Gu Moqian’s smile deepened at the corners of his lips, his slender fingers gently tracing the smooth, fair skin of her face, slowly outlining her enchanting features.
"Miss ?"
He asked softly, his gaze filled with warmth. "I’m right here beside you, and you still miss . If I weren’t here..."
Ji Wei suddenly interjected, "You won’t not be here. I’ll stick to you like a little tail."
Gu Moqian was montarily stunned, then reached out to lightly tap her delicate nose. "Clingy little bug."
His tone was filled with such indulgence, indulgent enough to lt her completely.
After a pause, Gu Moqian spoke again, "If you can’t sleep, then wait for . I’ll finish washing quickly and co out."
"Okay."
Ji Wei responded in a husky voice.
Gu Moqian headed to the bathroom.
Ji Wei lay flat on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Eventually, she sat up, grabbed her phone from the bedside table, and opened WeChat.
Since her rebirth, this was the first ti she logged into her WeChat account.
Scrolling through the posts of her old friends, Ji Wei felt a profound sense of disconnection, as if the person who had lived those mories wasn’t her.
Those wealthy socialites she used to be close with were all showing off luxury cars, gourt als, and designer handbags...
Ji Wei flipped through the posts, her interest dwindling quickly. Just as she was about to close the app, a photograph suddenly caught her attention.
The bulk of the photograph was dominated by an enormous bouquet of roses, but in the upper right corner, Xia Duoduo’s bright, doll-like face peeked out.
The caption read: "Receiving 999 roses—guess soone is actually pursuing !"
Ji Wei’s expression imdiately hardened, and a mory flashed through her mind.
In her previous life, ever since she had married Ji Chuyang, she was forced to endure his cold indifference while simultaneously dealing with the cunning mbers of the Ji Group, leaving her no ti to even et her best friend Xia Duoduo.
One day, when she wanted to call Duoduo, she found Duoduo’s phone number had already been deactivated. Even more disturbingly, Duoduo herself had seemingly vanished completely without a trace.
Ji Wei had contacted Duoduo’s family at the ti. They inford her that a police report had already been filed, but the authorities had co up empty-handed in their search.
Ji Wei couldn’t accept that an energetic, lively person could disappear so utterly.
She had asked herself countless tis whether Duoduo had encountered soone or been trapped sowhere, waiting for her rescue.
Thinking back now, Duoduo’s disappearance had coincided with the ti Ji Wei had been married to Ji Chuyang for six months—a point less than a few months away now.
She had to stay vigilant from this mont onward—she absolutely could not allow Xia Duoduo to et the sa fate again!
Her mind swirling with thoughts, Ji Wei finally forced herself to calm down and dialed Xia Duoduo’s phone number.
The call was quickly answered.
Ji Wei spoke urgently, "Duoduo, it’s ."
Xia Duoduo, initially thinking it was a wrong number, was stunned when she realized it was Ji Wei!
"Weiwei, what’s with you? I’ve called your number at least ten tis and couldn’t get through even once! Turns out you changed your phone number again!"
After seeing this morning’s headline in the newspaper, she’d been worried sick about Ji Wei and had tried multiple tis to call her, only to be t with the ssage that her phone was turned off.
"I lost my phone." Ji Wei offered a brief explanation before asking seriously, "What’s up with the roses you posted on your Monts? Is there really a guy chasing you?"
"I was just about to tell you!"
Xia Duoduo’s tone rose slightly with excitent. "There’s a pretty handso guy who’s launched a fierce pursuit of —he sent 999 roses straight to the film set! The whole production team was absolutely stunned, can you imagine? Weiwei, I’ve never in my life received so many roses before—I was completely overwheld!"
