Wei and Lihua sat straight on the bed, bent on their knees as if it was some formal meeting. The only sound they could hear was the clock ticking in absolute silence. Words failed to escape their mouths as both of them were thinking like crazy of various excuses to make.

Should I say that I thought that she was crying?

Should I say that I saw a mosquito so I smacked it with my lips?

Lihua knew her excuse was ridiculous, but she couldn't come up with anything else.

She gulped as she peeked at him. Somebody had to start the conversation.

"G-good morning Boss…"

Wei nodded.

Silence.

The more Lihua looked at Wei's serious and staunch expression, the more she panicked.

Damn it! He has definitely caught me! I am dead. I am dead! But I don't regret it because I got to kiss him for the last time.

She sobbed. Boss, will you hate me now? He is looking so deadly. Did I really do something to him before dozing off? And then he found me kissing now? Isn't it double suicide!?

After Wei's long silence, he finally decided to save himself by saying that he saw her crying and will quickly apologize to her. If that didn't work, banging his head was always an option.

He nodded and was about to say his script when Lihua suddenly bowed before him on the bed. "I am sorry Boss! I really thought there was a mosquito on your lips otherwise I wouldn't have kissed you."

Lihua thought it was better to come out with the truth herself rather than him exposing her.

Maybe Boss will pity me and I can reduce my death sentence.

Wei rapidly blinked his eyes. Then realization dawned on him as it registered in his brain.

Lihua kissed me?

His fingers slowly touched his lips.

Lihua, who had no idea that she dug her own grave, continued her confession. "I would never think of taking advantage of my Boss in his sleep. I promise I had no lustful thoughts at all. It was purely to save your lips from being sucked dry by that treacherous mosquito."

Wei stared at her in a daze. "You kissed me."

The thought of Lihua initiating the kiss felt as if fireworks sparked in his heart.

Lihua's heart sped faster than a bullet train. "Boss please don't think bad of me. It was only to protect you. So...so please don't fire me from my job and please don't leave from here!"

Wei tilted his head in confusion.

Fire her?

"Why do you think I will fire you?" Wei quietly asked.

Lihua sweated. "Because your employee laid her hands on you and you might misunderstand me?"

Wei frowned. "I don't understand that. But I will not fire you."

Lihua's head jerked up in delight. Tears of happiness plopped from her eyes. "Really Boss? Will I not lose my job?"

"En. After all, it's your company."

You are my woman, so Jiang Industries is yours, was what Wei thought.

At first, Lihua didn't understand his meaning.

My company?...Oh! He means that I am a part of Jiang Industries now so we are all a big family. So the company is mine too, was what Lihua thought.

Lihua nodded in appreciation.

Boss is so gracious, treating all employees as his family.

Wei silently felt relieved.

That means she doesn't know that I kissed her. But she kissed me and I was asleep.

He felt heavily disappointed and gloomy. He regretted missing that chance.

Lihua wiped her non-existent tears. "Thank you, Boss. For a moment I was afraid how I will compensate you."

Suddenly, Wei's eyes glinted as he got a crafty idea. "Indeed compensation seems feasible."

Lihua's shoulder slumped.

Guess saving my job didn't come free after all.

"W-what should I do?"

Wei grabbed her head and crashed his lips onto hers.

!!!

Lihua's eyes were wide open in utter shock. His lips were expertly maneuvering across hers like a ship knew how the waters would be. All of her brain cells rapidly plummeted to non-existence as he perfectly meshed their lips together. He tilted his head to deepen the kiss, causing Lihua to faintly whimper.

After thoroughly eating her first thing in the morning, Wei parted away, feeling satisfied. "Now we are equal. You kissed me. I kissed you."

Lihua was in no position to understand what he said. Her brain was too overloaded by the sudden kiss. "You...you…"

Wait why does Boss seem so experienced than the first two kisses? This kiss felt really different like so d-deep…Boss is so devious now!

Wei felt proud of himself.

I got to kiss her twice and she didn't know about last night too.

The Mafia King craftily trapped Lihua in her own guilt to take advantage of her.

Lihua stumbled and got off the bed. "I-I have to go back."

She dashed away and as soon as she opened the door, she bumped hard into someone. "Ouch!"

"Lihua! Hey, Don't squish my friend!" Meng Ya glared at Fu Renshu while he was still balancing himself from the impact. He was dumbfounded to see her. His gaze darkened.

"Song Lihua! What are you doing coming from Boss's house so early in the morning!?"

Meng Ya gritted her teeth. "You stop shouting first thing in the morning! So loud."

"Shut up. Song Lihua. Answer me! What are you planning?" His tall figure glowered at her.

"Renshu. Calm down," Wei stepped in.

"Boss!" Fu Renshu sobbed. "Tell me the truth. What did she do?"

"We slept together."

Fu Renshu - "..."

Meng Ya - "..."

Lihua - "!!!"

She vigorously shook her head as she eyed Fu Renshu who seemed all ready to murder her. "SLEPT TOGETHER?"

Meng Ya coughed hard. "L-Lihua I-I know you love him but so soon…? You already jumped on him?"

"No!" Lihua was horrified. As he last hope, she urgently pleaded Wei's help. "Boss! Clarify please!"

Wei blinked his eyes. "Clarify what? It's true. We slept in my room last night."
