Ji Wei watched Nan Huiru’s figure disappear at the doorway, tightly clutching the chopsticks in her hand.
In that mont, the resolve in her heart suddenly collapsed.
She realized that she was of no help here and had caused Nan Huiru quite a bit of trouble. Was her persistence truly aningful?
Ji Wei stayed in the hospital for two days. Once she was able to get out of bed, she went to visit Gu Zhizhou.
Although Gu Zhizhou’s condition had been brought under control, he had yet to leave the ICU ward. Nan Huiru stayed by his side day and night, never leaving him for even a mont.
Ji Wei stood at the hospital window and watched for a long ti.
She saw how Nan Huiru tightly held her husband’s hand, calling his na over and over again. This woman, usually so sharp and strong-willed, had now shed tears, crying bitterly...
Ji Wei’s eyes reddened as well.
On the day she completed her discharge procedures, Ji Wei left a note asking the old butler to pass it on to Nan Huiru. After that, she boarded the car heading to the airport.
The old butler had already retrieved her luggage, so they didn’t even need to return to the estate.
Sitting in the car, Ji Wei watched London’s streets speed by. Her state of mind was worlds apart from when she first arrived.
Back then, she had co filled with hope, wishing to reconcile with Gu Moqian. Unexpectedly, she was leaving alone once again.
To this day, she still didn’t know where Gu Moqian was...
...
In the blink of an eye, it had been nearly a month and a half since Ji Wei returned from Britain.
During these days, she didn’t even know how she had endured. Every day, she waited anxiously for news of Gu Moqian, only to be disappointed again and again.
"Little Wei, I’m back!"
Ji Wei, who was sitting in a daze on the sofa, looked up at the sound of a voice to see Xia Duoduo standing at the doorway of the living room, carrying a small suitcase.
Xia Duoduo had ntioned her film was wrapping up soon, but Ji Wei hadn’t expected her to return this quickly.
Seeing her close friend, a faint and rare smile surfaced on Ji Wei’s pale face. "Co in quickly."
Xia Duoduo leaned her small suitcase against the wall and walked over, affectionately looping her arm through Ji Wei’s. "Be honest, did you miss ?"
Ji Wei cooperatively nodded. "Of course I did."
"That’s more like it. At least my rushing back the mont filming ended wasn’t for nothing."
Xia Duoduo smirked in satisfaction, then bent down and gently touched Ji Wei’s rounded belly, speaking in a tender voice, "Hey little one, did you miss your godmother?"
After finishing, she leaned her head close to listen, then exclaid, "Good job! Godmother didn’t spoil you for nothing!"
Watching Xia Duoduo talk to the baby through her belly brought an instant freeze to Ji Wei’s previously soft smile.
She suddenly rembered how Gu Moqian would also speak to the baby like this.
Back then, he would say: She was the "big treasure," the baby was the "little treasure," and his greatest love would always be her.
But now, that man who used to whisper sweet words in her ear was nowhere to be found...
Xia Duoduo chatted excitedly with the baby in Ji Wei’s belly for a while before noticing that Ji Wei hadn’t said a word. When she raised her head, she realized Ji Wei’s eyes were red.
Xia Duoduo froze briefly, then took Ji Wei’s hand and spoke gently, "Little Wei, wait for . I’ll go upstairs and put my luggage down and then co right back."
Ji Wei nodded softly.
Ten minutes later, Xia Duoduo ca running back downstairs dressed in a dashing suit.
"Well? Don’t I look incredibly handso?" Xia Duoduo patted her suit proudly.
She had cut her hair short after returning; her entire deanor seed sharper and more spirited.
At this mont, Xia Duoduo was wearing a tailored silver suit paired with a small vest. Her polished leather shoes glead, and her hair was styled with pomade. She had even applied light makeup, her thick eyebrows and bright eyes exuding an air of confidence.
Seeing Ji Wei remain silent for a while, Xia Duoduo took the initiative to grab her soft hand. "From now on, treat like a man today. Co on, Young Master Duoduo will accompany you for a day of shopping!"
