Chapter 319 - The Mafia King Likes His Family Now
After having a sumptuous dinner, Wei closed Lihua's eyes and brought her to the terrace.
"Wei. Pleaseeee. I want to see it. Why are you being so mysterious?"
Wei smiled. "Just a little more."
He opened the door and a cool, soothing breeze brushed past them. Lihua wondered. "Are we…"
He removed his hands. Lihua blinked a little and then she slowly opened her eyes.
The huge terrace was beautifully decorated with small candles attached within small, round glasses whose warm yellow light shone through it, lighting up the terrace. Its gleam mixed with the lights of the tiny lamps that were spirally wired at the top until the edge of the railing.
It was a terrace garden, filled with green potted plants, blooming with violet lilies. The floor was a bed of grass that stretched the entire ground. It felt soft and fluffy under her feet.
But the thing that caught the most attention was a king-size bed right at the center of the terrace. Violet curtains hugged from a pole akin to a roof. The bedsheet was also violet that spread like a big blanket.
Lihua was left stunned and speechless.
Everything was in violet - her favorite color.
"Wei…I think if you could, you would have forced the grass to turn violet too," she laughed.
Wei seriously nodded. "I wanted to."
"..."
"But the grass is green. I could have bought an artificial one, but I wanted it to be natural."
She pinched his cheeks hard. "Wei. This is beautiful. But what is the occasion? Our anniversary still has a few days left."
"Yes but since we were already here, I thought to show it to you. I will give you a different surprise on our anniversary."
"Wei, you are spoiling me too much…"
Though she sounded as if she was complaining, she was actually thrilled and touched by all these arrangements.
"En. I will spoil you lots."
He pulled her hand and stood behind her near the railing. Their villa was at the top of the mountain and as such, the night view that greeted them was spectacular.
Lihua could see the whole island at a glance. The sound of the waves crashing at the shore made a sweet symphony with the hustling of the wind. The sight of the unending and enthralling sea made her tingle. At the beach during sunset, there were quite fewer stars in the sky. But now, it was scintillating with them, casting their mellow light on the couple.
This was truly the place where she felt all her fear and restlessness dissipate into the air.
Wei leaned his chin on her shoulder. "You like it?"
She softly smiled. "Very. This is a breathtaking view. This feels like we are in some other world. Just the two of us."
Wei hugged her waist and buried his face in her neck. "I want to live here with you."
She laughed. "Haha, you will get bored of seeing me for the whole day. Though I can gaze at your Godly handsome face forever."
He frowned and glanced at her. "Never. I don't want anyone else but you. I don't feel like going back. I want us to live here. Just the two of us. I won't have to share you with anybody. You will give all your attention to me too…"
"But I do pay attention to you," she pouted, "When have I ever ignored you?"
Wei looked downcast. "Previously, it was just us. But since I brought you to Jiang villa, you have started spending more time with others."
Sometimes, Wei strongly felt that he should have lived with Lihua in a separate residence just like his mother and father. That way, he would always be the point of her focus.
"Hmm…" Lihua stared at him. "I only helped a bit to make things better between everybody. Tell me honestly. Do you prefer to live in a family where everybody was so distant before? Or in an atmosphere where everyone is united like a true family?"
Wei thought about it.
For all these years, he only felt a distaste of returning to that cold home where nobody bothered with one another. It was just a huge lonely mansion to live in. That's why he was so eager to shift next to Lihua's home in her apartment complex. He didn't understand why, but he felt drawn towards her simple and warm life. He didn't mind the small house as long as he got to hear her laughter and have dinner together with her.
But after twenty-eight years now, his family was finally being a united family. Of course, he majorly liked to talk to Lihua as much as possible. But now, he was slowly getting used to talking to his cousins and Uncle and Aunts. She opened a way for him to connect to his family, and as he helped them face their struggles, he also began and to feel caring and empathetic towards them.
Wei really liked how his family was right now. There were no arguments and no fighting. No hesitation and fear. The bonding that was supposed to be present years ago was beginning to take its shape now.
They lived in fear only because of Jiang Shan. If Lihua had not stepped in, they might have never come to know that Old Madam was also suffering just like them. She was a puppet just how her family was.
Wei was the Mafia King. It was his family. And to know that somebody was shackling its happiness for years now wasn't something that he would tolerate.
Wei softly said, "I like it now."
Lihua smiled. "Yes. You might have lost those feelings along the way, but you always wanted your family to be like this, right?"
"En," he nodded, rubbing his cheek on her neck. "It's only because of you."
She giggled.
Wei tenderly kissed her cheek as he whispered, "Thank you for coming into my life."
Lihua hugged him and grinned. "Thank you for coming into my life too!"
She tip-toed and kissed his lips.
