The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 427 - Supermarket Trip

Chapter 427 - Supermarket Trip

The same evening after her classes were done, Lihua stepped out of her house in deep thought. Liangshi and Ziruo were quite serious throughout the day. Ji Da Xia was stressed out too. But she didn't know why. They acted normal, but she figured something was making them tense.

She wanted to help them, but it seemed they wouldn't share it with her. Somehow, seeing Liangshi tense worried her a little. She didn't know why, but anything related to him affected her more.

"U-umm…"

She snapped out of her stupor and turned. Lu Bojing was nervously standing near his house's door. "Are you going somewhere?"

"Oh, yes. Just at the supermarket."

"O-Oh! Then I will come with you too!"

"Sure."

Lu Bojing bit his lip and lowered his head. "Please tell me next time when you are heading out and take me with you too!"

"Ah? Why? Everytime?"

"Yes, please tell me, okay? You are pregnant. I am a doctor. I need to be by your side always…"

As per Boss's order!

Lihua blinked and chuckled helplessly. "I know I am pregnant, but it doesn't mean that I need a doctor 24x7 by my side. It's just pregnancy. I am not sick."

Lu Bojing stared at her and his eyes teared up. "Please don't say no... I beg you please take me wherever you go. It can be dangerous outside!"

Then she remembered what he told in the beginning when they met. He was strangely stubborn about this condition.

Lu Bojing is really strange…

But she didn't sense any malice from him, so she didn't find an issue. In fact, she found him cute as if he was her younger brother. Maybe he thought that too and wished to protect her like how a brother does.

She giggled. "Okay, okay. I will definitely tell you next time."

"T-the other times as well…" he cried.

"Yes, the other times as well and no crying!"

Lu Bojing nodded. So, they went out together.

It was busy and crowded at the supermarket. Lu Bojing had slightly paled. He had never seen a huge crowd before. Walking around so many people made him tense and anxious. But he was frantically looking left, right, forward and backward to protect Lihua from any accident. There were high chances of someone bumping into her.

He imagined her falling, and the thought made his face white in sheer terror.

"Lu Bojing?" She waved her hand in front of him.

"Ah?"

"Where are you lost?" She laughed. "Let's go to the toys section! I want to buy lots of toys for my child!" Her eyes sparkled.

Lihua glanced through all the shelves, and she found everything so adorable that her trolley was almost filled with toys itself.

Beside her, there was another couple.

"This is so cute. Let's take this!"

The husband sighed. "We have already stuffed one whole room with toys. How many more do you want?"

The wife pouted. "It's not enough for our child. Don't be stingy."

He helplessly chuckled. "Alright. I can never win against you anyway."

"Then let's take another trolley just for his clothes!"

"..."

Lihua stared at them and wondered how it would have been if Wei was with her too. They would be shopping together for their child just like that couple. It would have been so much fun. But here she was all alone as she held the stuffed toy in her hand.

She slightly trembled, and her gaze blurred. She missed Wei.

She quickly broke out of her melancholy and looked for Lu Bojing. He was standing near a shelf, staring at a small stuffed teddy bear. He was staring at it quite intently.

Lihua curiously asked, "It's cute, right?"

"Yes."

"Then buy it if you like it so much."

Lu Bojing widened his eyes. "N-No!" His cheeks furiously blushed in embarrassment. "I don't want it."

"Don't lie. I can see that you really like it. What's the problem?"

Lu Bojing nervously clasped his fingers. She looked here and there and pursed his lips. "I-It's girly to like cute toys…So…"

Lihua smacked his head. "What are you talking about? It doesn't have anything to do with being girly or manly. I told you, right? Don't care about anybody's judgment. You are free to like what you want. Toys are cute, and they are meant to be liked by all. There is nothing strange in it."

"I-I am sorry…"

"Don't worry," she smiled, "I know it's hard to suddenly start thinking confident. It takes time. But I don't want you to forget it either."

The warm feeling gushed in his heart again, and felt all tickling. "Okay…"

Suddenly, a huge man bumped into him from behind and Lu Bojing almost crashed on the shelf.

"Bojing! Are you alright?" Lihua hastily asked and helped him out.

He nodded. "It's okay-"

"It's not okay! Why are you standing in the way you mutt!? Are you blind!?"

The burly, intimidating man glared at Lu Bojing. His aura oozed danger and violence.

Lu Bojing trembled hard and was on the verge of tears. He curled up in defense. "I-I-I am s-sorry for being a nuisance!"

The man grabbed his collar and sneered. "Ew. Are you really a man? You look like a woman. Disgusting."

Lu Bojing stiffened.

"Are you sure you got a brother down there? Or is it a woman's pussy?"

"I-I…"

"Hahaha, you even talk like a woman. You are a creep."

Lu Bojing paled.

"Apologize once again!" He glared at him.

The other customers got scared and quickly left the area. The staff tried to manage, but he was so muscular and intimidating that even the staff were afraid.

Tears streamed out of his eyes. "I am-"

"Don't!"

Lihua stepped in front and shook off his hand from Lu Bojing's collar.. She glared at him. "How dare you insult my friend like that!? Not only have you bumped into him, but you are also humiliating him! Don't you have any shame? It's you who should be apologizing to him!"
