The Mafia King's First Love

Jiang Li gritted his teeth. "...I have my reasons."

"What are those reasons that are making your wife cry? Are they really worth it?" Lihua sharply asked. ​​

He clenched his fist.

"What is making you act so distant towards Jiang Lanying? You don't have to tell me. But as your wife, she has every right to know. She is married to you. She wants this marriage to work, but you are not helping her at all!"

His gaze darkened and his voice was cold as he spoke, "This is between me and her. Don't meddle into our affairs."

She glared at him. "Jiang Li! Sure, I won't meddle in your matters if you stop being so foolish! You are hurting her so much that it is making her sad. What do you expect that as her family, everybody should keep quiet about it and ignore her pain? She is my sister-in-law! I won't let her suffer any grievance!"

He didn't respond.

"Jiang Lanying is not just your wife. She is related to me, Wei, Uncle, Aunt, Jiang Ruiling and everybody else in this house. I understand that the matters between a husband and wife are personal, but I will not stay silent when you are hurting her with your actions. She is not sad to hear about you being with a woman because she trusts you. She is sad because you lied to her. It made her feel that she is unworthy of your trust."

He froze. He felt as if a tight knot was clenching his heart mercilessly. His hands were shaking and all his thoughts had become a mess.

Lihua toned down, seeing him turn quiet and solemn. She could see the pain and guilt in his eyes.

She asked, "Jiang Li. Can I just ask you one simple thing?"

He said nothing.

"Can you please trust her?"

His fists balled even tighter and he shut his eyes.

"She just wants you to be honest with her. She wants to be there for you. She only wants to support you the best she can. Is that too much for a wife to ask?"

Jiang Li said nothing.

Wei promptly shut his laptop and stared at his cousin with a deadpan expression. "Li. You have made my wife sad and angry. I don't want to see her so stressed because of you."

Lihua coughed.

So, you don't care about Jiang Lanying?

Wei rested his head on the palm of his hand as his elbow rested on the table. His sharp and cold gaze landed on Jiang Li. "Sort out your mess and stop causing trouble for Lixue."

Jiang Li looked at him.

"Otherwise, don't force me to investigate your matter myself."

He froze.

Wei said very slowly and extremely quietly too. "You know that if I have to find something, I can get any information I want. Nothing can be kept hidden from me."

Jiang Li said nothing and quietly left the room.

Lihua flicked his forehead and said, "You even threaten your own cousin."

Wei pulled her into his arms. "I don't like anybody bullying you."

She chuckled. "Was he really bullying me?"

"Anybody who makes you sad and anxious is a bully for me." He sternly said.

She laughed and pecked his cheek. "My hubby is the best."

He smiled and pinched her nose. "Now, let's continue our conversation."

"Which conversation?" She asked.

"That a daughter is better than a boy."

Lihua blushed. "You…"

Suddenly, he pushed her on the bed and pinned her beneath him. "I have a better idea."

Lihua had a sense of foreboding that his idea would be anything but good.

"We will discuss later. Let us make our daughter first."

Lihua choked seeing the doting smile on his lips.

"You...just look at you. You are already so eager for our daughter. If in the future, I do give birth to a girl, you will definitely forget me…"

She whined and turned her head away. Wei quickly made her face him again and said with every ounce of seriousness. "Even if we have a daughter, you would be always the first and foremost in my heart."

He kissed her forehead.

Aish!

It felt as if a cupid shot an arrow right through her heart.

She giggled. "Ah, Wei. Seems like your cuteness doesn't have any end at all."

"It's because my wife is so cute," he kissed her lips and swiftly pulled her dress away. They got naked in seconds and soon, Lihua soft moans echoed in the room.

Lihua, the cat promptly understood that she had to leave. She silently hopped out of her cozy bed and walked away.

Dumb humans making this queen walk away! You should find yourselves a different room. Don't make out in my room! I won't leave the next time!

The next evening, the Jiang couples entered the lavishly decorated hall where Hou Zhenzhen and Lai Chang were hosting their pre-wedding party.

"Lanying!"

Hou Zhenzhen waved her hand from her seat. There were a bunch of other women surrounding her too. "Come here!"

Jiang Lanying smiled. "Congratulations, Zhenzhen. Hope you have a happy wedding. Here's a small gift from the Jiang family."

"Thank you."

"How is your foot now?" She asked.

Jiang Lanying was shocked to see the huge plaster on her leg. "It was that bad?"

She gritted her teeth. "It's that stupid biker's fault. People cannot even drive these days!"

Lihua controlled herself from laughing.

Suits a devious woman like you!

Jiang Lanying sighed. "You should have canceled this party and postponed it to a later date. How will you enjoy like this?"

"I am fine. Everything was already planned and set. It would have been a bother to cancel everything."

Hou Zhenzhen shifted her gaze towards Jiang Li. "Good evening, Jiang Li."

He didn't respond and blatantly ignored her. She felt a little embarrassed in front of her friends, but she said nothing.

Can he not greet me to keep my face!?

She observed Jiang Lanying and Jiang Li and wondered what happened between them.

Lanying must have definitely questioned him about that woman. What is going on between them now? Are they fighting?
