Chapter 66 - The Mafia King Is Possessive Of Lihua

Kang Peng turned pale. "C-CEO Jiang! I-I...What a pleasant surprise to see you here."

Wei crushed his bone even further, making him yelp in pain. The others watched in horror but didn't dare to interfere.

Lihua froze.

"CEO Jiang," he gasped in breathlessness, "I think there is a misunderstanding...I didn't do a-anything to offend you…"

Wei tilted his head and stared at him with a blank expression on his face. "Offend is a very small word here."

Lihua panicked.

What should I do now? How should I get out of this? Should I expose the fact that I know Boss? Boss is looking so murderous! Somebody help me please, she sobbed.

"Excuse me," Mo Huojin walked up to him and smiled.

Everyone was horrified by his bold move.

Under such pressure, how could he talk to him? Does he want to die!?

Lihua peeked at him and pitifully looked at him, urging him to stop this.

Wei slowly turned his head and squinted his eyes as he finally met the man who was the cause of his distress until now. The temperature lowered even further and it felt extremely suffocating for everyone to withstand his threat.

Mo Huojin said, "Whatever misunderstanding you have with this gentleman, Sir, can you please take it outside?" He smiled. "As you can see, everyone else is getting uncomfortable here."

Everybody looked at him, shedding tears of happiness.

Our messiah has arrived! We are saved! Thank you so much!

This was the first time that somebody talked back to Wei when he was oozing out such a dangerous aura.

"And the young lady at your side seems a little afraid too," he added.

Wei froze. He lowered his gaze to look at Lihua and found that she indeed seemed scared and nervous. He blankly stared at her and his hold over Kang Peng's wrist automatically loosened. Kang Peng quickly withdrew his hand and painfully rubbed his wrist.

Wei's mind stopped functioning. He came here to find out why Lihua lied to him again? What was her reason? When he saw Kang Peng grabbing her wrist, all those questions disappeared into thin air and he stormed inside to help her.

But he didn't realize that his actions made her scared of him instead of feeling relieved.

And the fact that someone else, more precisely, Mo Huojin had to point it out to him, crushed his heart as if a huge boulder dropped on it.

Wei thought he was beginning to understand Lihua little by little. But now some other man understood her plight more than him. Some other man was realizing her distress when he was supposed to be doing that as her man.

For the first time, he couldn't retort Mo Huojin. He couldn't say anything back to him. He wanted to become the man who understood Lihua the most.

Suddenly, he felt that the earrings he gifted to Lihua were meaningless now. It amounted to nothing.

He bought the earrings just because he happened to hear her talking about her favorite color. What was so difficult about that?

But Mo Huojin understood her fear even without Lihua saying a word to him.

That comparison left him shattered. It evoked such feelings in his heart that made him feel, for the first time, that he was incompetent. He lacked somewhere compared to another man.

He didn't know anything about Lihua. If he couldn't even understand her distress, if someone else had to spell it out for him anything concerning Lihua, then what right did he have to call himself as her man?

Lihua blinked her eyes as she distinctly felt a change in his demeanor.

Why is the Boss looking so…

Without saying anything else, Wei slowly turned as if in a trance and silently walked out of the bar.

The heavy atmosphere and tension in the bar instantly diffused as Wei left. Kang Peng breathed in relief. He had almost pissed his pants off.

Lihua couldn't take her mind off of his expression with which he left. There was a ring of sadness and pain in it that clenched her heart.

I think Boss is misunderstanding something here. Ever since Mo Huojin talked to him, he looked so different.

Mo Huojin said, "You okay?"

She nodded in a daze. "I...I need to leave."

Lihua dashed out of the bar, her heart thudding in uneasiness. Mo Huojin didn't stop her. As he watched her run away, once again, he felt a strange inkling in his mind.

He had seen Wei coming to help Lihua outside college that day. Then Lihua said that he also came to save her from those kidnappers the day before. And now, he arrived yet again to help Lihua.

Why would a CEO go to such lengths to save an average intern like her? Why is he doing so much for her?

---

Outside the bar, Wei opened the door to his car in a blank stupor. The four men from Shadow Eagle wanted to approach him, but then they just saw Lihua running towards him. They quickly stepped back and hid.

Ludo Lady isn't supposed to know that he is our Boss, they nodded.

"Boss!"

Wei stiffened. He said nothing as she approached him. He couldn't even meet her gaze. He simply silently looked away and clenched his fist as he recalled her face marred with anxiousness.

This led Lihua to believe that Wei was definitely furious at her for lying to him. He never ignored her like that but he was doing it right now.

I am here but what should I say? How should I explain myself?

She fiddled with her fingers and nervously looked here and there, trying to figure out what to say next.

Think Lihua, think! He has caught you now. He is definitely disappointed in me.

She opened and closed her mouth multiple times. "B-Boss that I-"

"I will drop you home," Wei quietly said.

She froze. She gulped as she saw his grave expression.

Huh?

"Sit. It's getting late."
