Chapter 20 - The Mafia King Announces His Relationship With

n

n

nWei frowned.

"I am not done with kowtowing.

"

n

"You don't need to!

" Lihua spoke aloud.

n

"But the apology-

"

n

"No means no. Boss, you didn't have to go that far,

" she sweated.

n

"But you weren't satisfied with the diamond set in the morning.

"

nThe students coughed up blood.

nDiamond set!?

nCEO Jiang gave Lihua a diamond set? When did they grow so close?

nLu Jie couldn't believe her ears either.

nJust two days back they met and he already gifted her a diamond set? How did Lihua do this?

nJealousy filled her heart. Even now, he only talked to Lihua. He didn't spare a single glance at anybody else.

nLihua could feel the glaring stares pricking her like thorns. She inwardly sobbed.

nWhy did you mention the diamond set?

nHer voice stammered.

"B-Boss can we please talk? No, first please get up.

"

n

"If I don't complete the process, how will you forgive me?

" Wei sincerely asked.

n

"You don't need to complete any process! I forgave you! Yes, I did! Cheers!

"

n

"Oh...

"

nWei nodded and got up. He paused and quickly typed a message.

nAt his home where Fu Renshu was making his breakfast, his phone buzzed with a message.

n'It worked. Your salary is tripled.'

nHe brightened.

n

"Oh! Boss is finally satisfied by that bastard's apology! Good job, Renshu!

"

nHe felt proud of himself.

n'Thank you, Boss!'

nHe looked down at his eggs and said,

"Let's have a feast!

"

nBack at the college, the students instantly switched sides.

n

"Lu Jie lied to us. She said that CEO Jiang rejected Lihua, but here the scene is completely different.

"

n

"I think Meng Ya is right. She was jealous that Lihua got the job so she spread rumors to humiliate Lihua.

"

n

"Gosh, and we believed her.

"

nThe murmurs fell on Wei's ears and he silently glanced at Lu Jie. She didn't know why but she unconsciously took a step back.

nThe rumors intrigued him though. He looked at Lihua.

"When did I reject you? You got the job.

"

nLihua coughed hard.

nWhy is Boss so innocent?

nThe students -

"...

"

nMeng Ya looked at him in disbelief.

"They are not talking about the job.

"

nOnce again, he didn't respond to her, but his gaze expressed the question - 'Then what?'

nLihua quickly said,

"Let's leave it at that-

"

nMeng Ya continued.

"That Lihua confessed her love to you and you cruelly rejected her. Lu Jie spread such false rumors,

" she glared at her.

nLihua inwardly facepalmed.

nI just want to disappear right now!

nNow, Wei finally bothered to look straight at Meng Ya in genuine curiosity.

nSometimes, he faintly heard his subordinates talking about love and relationships among themselves which he could never understand.

nHe understood numbers, business and statistics, but he failed to understand why those people always looked so happy talking about their partner.

n

"As in a couple?

" He asked Lihua.

n

"Boss they are just rumors haha…

" she sweated again.

nMeng Ya was puzzled as to why it seemed like Wei was guessing the meaning. After all, who didn't know what a relationship was?

n

"Yeah, you know like boyfriend-girlfriend...holding hands, hugging, kissing…

"

nWei's eyes slightly widened as if he had gotten enlightenment. He nodded his head in understanding.

n

"Oh...Then I suppose we are a couple. We kissed last night,

" he said in all seriousness.

nSilence. Complete silence.

nLihua wanted to faint. She couldn't believe that Wei just casually mentioned their kiss. She knew the circumstances but for the others…

nAnd he just concluded that we are a couple! When did this happen? Why am I not aware of this!?

n

"WHAT!!!

"

nAs expected, there was a huge uproar. Their poor hearts got too many shocks in a single day, especially the women. They could even hear the shattering sound of their hearts into pieces.

nFirst the kowtowing, then the diamond set, and now a kiss?

n

"CEO Jiang and Song Lihua...Gosh, it developed even faster than a bullet train!

"

n

"How? Just in two days, how is this possible for her to make him fall for her that hard?

"

n

"This is unbelievable!

"

n

"Lu Jie! You are horrible! Such a jealous woman!

"

nLu Jie's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. She gritted her teeth in hatred.

nHow can things turn around like that!? He is CEO Jiang! Why would he choose this Lihua!?

nLihua grabbed his arm before he said anything that could make matters worse.

"Boss, I have to talk to you!

"

nThings are going out of hand!

nAnd she hastily dragged him away without letting him speak anything.

nAway from all the fuss, Lihua finally let out her grievances.

n

"Boss, just look at your head. You are bleeding! Let's go home first. Wait. Should we check in the hospital if you got a concussion?

" Her mind was in a jumbled mess.

nWei calmly said,

"I am fine.

"

n

"How can you be fine? You just banged your head on the ground! L-let's go home before it becomes severe…

"

nIt was the first time that she was so afraid. The scar on his forehead made her heart tighten in fear.

nAt Lihua's home, she quickly brought the first-aid and started applying the antiseptic.

n

"It will sting a bit okay…

"

nHer hands trembled a little. As she pressed the cotton ball on his wound, Lihua tightly shut her eyes and turned her face to the other side.

nWei stared at her questioningly.

"Why did you close your eyes?

"

n

"I-It must be hurting, right? Don't worry. It will get over soon.

"

nWei looked intrigued.

nShe was scared as if she was in pain herself.

nWhy? Why is she looking like that? I am hurt, not her.

nShe made such funny expressions that Wei couldn't take his eyes off her.

nWhen she opened her eyes, Wei was surprised to see her gaze slightly misty. His thumb brushed on the corner of her eye.

"You are crying. Why?

"

n

"Because you suddenly did that...do you know how much you scared me? You hurt yourself just to get my apology. Boss. Why did you say all those things? Why did you kowtow? Wait where should I even begin asking the questions?

"

nWei said,

"I did as I was told.

"

n

"Ah? Told what?

" She was confused.

nWhen Wei said about Fu Renshu's advice, she was utterly taken aback.

n

"Boss, why did you have to ask Assistant Fu?

"

n

"Because you didn't like the diamond set,

" he stated.

n

"No-no. I mean why did you have to research so much for an apology? If you feel guilty, then you could have just said 'I am sorry.'

"

nWei was puzzled and he frowned.

n

"Just that? How can it be enough?

"

nLihua said,

"What else is anyone supposed to do? The important thing is that the person genuinely understands his mistake and feels sorry for that. That's all that matters.
