The Mafia King's First Love

Her mouth twitched.

Damn I forgot about it! ​​

Now that Meng Ya thought about it, she finally realized why she was annoyed. Tian Meirong called him just as Renshu which unsettled her.

She laughed. "Of course I just call him Renshu. It's just that I am mad at him a bit. When I am angry at him, I call his full name! Hmph!"

Tian Meirong said, "I hope the argument isn't because of me. After all, you might have gotten uncomfortable since I came to live here…"

She gritted her teeth.

If you know then get the hell out, you duffer! What does Fu Renshu see in this woman!?

But Meng Ya maintained her smile amidst the burning volcano in her heart.

Tian Meirong looked at the dishes and smiled. "I see…"

As Fu Renshu stepped in, he saw the two women together, their gazes locked in some sort of a deadly competition that made him want to escape as quickly as he could.

Ugh…I want to run away…

Meng Ya's gaze fell upon him and she beamed. "Fu Ren- *cough* Renshu dear~"

Fu Renshu almost puked blood. He stared at her in horror.

Renshu dear?

*Badump*

He rapidly blinked his eyes in confusion.

Ah? What was that?

He touched his chest and frowned.

Why did it feel that my heart skipped a beat? Am I having some problems?

Meng Ya ran to his side and hooked her arm into his. "How was work today? I hope it wasn't too stressful."

She behaved like a typical caring girlfriend. Fu Renshu stared at her in a daze and then cleared his throat. He whispered. "What are you doing?"

She said without moving her lips. "Don't embarrass me in front of her. I am your girlfriend. If you behave otherwise, you are so dead."

"..."

Why am I being threatened in my own house?

Meng Ya smiled and dragged him towards the table. "Sit here. Let's have dinner. Since Tian Meirong is here, I thought of preparing dinner today."

Fu Renshu widened his eyes. "Y-you cooked dinner tonight?"

"En!" She stood tall with her nose turning imaginarily longer in pride.

He looked at her suspiciously. "Do you even know how to cook?"

Suddenly, he felt a deadly pressure on his foot as she stomped hard on it with her own. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Of course dear. I know how to cook food. Have. You. Forgotten?"

She enounced each word through her clenched jaw.

Fu Renshu yelped in pain but somehow managed to keep a straight face. His brow twitched as he smiled. "J-Just joking…"

Meng Ya looked at Tian Meirong. "Ignore him. He likes to joke around a lot."

"Sure~"

She took a seat opposite Fu Renshu. "Let me know how her food tastes like Renshu," she leaned her chin on her palm as she smiled at him.

Meng Ya harrumphed.

What is she even trying to provoke here?

Fu Renshu looked at the dishes and slightly stiffened.

Meng Ya eagerly served him the fish soup, rice and braised fish and said, "Eat all up!"

He cleared his throat. He glanced at her and looked at the glimmer and excitement in her eyes. He could clearly read the words hovering on top of her head.

I want to know how it tastes. Is it good? Do you like it?

Fu Renshu quietly stared at her for a moment and then picked his chopsticks. He took a bite of the rice and braised fish.

Meng Ya felt her heart drum in nervousness.

Why am I so anxious?

"How is it?" She subconsciously fidgeted with her fingers.

Fu Renshu slightly widened his eyes as he chewed. He nodded. "...It's delicious."

Meng Ya looked at him in a stupor. "R-really?"

"En."

A bright smile shone on her lips and her cheeks turned slightly red. Fu Renshu couldn't help but stare at her in a daze.

Meng Ya turned and gave a proud look at Tian Meirong.

Tian Meirong seemed unaffected. "You don't have to lie to keep her heart, Renshu. Just tell her the truth."

Meng Ya frowned.

What truth? He liked my food! You are just jealous and trying to stir trouble!

Fu Renshu narrowed his eyes as he faced her. "There is nothing to tell."

Tian Meirong smiled. "You are too kind on a girlfriend who doesn't even know that her 'boyfriend' doesn't like to eat fish."

Meng Ya froze.

"Ah?"

She looked at him in bewilderment.

Fu Renshu doesn't like fish?

He gritted his teeth as he glared at her. "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Nonsense? You cannot even bear the smell of a fish let alone eat it. You never liked seafood. You have never touched it since childhood."

Meng Ya stiffened.

She looked at all her dishes.

Fu Renshu doesn't like seafood and I cooked nothing but that…

Tian Meirong faced her. "As his girlfriend, you ought to know this. But it's okay. I think it's a misunderstanding. Oh yes. Didn't you say that you two were having an argument? Maybe you cooked this to spite him haha…"

Her gaze lowered.

Spite him?

It was true that she cooked to show to Tian Meirong how capable she was. But somewhere in her heart, she had a tiny wish to impress Fu Renshu too. She didn't know why but she was eagerly hoping he would eat it and then hear his praise.

She didn't feel sad that her effort was a waste but more about how she lost to Tian Meirong on hearing how much she knew about him whereas she didn't.

"Ah...yes haha…" she smacked herself on her forehead. "O-of course I know that he doesn't like fish. You are right. I made all this just to annoy him haha…"

Meng Ya quickly pulled his plate away. "But now that I am not angry anymore, I will cook something else for him."

Fu Renshu noticed her trembling eyelashes and fingers. He suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled his plate back.

"I don't want to eat anything else. I like fish and I will eat this."

Meng Ya quickly said, "No, no. Don't force yourself."

Tian Meirong said, "Renshu you-"

He shot a chilly glare at her. "It's true that I didn't like fish before but now I have started liking it ever since she became my girlfriend. Any problem with that?"
