Chapter 634: The Mafia King's first priority
Jia exhaled a breath and flashed a smile as she turned. "Lihua. I am going back home, silly. I know everything now. There is no burden left in my heart anymore. It feels so lighter now, Lihua. I thought that I would spend my life hating Wei, but now I don't have to take any revenge. It's time to get back to my job."
Lihua held her hand and studied her but didn't feel her smile was genuine. Instead, it was painful and forceful.
"Sis, whatever Mom Dad did, it's nothing to do with us! Even if they became corrupted in the end, it doesn't mean that we have to feel guilty or ashamed! What they did was their choice, what we do is ours. I know it was heartbreaking to know that they be-betrayed our trust.." tears blurred her vision, "but I don't want us to live a life of guilt. Sis.."

Jia flicked on her forehead and chuckled. "Of course I know, silly. You worry about me too much. Mom and Dad have disappointed us a lot, but I won't let it hamper my life. I will continue living the way I always deemed was right. My choices will be different from theirs."
Lihua nodded hard.
Jia smiled and patted her cheek. "Your sister is strong."
"Of course my Spicy is strong~ I have seen first hand evidence from the passionate battle between us."
Jia shut her eyes.
Mingshen and Bojing popped in with Bojing jumping to hug Lihua with tears in his eyes. "Sis Lihua..Y-you don't feel bad, okay? It a-all in the past.." he sniffled. "Now you have m-many people who love and protect you. So-so don't think about Mr. And Mrs. Song.."
Mingshen grimaced. "You are the one who is feeling more bad here, assistant. You have more tears than they should have in Spicy or little chilly's eyes."
"I am so-sorry.." Bojing felt ashamed.
Jia glared at him. "Don't make him unnecessarily cry!"
Lihua smacked on his shoulder too. "Why are you always so mean to my brother?"
"..."
So my assistant has two sisters now?
Bojing's little heart was filled with happiness and more tears came gushing out. "You two a-are so kind.." he sniffled. "I am so lucky."
Jia then urged to leave, to which Mingshen also decided to follow her. "I am wherever my Spicy is."
"Leave me alone!" She scowled.
Nevertheless, he didn't and hopped behind her, whistling to Jia's annoyance.
Bojing wondered if he should also follow them or stay back to play with the twins. He decided the latter was better.
"I will go and play with Qingqing and the twins.." his beautiful face brightened, striking an arrow right through Lihua's heart.
My brother is so handsome and cute, she sobbed.

In the evening, Lihua laid on her bed after feeding the twins, who were now asleep. She smiled watching their cute faces, which were making adorable expressions as they slept.
Wei climbed beside her and hugged her from the back. "Lihua."
His deep but mellow voice echoed in her ear, making her heart skip a beat. He watched his twins sleeping and extended his arm to pat their heads.
"What are you thinking?" He asked.
Lihua pursed her lips and turned to hug him back. She buried her face in his chest and smelled his scent.
"I am thinking about our childhood," her voice lowered, "I don't remember anything, but I want to. Can I ask Mingshen if he can bring my memories back?"
Wei tilted his head. "You want to know them that much?"
"Of course!" She coughed and lowered her voice, "Why wouldn't I want to remember the memories? That was the first time I met you. We played together, we laughed together and we spent time together. I want to know how was it like. Of course, it must be amazing with my Godly handsome husband, but I still want to know.."
Wei didn't like seeing her downcast expression. "We will definitely ask Mingshen."
Lihua perked up with that. "Thank you, Wei!"
Then her eyes gleamed with curiosity and delight. "So, tell me more about that time. Hehe you must be Godly handsome even at twelve."
Wei tilted his head. "You used to call me Godly handsome pwince. You couldn't pronounce words with an R ring in them. You looked cute trying to do your best to speak but failed anyway."
Her face flushed in embarrassment.
The flowers bloomed around Wei's head as he spoke with delight, "I treasure all the days I spent with you. But the most important day for me is when you promised to marry me. You said that you wanted to be my wife."
The happiness meter broke all records with an expression that melted Lihua's heart. Wei looked so cute that she had an urge to gobble him up.
"I always held that promise dear to my heart and waited for the day when you will become my wife," he kissed her forehead. "I cannot be happier now."
"Wei.." her heart tightened with emotions. "I cannot be happier either. You are the best thing that happened to me! You also protected me that night..It-it must have been so difficult.."
"It wasn't. I only cared about saving your life," Wei nodded. "You always hold the first priority in my life. Even if they were your parents and I should have hesitated, I didn't. They wanted to kill you. That was the only thing I focused on. No matter who it is, nobody can threaten your life," his gaze was chilly. "I kept saying to them to let you go, but they kept making excuses. They had to die."
She trembled with the possessiveness that rang a sweet melody in her heart. She held his face and kissed his lips hard, unable to control the overwhelm of emotions tipping her heart.
A shudder passed through his neck, and he grabbed her head, returning her kiss with double the fervor.
