259: Who holds the most important place

Who holds the most important place

"Wei. What must be happening between them? I still haven't gotten Jiang Lanying's message yet. Is that idiot Jiang Li refusing to talk at all?"

Lihua was anxiously pacing back and forth in another room adjacent to Jiang Li's that Wei booked to keep an eye on them. She was constantly checking her phone to see if Jiang Lanying would message her or not.

"Does Jiang Li really plan to stay locked up in that room forever?" She fumed.

Wei calmly stared at his wife and then patted the space on the bed. "Sit."

Lihua pouted and sat beside him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her head into his lap. He smiled as he brushed his fingers through her silky hair. "My wife's plan has never failed and it won't fail today either. I am sure that they must be talking it out."

"Really?"

"En."

She sighed. Then she looked up at Wei and asked, "Wei. What Lai Chang said...is it really true?"

He pursed his lips and nodded. "I immediately told Renshu to check his claims and it is true indeed."

"But how? Was Jiang Li always…"

"No. He got into an accident that caused his condition?"

"Ah?" She widened her eyes. "Accident?"

Wei nodded and told her everything about Jiang Li's Shanghai trip and the attack on him.

Lihua gasped. "Damn it! But it was an abandoned chemical factory. How could there be any remaining chemicals especially if they are so hazardous?"

"It was all the enemy's plan to kill Li. They wanted to burn him to death along with the factory to avoid any traces. So, they arranged for such a factory."

Her gaze dimmed. "And then he hid this fact to keep his condition a secret from everyone."

"En. He was supposed to be back in three days, but he returned a week later as he was recuperating in the hospital. He told us that he had some other things to do at the last moment so it extended his stay."

*I see...But why not tell the truth? It is not shameful at all. It was the enemy group's fault who hurt Jiang Li."

Wei thought about it and slowly said, "Maybe he didn't want Lanying to hate him and then leave him?"

Lihua blinked her eyes. "Why would she leave him? In fact, this is the time when she would support him the most."

Wei pursed his lips. "I wonder...if I was at Li's place, I might have hidden it from you too."

Lihua puffed up her cheeks and grabbed his face. "My Godly handsome hubby. Do you really think that I would leave you for not being able to give a child?"

"But-"

"No buts. Wei, you should understand one thing that I will never ever leave your side. No matter what troubles you are facing, I will always be with you just like how you are always with me. There is no question of abandoning you at any time," she seriously said. "Aish. You men should stop assuming things."

A smile beamed on his lips and he kissed her forehead. "En."

She pinched his nose. "Don't even think about hiding anything from me or I won't talk to you anymore."

Song Jia flashed in his mind for a moment, but he quickly discarded her thought. "En."

"Alright!" Lihua jumped on her feet and said, "Time to check on them! No response from Jiang Lanying until now seems really suspicious."

Lihua eagerly stepped out of her room and put her ear in front of Jiang Li's room's door. She frowned as she couldn't hear anything.

Is Jiang Li still keeping his silence?

Wei tapped on her shoulder and she turned. "They are fine. We should leave."

"Ah?" She whispered. "How do you know?"

"I heard them."

"Heard what?"

"Having sex."

Lihua was about to choke hard, but she somehow controlled herself. "W-what?"

"En. It was faint but I heard some noises."

"..."

"Seems like they have sorted it out."

No wonder she didn't drop any message...

"Since they are enjoying their time, let's do the same," Wei seriously said.

She blushed. "Wei!"

---

The next morning, Jiang Lanying woke up with an ache in her nether regions. She blushed upon remembering last night.

"Hm, I missed your cute face."

She jolted and looked at her side to see that Jiang Li was already staring at her with his head leaning on his palm.

"Also, I forgot to tell you last night but you looked sexy in the waiter's uniform. Men's clothes suit you huh…"

She coughed. "T-that was Lixue's idea."

He raised his brow. "What was her idea?"

"Well...Wei said to the manager of this hotel that he wanted a waiter's uniform for me and he also asked to give your room number. Of course, he couldn't reject it when Wei was talking to him…"

Jiang Li's mouth twitched.

Of course, Wei was the Mafia King. Who would dare go against him?

"Then Lixue told me to change into the uniform and go to your room with the pretense of checking a gas leakage. She would lock the door from outside as soon as I stepped in."

"..."

"What if I refused to talk to you?"

"Lixue was absolutely serious when she said that she wouldn't open the door until you talk to me. Even if it took days, she would still keep us locked up here."

"That woman…"

"It was a simple but effective plan. How long would you have kept your silence? Lai Chang had already exposed everything anyway."

He narrowed his eyes and pinched her jaw. "And you colluded with her?"

She pursed her lips. "You left me with no choice."

He snorted.2

Jiang Lanying smiled. "She is amazing. I cannot believe that she has such simple solutions to all the problems. It feels that they won't work but they actually do."

"Why do I feel that you are becoming her fan? Stay away from her," he coldly said.

She looked at him, surprised.

"As your husband, I should hold the most important place in your heart."
