The Mafia King's First Love

Before Lihua could say anything, a middle-aged lady attendant approached them with a smile on her face. She took a look at Lihua's basket and beamed. "Is this for your child?"

"Yes."

"Oh my. Congratulations."

"Thank you."

"This must be your husband…" she glanced at him, "oh my. You are so handsome. You two look like a match made in heaven."

Wei's ears perked up, and his whole aura brightened as if he was radiating a golden glow. The attendant almost had a heart attack seeing the breathtaking warm smile on his lips.

If only I was younger, she lamented.

The attendant eagerly pulled them, thinking that they were a couple. "Come here. We have got some latest stuff just designed for newborns. You will love it."

Lihua was slightly hesitating. Somehow, by fate, she got to shop with Wei today. She just pursed her lips and followed along. Since she said nothing, Wei also assumed her answer to be yes. His heart was filled with happiness to be together with her once again.

"How about these clothes? The material is very soft and snuggly and your child will get a good sleep. Then here are all the winter clothes. Please look at this cap with bunny ears. It's cute and will also protect your child's ears from the cold. These are the new sweaters that have just come yesterday. Then here are the socks and over there…" she pointed, "comes all the laundry set with these clothes. It's especially made for washing baby clothes. If you take the laundry set too, you will get a fifteen percent discount on it."

Wei carefully observed all the things for himself. He touched the clothes and indeed found them very warm and soft.

On the other hand, Lihua was more excited to hear about the fifteen percent discount part.

"Fifteen percent?"

"Oh yes," the attendant eagerly discussed the deal.

Lihua asked, "If we take the bath set, will we get more discount?"

"Of course, Mam. You will get a free bath tub if you take the bath and diaper set together."

Lihua brightened and clapped her hands once. Wei, whose sight fell on a device, pointed at it and asked, "That?"

"Oh! It's a baby monitor. It's used for monitoring the baby when he or she would be asleep, either through audio or video. If you need to step out for some time, it will help you to keep an eye on your baby without worrying at all."

Wei pursed his lips. "Don't need it."

"Ah? Why not? It's super useful!" The attendant said.

He frowned. "I won't leave my daughter alone anywhere in the first place. So, I don't need it."

Lihua and the middle-aged attendant coughed hard. They looked at him, speechless.

Wei's lips curled into a beautiful smile, and his gaze was as warm as the morning sun. "I will always keep her by my side."

The other female customers experienced getting a similar heart attack just like the attendant had a few minutes ago.

Aiyaaaaa...this man is so cute!

Such a protective father!

The flowers blooming around him somehow made the atmosphere fuzzy and blissful.

Lihua couldn't help but ask, "Daughter?"

Wei looked at her and smiled. "En."

"What if it's a son?"

Wei's brows furrowed in displeasure. "Why will it be a son?"

"..."

What's with that question?

"It's a fifty-fifty chance."

Wei blinked his eyes. "No, it's not. It will be a daughter."

"..."

"How do you know?"

"I just know."

Lihua also didn't want to step back now. "What if I want a boy?"

"Why do you want a boy? Boys are not good," he showed a displeased expression again.

The attendant - "..."

You are a boy...Sir, she coughed. I mean, you were once a boy…

"Girls are cute," Wei showed his warm smile again.

And so he stuffed all pink clothes, sweaters, socks and all pink things in the trolley. Lihua's eyes almost popped out. "Hey! You are taking everything pink."

"Yes. Girls like pink is what I have read," he said seriously.

Lihus fumed and put some blue stuff in it too. "We cannot be biased. We have to be ready if it's a boy! And it's gonna be a boy!"

"It's a girl," Wei said as if it was so obvious.

Her mouth twitched and she looked away. "Well then, you can shop on your own if you like it."

Wei froze. He quickly said, "Don't say it like that…"

The attendant tried to calm down their argument. "Yes, yes. Please don't fight. Your husband is very cute when he looks so confident about having a daughter."

Lihua was dumbfounded.

Shouldn't you be taking my side?

Wei finally agreed to buy a FEW things in blue color too with a very heavy heart. But when it came to pink stuff, he just straightway dumped everything in the basket.

Sir, are you planning to empty out the supermarket!?

Walking along the various routes, they finally arrived at the place where cribs were kept. Lihua curiously took a look, and she immediately found one to her liking. She observed it from all sides and instinctively pulled Wei's arm. "Wei, Wei, look! Isn't this crib so cute? It's actually perfect!"

Wei stared at her in a daze and her hand that had tugged onto his coat. He slightly trembled. It was as if his dream came true.

Why...this cannot go on forever…

His gaze dimmed, thinking that they will separate again once this shopping trip is over.

But he didn't want to ruin this precious moment with Lihua, so he quickly snapped out of his melancholy.

Wei leaned towards the crib to check on it, which Lihua was so excitedly showing him. He touched the crib to swing it when Lihua suddenly pulled his hand away.

"Don't swing it!" She widened her eyes.

Wei was taken aback. "Why?"

She shook her head. "I have heard somewhere that it's a bad omen. You don't rock an empty cradle. It's considered bad luck for the baby," she felt a bit embarrassed, "I-I know it's just some superstition…"

"No," he immediately said, "I am sorry. I didn't know.. Superstition or not, if it concerns our child, especially if it's bad, then I won't do it either."
