Chapter 244 - The Mafia King Sets An Example
Jiang Lanying slightly blushed. "N-Nothing…"
Jiang Li stared at her and raised his brow. Little Weiwei said, "They kiss! They kiss!" ??
Her face brightened even more and she lowered her head. "I-It was an accident…"
"Ohh~~~"
Lihua left it at that and cleared her throat. "Are you done choosing clothes for Lihua?"
She nodded.
"Great! Let's pay for them and head for lunch. And then we will shop even more, haha!"
Lihua secretly gifted a teddy bear to the little girl and winked before they left. She eagerly waved her goodbye.
They settled at a restaurant and after the food was served, Lihua secretly glanced at Wei and he nodded.
He picked a generous amount of meat and put it on her plate. Lihua grinned. "Wei, you have put in too much meat. I will become fat."
He patted her head and smiled. "You need to eat more."
And so the lovey-dovey couple didn't lose any chance in showing public display of affection to the max. They fed each other and kept putting food into each other's plates.
Jiang Li quietly sipped his water. When he looked at Jiang Lanying's plate, he frowned. He picked a few pieces of meat and put them on her plate.
"Don't eat so little," he sternly said.
Jiang Lanying quickly said, "I am not really hungry…"
He tilted his head. "Are you not feeling well?"
"I am fine."
"Then why so little appetite? Even at home, you eat too little," he narrowed his eyes.
"No, I just always eat that much…"
Jiang Li said nothing. He added even more veggies and meat into her plate, making her speechless. "Eat."
She peeked at him. "I cannot eat this much-"
A stern glare towards her made her immediately back out.
Ah, so cute! Lihua smiled. Jiang Li really cares about her. Hmph. He just doesn't express it!
Lihua felt a soft sensation on her lips and she saw Wei brushing his thumb. "W-Wei what are you doing?"
This is a public place…
"There was a grain of rice on your mouth," he said.
"Oh!"
He diligently wiped the rice grain off her lips and fed her another piece of meat which she happily chomped upon. Everybody could see imaginary flowers blooming around the couple.
Jiang Li peeked at her and saw that there was a light stain of curry on the corner of her lips.
Lihua giggled as she noticed his small gestures towards her.
Jiang Li slowly raised his hand and softly touched her lips. Jiang Lanying stiffened in a daze. Her ears turned red, feeling his thumb gently wiping her mouth.
"What…"
"A little curry," he stated.
"I see."
Feeling embarrassed, she quickly took a tissue and wiped her mouth. "Sorry."
He paused. "Why are you sorry?"
"Um, it's just a little embarrassing-"
"You don't have to worry about etiquette so much."
Jiang Ruiling looked at him in a stupor and softly smiled.
Lihua raised her brow.
Hooooo~
Jiang Lanying excused herself for the ladies' room. When she exited five minutes later, she suddenly felt a strong push from behind her and she stumbled in the front. She gasped and fell on the floor, twisting her foot.
"Ouch…" she rubbed her ankle in pain.
"Oh, I am really sorry! Are you okay- Oh it's Lanying!"
Jiang Lanying lifted her head and saw her cousin, Hou Zhenzhen, looking at her in surprise. She slightly stiffened and awkwardly smiled.
"Zhenzhen…"
She smiled. "Yes, it's me. Long time no see. Oh, my bad! I am really sorry for bumping into you. Are you okay?" She looked concerned.
"I am fine…"
She slowly got up but a sharp pain shot in her feet.
"I-I am really sorry, Lanying...I was too busy checking my phone."
Jiang Lanying smiled. "It's okay."
Though she felt that the push shouldn't have been so hard…
"Zhenzhen, I was looking all over for you and you are here."
Lai Chang's gaze shifted on Lanying and he narrowed his eyes. "If it isn't Jiang Lanying."
"Hello Lai Chang…" she faintly smiled.
Jiang Lanying slowly got up on her feet. "It was nice meeting you. I need to go back-"
"Why so much hurry?" He smiled. "We have met after a long time, haven't we? I think the last time was when you rejected me."
Hou Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable. She laughed it off. "Chang, you will always be a meanie. Why talk about the past now?" Saying that, she hooked her arm around his.
Jiang Lanying noticed this and asked, "Are you two…"
She smiled. "Yes, we are engaged."
"Oh. Congratulations," she smiled that irked Hou Zhenzhen.
Hou Zhenzhen said, "Lanying, I hope you are not uncomfortable."
"Why would I be uncomfortable?"
She hesitated. "I mean that Chang had proposed to you before so…"
Jiang Lanying slightly coughed.
She wondered why she was bringing that up again when she said it herself not to talk about the past.
"I am not uncomfortable, Zhenzhen. I am really happy for you two. You look good together."
Lai Chang snorted. "Where is your husband by the way? Or have you come here alone?"
"He is with me. I am just heading back to our table."
"How will you go back with that limp foot? I will help you."
"No, no. I am fine. I can walk."
Lai Chang blocked her way and said, "I said I will help you. Or do we have to act like strangers just because you rejected me?" He sneered.
"I don't mean that way. I am really fine."
Hou Zhenzhen slightly grimaced. "It's okay, Lanying. Let him help you. He can help you as your future brother-in-law, right?"
Jiang Lanying said, "No, I am really-"
"Oh come on! Don't be so stubborn!"
He was about to grab her wrist when a hand suddenly caught him.
Jiang Li stared at him as if a disaster would befall any moment. The atmosphere froze so quickly and suddenly that they felt a sharp chill run down their spine. His cold gaze was devoid of any emotions.
"If it isn't Lai Chang who my wife rejected two years back. What a small world to see you here."
