Chapter 60 - The Mafia King's Gloomy Mood

The smile on her lips froze. "Um…"

What should I say!?

Back at Mo Huojin's home, they decided to keep this investigation to themselves. Lihua would not speak a word about it to anyone even if it was her best friend, Meng Ya.

"I…"

Wei expressionlessly waited for his answer. Not only did she leave with Mo Huojin, but she also returned with him as well. Watching her come and go with another man so late at night bothered Wei a lot. He couldn't understand the anguish burning within him. Some inexplicable feelings that never knew the way to his heart crept in that gave him a sense of threat. He thought that Mo Huojin's topic was already over and she would never meet him again.

But she did tonight.

Lihua quickly said, "I remembered I didn't have some personal stuff so I headed out to buy."

Wei blinked his eyes. He failed to understand the situation. He saw how she left in Mo Huojin's car.

But she is saying that she went out shopping? He tilted his head. Lihua is...lying to me?

"All stores are closed at this time. This is what you said last time."

"..."

I dug my own grave!

She nervously laughed. "I-I mean there are some stores that are open for a full twenty-four hours. So I…"

Wei said, "I don't see any bag with you. What did you buy?"

!!!

A gulp passed down her throat. Sweat trickled down her forehead. "Oh that! I mean yes. I visited the store but I didn't find the things I was looking for. The stock got over so I came empty-handed…"

To avoid any of his questions, Lihua quickly said, "Ah look how late it has got. And tomorrow there is a test! Boss, I have to head back and sleep or I will be late for my exams. Good night!"

Lihua dashed away and disappeared.

Wei stood at his same spot, staring at her door for a long time. He was in disbelief.

Lihua lied to me. She lied to me…

In a daze, he walked to his home and sat on his couch. Only he knew how anxious he was to see Lihua go. The wait until she arrived was the most painful wait it had ever been for him especially when she went with a guy. He was tempted to follow them, but he refrained himself. It was hard, but he held patience.

Maybe there was some emergency?

But why did Lihua lie was what he couldn't understand. His gaze dimmed and he sulked. Lihua kept him in the dark about something that he didn't like at all.

Wei leaned back on his couch, staring at the ceiling as sleep refused to greet him tonight.

The next morning, Fu Renshu walked into the apartment complex and rang the doorbell to Wei's house. "Boss, it's me."

There was no response.

Fu Renshu blinked his eyes.

This is odd.

"Boss?" He knocked on the door.

"Come in."

A very quiet voice came from inside the house. If not for Fu Renshu's sharp ears and the fact that he worked with Wei for a long time, he would have missed it for sure.

He slowly opened the door and stepped inside. "Boss?"

The scene in front of him left him dumbstruck.

Wei was lying on the couch with his arm over his head. He gracefully got up and looked at Fu Renshu. Then he pursed his lips and looked away. Fu Renshu looked around the house and then at him.

Compared to the vibrant and colorful decor, Wei seemed too gloomy as if dark clouds were looming over his head. The depressing atmosphere was too hard to bear.

"Boss, what's wrong? You don't seem to be in a good mood."

It was an understatement. Wei was in a horrible mood. He couldn't sleep last night at all and Fu Renshu could see faint dark circles under his beautiful eyes.

This is the first time I am seeing Boss so moody, he thought, What happened?

He gulped.

Damn, and I have to tell him the news of his visit to the main residence too!

He smiled. "Boss, your house is so beautiful! Did that idiot Song Lihua do it? I must say she has some use after all."

The temperature dropped down even further. The grave expression on Wei's face deepened as if somebody hit his sore spot.

This was a setback to Fu Renshu.

Huh? How come talking about that idiot woman is not lifting the atmosphere? Boss always looks so happy whenever she is mentioned! This is too strange!

"Boss...are you okay?" He was worried now. Nothing affected him so much until now.

Wei coldly said, "Why have you come here?"

Fu Renshu wanted to shed tears. His Boss's cold and distant voice pierced his heart like a thorn.

"That…"

"I am not going to work today," Wei declared.

Fu Renshu froze and he widened his eyes in shock. Wei never missed a day at work in all these years and now he himself said that he was skipping a day.

This was huge!

"Of course Boss…" he cleared his throat, "I-I came here not to talk about work but something else. I got a call from-"

Wei shot a deadly glare at him that made him feel as if his soul flew away from his body. "I said I am not going to work today. I will stay at home today. No work. No calls. Leave."

He stiffened.

Boss, how can I leave without conveying Old Madam's message? And today you have to visit the main residence or it will be a big storm!

Fu Renshu tried to open his mouth, but the way Wei looked at him as if hell descended on the earth, he could only gulp his words back. It was important for him to know about the engagement but…

He bowed. "Yes, Boss."

He promptly left and closed the fire behind him. He combed his fingers through his hair, feeling confused and in a predicament.

"The Old Madam will not let this go. Ah, Boss will be trouble!"

Then he vigorously shook his head. "No! I won't let anybody point their fingers at my Boss! I will have to find a way."

Fu Renshu thought about it for a moment and quickly dialed a number. "Master Jiang. I need your help."
