Chapter 397 - The Mafia King's A Natural Flirt

As soon as they got inside, Lihua ordered two big bowls of ramen, adding lots of toppings and lots of soup and lots of noodles.

She asked, "What will you eat?"

Wei blinked his eyes.

So the two bowls were just for her?

Wei smiled and inwardly nodded.

She should eat a lot.

He said, "Whatever you are eating."

"Oh! Okay then. Four bowls then," Lihua nodded.

Wei coughed. "I am fine with just one."

Lihua curiously looked at him. "Really? Ramen is so delicious. You cannot be satisfied by eating just one bowl."

If Lihua says that I cannot be satisfied, then I will listen to her, Wei seriously thought.

As they waited, Lihua glanced at him and apologized. "I am sorry. You had to accompany me so suddenly…"

Wei immediately shook his head. "It's not a problem at all. In fact, I should say that if you ever need my help, you can always call me. R-really. You don't need to think about it…"

She looked at him in surprise and smiled. "You are really kind. Thank you."

There was a beat of awkward silence. Lihua couldn't bear it so she asked a random question, "What does your family do?"

Wei paused.

"Family?"

"En. Your Mom and Dad. Or if you have any siblings."

Wei slightly shifted in his place. They never really decided on his fake family's occupation. But he had to answer something.

"Uh…"

"Hm?"

He quickly said, "Mom is a florist and Dad... runs a small business."

It was his middle-class version of the truth.

"Oh! A florist and a businessman. That's so cool."

"Yes."

"Do you have siblings?"

"I," he cleared his throat, "I don't have any real brother or sister, but I have cousins. Three. Two brothers and one sister. All younger than me. The brother is married, the sister is engaged and the younger cousin is in college. Then there is Grandma too."

"Oh!" She beamed, "You have a big family. It must be so much fun."

Wei silently stared at her. "Not really."

Lihua blinked. "Oh. Aren't you close with them?"

"I wasn't, at first," his gaze was fixated on her, "We were all like strangers to each other. We didn't really talk much. But then things changed because of somebody, and we got slowly closer as a family."

Lihua smiled. "I see. Hehe you must really like that person who brought you all together, right?"

"Very," Wei stared at her and then leaned closer towards her, "I like that person very, very much."

Lihua suddenly felt her breath hitch for some reason. Was it Huang Liangshi's closeness or his gaze or his voice…

She didn't know what, but a similar feeling arose inside her whenever Wei was with her. She invariably felt her cheeks heat up.

"T-that's good…"

The arrival of their order saved her from her plight. "Our ramen is here!"

Lihua quickly slid one of the bowls towards her and dug her chopsticks into it. The smell of the spicy soup invaded her nostrils, and Wei could see how her big, beautiful eyes looked like stars at this moment.

She slurped the noodles with the soup, and instantly her expression turned as if she was in heaven right now.

"This ish sho yummy!!!" Lihua nodded in appreciation.

She chomped on a big piece of braised pork, and with it she melted too. "Yummm!!!"

Instead of eating his bowl, Wei was busy staring at his beautiful wife, who was happily digging into her ramen.

Ex-wife but he let that nuance slide.

He could clearly see the pregnancy effect. The craving must have been so strong for her to relish it so much. His gaze softened, and he smiled, seeing her eat so heartily.

Lihua looked up at him and blinked. "You aren't eating yours. Quick. The soup will get cold."

Wei saw a small stain of the soup at the corner of her lips. He couldn't help but smile. She looked cute.

He raised his hand towards her and his finger gently touched her lips. Lihua jolted. His thumb brushed across the corner that wiped stain off her lips.

Lihua remained frozen. She wanted to push him away, but for some reason she couldn't. His gentle touch reminded her of how Wei used to touch her. She trembled.

Wei said, "There was some soup on your lips."

"O-Oh…Thanks…"

Why is this stupid heart beating so fast?

The more she grew closer to Huang Liangshi, the more she felt as if she was straying away from Wei. Not like there was anything between them now. They were divorced and now separated. And at the station, Wei also let her know that he wanted to keep her away from his affairs.

Even so…

Why do I feel so uncomfortable?

She couldn't pinpoint the gnawing feeling in her heart. Something about Huang Liangshi made her feel closer to him, but something about him unsettled her too.

Lihua finished her two bowls and then looked at his. Wei was already full with his first one, but Lihua said to eat two bowls, so he was eating nevertheless.

Wei glanced at her and found her peeking. Not at him, but at his ramen bowl.

"You want it?"

"..."

"Of course not. I am not a pig. I already ate two bowls. I cannot be hungry," Lihua hurriedly denied.

Wei smiled. He slid his second bowl towards her and said, "I am really full."

"N-No no!" She looked guiltily.

Wei has read that either pregnant women would lose their appetite in the first trimester, or they would have cravings to eat a lot.

Lihua clearly fell into the second category.

"You should eat lots. You are so thin."

Lihua didn't stand on ceremony. She grabbed his bowl and said, "Really? I won't let you take it back."

Wei tilted his head and smiled a beautiful smile that took her breath away. "We can order a fourth bowl for you too."

She choked.

"No need. Like I said, I am not a pig. I-I usually don't eat so much…" She tried to defend herself.

Wei smiled again. "Don't think about it. I like seeing you eat."

!!!

"Also, don't compare yourself to a pig. Pigs are ugly. You are beautiful."
