nAt present, Wei had no words to say to her. She bet her life on a small board game that was based on luck.

n

"You…

"

nWei wanted to say a lot of things to her, but for the first to he fell short of words.

nLihua praised herself.

"See? I am so talented, am I not?

"

nFu Renshu sneered.

"Did your small brain bother to think what would happen if you lost?

"

nLihua said,

"My motto is to think of only one step at a time!

"

n

"Sure, why not? Otherwise, your tiny brain will explode, wouldn't it?

"

n

"...

"

nAssistant Fu's jabs never fail to miss their mark.

n

"Boss, why don't you play too? It is super fun!

"

nFu Renshu gnashed his teeth.

"Song Lihua! As if the Boss would play some children's game with you!

"

nWei innocently said,

"I don't know how to.

"

nFu Renshu -

"...

"

nLihua was aghast.

"Boss, you don't know how to play Ludo?

"

n

"No.

"

n

"You never played Ludo when you were a child?

"

nWei blankly looked at her. He couldn't understand her source of shock.

nChildhood…

nHis gaze felt a little distant. The only things he played with at that age were guns and knives. The training for being the Mafia King had already started when he was three. There was no question of mingling with other kids or playing normal games.

nSuddenly, Lihua realized she might have stepped on a sore spot. He had difficulty in understanding emotions and it could be very well linked to his childhood.

nIdiot Lihua. How could you be so insensitive?

nLihua grabbed his arm and made him sit beside her.

"Don't worry Boss! I will teach you! It's super easy.

"

nThe eager and excited expression on her beautiful face softened his gaze. Chang Fang and the others could only watch the duo lost amidst the imaginary blooming flowers.

nLihua said,

"Let's play again!

"

nChang Fang was horrified.

nHow can I dare play with the Mafia King? Just who is this woman who is so casually grabbing him to play?

nHe gulped and sweated.

"That Bo-

"

nWei shot a deadly glare towards him again, making him sob.

nHe isn't letting me talk at all!

nThough Wei only wanted to stop him from calling him as Boss in front of Lihua.

nLihua explained to him the game.

nWei nodded.

"Okay.

"

nFu Renshu wanted to strangle Lihua. Lihua felt the killing intent from behind her back. But she chose to ignore it.

nChang Fang was trembling hard.

"H-How can I play?

"

nWei frowned at him.

"You don't want to play with me?

"

nTo the poor leader Chang Fang, it sounded like a blatant threat.

nYou don't want to play with me, the Mafia King? You dare?

n

"O-of course I would…

"

nThe three started playing Ludo with only Wei and Lihua seem to be enjoying the game. Chang Fang was praying hard that he shouldn't accidentally win the game against Wei.

nMore than playing the game, Wei was enjoying his observation of seeing Lihua play with vigor. Her little excited expressions and the gleam in her eyes strangely spread warmth in his heart.

nThis feels...nice.

nIt felt as if he could spend this time with her forever…

n

"Oh Boss, you should take another piece out of the house for that six instead of moving the current one.

"

n

"Is that so?

" He was completely focused on the game.

n

"Oh no no! You should move that piece.

"

n

"Wait. This move will make you reach faster to the goal.

"

nA few minutes later...

n

"Yay! I won again!

" Lihua raised her hands in excitement.

n

"En.

"

nHe didn't feel much affected by his loss. Instead, he was more satisfied to see her happy.

nChang Fang thought he might order him to kill her off for the loss, but once again, he was shocked. The Mafia King was curiously and ever so e smiling at her.

nIs this Mafia King's doppelganger?

nLang Min was pathetically lying at one side, completely out of the picture.

nWei said,

"How much money you won?

"

nShe widened her eyes.

"Oh no no! I didn't play this game with you for money. This is for fun. Boss, did you enjoy it?

"

nShe eagerly awaited. After all, she had promised to help him discover his emotions. And that would start by doing little things like playing a game and having fun.

nWei stared at her.

"I want to play with you again,

" he tilted his head.

nShe clapped her hands once.

"Sure! Anytime!

"

nSuccess! Boss seems happy than his usual expression before.

nFu Renshu glowered.

"Song Lihuaaaaa…

"

nShe jolted.

n

"Ah..haha..hahaha..

" she nervously smiled,

"I-I should head back home…

"

nHis threatening presence was intimidating to another level now.

nWei nodded.

"Renshu. Take her back to the car.

"

nHe narrowed his eyes at Lang Min and then at Chang Fang.

n

"Yes, Boss.

"

nLihua said,

"Ah Boss, don't punish the leader please!

"

nChang Fang was dumbfounded.

nAh? Why is she is taking my side who kidnapped her?

n

"After all, he wasn't that unreasonable. He promised to let me go if I won, and he was going to do that. I am not mad at him.

"

nWei raised his brow in amusement.

nShe always acts so differently…

nAny other person wouldn't have said that after going through a freaking kidnapping incident.

nChang Fang almost wanted to hug her for her generosity, but of course, he refrained. He didn't want to incur the Mafia King's wrath.

nI will never forget this debt! He sobbed in happiness.

n

"If you say so. But I have another thing to deal with too.

"

nFu Renshu roughly pushed her forward.

"Now, now, stop bothering Boss and move forward already!

"

nLihua grumbled.

"I-I am…

"

nBut suddenly out of nowhere, Wei straightened up in attention and grabbed Lihua. He hugged her and leaped to the side, just dodging the bullet shot in time.

nA gang of men invaded Chang Fang's base and pointed their guns at them.

n

"Nobody will move or we will shoot everybody right away! Hand over Lang Min to us!

"

nLang Min was excited.

"Ah, you finally came to save me! Help me out of here!

"

nThey were a gang he had hired to finish Chang Fang's men and take him away.

nChang Fang's men had also guns with them, but they were not in the position to shoot. If they moved even an inch, the other gang would start a bloodbath.

nChang Fang turned cold and so did Fu Renshu.

nHe smiled dangerously.

"You have some death wish, pointing your guns at us.

"

n

"Shut it or I will kill you. Hand over Lang Min right now!

"

n

"Yes kill them! Kill them all! Bloody bastards beat me into a pulp.

"
