The Mafia King's First Love

At the biggest store in their area, Lihua said, "Ta-dah! Boss, let's take the trolley and head inside."

Wei curiously surveyed his surroundings as he took a look at the other customers. He noticed that most of them were housewives who had brought their children along with them for shopping. But even more than them, he easily distinguished the couples that came together.

Some of them were at the bill counter with the husband paying the bill, or some were shopping where the husbands were forced to hold the pile of bags upon bags by their cruel wives (according to them).

Couples.

Wei's eyes glinted and shone as he thought of the couples around him. He eyed Lihua and him and realization dawned upon him.

There were a lot of couples here and so were they here too.

Wei asked her, brimming with curiosity, "Is this a ritual?"

Lihua, who was busy choosing the trolley with her favorite color, looked back at him questioningly. "Ritual?"

He nodded. "There are many couples around. Do they usually shop together like this?"

"Oh yes! This area has many married and working couples living here. So the store is usually filled with them."

Wei's expression brightened though to others, he still seemed the same with nothing but a blank face.

Lihua mumbled to herself. "Hehe Boss. One day we will come here as a couple too and throw dog food on everybody."

She had no idea that what she dreamt of the far future was something that Wei was already imagining as reality. Lihua hoped that one day would come for sure when she would be his girlfriend.

I will definitely make him fall for my charm~

But unknown to her, Wei already took leaps and bounds ahead, thinking that they were a couple.

So Lihua brought me here because I am her man. Couples shop together. That's why we are together.

He beamed.

Wei liked it. He liked that feeling a lot. His gaze warmed up as he dotingly focused on her. For him, he felt as if Lihua was already exercising her right as his woman that pleased his heart.

But then he frowned. He had never shopped before, so he didn't know the rules.

Wei opened Baidu and typed.

'Things to do while shopping as a couple.'

He got several results and he read them one by one. He nodded at every one of them. He also realized that this was what people called a date, specifically a shopping date.

Imaginary flowers bloomed around him.

We are on a shopping date...A date with Lihua…

Lihua was finally done choosing her trolley.

"Let's take this one. It has a violet handle. I like violet a lot."

Wei mentally made a note of it.

Lihua's favorite color is violet.

"Sorry Boss I took so long just for a trolley…"

His black orbs softened and he gently patted her. "You can take as much time as you want."

The other wives envied her. They harshly elbowed their husbands as they glared at them.

"Look at him! He is so doting and loving towards her."

"He didn't mind at all that she took so long. And you start complaining just after five minutes!"

"Learn something from him!"

"He is so handsome and dashing! And look at your fashion sense."

The poor husbands could only curse him as they were ruthlessly compared to Wei. The wives didn't hold back at all.

Lihua sheepishly grinned. "Hahaha. Thank you, Boss! Phew. I thought the store would close down by the time I finished choosing the trolley."

Wei tilted his head. "The store won't close. You can take your time."

She blinked her eyes. "It closes at ten PM."

"It won't close as long as I am here."

"Why?"

"Because I say that."

Wei left it at that.

Who would dare oppose the Mafia King?

"..."

Being a CEO has its benefits huh…

As they stepped inside, they instantly became the center of attention. People murmured as they were stunned to see such a beautiful couple. Especially the women. They couldn't tear their eyes off the Godly handsome Wei.

Lihua fumed upon seeing the women's dreamy eyes feasting on him.

Shoo! Shoo! I have already claimed myself as his future girlfriend. Go somewhere else! Don't eye my innocent Boss.

Wei took the trolley from her. "Let's go."

"Ah Boss I will hold the trolley," she quickly said.

"No. I will hold it," he stubbornly said.

Rule no 1. The man should hold the trolley.

"Okay. Hmm... Let's go over to that section."

It was a personal care section with all the toiletries stuff. Lihua quickly dumped some soaps and creams into the trolley.

"Boss, which soap do you use?"

"Whatever you use."

"Really? Okay."

"Which toothpaste brand?"

"Whatever you use."

"Which cream?"

"Whatever you use."

"Which shampoo?"

"Whatever you use."

"..."

Lihua asked, "Boss, do you use exactly the same products like mine?"

"I never used them before," he truthfully stated.

"Ah? So why are you choosing the same as mine?"

"Because I only want to use the things that you use. Your choice is my choice."

Her heart almost leaped out of her chest by his sudden declaration. She looked at him, feeling speechless. His sincere words coupled with that serious gaze were so innocent that she instantly melted like butter.

Boss, what are you doing innocently flirting like that out of the blue?

She couldn't hide the blush on her cheeks and she quickly lowered her head, feeling shy. Those simple words bloomed her heart in an inexplicable joy.

She mumbled. "Boss you will make me fall for you more and more."

"Hm?" He tilted his head.

"*Ahem* Boss, don't attack me like that. I will die from heart failure," she sobbed.

If Boss doesn't understand feelings, then how is he so adept in flirting?

Wei widened his eyes. "I-I didn't attack you," he stammered and panicked. He grabbed her and anxiously checked on her. "Did I hurt you anywhere? Did I hit you anywhere?"

Lihua was stunned. "Boss, I didn't mean it literally."

"You didn't?" He cautiously questioned while still checking on her from head to toe.

"No...I meant…" she furiously blushed, "you s-said that my choice is yours…"

Wei said, "I said the truth."

Her face felt even hotter than before. Even the air conditioning couldn't help her calm down. She cleared her throat. "L-let's head to the next section!"

"En."

Lihua and Wei walked away while having no idea that a certain man was eyeing them the whole time. His phone rang.

A woman's soft voice came from the other end, softening that man's cold gaze. "Did you see Wei?"

"En."

"So will you meet him?" There was slight unease in her voice.

"I will not meet him."

"Oh…" her voice turned downcast.

"I will meet the woman he came with."
