《The Mafia King’s First Love》The Mafia King's First Love

Jiang Li and Shen Yang solemnly said, "Yes, Aunt."
"En. Also...I know that Wei is a little withdrawn from you, but I hope you could support your brother. He doesn't show it, but I know that he cares for you."
Jiang Ruiling chuckled. "Don't worry, Aunt. We are living in harmony, and it's all because of sister-in-law Lixue."
Jiang Lanying eagerly nodded. "Yes! She is really the best! It's as if she waves a magic wand like a fairy and everything becomes alright. It's because of her that we all feel so closer to Wei than before as a family."
Jiang Li was a little dissatisfied by how his wife was continuously complimenting Lihua.
Jiang Yubi naturally felt proud. "She is one of a kind. I am so happy to see that Wei found such a partner for him," her gaze was warm as she thought of them together.
But when she recalled Wei's lie and Lihua's memory loss, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart. She knew that Wei had made a grave mistake by doing this and she was afraid of what would happen if the day comes when Lihua comes to know the truth.
She glanced at them, who were standing at a side, holding hands and laughing together. There was nothing but love in her eyes for Wei.
But how long would it last?
I should talk to Wei about this...This is wrong. What he has done is wrong. His actions will only make it worse for his marriage the more he hides it.
"Aunt?"
Jiang Ruiling's voice brought her out of her stupor. "Ah, yes, yes."
After all the gifts were given, Lihua took the mike and came forward. "Now it's time for a dance! I think everybody is excited to see our beautiful couple, right? Dad."

Jiang Weizhe smiled and offered his hand. Jiang Yubi shyly put her hand in his as he led her to the center. A beautiful melody played in the background. Their dance was perfect sync as their steps matched.
Lihua dreamily stared at them. "Ahh doesn't she look like Cinderella and her prince charming dancing together? They look so beautiful."
Mingshen snorted from behind her. "Such an emotional fool."
Lihua glared at them. "A psycho doctor like you will never understand the beauty of such a delicate dance!"
"I am not insane to want to understand that," he sneered.
"That's why you will never get a girlfriend," she harrumphed.
He shrugged. "Who cares?"
With such a cold aura emanating from him, none of the women could gather up the courage to ask for a dance.
I prefer to live a little longer!
Wei offered his hand and softly smiled. "Shall we?"
Lihua widened her eyes. "I-I don't know how to dance. I don't want to embarrass you…"
"My pride lies in you. You never embarrass me," his deep voice said in absolute certainty.
"You…" her cheeks flushed.
They joined the dance floor too along with Yang Cheng and Yang Bingqing.
Wei patiently taught her the basic steps of the dance that she seriously listened to, but in the end, only repeatedly stomped on his foot. They were the only couple who danced out of sync thanks to Lihua.
"This dance is hard…" she sobbed.
However, Wei was unfazed. In fact, his gaze was warm and indulging as he stared down at his cute wife pouting.
He pulled her waist closer and gently guided her. He smiled. "Don't worry. You are still cute. I just want us to be close like this. The dance doesn't matter."

Lihua blushed hard. "Y-you never fail to flirt!"
The guests - "..."
Almost all the wives know that if they mess up like this in front of everyone, their husbands and family would chew them out for embarrassing them.
But the prestigious CEO of the Jiang family looked at Lihua with only love shining in his eyes. The socialites accusingly glared at their husbands as if showing them how to be like Wei. The husbands only lowered their heads in embarrassment.
The dance peacefully went on for a while. But then few of the guests started questioning about Old Madam's absence. They wondered if she really didn't like her daughter-in-law, hence refused to be a part of this banquet which again pointed questions at Jiang Yubi's background.
The whispers grew more and more intense, and Lihua knew that she had to come up with something to appease everyone.
But just then, the thin figure of Old Madam came into sight at the villa's entrance. The Jiang family's members froze, especially Jiang Yubi.
She was finally here, descending a deep silence in the hall.
The Old Madam threw a glance at all the decorations and then at Jiang Yubi, who trembled a little. Her gaze was devoid of any emotions.
"The Old Madam is here!"
Jiang Fai only prayed to God that she doesn't start yelling and shouting. He felt his heart in his throat when he saw her coming.
The peaceful atmosphere was threatened by her presence. Everybody anxiously waited for her to speak.
The Old Madam smiled. "Apologies that I arrived a little late, everyone."
She walked up to Jiang Yubi, her every step increasing the tension in the air. Jiang Weizhe was already in a defensive mode as he narrowed his eyes. He even wanted to step in between them, but Jiang Yubi squeezed his hand and stopped him.
"Don't," she whispered.
He pursed his lips and reluctantly backed off. If she said a single word against his wife, he was prepared to fight her in front of all the guests. He didn't care about his reputation, but if she hurt Jiang Yubi, he won't stay quiet.
With her heart thudding in her chest, Jiang Yubi faced her and softly smiled. "Old Madam."
The Old Madam stared at her, her expression unreadable. Jiang Yubi's apprehension grew more and more. She was prepared to be lashed out by her.
But on the contrary, Old Madam slowly took out a gift box and said, "Happy birthday, Yubi."
