Ji Wei rested at Shanshui Manor for two days. During this ti, Gu Moqian strictly forbade her from going out, insisting that she stay ho and recover from her injuries. On the other hand, he was also worried she might encounter another mishap.
Ever since the incident at the wine cellar, security asures at Shanshui Manor had been continuously reinforced. Even when Ji Wei ventured into the garden, two bodyguards followed her closely.
Luckily, Milk kept Ji Wei company to ease her boredom. Otherwise, she truly didn’t know how she would have gotten through these two days.
On the third day, Xia Duoduo called.
"Ji Wei, about my date with Xiao Zhen..."
Xia Duoduo began speaking, her tone sounding a bit downcast.
Ji Wei imdiately asked, "Did he cancel it?"
There was a mont of silence on the other end of the line, then Xia Duoduo burst out with triumphant laughter: "Gotcha! Not only did Xiao Zhen not cancel our date, he even moved it up—it’s happening this afternoon! Oh my gosh, Ji Wei, I’m too excited! I don’t even know which outfit to wear. Can you give so advice?"
"You look good in anything. Duoduo, why was the date moved up?" Ji Wei frowned slightly.
Her injuries hadn’t yet healed, and she didn’t even know if Gu Moqian would allow her to leave the house...
"Xiao Zhen said a fan eting was arranged on short notice for the weekend, so the date got rescheduled. He’s the hottest idol star right now, so I can understand. Ji Wei, are you coming or not?"
Ji Wei bit her bottom lip, hesitating for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, I’ll co!"
"Okay, though I don’t really want you to be a third wheel, as my best friend, I still want to introduce the person I like to you! I’ll send the address to your phone in a bit, okay?"
"Okay."
"Alright, it’s settled then. See you this afternoon!"
After ending the call, Milk, who had been rubbing against Ji Wei’s feet, suddenly jumped onto her lap, owing and seeking affection.
She stroked the soft fur of the kitten, her thoughts churning as she tried to figure out how to convince Gu Moqian to let her go out.
Gu Moqian had just finished a eting when Chen Ke walked over with a phone in hand.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Ji called you several tis. You were in etings the whole ti, so I didn’t hand it to you imdiately." Chen Ke handed over the phone.
Worried that Ji Wei might have an urgent matter, Gu Moqian imdiately returned the call.
Ji Wei’s voice quickly ca through on the other end: "Mo Qian, can I co to your office this afternoon?"
Ji Wei’s voice was soft and sugary, with a hint of playful coquettishness, completely different from her usual self.
Gu Moqian paused for a mont before replying, "Why do you want to co see ?"
"Oh, it’s nothing. I just want to see what you look like when you’re working," Ji Wei responded, her voice slightly guilty.
Gu Moqian’s eyes narrowed slightly. "Haven’t you seen enough of at ho every day?"
"It’s not enough. You’re too handso—I could look at you all day and still not get tired of it."
Today, Ji Wei’s words were as sweet as honey, capable of lting hearts. She was acting so out of character that it was obvious she wasn’t simply interested in seeing him.
Gu Moqian remained composed and continued probing, "Are you really just coming to see ?"
"Yeah," Ji Wei replied. "But on the way there, can I stop by a café for a bit? I haven’t left the house these past two days—I’m about to lose my mind."
Gu Moqian smirked inwardly. As expected, seeing him was just an excuse—going to the café was her real intention.
Seeing that Gu Moqian didn’t imdiately agree, Ji Wei hastily added, "I promise I won’t stay at the café for more than an hour. Mo Qian, pretty please?"
At this point, she was fully employing her charm to persuade him.
Gu Moqian’s eyes softened with amusent. After pausing briefly, he finally said, "Alright, I agree. But the two bodyguards following you will accompany you as well."
