Chapter 76: The Mafia King's Awakening - Jealousy (5)

Silence.

A sense of confusion marred his face as he didn't understand his question. "Jealous?"

"Yes. Do you feel threatened that I will take Song Lihua away from you?"

Wei's gaze glinted in coldness. "Nobody can take her away from me."

"But if that is how you feel about me, then it means you are jealous. It might be difficult for you to understand though. Until now, you were the object of jealousy to others."

Wei raised his brow. "I don't understand. What is jealousy?"

Is he seriously asking me that?

"An overwhelming feeling of insecurity and fear of losing someone or something precious to you and you start to hate that person who makes you feel that way."

Wei's eyes slowly widened in realization.

His answer. The answer to all his feelings that were messing up his heart.

Wei got up and walked out towards him. He bent on his knee and faced him. "If that is what is jealousy, then yes. I am jealous of you."

Mo Huojin looked at him, feeling a little shocked. Usually, a person didn't like to admit that he was jealous of someone because that meant that he accepted that he lacked somewhere against someone else. It was a bitter feeling that nobody liked to admit.

This feeling was especially strong among men. They didn't like to lose to another man who could possibly snatch what they had. Their ego would consume their hearts to the point that they start blaming the woman sometimes for attracting someone's unnecessary attention.

Wei said, "Lihua is meeting you frequently. I don't like it. She lied to me twice for you. I don't like it more. An overwhelming feeling of insecurity and fear...Indeed that's how it feels here," he slowly placed his hand on his chest, "You said you hate the person who makes you feel that way. That is true. I detest you the more I see my woman with you. I resent you. I feel strange. I never felt this way before. When I see you with her, I wish to tear you apart. I don't like it when she spends time with you. I don't like it when she laughs with you because I only like it when she laughs with me. I want to see her laughing all the time. She has the loveliest smile. But I don't want any other man to see her smile. I don't want someone else to know about her."

Mo Huojin stared at him, dumbfounded. He thought that Jiang Wei was a man of few words. As far as he observed him, he only talked to Lihua and nobody else.

Wei narrowed his eyes. "It's the same how I felt when I saw that man in the bar holding Lihua's wrist. I wanted to kill him because only I want to hold her hand forever. I don't want someone else touching my woman just like I don't want some other woman touching me because I am Lihua's man."

"I just wanted to drive that man away. I didn't know it would scare her," his gaze dimmed as he felt guilty. "But I didn't like it that you pointed it out to me. That irritated me because I was supposed to understand her the most, not you. I was angry at you. But I am angry at myself too for being incompetent."

Mo Huojin had no words to say. He had not expected in his dreams that Wei could be so honest. A man may admit to himself, but he wouldn't accept it so easily in front of the one who makes him jealous. It required a lot of guts because you were basically singing the praises of your rival while it crushed your own heart.

Wei continued in his stoic way of expressing things, "I tried to show Lihua that I am better than you. I can cook. You cannot. I am an organized man and you are not. You have the bad habit of smoking. I don't. I am rich and will give her lots of money for her entire life. You cannot. Judging on looks too, I am more handsome. Based on all the above qualities, I am better than you in every aspect. I am the only choice Lihua has for choosing her man."

"..."

Mo Huojin was speechless.

What the hell...Just who is this man?

Then there was finally a crack in his robotic expression as a hint of pain flashed through his eyes. He felt an ache in his chest as he said, "But even then...Even then Lihua went to meet you today. Even then she chose you over me. Even after showing all my good sides, she headed out to see you again. When I asked, she said that the reason she goes to meet you has got nothing to do with me."

Mo Huojin kept quiet.

Is it something related to why she seemed so down today?

Wei faced him as the threat lurking beneath his calm gaze became evident. "Why am I not supposed to know? She is my woman. But every time, it is you who she wants to meet. Today…"

He clenched his fist and banged it hard on the wall. The pressure rose so much that the four men found it difficult to breathe.

Ah, Boss is angry!

"Today, she said to me that I should leave. She wants to leave my side. It's because of you. If not for you, then nothing would have changed between us and now there is no patience left in me anymore. You are affecting her too much. I don't like it. I cannot allow that. I don't want anyone to take my place in her life. I don't want her to leave me. That is only possible if she doesn't meet you anymore."

Wei dangerously squinted his gaze. "That is why I brought you here."

Mo Huojin understood it as clear as day. Wei wasn't just jealous. He was hell jealous! His jealousy was off the charts. He didn't just express how jealous he was but also how possessive he was for Lihua.

Although, he knew that Wei was misunderstanding their relationship. They only met because of Song Jia's investigation. But he couldn't reveal it to him because he still had his suspicions about Wei's identity as the Mafia King.

"Don't contact Lihua anymore."

Mo Huojin smiled. "I am afraid I cannot do that, CEO Jiang. I understand your feelings and thank you for being so honest. But it is still something that you don't have any right to decide. Does this mean that you won't ever allow her to have any male friends?"

"As long as they don't threaten my position in her life. You do."

I cannot say that I really don't...He sighed.

"Trust me, CEO Jiang. I don't think of Lihua in that way and neither does she think about me. You really don't have to do this."

Wei tilted his head. "I am not asking you. I am warning you."

"And if I don't heed it?" He asked back.

"Then you die."

Mo Huojin chuckled. "You seem to be really used to doing this, CEO Jiang. Have you given death threats before?"

Wei didn't comment and neither did he care.

"Killing me won't get you anything. Your and Song Lihua's relationship already seems to be walking on a thin thread. I don't think you want her to hate you if she knows that you killed her friend," he sighed, "she is already stressed so much after all."

That brought Wei's full attention.

"Stress? Lihua?" He grabbed his shoulder and coldly said, "What stress? What happened to Lihua?"

Something is worrying her and I don't know...

Mo Huojin narrowed his eyes. "I meant to say that she is already so worried about her sister."

Wei didn't outwardly let it show to him but he felt his heart stop beating for a moment at Song Jia's mention. His gaze and expression still remained inscrutable.

"You know she has a sister, right? Song Lihua is worried about her. It has been a long time since she has spoken to her now. Unfortunately, she is on a mission, which is what Song Lihua told me. Ever since then, Song Jia hasn't contacted her and that is making her mentally stressed out."

Wei pulled back his hands.

"Every day, she is constantly praying for Song Jia to be safe. If at times like these, you harm her friend too, she would lose all her support. She might start to hate you, you know?"

Wei stiffened.

He recalled the day when he talked rudely about Song Jia and how that had made Lihua so furious at him. The news of Song Jia's death by his hands was something she would never tolerate.

Mo Huojin was right. Song Jia had already disappeared from her life forever. If he killed him too, Wei would put himself at more risk.

Wei stood up and said, "I cannot kill you. But I cannot let you go either," he raised his brow, "Until I get the reassurance that you would not meet her ever again, you stay here."
