jiang Industries."

Huh?

Fu Renshu looked confused.

"And arrange their job as a teacher here who will specially teach Lihua. She is short of time, so only the best person actually working in the field can make her understand the subjects quickly. Of course, she shouldn't know about it."

"..."

"But Boss, how can I arrange for a differential treatment just for Madam? She will definitely question it."

"That's up to you to decide. The excuse."

!!!

Why does Boss always like to put me in such trials!?

He cried. "As you say, Boss…"

Then he straightened up as a thought crossed his mind. "Boss."

Wei raised his brow.

Fu Renshu cleared his throat. "Can we also include Meng Ya for the special class? Haha, that woman is a little dim, and Madam might also wish to study together with her…"

Wei blinked his eyes. "Yes. She is also included."

He widened his eyes.

Woah, Boss had already thought about Meng Ya too? I thought this special class was only for Madam…

After all, whatever Wei did, it only and solely meant for Lihua.

"O-Oh. I see. You took only Madam's name so…"

Wei frowned. "I don't like to speak about other women. I will only talk about my Lihua."

His mouth violently twitched.

Wei looked away. It wasn't much, but he wanted to compensate Meng Ya for the trouble she had to go through because of his imprisonment order.

She said she had forgiven Wei, but he thought this was a good chance to redeem himself, even if it might be little and amount to nothing.
