To so intimately call his name, Lihua felt embarrassed. It was understandable since they were married, but still…

She partly opened her mouth and was about to whisper his name. "W-Wei…"

As if butterflies tickled his stomach, a soft smile curved his lips upwards. He kissed her forehead. "En."

She blushed.

On the huge bed, they slept cuddling at the center of the quilt. Being wrapped in his arms felt warm and comfortable.

"Can I ask you something?"

"En."

"How did we meet?"

Wei lowered his gaze and looked at her small, expectant face shining in curiosity.

She pursed her lips. "Now that I don't remember anything, I want to know how we met."

I mean I have to know just where I met such a Godly handsome man! What is that heavenly place that marked our beginning?

Of course, Wei was bursting in happiness to know that she wanted to know more about him. But he was a little hesitant too. What if it might trigger something in her?

But Mingshen had told him that a little bit of past reminiscence is fine as long as she doesn't meet or directly hear about Song Jia or the Song family.

"In college," he softly said.

Lihua looked at him, dumbfounded. "College? Aren't you older than me and a CEO too? How come you are a student?" She touched her chin.

Wei rapidly blinked his eyes and stared at her. His lips automatically curved into a soft chuckle that broke into laughter. Lihua's eyes slightly widened and she looked at him, mesmerized by his smile. His laughter echoed in her ears was akin to a sweet melody humming in it.

What is this extra dose of handsomeness after his smile! He is already Godly handsome but with his smile...he looks like an otherworldly being!

Wei was so surprised by her question that he couldn't stop laughing. For a moment, he wondered if the Lihua who put forth that condition and who asked this question were one and the same?

Basically, he just meant that Lihua was dumb in Fu Renshu's style, but of course, his blind love for her didn't let him admit that.

He tapped her nose and smiled. "I am not a student. I met you as a recruiter."

She furrowed her brows.

"Jiang Industries was a part of your college campus placements."

Lihua widened her eyes and finally understood. She immediately felt embarrassed by her stupid misunderstanding. "*Ahem*, of course, I knew it. I-I was just joking about the student part…" she coughed and averted her gaze.

He chuckled. "I see."

She quickly diverted the topic. "So so! How did we meet?"

His gaze softened as he recalled the first time in the corridor. "We bumped into each other…"

As he continued retelling the story, Lihua heard every single word in excitement and fascination. She tried to recall her memories, but sadly, she couldn't.

"You thought I was mute."

"..."

"'Even though God forgot to give you your voice, he compensated you with a Godly handsome face. There, there,' is what you said, patting my shoulder."

"..."

The corner of her mouth violently twitched.

Am I an idiot!? Why the hell did I think that he was mute? And I even said those stupid words! What was I doing feeling all pitiful for a CEO!?

She wished to dig a hole and bury herself and never come back to earth after such humiliation.

"T-Then what happened?" She felt her throat go dry and she suddenly lamented on asking this question. It was nothing but a show of her dumbness.

"I gave you the job."

She jolted in shock. "Huh? You gave me the job despite what I did?"

Wei tilted his head on the pillow. "Why not?"

In the first place, Wei had no intentions of doing any actual recruitment. The CEO didn't bother with such stuff, and he would have let Fu Renshu handle it. He only visited the campus for the sole purpose of meeting Lihua. Campus placements were just an excuse.

Lihua didn't know how to answer his question. Who would normally give a job to someone who thought that her Boss was mute?

She shook her head and burst into a chuckle. Their first meeting was quite unique and hilarious.

As they talked more, a certain figure outside their room was listening to their conversation. Ruomei dug her nails in her palm as she heard their laughter echoing till outside.

She had never seen Wei smile, let alone laugh. But he was showing all those expressions and emotions to Lihua!

I am supposed to be in her place!

Her heart was already filled with jealousy to see them live in one room. First, there was their marriage certificate. The man of whom she dreamed of becoming wife was already married to another woman. Now she lived in the same room as him and talked sweet nothings to each other, completely ignoring her as if she didn't even exist.

Anger and hatred set her heart ablaze with the desire for revenge.

Lixue you bitch! You not only ruined my dress but my whole life! I will never let you be Wei's wife! Only I, Shi Ruomei, can have that title. I will kick you out of this house by hook or by crook!

She sneered.

Nothing is impossible as long as I have the Matriarch's support. Just wait and see.

---

As Lihua dozed into sleep, Wei brushed his fingers along her silky hair, gazing at her beautiful face.

The warmth from his eyes vanished and a sense of darkness and murderous intent settled in. He slowly got out of the bed and tiptoed out of the room, not disturbing Lihua's sleep. He closed the door behind him and walked into his study where Fu Renshu was waiting for him.

"Boss."

The Mafia King majestically took his seat and propped his arm on the table. He stared at him and tapped his finger on the desk.

"Go on."

Fu Renshu straightened up. "Our men in the base have done everything they could to make Mo Huojin confess, but he is refusing to speak anything."

It meant that Mo Huojin was subjected to all sorts of torture methods to spit out the truth.

Wei had no change in his expression.

"And the secret agent."
