<h4>Chapter 161 - The Mafia King Makes Coffee For His Wife</h4>


    Ruomei''s proposal soared high as soon as it hit the ads. She highlighted thepleted n of the hotel and the various luxuries offered to the customers. The magnificent hotel stood tall surrounded by lush green earth that was simply mesmerizing. Her ad was everywhere on the television, media and pamphlets. People began to check the websites for its information and many of them already pre-booked their rooms ahead for the vacation ns.


    As Ruomei checked the statistics at her home, she smiled, feeling satisfied. As she went to take a look at what Lihua was doing, she saw that Jiang Fai and she were in aplete mess surrounded by drawing papers.


    "Fai Fai, then what about showing her here at the end of the panel like a cliffhanger? That will be so hooking!"


    He fumed. "We don''t have space! The woman shoulde here, not at the end."


    "But there will be no mystery like that…" she whined.


    "It should also go with the stairs behind, idiot. The woman should fit in the background."


    Lihua sighed. "Alright Fai Fai, we will do as you say. You are the artist after all."


    He felt proud. "Of course."


    "Tsk. Tsk," Ruomei clicked her tongue and came in. "Lixue, are you still at the stage of drawing youric? I hope you are keeping a track of the news and the website visits. So many of the people have already pre-booked their rooms. And you haven''t even started yet."


    She sighed. She nced at Jiang Fai and said in a concerned voice, "Fai, please listen to me and stop this. Lixue''s childish idea is not going to get you anywhere. When this fails, Old Madam will be even more disappointed in you."


    Jiang Fai narrowed his eyes. "I don''t know about her idea, but do you mean to say that my hobby is childish?"


    Ruomei widened her eyes. She felt as if she was in a pinch. She honestly thought just like Li Tingzhe. Comics, anime, manga were just a waste of time. To base your whole future on that was foolishness.


    She smiled. "Fai, you are misunderstanding me."


    "Then don''t say such stuff that makes us misunderstand you," Lihua rolled her eyes.


    Ruomei red at her.


    "And thank you for the tip and the info. But Fai Fai and I are just fine. You don''t have to worry about us."


    "How can I not?" She pursed her lips. "You aren''t even graduated and here you are dragging Fai in business matters with your ignorant proposal. I only care about Fai''s wellbeing."


    She snickered. "Well, for him, his well-being is in not going back to live with his cheater father who he clearly hates so much and which he should, but did you do anything about it?"


    Ruomei froze and her face flushed.


    "Do you want Fai Fai to lose his way, too, and be a cheater like his father? Teenagers are really impressionable at this age. What else would he learn from that useless man? Is this your concern for him?"


    "You…" her teeth ground in fury. Lihua never held back any punches.


    Wei stepped in at that moment, carrying a tray in his hands. "Lixue," he whispered in his doting and caring voice.


    He didn''t even throw a nce at Ruomei and kept the tray. He served her a cup of coffee and warmly smiled. "You must be tired. I have made coffee for you."


    Ruomei watched the couple, jealousy washing over her again.


    The warmth in his eyes, the smile on his lips and the concern for Lihua; everything drove her crazy.


    He brought coffee for her…


    She never thought she would see this side one day of the Mafia King personally serving someone.


    Lihua beamed. "Oh thank you, Wei!"


    "En," he kissed her forehead.


    Jiang Fai felt wronged. "I-I am also tired. Can I have some coffee too?"


    Wei threw a nk nce at him, and it was clear that he didn''t mean to share his coffee with anybody else but Lihua.


    "You don''t need to ask, Fai Fai. Of course, you can!" Lihua grinned.


    He gulped and didn''t dare meet Wei''s gaze whose lips had pursed into a straight line in disappointment.


    Lihua smiled at Ruomei. "Miss Shi. You seem to be really lonely standing there. Why don''t you join us?"


    If looks could kill, then she had already killed her a thousand times with her gaze itself.


    Is she implying that I am so pitiful?


    She maintained her smile. "No, thank you. I have to get back to work. After all, my proposal is bringing in so much traction that it has be hard to keep up."


    Her tone implied how tired she was handling all the work, but at the same time, it expressed how much she was way ahead of Lihua.


    She shyly looked at Wei. "Wei, I promise that I will win this proposal and bring nothing but profits for the Jiang Industries."


    Once I win this, Wei will definitely start noticing me. How would he bear to stay with a loser? She sneered.


    She turned around and left.


    Lihua''s mouth twitched. "She talks too much."


    Wei nodded in agreement.


    Jiang Fai dryly said in disdain, "You are too chirpy in your way…"


    She pouted. "Wei, do you not like me like that?"


    Wei grabbed her head and ced a deep kiss on her lips. Tilting his head, he nibbled and chomped on her lips. The poor teenager jumped in his seat who had no ce to hide. "Y-you two...get a room!" His face was beet red.


    Even Lihua felt disoriented for a moment. Wei smiled. "I like you the way you are."


    She furiously blushed. "Wei you…"


    Jiang Fai cleared his throat. "B-back to work!"


    Lihua coughed. "Right. Fai Fai, give me the draft once it''s ready. It''s time to put a counter strike now," she slyly smiled.


    ---


    Late at night, Lihua was working in front of herptop where she was busy creating an anonymous ount on Weibo. She thought for a moment about the username and kept it as - Storyteller.


    She grinned and opened the pictures of theic draft that Jiang Fai sent her an hour back. She uploaded them on Weibo with the caption.


    ''Who wants to know what happens next?''
