Chapter 370 - The Mafia King Asks For Forgiveness To Meng Ya

Lihua was doubtful.

"But I left college in between due to circumstances. How can I join again?"

"Why not? I also couldn't graduate because that hooligan kidnapped me!" Meng Ya flared.

Lihua's expression stiffened, and she felt remorseful. "It's because you got involved with me…"

She smacked on her forehead. "I am not blaming you, silly! It's because of Jiang Wei and Renshu. They are the culprits. You shouldn't feel guilty. So as I was saying, we should complete our graduation."

"But our batch must have already passed out."

She shrugged. "Duh. Who said we cannot join our junior batch? We can explain our circumstances to the principal. Not in detail necessarily. Just say that we had some situations, and we had to drop out halfway. Now, we would like to complete it. This is the perfect time. The final semester exams will be next month. Till then we can cram as much as possible and appear for it."

Lihua thought about it.

"It seems a good choice…"

"It is the only choice we have now. So what do you say? We will be together anyway!" Her gaze sparkled.

She nodded.

"What are you two talking about?"

Bobo directly landed into Lihua's lap. He narrowed his eyes at Meng Ya. "Sis Yaya is here finally."

Meng Ya's eyes teared up. "Bobo...My cute Bobo!" She raised her arms to hug the cute bun, but he moved away.

"Shameless sis Yaya! How dare you eye me? Don't you know that I am Lihua's future husband?" He seriously said. "You shouldn't be touchy with me!"

Meng Ya choked.

This brat is still the same!

"What future husband? You are still on about that?"

He glared at her. "What do you mean by 'still?' I am serious!"

She snorted. "Yeah sure. First grow up to be an adult, and then we will talk about your relationship."

Bobo gritted his teeth. He hated it whenever she brought the age topic.

"You are just jealous that Lihua will pay more attention to me now!"

"Shut up, brat! Is this how you to talk to your pretty sister who just returned after a gruesome kidnapping experience?" She dramatically sniffled. "Shouldn't you give me a tight hug and let me squish your chubby body?"

Bobo sneered. "No way. I am faithful to Lihua. I won't let you harass me. I know I am super cute, but you should find someone else!"

"..."

Her expression darkened.

"You…Now I will definitely hug you!"

And so they began a game of tag. Bobo complained. "Lihua, tell your idiot friend to stay away from me!"

"No way hahahaha! I am coming for you!"

Lihua smiled at their dramatics. Meng Ya and Bobo peeked at her, but her smile felt empty to them. They thought their bickering will lift her mood, but it didn't do much.

Meng Ya ruffled his head. "Don't feel so down. We need to give her some time. You know how precious sis Jia was to her, right?"

Bobo lowered his head. "...En."

"En. Time will heal her pain one day. We have to wait for it. Until then, we will keep doing our best to cheer her up. And we have to work harder because she has a baby inside her. The baby will be sad too if his Mama is sad."

"En."

"Hehe. Good boy."

Meng Ya said, "Hey why don't I stay for the night? We met after so long! We will have a pajama party and have a blast!"

Lihua said, "Sure."

"Alright! I will quickly bring some things from my home and come back in a flash! Today will be a super fun day! I will be in the charge of cooking too. Wait for me!"

She quickly left the apartment complex, but as soon as she stepped out, she felt a shadow loom over her.

She lifted her gaze and froze. "You…What are you doing here, Jiang Wei!?" She fumed.

Wei stared at her and slowly lowered his gaze.

"Tell me, why are you here? After everything that has happened, you still have the nerve to hover around Lihua?"

The thought of Jia's death brought tears to her eyes. "You...you really killed sis Jia…"

He said nothing.

"I thought you couldn't go any lower than what you did to Lihua. But you killed an innocent person! Lihua's precious family! She is like this because of you!"

Wei stiffened.

"Like this…Like how? H-How is she?"

"How do you expect her to be!?" Meng Ya gnashed her jaw. "I never saw her so lost and aimless before. I never saw her so heartbroken and distraught before. You know what, Mr. Jiang? The only thing that is keeping her sane right now is her child."

The color drained away from his face.

"Otherwise... otherwise I don't know what she might have done," she gasped as tears slipped on her cheeks. "Now I don't know how long it will take to get my old Lihua back! When will she smile again like before? When will she be cheery like she always was? Your betrayal has left a scar too deep to mend, Jiang Wei! And now what do you want to prove by stalking her like this? You are already divorced now! Don't be a bother to her anymore. She needs to cut off her feelings for you as soon as possible. It won't happen until you leave her alone!"

Wei trembled.

"I will never leave her alone."

Meng Ya looked at him, stupefied.

"Even if she hates me, I will never let her out of my sight."

"You…"

"I will always protect her and our-..." He clenched his fist, "her child forever. Even if I have to do it from the shadows, I will. But no matter what, she will always find me by her side."

Meng Ya remained silent.

"I wasn't stalking her," he lowered his gaze. "I was worried about her. She almost fainted in the cafe. I wanted to drop her home, but she refused."

Of course she will…

"I-Is she okay? Did she puke again? Is she still feeling weak?" Wei anxiously asked.

"She is okay. Now leave and please don't show yourself before her, or it will only become more difficult for her," Meng Ya coldly said.

Wei said nothing.

She turned to leave, but then she heard him say from behind her.

"I am sorry, Meng Ya."

She stopped and looked behind, blinking her eyes in confusion. "What?"

Her eyes widened in shock as he suddenly bowed. "I am sorry for ordering your imprisonment. Will you.... please forgive me?"
