The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 14 - The Mafia King Is Anxious For The First Time

The whole day at the college, Lihua could barely pay any attention to the lectures. Wei's cruel words were hovering in her mind to no end.

If it had been a person like Lu Jie, then it wouldn't have bothered her, but somehow, she was terribly hurt to hear it from Wei.

Meng Ya elbowed her and whispered. "Still thinking about him?"

Lihua fiddled with the pen. She bit her lip.

"It's strange, Yaya. I just met him yesterday. We hardly know each other, but his words already hurt me this much. I don't know... it's like he suddenly felt so different when he spoke that about Sis Jia. As if he felt nothing at all…"

Meng Ya sighed. "So, you are still mad at him."

"Of course, I am. Sis Jia is everything for me. How can I forgive him? Even if he is Godly handsome, I will not let this slide."

"He might have realized his mistake. I am sure he didn't say with any intention to hurt you.

She pursed her lips.

The rest of the day, she buried herself in books and assignments in the library. But her mind would always divert to Wei.

Ughh why can I not stop thinking about him?

She slapped her cheeks.

"Focus, focus!"

At five PM, she stretched her arms and checked the clock.

"It's only five. If I left now, I might meet him. I don't want to cross paths with Boss…" she mumbled.

'What if she never returns?'

Once again her heart hurt with pain and anger.

"I have a lot of work to do other than think about him!" She banged on the desk.

"Silence!" The librarian glared at her.

She cleared her throat. "S-sorry."

When Lihua checked the time again, she almost stumbled off her seat.

"It's eight already."

It was already dark outside.

Since final year students had their exams coming up soon, the college allowed for the library to stay open till late.

She quickly packed her bag and left, running to catch the earliest bus possible to home. But forty minutes later, the bus broke down.

The driver announced. "I apologize. This might take time to get running again. It's better if everyone gets down."

Lihua's apartment was just a little bit of walking distance away, so she didn't mind.

"Ah I am so hungry…" her stomach grumbled. She stepped into her locality's only convenience store and bought some instant ramen packets.

As she started walking back towards her apartment, she noticed that the street looked quite empty. A cold breeze brushed past her and she felt chilly.

"Brrr…" she shuddered. "Ah, it feels so lonely."

*Tap Tap Tap*

Lihua began to notice that she could hear someone walking behind her for quite some time. There was an unsettling feeling in her heart.

Maybe he has to go in the same direction too.

But even after taking two turns, she could still hear somebody walking behind her. Her gaze fell onto a closed shop's glass screen and from there she saw the reflection of a man in a hoodie following her.

She froze. Suddenly she remembered what Mrs. Zhang had said in the morning.

'A stalker is lurking around who follows young women in the dark.'

Sweat formed on her head.

I completely forgot that Aunt warned me to come earlier! It's that same stalker!

She felt her mind go blank. She tried to remember some self-defense moves Song Jia had taught her, but her mind was a complete mess. She couldn't recall anything and panic set in.

I don't even have pepper spray with me!

*Tap Tap Tap*

She felt the distance between them growing shorter and shorter.

Lihua clutched her bag hard. The mobile in her hand was shaking.

W-who should I call? No, wait. I cannot call or he will hear me.

Her heart thudded faster and faster in her chest.

She could feel that man walking just an arm's distance behind her. At that moment, Wei's face flashed in her mind instantly.

Logically, he stayed in her apartment now, so he was the closest who could reach her. But there was a problem.

I don't know his number…

Suddenly it struck her.

I have Assistant Fu's number! I will message him and he can tell the Boss about my situation.

Lihua fumbled with her phone. She was too nervous to even run because she strongly felt that the stalker would catch up to her in no time.

She tried her best to look normal and unaffected as if she didn't know about him. The moment she was about to type the message, the man behind her snatched her phone.

She froze.

The man pointed a knife on her back and eerily said, "Follow me or I will stab you right here."

---

At his new and small home now, Wei patiently waited and frequently checked out his window to see if Lihua was back.

His brows furrowed. It was late, yet she was nowhere. He thought to knock on her apartment's door.

Maybe she was back early and I didn't see her.

When he stepped out, he met an anxious Mrs. Zhang eyeing the stairway.

"Oh, it's you. Did Lihua return?"

Wei paused and frowned. He remained silent.

"See? Her door is still locked."

Wei glanced at the tightly shut door.

Mrs. Zhang worriedly said, "That girl...I already told her to come home early. Didn't I say there was a stalker lurking these days? It is dangerous."

Wei stiffened and narrowed his eyes.

Once again, he felt some strange sensation grip his chest. But it felt different than before.

Anxious? Nervous?

Without saying a word further, he quickly walked out and dialed Fu Renshu's number.

"Track Lihua right now."
