The Mafia King's First Love

Chapter 671: Mingshen's terms and conditions

"A patience game?" Zexi was taken aback.     

He sneered. "To see how long you take before moving on to a new love interest."     

"Y-you you…how could you do that?"     

"Because I won't hand over my dear assistant to just anybody. And he has the stupidest heart in this whole world. It's better he has no heart rather than invest in a useless nobody."     

Her mouth twitched. She wasn't sure if she should be furious or not.     

"So you planted Ming on purpose!"     

He beamed. "Thank you for pointing out the obvious now that you know that I know Ming."     

"..."     

Suddenly, I understand what sis Jia feels when she is with him…     

"His whole purpose was to get into your heart and move you into accepting him in those past months. That was your test. If you rejected him, well and good. But if you decided to forget my dear assistant and accept Ming then…" he narrowed his eyes.     

Zexi shuddered hard.     

She gazed at the door.     

Wh-when is Bojing coming back?     

Zexi gathered her courage and faced with resolve. "I really like Bojing. I won't accept another man in my life except him-"     

Mingshen made it a very clear point to make the scalpel shine in front of her. "Now, teenager," he cut her off, "That's the whole point. You are just eighteen. Maybe, you are not thinking about love in a long term way, but Bojing is doing that. He is extremely loyal which is why he will always choose me over anybody. And also between a future without you and marrying another woman for his own happiness, he would choose the former and rather remain single and in love with you."     

Zexi's eyes teared up. "I know…I know how sincere he is…"     

"But that is the conviction I want from you. Ten months is nothing to judge the extent of your feelings for him. But well, seeing you reject Ming, I can take it as a starting point," he smiled and emphasized, "But ONLY as a starting point. Nothing more than that. I can tell you are serious about my assistant, but it's not enough. So, if you want to date my assistant, there are some ground rules you will have to follow."     

…It feels as if I am taking his parents' permission to love Bojing, she thought.     

"Exactly. You ARE taking my permission," he smirked.     

"..."     

Is he a mind reader?     

"Anything that belongs to the Yang family and anything that happens within the Yang family has to go through me. Dad is retired and busy with Mom in their bedroom, so I am the Boss."     

She coughed blood.     

Bu-busy with Aunt in the bedroom…her ears flushed red.     

Mingshen screeched the scalpel on his desk, making an ominous sound emit through the friction that brought sweat on her forehead. He smiled an evil smile. "First. You are not allowed to break up with Bojing."         

She straightened up. "I would never-"     

"Second. If in extreme circumstances, a breakup has to occur, then only Bojing can dump you. You cannot dump him. You will never have any right to dump him."     

"..."     

"Third. If you ever physically, emotionally or mentally abused him, then you will straightaway become my research subject. The next part is censored. You can use your imagination."     

"..."     

Her gaze shone with her purest sincerity. "I will never hurt Bojing-"     

"Fourth."     

"..."     

He is not letting me talk…     

"I will always hold the most importance in his life, so never try to compete with me."     

I will never do that even in my dreams.     

"Fifth. If you ever cheated on Bojing, you and your partner will become my research subjects. The next part is censored. You can use your imagination."     

"Sixth. You are allowed sex before marriage, but you will do a full checkup before even getting to touch my assistant intimately."     

Her cheeks blushed furiously. "This-this is getting too personal…"     

"Seventh. You will only marry my assistant if you have a proper job. Just because he is in the Yang family doesn't mean that you get to mooch off him," he coldly remarked.     

She quickly said, "I am already looking for-"     

"Eight," Mingshen ignored her. "No matter who proposes, marriage won't happen without my approval."     

"Ninth. You won't have any right to divorce Bojing. Only Bojing can. If there is a divorce, you will have to pay the settlement."     

"..."     

Why is he talking about divorce when we are not even married yet?     

"Tenth. If there are kids involved, obviously, my assistant will hold custody of the child/children."     

This man…has planned out everything about Bojing and my life! She gasped in disbelief.     

Zexi cleared her throat. "Normally, people would revolt regarding the last rules. Not so women friendly."     

He sneered. "Normally, yes. But my assistant is not normal. He is an idiot who will rather hurt himself and suffer than hurting others. That's why if there is any problem in his relationship, it's because of the other person, not him. And I will never allow that other person to throw MY assistant away," he narrowed his eyes. "So, you can date if you agree to all my terms."     

"B-Bojing too?"         

He gave her a disdainful look. "Excuse me? Why does my assistant have to sign any terms? It's you only."     

That's some high level doting I see there…     

But Zexi was determined. "I agree."     

He beamed. "Good."     

He then pulled out a big, thick binder from his drawer and slid it towards her. "Read each page and sign on it."     

Her eyes popped out of her sockets. It was as thick as a university textbook. "But you only listed ten rules!"     

Mingshen sneered. "I never said that those are ALL my rules. I just jotted out the most important ones. Of course, there are many more rules concerning his work and your relationship so that you don't leak our secrets or use Bojing to your advantage and then all the way of behaving a proper girlfriend to him. Agree and sign to each one of the terms. Only then, I agree with you as his girlfriend. Otherwise, the exit is that side."
