Chapter 335 - Unmask The Mafia King (2)

Shen Yang said, "This is the address, Madam."

The car stopped in an alley and Lihua slowly peeked out. "I guess so…"

At first, Lihua thought that she would go alone but then decided that it was better to take Shen Yang with her mostly out of concern for the child's safety if there was one. He was the most reliable bodyguard in the family.

"Madam, are you sure you don't want anyone else in the family to know about that strange call?" He seriously asked.

She smiled. "You know about it, and that is enough for me. Plus, it is a good day today with Wei and my anniversary. Everybody is busy with the preparations. I don't want to spoil everybody's mood." .

He sighed. "I am sure nobody would think that way."

They stepped out and headed towards the exact location. At a distance, Lihua could see the faint silhouette of a small figure. She saw him nervously fidgeting and restlessly moving his weight from one foot to another. There was a small bag hung on his back. He seemed to be impatiently waiting for somebody.

Her heart skipped a beat.

There is a child…

The small head lifted and the boy's gaze met hers. He stiffened and stared at her in shock. Tears pooled in his eyes. At first, he trotted and then dashed towards her at full speed. He hugged her legs and burst into sobs.

"Lihua!"

Lihua widened her eyes and lowered her gaze. The soft, little bun was hugging and staring at her with his misty eyes. Big drops of tears slid down his cheeks and the tip of his nose slightly turned red.

Lihua froze. She quietly gazed at the little boy in a trance and something tugged her heartstrings. She felt the same sense of familiarity she did when she met that woman in the mall.

She didn't recognize them, but...she couldn't push them away as strangers either. So, she tried to remember but a dull pain coursed through her head, stopping her from crossing that territory.

"Lihua... Lihua...you dumb Lihua!" He sniffled and cried hard. "Where were you all this time? You were gone for six months! You-you suddenly disappeared...You didn't come back. Grandma and I were waiting for you. We were so worried too! Grandma even went to the police station, but nobody helped us! Nobody knew about you," his small body trembled, "They were asking dumb questions like who is Lihua? There is no Lihua. They couldn't find any Lihua. They are so stupid! How can they say there is no Lihua! They are idiots!"

Lihua was stunned and couldn't speak for a while. But his tears and the way he was desperately clinging on to her broke her heart.

She glanced at Shen Yang in confusion. The situation was just as bizarre to him.

Lihua pursed her lips and bent on her knees. She cupped his face and wiped his tears. "Aiyaaa don't cry. Look. Your cute chubby cheeks don't look good with tears."

The little boy blinked his eyes. "Dumb Lihua, why are you treating me like a kid?"

Her mouth twitched.

Aren't you a kid? And what is this with calling me dumb?

The boy harrumphed. "Don't get me wrong. I am not crying because I missed you, okay? It's Grandma who kept on talking about you all the time…"

Her mouth twitched again.

Then what about the heartfelt speech you gave just now? Tsundere much?

"And just where were you for six months!? Did you find another place to live? Even if you did, couldn't you tell Grandma and me just once? How could suddenly disappear!?" The little boy was extremely furious as he accused her.

Lihua hesitatingly said, "Umm...I am sorry dear but I really don't know what you are talking about."

"Huh?"

"I…don't know you. Have we met before?"

He stared at her, speechless.

"Why are you calling me Lihua? That is not my name."

The boy touched her forehead with his palm. "Have you hit your head somewhere?"

Shen Yang coughed.

This boy is acting too familiarly. His reactions and expressions...it doesn't seem that he is lying.

He touched his chin in deep thought.

"Are you sick?"

"I-I am not! I really don't understand what you are talking about."

"Dumb Lihua! How dare you forget about your cute Bobo who will be your future husband!"

"..."

Future husband…?

But the name Bobo faintly rang a bell in her mind. Once again, she couldn't put her finger and that was frustrating.

Bobo...Bobo…

She tried hard to remember but she felt dizzy and painful.

Bobo realized she wasn't looking too well. "Lihua…" he was concerned, "You are not looking good. You are not happy to see me…?" His gaze dimmed.

"No! It's not about that. But...my name is Jiang Lixue. Not Lihua."

"Huh? You forgot your name too? When did you change it to Lixue? You are Song Lihua."

Lihua froze.

Song Lihua…

She didn't know why, but she felt an uneasy feeling erupt in her chest. She remembered the unknown person, then the woman who called her by the same name and now this boy…

"Li-Lihua is my cat's name."

Bobo frowned. "When did you get a cat? I don't know about any cat. But you are Song Lihua. When did you become Jiang Lixue?"

Lihua didn't know how to respond.

Shen Yang came to her rescue and asked, "Hello."

Bobo narrowed his eyes. "Who are you?"

"I am Shen Yang, her bodyguard."

He widened his eyes. "You have a bodyguard too? Just how much happened in six months?"

Shen Yang gently smiled. "Can I call you Bobo?"

"...Okay," he cautiously said. He allowed so as he didn't feel any ill-intentions from him.

"Thank you. So, Bobo. Do you have any picture with Madam?"

"Of course! We have clicked so many pictures, hmph."

Bobo took out a mobile phone and unlocked it. "See?"

Lihua stared at the pictures.

It was her posing with Bobo, smiling, laughing and kissing his cheeks.

Why...How am I there?
