Shi Ruomei chuckled. "We are a good match already."
Yang Mingshen raised his brow.
"How many times has he called you? How many times has he received your call?"
She pouted. "Wei is a busy man."
He chuckled. "Sure if that is how you want to soothe your heart."
Yang Bingqing, his mother, glared at him. "Mingshen! We are here to talk about your date! Don't divert the subject."
"Let it be Aunt. Maybe he is just jealous of Wei and my relationship," she sighed.
He widened his eyes and laughed loudly. "Now that is some joke. Is there any relationship in the first place for me to be jealous of?"
Shi Ruomei fumed. "You always have such a poisonous tongue. Of course, we have a good relationship. Wei agreed to this himself."
"A robot's agreement isn't counted."
Just then his phone buzzed. He rained curses as he saw Wei's name on his screen.
If he asks me one more question, I am gonna send my goons to bring him to my special room!
But when he opened his message, his expression took a one-eighty degree turn. He raised his brow as he saw the photo he sent.
Wei was with Song Lihua, posing for a selfie with a smile.
Now there were too many things in that single photo that could shake the whole Jiang family if they got to see this.
First, he was intimately standing with a woman for the first time.
Second, he took a selfie for the first time.
Third, Wei was smiling for the first time.
Fourth, there was a bruise on his cheek for the first time.
Yang Mingshen was utterly amused. And not just because of the picture.
A certain Mafia King had also sent a message with the photo.
My first photo with my woman.
My woman…
Yang Mingshen wasn't shocked. After he was 'consulted' for advice regarding Lihua, it didn't come as much surprise to him. Plus, he already knew that Wei must be thinking all of this on his own. Lihua wouldn't be even aware that he was addressing her as his woman or that he thought of her as his.
He knew how Wei's mind worked.
As he lowered his gaze, there was another note.
PS - I am her man too.
His mouth twitched. He could imagine his silent and proud expression.
Yang Mingshen raised his gaze and looked at Shi Ruomei.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
He chuckled as he alternated his gaze between her and Wei's message.
"I wonder what your reaction will be if you saw him with another woman one day?"
Shi Ruomei was dumbfounded. Then she burst into laughter. "Now that is some joke, Mingshen. You are saying as if you don't know Wei. Has any woman even stayed alive? If anybody even touched him accidentally, he would kill her without hesitation."
"You never know," he smiled. "One day there might come a woman whom he himself would address as 'My woman.'"
"And who would that woman be other than his fiance that is me?"
Yang Mingshen could easily show her Wei's message, but he chose not to.
This will be fun. Let her stay in her bubble for a while. When it will burst, it will rain a hell of a storm over the entire Underworld especially when you would know her identity.
"Time will tell you," he mysteriously smiled.

After Lihua quickly returned from college, she eagerly knocked on Wei's door.
"Boss! Let's go grocery shopping!"
Wei tilted his head as he felt intrigued. "Grocery shopping?"
She nodded hard. "En!"
Wei thought for a moment. "Don't trouble yourself. Let me tell Renshu to deliver the best groceries here."
Lihua's mouth twitched.
She didn't want to imagine the bill amount. If a single band-aid could cost five thousand Yuan then...
"No Boss. Delivery won't do. Didn't I promise you that I will help you in realizing your emotions? The best way is to experience a middle-class life!" She proudly said.
"A poor life?" He tilted his head.
"..."
"A middle-class life Boss. P-poor is going too far."
"What is the difference?" He touched his chin.
Sure, for Boss, there is no difference. Poor or middle class, everything is the same.
"You have never done shopping by yourself, right?"
"I don't have to. Renshu takes care of everything."
What is Assistant Fu exactly?
She grinned. "This is why you need to do it yourself this time. Hehe, I am sure you will enjoy it. Quickly, get ready!"
Wei couldn't completely understand, but as long as Lihua said it, he had no problems. When she saw him step out of his house, her eyes widened at his attire.
"I am ready."
Lihua was speechless. "No, you are not. Boss...what is with the business suit? We-we are not going for any high-profile meeting."
He frowned. "Is this wrong?"
Lihua sighed. She thought for a moment. She stepped closer to him, making Wei wonder. She stepped on her toes to climb higher. Wei stared at her in a stupor.
So close…
He observed her chest almost close to touching his own, making his breath hitch. For the first time, he didn't feel the need to drive her away as he would for other women. Instead, he wished for this proximity to never end. His eyes traced along the beautiful features of her face in a trance.
First, Lihua untied his tie and as she adjusted his collar, her fingers lightly brushed against his neck. The soft contact darkened his gaze that fell upon her pink lips. He remembered the sensation of their previous kisses. At that closeness, Wei had a sudden urge to grab her and kiss her lips hard.
But she is not crying right now.
For the first time, he wished for Lihua to be sad solely for the reason of kissing her.
He pursed his lips.
But I don't want to see her sad.
Such was the Mafia King's conundrum.
Lihua grabbed his business coat and removed it.
"Hmm…" she touched her chin as she checked him up and down. "Something is still missing. Aha!"
She slightly loosened up his shirt at his waist and gave it a messy look. She rolled up his sleeves a bit till his elbows. "Perfect! This is the perfect casual look for shopping. Now we are ready! This is not your work, so you can loosen up!" She patted his shoulder.
Wei looked at the changes she did and nodded in appreciation. "I like it."
She brightened. "Isn't it? This calls for a picture too! Boss's first casual look should be the caption."
Lihua snapped a picture and sent it. "Hehe. Send this to your friends. They would be so shocked."
"En."
"Now time to go shopping!"
They left to head for the grocery store with Lihua completely unaware that she would soon cross paths with a certain member from the Mafia King's family tonight.
