"Fine, then I won’t build one. Later I’ll call Aunt Zhu over and build a giant snowman right in front of your car!" Hmph, dare to call her childish? She’ll embrace it to the fullest.
Taking a car like this to the company would definitely attract attention all the way.
Gu Moqian rubbed his forehead and said in a tone both indulgent and slightly helpless, "Alright, I’ll help you build the snowman." At the sa ti, he reached out to hold her small hand, adding, "But later, you’re only allowed to watch, no touching."
He was worried her hands might get cold.
Ji Wei smiled like a blooming flower and nodded eagerly, "Okay."
After breakfast, the snow outside had lessened a bit.
Happy and Milk were frolicking in the snow, and watching them, Ji Wei couldn’t help but feel restless. There was still ti; leaving in another half hour wouldn’t make her late. Unable to contain her excitent, she pulled Gu Moqian to head outside.
He stopped her, "Wait a mont."
Ji Wei didn’t know what Gu Moqian was up to. She watched as he turned and went upstairs, only to co back down quickly with a few more items in his hands: a scarf, gloves, and a fluffy hat.
All in the sa color sche as her long coat—a sweet pastel pink.
"Are you gearing up for battle?" Ji Wei asked with a playful smile.
"I’m afraid you’ll get cold," the man said gently, his voice warm and soothing, his gaze soft. He raised his hand to help her put on the scarf, gloves, and hat.
Ji Wei stood there blankly, letting the man wrap her up tightly. Warmth surged through her heart, and unknowingly, a smile spread across her lips.
Once she was fully bundled up, Gu Moqian looked her over from top to bottom, ensuring she wouldn’t feel cold, before holding her hand and leading her outside, "The snow is slippery; hold my hand tightly."
The garden was blanketed in white, the snow crunching softly under their boots.
Ji Wei couldn’t help but squat down, grabbing a handful of snow. A childlike grin lit up her face. "Moqian, have you ever played a snowball fight?"
Gu Moqian shook his head.
"You don’t like building snown, and you haven’t thrown snowballs. What do you do when it snows?" Ji Wei tilted her face up to ask.
"Not much different from usual," Gu Moqian replied.
Ji Wei gave him a look of mock disdain. "Actually, there are lots of romantic things you can do when it snows."
"Like what?"
Gu Moqian raised a refined brow and glanced at her inquisitively.
Ji Wei began shaping the snow in her hands into a ball as she answered, "Like sharing a romantic kiss in the snow, running around throwing snowballs..."
Before she could finish, a pair of warm hands cupped her face. The next thing she knew, the man’s thin lips pressed against hers in a gentle kiss.
Ji Wei froze, her breath caught, and she felt the weight in her hand lighten as Gu Moqian took away her snowball.
The man gazed at her with warmth in his eyes. "Stop playing in the snow; if your hands get cold, I’ll feel bad."
Ji Wei: "..."
At that mont, Gu Moqian’s phone rang.
After answering the call, he apologized to Ji Wei. "There’s a problem with the partner in A City; I need to head over today to resolve it. I’ll try my best to co back by tonight."
"Alright, don’t worry about . Go ahead," Ji Wei said.
Gu Moqian cupped her cheeks, which were a bit red from the cold, "I owe you the snowman. I’ll make up for it next ti. Let drop you off at Ji Family first, then I’ll head to the airport."
...
In front of Ji Building.
Ji Wei hadn’t walked far after getting out of the car when she saw Mary.
"Mrs. Gu, I’m so sorry! Because I left early yesterday, you were nearly targeted by soone!"
Mary had heard about Tang Yi’s acid attack from Chen Ke earlier that morning. Feeling she hadn’t fulfilled her duty to protect Ji Wei, she was overco with guilt.
"I was the one who asked you to go ahead, so there’s no need to feel bad," Ji Wei said with a gentle smile. "Co on, let’s head inside."
Mary still felt guilty and quietly followed Ji Wei all the way into the elevator.
By now, employees were trickling into the cubicles one by one.
They looked at Ji Wei with strange expressions, murmuring among themselves.
When Ji Wei stared back at them, they quickly fell silent and pretended to work.
