The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 592 The Mafia King's silence

　　Inside the ward, Lihua sat beside Wei, who was lying on the bed, unconscious. His chest was wrapped with bandages and his mouth was covered with an oxygen mask. She heard the sounds of his faint breathing among the tiny ticking sounds of the machines that were connected to him through the many tubes.

　　She stared at him in silence for a long time  before her vision finally turned blurry. Tears plopped from her eyes onto his fingers. 

　　She hoped for him to open his eyes, thinking that it might be all just a prank.

　　"Wei, wake up, no? You have to teach Mingshen a lesson. Look, he is bullying me. He is pranking me. He is saying that that won't wake up. How dare he bully a pregnant woman? You know, I have been waiting to meet you after you deal with that bastard Jiang Zhen! I-It was hard to wait. So now you cannot play this game with me!"

　　She entwined her fingers with his and clutched his palm. "You are my Mafia King Jiang Wei! You cannot be defeated by a bullet! In fact, bullets are scared of you! So you have to wake up as soon as possible," her eyes and cheeks ached as her tears refused to stop.

　　Lihua rubbed the tip of her nose and bent to gently kiss on his forehead. Her heart fluttered as always whenever she gazed at his Godly handsome face. His eyes were shut, his lips were silent but she knew that he was with her from the depths of his heart.

　　"Also, I am giving you a time limit. You cannot stay like this forever. We have been separated long enough because of that bastard. And now you cannot let a bullet separate us once again!" She wiped her cheeks and narrowed her eyes.

　　"Wake up within a month! That's my order. I will soon touch my eight month of pregnancy. You must be out of this coma before my ninth month comes. Why? Because I want you to be a part of this. For some reasons or the other, we couldn't celebrate all these months together. It pains me but nobody had a choice. But the past is past now. I want to look at the future. So, you will wake up and we celebrate the rest of my pregnancy until our super cute twins are born!"

　　She flared her nostrils. "Also, I am telling you that one of them will be definitely a boy! I want a cute mini Mafia King like you! No arguments over this!"

　　She talked about a lot of things, but she only received silence in the end. A lump of fear and uncertainty formed in the back of her throat, but she kept reminding herself that everything would turn out to be fine.

　　Lihua then gently lifted his hand and placed it on her belly. As soon as she did, her brows twisted with slight pain as she felt two bumps in her belly. She wondered what it was but then it suddenly struck her.

　　She gasped in delight, and her eyes sparkled like gold. "Wei! Did you feel that! Our babies kicked! They kicked for the first time!"

　　She eagerly observed his face, expecting to see any reaction. But it didn't. Her lips pursed in disappointment. 

　　But when the twins kicked again, all her disappointment dissipated into the air. Her face gleamed like that of a little child's as if he got his favorite candy.

　　"Wei! They kicked. Look, you touched them and they kicked. You know what this means, right? The twins want their father to come back to us as soon as possible! So now the three of us ordering you! You cannot go against us or we will super mad!" The cheering in her voice didn't match with how her body was shaking.

　　It was difficult to not let her heart slip into the darkness and despair watching Wei in this condition.

　　Her voice threatened to break and choke, but she kept herself firm. For the sake of her twins, she didn't let herself falter.

　　"Wei…We are waiting for you, okay?" She whispered. "Don't make us wait for long. Please…"

　　Her shoulders slumped, and she broke down into soft sobs, the eerie silence in the room filled with the whispers of her tears.

　　—

　　The whole family was devastated upon learning Wei's condition. There were a lot of things going on simultaneously. Wei was in a coma and they just met Jia in Mingshen's lab, who was supposed to be dead. That shock them hard enough and millions of questions ran in their minds.

　　With the addition of the Cheng family, more answers were needed but with the gravity of the situation, nobody was in a state to get those answers.

　　Lihua aimlessly was taking a walk with Qingqing in her arms when her gaze fell on a particular ward. She saw the man lying on that bed and instantly froze.

　　Her lips parted in disbelief, and her body shook with rage.

　　Qingqing narrowed her green eyes and rubbed her face on her arm.

　　"Yang. Mingshen!"

　　She stomped her way towards his office where he was reading a few files. His gaze darkened by her entrance.

　　"What are you doing here? Your dumbness is not allowed in my office. What if I catch your virus?" He sneered.

　　Lihua gritted her teeth and banged her palms on his desk. "How could could do this!?"

　　He cocked his brow in amusement. "I do a lot of things. There are so many that I cannot count anymore. Which one are you referring to, little chilly?"

　　"Jiang Zhen! Why the hell is he admitted here? Why are you treating him like some helpless patient!? Why are you saving him? He is the one who should be dead!"

　　Qingqing jumped out of her arms and royally perched on his couch with the expression that said, 'You handle it now.'

　　Mingshen leaned back on his chair, chuckling evilly. "You think I am saving him?"

　　Her brows crinkled. "So what? Are you feeding him poison through the tubes then?"

　　"It's medicine alright. Do you think that a man like Yang Mingshen will save a bastard like Jiang Zhen out of 'goodwill?'" He smirked. "He has a pitiful fate. I am keeping him alive for that day when he will die. He has a lot of torture to suffer. By Wei and…" his gaze turned chilling, "by me too."
