The elderly man stared at her with a deadpan expression, his face solemn and serious as if the price tag on the tea packet was an eighth wonder of the world. He faced her with great curiosity as he expected an answer from her.

Lihua was totally dumbfounded. Words weren't enough to describe just how speechless she felt.

Deja Vu! How can this man say the same things as Boss! He doesn't just resemble him appearance wise, but his words match too! He is definitely related to Boss somehow!

As time passed, his brows increasingly furrowed, waiting for her answer. Lihua laughed as sweat dripped down her sides, "I-If I may ask, just how expensive tea do you drink exactly, Sir?"

The elderly man tilted his head as if he was seriously giving a thought to her question. "Da Hong Pao."

"!!!"

"D-Da Hong Pao!? Isn't that the most expensive tea in the world!?"

"It has that title as you say," he calmly stated.

S-somebody please bring a stretcher here...I am gonna faint.

"I-I see…"

"En. So why is this tea so cheap?"

Of course, if you are comparing a six-dollar tea to six lakh dollar tea you will surely find it ridiculous!

"Sir, it's just a normal brand of tea, not anything fancy like-like Da Hong Pao…"

"Poor people love this tea?" The ice beauty asked as he studied the packet. "Interesting."

"..."

Then the man's gaze fell on Lihua's cart and he noticed the pack of the chocolate chip cookie. He read the brand name and instantly turned somber.

'Dear, since you are in the supermarket anyway, please buy Mickey's chocolate chip cookie. I love it!' was what his beautiful wife had asked him to do.

He pointed at that packet. "Where do I get that?"

Lihua followed the direction he pointed at. "Oh, this! The cookies section is over there! But if you want Mickey's one, then this was the last packet."

The man's gaze darkened and a heavy expression settled on his beautiful face. He instantly switched his demeanor as if he was Lihua's enemy.

He coldly said, "Hand me-"

Lihua, who didn't notice the change in the atmosphere, chirped as she handed him the cookie packet. "You can have it if you want."

His hand froze in mid-air. He rapidly blinked at her. The iciness in his eyes suddenly vanished as if it never arose in the first place. The threat in his demeanor disappeared instantly. "You will give it to me?"

"Sure."

"It is the last packet," he was a little suspicious.

"It's alright! I will buy from some other place. I don't mind."

He studied her carefully and felt that she indeed meant it. He quietly took the packet from her, still wondering why she handed it so easily without having to threaten her.

Lihua nodded to herself. She didn't like keeping it for herself if the elderly man before her wanted it. Plus, he seemed as if he really wanted the cookies.

"Sir, do you like this brand?" She curiously asked.

The man's gaze softened. "It is my wife's favorite."

Lihua felt as if an arrow shot through her heart.

He is so cute! Damn his wife must be so lucky to have him. He is so doting. Ah, will my Godly handsome prince be so doting as him?

She brightened. "Oh! She has a really good choice! Mickey's cookies are really delicious."

The man slightly widened his eyes as if he heard something unexpected. "Isn't it? She has a really good choice."

Lihua bobbed her head hard. "Indeed. What else does she like?"

Compared to his bland demeanor earlier, his facial expressions and body language suddenly changed as if he was really enjoying this discussion with her.

"She likes artistic things a lot. Flowery and small. She loves to decorate our room with them."

Lihua got a great idea. "Oh-oh! Then maybe she will love this too." She took out the small candles that Wei had picked from the shelf. "Why don't you take some of these? I am sure she will love it."

He curiously studied them and nodded. "It indeed matches her taste."

Lihua grinned. "Your wife seems to be a lovely woman."

A gentle smile laced his lips. "She is indeed. That's why I love her so much."

Hearing the sincerity in his voice made her feel warm and fuzzy too. "You two are really lucky to have one another."

"No. It's me who is lucky to have her."

Aiyaaaa...so much fluff!

He thought for a moment and said, "You are gracious for giving me all this."

Lihua waved her hand. "Ah, it's nothing. It's a pleasure."

"You should get a reward," and he took out a small booklet that for some reason, Lihua found too familiar to a certain Mafia King's actions. He tore a leaf and said, "Your reward."

!!!

A blank cheque again!!

Lihua stared at him in disbelief. "S-sir what are you doing?"

"Thanking you."

She lacked tears to shed. Why do I always meet such extreme people? "Sir, can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"Are you related to Boss anyhow? Oh, I mean Jiang Wei."

The man quietly stared at her with an unreadable gaze. He was seriously contemplating something in his mind.

"Lihua."

They heard Wei's voice and Lihua turned to face him. "Boss! You came at the right time."

He blinked his eyes. "Hm?"

"I think you would definitely know this person…"

But when she looked again, that elderly man was already gone. She checked left and right, but she didn't see him.

"Where did he go?"

"Who?"

"Boss! You wouldn't believe me. I met an elderly man who resembled you so much! Even his *cough* words…"

Wei frowned. "A man that resembles me?"

"En! But I don't know where he disappeared…"

Wei silently gave it a thought.

Was it him?

She sighed. "Anyway. We cannot do anything now. Oh let's pay the bill. We are done shopping."

At the bill counter, Wei swiftly took out his black card.

Rule no. 3. The man should always pay the bill.

Lihua almost spat out in shock. Is that the legendary black card?

Even the woman at the counter coughed hard. But Lihua quickly hid it. "Ahahaha…it's a mistake..haha…"

Lihua asked in a panic, "Boss why a black card?"

Wei innocently said, "To pay the bill."

She sobbed.

"Boss, this is not a fancy store just a supermarket. You cannot use black card here or people will faint!"

"Oh…" This was something new to him. He nodded in understanding.

Phew.

But her relief was short-lived when she saw him taking his Platinum card instead. She almost puked blood at that sight.

"Boss, don't you have a normal card?" She whispered.

"What is a normal card?" He blinked his eyes.

"Which is not black, platinum, silver or gold."

Wei pursed his lips, clearly indicating that the Mafia King didn't have such a thing.

"..."

"B-Boss let me pay the bill okay?"

---

Outside the supermarket at a distance, the elderly man entered his luxurious Porsche where a woman about his age but slightly younger than him, waited for him eagerly. Her complexion was a little pale and sickly.

"Weizhe," her soft voice beamed as he entered, "Did you meet Wei?"
