Wei and Lihua continued shopping. As he came across the various sections and observed the products displayed on the shelves, be noted one important fact.

"These are really cheap."

"..."

"Are they good quality?"

"..."

"Even if you are really poor, you cannot compromise on the standards," he frowned.

!!!

The people around him stared at him, feeling dumbfounded. They couldn't believe their ears that he was calling the expensive products cheap. For middle-class families like them, the cost wasn't cheaper for them.

Just who is that man who says that these are inexpensive!

Lihua felt the stabbing gazes of the other customers. She coughed hard and tugged him. "Boss. The prices are just fine."

Wei questioningly glanced at her. "Is that so?"

He was suspiciously staring hard at the tea brand.

Boss, just how expensive tea do you drink? She seriously questioned.

Her sight went onto a big sugar packet and she bent to pick it up.

Wei stopped her. "I will do that."

He picked up the heavy five kgs sugar bag and placed it on the trolley.

Rule No. 2. Carry all the things yourself. Don't make your woman move around the heavy stuff.

From the beginning, Wei refused to let her carry anything even if it was as light as a chips packet. She pointed towards the item while Wei retrieved it in their cart.

As her man, I should do all this stuff.

"B-Boss you are not letting me do anything…" she cried."

Wei nodded and patted her head. "You don't have to."

Ah, his pats are so gentle…Boss you will spoil me like that.

As they moved on, Lihua brightened as she saw something. "Boss, look at these candles! They are so pretty."

Wei studied them. The candles had a beautiful and artistic design, colored in a gradient of red and orange. They perfectly fit in one's palm. As he glanced at her gleaming expression, he softly smiled, "You like them?"

"En! They are cute."

He nodded. "We will take all of them."

And he unceremoniously emptied that shelf. Once again, she got speechless. "Boss we don't need that many!"

Wei seriously said, "No. If you like them, we take all of them."

"B-But I really don't need that many. Plus we cannot hog all of them to ourselves. We have to think about the other customers too who might want them."

Wei raised his brow at her logic. "We don't have to think about others."

As the Mafia King, he was always taught to rule as he deemed fit. The first and foremost person he should think about was himself. There was no space in his life to think about others. This fact was grilled onto him ever since he was a child.

Selflessness wasn't a virtue in the Underworld.

Lihua shook her head. "No, we do. It's selfish to only think about ourselves. See? Everybody here is only taking the things as much as they need. Nothing more. Nothing less."

"It's a simple principle. If you get greedy and take everything for yourself then one day would come when you will be left with nothing and that day, nobody would help you. What goes around comes around."

Wei pursed his lips.

Rule no. 3. Always listen to your woman. Don't defy her or you will face her wrath.

"Alright…"

Lihua smiled in satisfaction.

Ah, my Godly handsome prince learns so fast. He is an excellent student indeed.

But she saw that Wei took out only one candle and put it back on the shelf. "Done."

"..."

Out of the twenty candles, he put back only one.

"Only one?"

"En. You said to keep some for others. I did."

Lihua nearly spat out. "I didn't mean by just one!"

After much convincing, Wei finally settled for five candles. He didn't want to be any more gracious to other people, and Lihua couldn't convince him any more.

They moved onto the veggies section where Lihua terribly embarrassed herself by the lack of her knowledge of fresh ingredients. Surprisingly, Wei had no trouble in identifying the freshest ingredients. He easily picked the best ones out of the group.

Wei's brows furrowed. "You always shop by yourself?"

Lihua awkwardly averted her gaze. "More or less... Sometimes Aunt Zhang helps me..."

"I see. You have trouble picking good veggies because you cannot cook well. So you don't understand the ingredients."

!!!

Sometimes Wei would so bluntly target her sore spot that Lihua just wished to disappear from the face of this earth.

He insulted her without actually having any intention to do so.

"Leave the veggies to me from next time. It will be dangerous if you pick them."

She shed invisible tears.

Critical hit!

They reached the last food and chips section. At the same time, Wei's phone buzzed with a call. He saw the incoming number and frowned. Wei didn't want to pick it up and interrupt their shopping date.

Lihua said, "It's fine. Go ahead, Boss. We are almost done."

Wei pursed his lips. "I will be back in a minute."

As he stepped away, Lihua was browsing through the eatery items. She saw a chocolate chip cookie packet that was the last in line.

"Oh, it's my favorite!"

She grabbed it and grinned. "Hehe. I got it!"

As she waited for Wei, she noticed a middle-aged man staring at a similar packet really hard. But what stunned her was that even at that age, he looked extremely handsome on par as Wei himself.

Not just that, she felt that he strikingly resembled Wei a lot. His face, features, posture, and expression reminded her exactly of Wei.

Who is he? He looks so much like my Boss!

Lihua peeked a bit more and indeed found that he looked like Wei a lot.

Am I dreaming? Or have I started seeing my Godly handsome prince in everybody?

Lihua slowly approached him. She noticed that he was silently studying the packet so deeply as if thinking something hard.

What is he reading so much?

"Excuse me?"

That elderly man slowly faced her. Her breath got caught in her throat as she clearly saw his face this time. He was someone who could still make women swoon over him even at that age.

Oh my God! He really looks like my Boss! Gosh, he is so handsome! Are they brothers?

Lihua found it really strange, but she quickly snapped out of her stupor.

"Um...do you need any help? I noticed that you are observing that packet for a long time."

That man didn't comment for a long time. But he seemed to observe her very carefully. His gaze was unreadable as he studied her. Lihua felt strangely nervous under his scrutiny.

Silence.

"I was wondering something," he finally spoke in a low, barely audible voice.

"Ah yes? Maybe I can help you," Lihua politely smiled.

That man glanced at the tea packet he held in his hand and said,

"These are really cheap."

Lihua blinked her eyes rapidly.

"Are they good quality?"

"..."

"Even if you are really poor, you cannot compromise on the standards," that man furrowed his brows.
