The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 667: Make a choice

Bojing couldn't believe the confession he just heard from Zexi. He opened and shut his lips several times, but nothing came out of his mouth.         

    

"Y-you…you…" he looked left and right, up and down but he still didn't know what to say. The only sound he could hear was of his own loudly pounding heartbeat.     

Zexi was getting increasingly anxious. "I know it's sudden. I am sorry…I just wanted to let you know. I really like you. I like spending time with you. I never enjoyed my life so much before until I met you. You are cute, kind and gentle. S-sometimes, I only made excuses to meet you."     

He widened his eyes.     

She looked away. "Even for studies…I don't really have problems with studying. I can do well in my exams. I just wanted to spend time with you. If you are mad about it, then I am really sorry," she pursed her lips.     

"N-No no! I am not mad at you," Bojing hastily said. He accidentally met her eyes and upon realization, he quickly averted his gaze, blushing.     

Zexi sat back on her knees, frozen.     

Damn! Did I just confess to him!?     

The momentary kiss rushed the emotions from her heart onto her tongue, and she confessed before she knew it. Now, she had no idea what to do.     

Which was Bojing's condition too. This was the first time he was getting a romantic confession. He was beginning to understand friendship over the year he spent with her but certainly, he was aware that something else and deeper affections were growing in his heart for Zexi. That's why for the first time since Mingshen took him in, Bojing wished to leave the lab often and meet Zexi.     

He never had this urge before. That's how he knew something was changing him from within when something other than work was getting important for him.     

Bojing covered his blushing face, unsure of how to respond. Limei slipped out of his arms and giggled at him.     

"Bojing. Red!"     

He turned even redder by being pointed at like that. He peeked at her through the gap between his fingers.     

I…I like Zexi too…he thought to himself.     

She was kind, energetic, cheerful, never made fun of his crying or his feminine beauty and never looked down upon the things he liked. She never insulted his social anxiety nor was afraid of the enormous physical strength he possessed even after watching him killing men brutally in cold blood. She had seen the switch flip in Bojing, which was his most dangerous side to come across. But she never once distanced herself from him unlike the kids at the orphanage who always looked at him with disdain and stayed away from him.     

Zexi always remained the same Zexi.     

And that made a wish born in his heart. He wanted her to be happy. He wanted to be the one to keep her happy.     

Just like Yang Cheng kept Yang Bingqing happy.     

Just like Wei made Lihua happy.     

It was that kind of happiness he wished to shower Zexi with.     

Bojing stared at her, who was clearly jittery to hear his response.     

"Zexi I…"     

"Y-yes!" She felt this strange mixture of emotions of wanting to hear Bojing's response but also wanting to escape at the same time.     

I didn't know that confessing was so nerve-wracking! She sobbed.     

Bojing was about to reply when he felt a hand suddenly grab his wrist. He looked up and froze.         

    

Limei glanced up and laughed. "Ishen!"     

"Bo-Boss…"     

Mingshen narrowed his eyes at Limei first. "I guess you have something to do with how far things went here when they were supposed to be just STUDYING."     

Limei didn't understand the threat in his voice, so she didn't care. "Bojing. Red!"     

She chirped and just added oil to the fire.     

He sneered. "Yeah, I can see that red face which I utterly detest right now. And you, my dear assistant."     

Bojing cowered.     

"Teaching time is over."     

He then threw a calm but looming stare at Zexi, making her stiffen. "And you who don't really need any classes - study time is over. Permanently."     

She gasped. "W-what?"     

He dragged Bojing up and turned to leave.     

Zexi quickly stood on her feet. "Wait! Where are you going?"     

"My assistant works in my lab, so he has a job to do. He has no time to get mixed up with a girl who wants to meet him using false pretenses and waste his time."     

Her face flushed with embarrassment. "I…I didn't mean it t-that way…"     

Bojing hurriedly tried to explain. "Yes Boss! Zexi didn't-"     

He got one stare from Mingshen that was enough to shut him from speaking.     

Jia and Lihua blocked his way and glared at him.     

Lihua asked, "Why are you doing this, you evil doctor?"     

Jia squinted her eyes. "Yang Mingshen, aren't you going a bit too far? I already told you. Bojing is an adult, and he can make his own choices."     

He bore his gaze in Jia and smiled. "Indeed. My Spicy is always right. Bojing is all grown up now. Clearly, he can think for himself."     

Lihua harrumphed and nodded.     

"So…" he let go of Bojing's wrist and said without looking at him. "You have two choices, my dear assistant. Either you accept this girl's confession or you come with me. If you chose the latter, you won't meet her anymore. If you chose the former, you will still be a part of the Yang family but you won't be my assistant or work in the lab anymore."     

Bojing turned as white as a sheet with tears flowing from his eyes. "Boss…"     

"Mingshen!" Lihua gritted her teeth. "You are really being so nasty! What is the problem with Bojing dating?"     

Mingshen ignored her. "I will wait outside for only five minutes. If you don't come out within that time, then don't show your face in the lab anymore."         

    

He then left taking big strides.     

"Boss…" he trembled and cried.     

Make a choice between Boss and Zexi?
