Bobo laughed. “But will that beauty like a ditzy and dumb woman like you? Just looking at your house will make him faint.”
“…”
Lihua gnashed her jaw. “I would say that we are a perfect match! Life would be so boring if he got a super smart and intelligent woman like him. Our nature will balance our relationship,” she proudly smiled.
“That means you admit you are ditzy and dumb?”
“…”
“Bobo, you really want a beating from me!”
Bobo giggled and jumped out of the couch to run away. Just like that, they played the game of tag, running around the house.
“Bobo, keep that glass down or you will spill the juice.”
“You will catch me if I stop! I will not fall for your tricks!”
But the worst fear came true and Bobo accidentally spilled the juice on the table. “Ahh! See? This is what I told you will happen.”
Bobo pursed his lips and sadly lowered his head. “Sorry Lihua.”
“Aiya, don’t be so sad,” Lihua cuddled him and pinched his chubby cheeks. “My house is already a mess. A little more doesn’t matter haha. Let’s clean it up.”
“I will help!”
Together, they wiped the spilled juice, but soon Lihua noticed an envelope. Her eyes slightly widened. “Oh yeah, Yaya handed me the letter this morning. Oops, it became all wet now.”
She picked the letter with the juice dripping out of it and stuck out her tongue. She murmured. “Will this letter be even readable now? Let me dry it up in any case.”
Bobo felt even more ashamed of ruining her stuff. “Lihua…”
She patted his head. “Oof! Don’t be so gloomy. It’s just a letter. No big deal. I am not mad at my baby.”
Joy bloomed in his heart and he shyly grinned.
*Ding*
“Wait here.” As soon as Lihua opened the door, Wei’s charming and gorgeous face blinded Lihua at one glance as if she was looking at the scintillating sun.
Ah, it’s so bright even at night!
Wei gazed at Lihua and recalled his heated kiss last night that left him craving for more. The more he stared at her, the more he found her alluring and bewitching as his eyes traveled down her delicious neckline and her thin waist. A gulp passed down his throat as his eyes clouded in desire. His intense and unyielding gaze made Lihua feel conscious and strangely shy.
Why is Boss looking at me so seriously?
“Boss…” she lowered her head, unable to meet his gaze.
“We were going to decorate the house,” his husky voice fanned his warm breath on her cheek, making her shiver.
“Ah-ah yes. I was just heading over your place.”
“En.”
“Wait. Lihua cannot go!” Bobo jumped between Lihua and Wei, and putting his hands on his waist, he fearlessly scrutinized the tall man towering in front of him.
“Who are you to take my Lihua away?”
Wei lowered his head and squinted his eyes at the little bun, who was puffing his cheeks and daringly meeting the Mafia King’s gaze. Thunder crackled between them as they faced each other. Both Wei and Bobo considered the other a serious threat.
The moment Bobo saw Wei, he immediately guessed it right that he might be the same man who Lihua was talking about. Though he teased Lihua all the time, he liked her a lot – enough to dream of taking her as his wife one day.
And now this man threatened his beautiful dream.
For Wei as well, it didn’t matter to him if he was a child. Bobo claimed Lihua as his and as someone who considered Lihua as his woman, Wei couldn’t stand idle and allow him to say whatever he pleased.
In a low but frightening voice, Wei uttered, “My Lihua?”
“Uh-huh. Who are you to suddenly show yourself at her door?”
Lihua spat out in embarrassment. She quickly pulled Bobo back. “Bobo! He is my Boss and my neighbor!”
Please don’t get offended, Boss!
Bobo scrunched up his eyebrows and suspiciously looked at Wei. “But Lihua didn’t have a neighbor before. How did he suddenly show up now? And why will a Boss live near his employee? You look like those rich capitalists that bully commoners with their power and money! You are here to bully Lihua!”
Her eyes popped out of her sockets, hearing Bobo’s audacious declaration. Rich capitalists?
“Bobo…how do you know such deep words?”
Bobo proudly snorted. “Because you don’t. At least someone from the two of us should have a good vocabulary.”
“…”
“It is impossible for you because you are dumb. You will take ten years alone to get the spelling right, much less the pronunciation.”
!!!
She puked blood. Is he really a six-year-old child!?
Wei straightened up and sincerely said, “I will not bully Lihua.”
Lihua’s heart fluttered and bloomed with happiness that overflowed with love for him.
“I will bully the people who bully Lihua.”
“…”
Aish! Such buttery words, she blushed.
Bobo pointed his finger at him. “Hah! A rich capitalist’s words cannot be trusted. You are all the same! You will be like the villain in the movies who fakes to love my dumb and innocent Lihua and then cruelly dump her in the end, leaving a baby in her tummy!”
*Spat!*
“Bobo!” She looked horrified. “You have watched too many movies! Should a child be really saying these things?”
Sweat began to drop down her forehead.
Boss will definitely get angry now!
Wei rapidly blinked his eyes. In that whole Bobo’s accusation, the Mafia King focused on only one part.
Leaving a baby in her tummy.
Baby? My baby? Lihua and my baby?
His confused gaze cleared up as his eyes slowly widened. He lowered his eyes to stare at her tummy and imagined their baby inside her.
After he consulted with Yang Mingshen, Wei immediately took it to himself to research about sex. He read through many useful articles and learned that there are a lot of things to consider, especially if it’s the first time. In one such article, he learned that unprotected sex can lead to a pregnancy. At that time, he didn’t think of it much because he was more interested to learn about the process. But now that Bobo mentioned a baby, Wei’s mind automatically recollected reading that article.
So now he couldn’t help but really focus on their baby too.
Wei beamed.
Lihua is my woman so we should have a baby together, he nodded.
And just like that, the Mafia King’s trajectory leaped a huge jump from having sex with Lihua to thinking about their baby already.
Bobo was dumbfounded. “Why do I see so many flowers blooming around him? Why does he look so happy? I didn’t praise him. He is weird.”
Lihua glared at him. “Quiet Bobo! Do you want me to lose my job?”
Bobo said in disdain, “You shouldn’t work with a cunning rich capitalist in the first place.”
“…”
Lihua faced Wei and quickly said, “Boss please ignore him, okay? Haha…he is just babbling.”
“I am not bab-”
A sharp glare from Lihua made Bobo shut his mouth.
To ease the tension, she said, “Boss. Let’s head to your house! We have to decorate it after all.” She quickly pushed him out of her house to avoid any more confrontation between the two.
Bobo heavily pouted. “I will come too!”
“En…” Just as Wei turned, his sight fell upon at the end where he faintly saw a white envelope. He furrowed his brows. It wasn’t clear to him because of the distance, but he felt that the envelope seemed a little familiar. Then his view got obstructed when Lihua began to push him out.
“Let’s go!”

At the same time, Meng Ya exited a convenience store.
She sobbed. “Time for studying for the test. Oh Goddess Lihua, let your notes help me pass!”
As she kept walking, she was harshly pushed aside as she bumped into someone. Her bag flew open and all her books and notes fluttered in the air. She watched the scene unfold in horror.
“Ah no!”
Meng Ya hurriedly hopped left and right, trying to catch her notes. She inwardly cried at her plight.
Fu Renshu looked at her, dumbfounded. “You again?”
Meng Ya’s ears twitched, hearing the familiar and annoying voice of a certain assistant. She slowly turned her head and flared upon seeing him. “You again! You seriously need to check your eyes!”
“What a coincidence! I was gonna say the same thing,” he gritted his teeth, “do you have a problem in looking ahead and walking? Will it deplete your non-existent brain cells even more if you took that effort?”
She fumed in anger and her body trembled in rage. “You…”
His sight fell upon her notes and he faintly read the content on it marked with different colored inks and highlights. Meng Ya quickly hid it. “Stop peeking!”
Fu Renshu chuckled. “Is that your ticket to pass the exam tomorrow?”
