194: The Mafia King shamelessly hears a private conversation

The Mafia King shamelessly hears a private conversation

Lihua grinned. "Just last night."

Jiang Fai pouted. "What? And I am meeting her now? That's not fair! That's so cool. We have a pet now!"

The Old Madam shot a deadly glare at him and he shut his mouth. Jiang Xiurang cleared her throat and whispered. "Don't talk about it now. I think that's why the Old Madam is in a bad mood."

He rolled his eyes. "Who can hate a cat?"

She sighed.

The Old Madam was indeed in a sour mood, so she quickly wanted to finish her announcement and head back to her room. She glanced at Jiang Ruiling and sternly said, "Ruiling. I have set up your meeting with Wen Yaoting tomorrow. The Wen group is our business partner and we have Underworld connections to them too. This relationship is profitable for our families. He is the perfect match for you."

Jiang Ruiling said nothing. She had already heard from Wei yesterday and was expecting this announcement any time.

Jiang Weiyuan paused as he silently stared at his mother. His wife, Jiang Ninghong remained quiet too. Nobody could detect their thoughts behind their unreadable expressions.

Lihua whispered to Wei. "Wei. Will Jiang Ruiling really have to meet that guy? I mean doesn't she and Shen Yang…"

Wei said, "It won't matter if they don't come out with it."

She looked a little anxious. "But Jiang Ruiling likes Shen Yang. This will be against her wishes."

"Does Shen Yang like her too?"

She was stumped. "He does. I mean it's so evident, but he isn't willing to admit it…"

"So if Ruiling says that she likes him, but he says he doesn't, then the whole matter is pointless."

That was harsh but equally true.

The Old Madam said, "Be at your best possible behavior tomorrow, Ruiling. Don't embarrass the Jiang family at any cost. I only want to hear praises from Wen Yaoting tomorrow."

She gracefully smiled. "Yes, Old Madam."

Lihua was a little taken aback. She nudged her husband. "Wei. She seems so calm. I mean if it was someone else, they would have surely panicked. Isn't she scared that she might really have to marry that guy?"

"That depends on what she is thinking."

Lihua pouted. She glanced at Jiang Weiyuan and Jiang Ninghong.

I wonder if they like Wen Yaoting...They didn't say a word about this whole thing until now. As her parents, what do they think of this?

"Lihua, wait!"

Lihua, the cat was scurrying around the corridor, and Lihua the human was helplessly chasing after her. "It's feeding time. Aren't you hungry?"

*Meow*

She ignored her and kept running until she reached a room's door. As she was about to scratch the door with her paws, Lihua quickly picked her and berated her. "Hey! You cannot do that or your Momma will get beatings from the Old Madam. No scratching doors," she pouted.

She heard some faint whispers coming from inside and recognized Jiang Ruiling's voice.

Inside, Jiang Ruiling had wrapped her arms around Shen Yang's neck, making him freeze. But he didn't let it affect his stern expression. "Young mistress…"

She smiled and seductively brushed her finger along his jawline. "So Shen Yang. You must have heard about Wen Yaoting. I have a date with him tomorrow."

He said nothing.

"And if everything goes well, we will soon have the engagement ceremony and then get married."

"...Yes, young mistress."

Outside, Wei saw Lihua sticking her ear to the door. He curiously tilted his head and stepped behind her. Lihua almost screamed, feeling a presence behind her. But she was relieved to see Wei.

Damn, I thought somebody caught me!

"What are you-"

"Ssshh!" She hushed and put her finger on his lips. "It's Shen Yang inside Jiang Ruiling's room. I am listening to their conversation. You listen in too!"

She went back to sticking her ear on the door. Wei obediently nodded and copied Lihua's actions.

The elegant Mafia King was now shamelessly hearing a private conversation thanks to his wife.

Lihua, the cat had a bored expression on her face.

Dumb humans...

"So…" Jiang Ruiling tiptoed and pressed her chest on his as she sensuously said, "Don't you think you should give me a good parting memory before I become Mrs. Wen?"

Shen Yang ever so slightly trembled to hear the term Mrs. Wen. But he regained his composure.

"Young mistress. I have to be on duty."

"Work can come later. It never ends, does it? But my time to remain as an unmarried woman won't be for long. So before it happens, how about you taint me?"

Lihua choked hard and clutched her chest.

Jiang Ruiling is really bold.

She quickly turned to see Wei's expression, but well...he was hardly affected.

"..."

Well if he didn't mind them making out in the changing room, this would be nothing to him.

"Wei...is it really what I think it is?"

Wei unceremoniously said, "Isn't she talking about sex?"

!!!

Lihua silently coughed. "I guess yes…"

Wei nodded and went back to listening. Her mouth twitched.

Wei is really…

Inside, Shen Yang's expression finally cracked as he looked at her in disbelief. He wondered if he heard it right.

Jiang Ruiling smiled. "You are thinking it right. You know that I like you. You like me too but don't dare to confess. I cannot force you to come out with it. But…" her finger trailed down to his Adam's apple, making him twitch.

He straightened up. "Young mistress please-"

"But we can share our first time in our love's memory."

He froze.

"I mean I am already marrying a man and compromising my life to live with someone who will treat me as a tool for money and connections."1

Shen Yang widened his eyes. "Of course not, young mistress! He will...he will genuinely like you back…" he felt a dull pain in his chest. "You are a wonderful person. Any man would treat you with love and respect."

"But you aren't," she smiled.

He stiffened.

"Well, let's not get into that. Like I was saying, I already have to compromise my marriage. But I won't compromise on my first time. So Shen Yang. Sleep with me."
