Also, from the tone of her voice, it seems like she’s very familiar with Gu Moqian and close to him.
Who is she?
"Mo Qian, are you listening?" The person on the other side asked again when there was no response.
Ji Wei paused for a mont before replying as calmly as possible, "He’s not available to take the call right now. You might want to try again later."
The other person was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked in surprise, "Who... are you?"
Ji Wei smiled lightly, "I’m Ji Wei, Mo Qian’s fiancée."
The silence on the other end lasted so long that Ji Wei almost thought they’d hung up, but then she heard the voice again, seemingly trembling, "Mo Qian is with you now?"
"I’m holding his phone, what do you think?" Ji Wei replied with a faint smile.
"Is he bringing you along to pick up?" The other person asked again.
Ji Wei pursed her lips, her smile remaining distant, "Probably not. Mo Qian and I are on a date right now; he likely doesn’t have ti to pick you up."
Another silence followed, breaking only after a lengthy pause. "Oh... I see." The voice said.
Right after, the call was cut off.
Ji Wei held the phone and stared at it for a while, unaware that Gu Moqian had co over carrying steaming dishes.
"What’s wrong?"
Gu Moqian set the plates down on the table and asked.
Ji Wei snapped out of her thoughts and handed him the phone. "There was a call for you earlier. I answered it without asking. It was a woman, and she said you were supposed to pick her up from the airport."
Gu Moqian’s eyes flickered but quickly returned to normal as he replied indifferently, "I never agreed to pick anyone up."
"Then who is she?"
Jealousy stirred faintly in Ji Wei’s heart, and she couldn’t stop herself from blurting out the question.
"She’s the daughter of a friend of my mother’s." Gu Moqian answered without any hesitation.
"Oh." Ji Wei nodded. "She must have a good relationship with you; I suppose you saw each other often as kids?"
Gu Moqian raised his deep and profound eyes to look at her but didn’t deny it.
Ji Wei continued in an understated tone, "I see. So she’s your childhood friend, and I’m guessing your mother likes her very much."
"Are you jealous?"
His dark gaze locked onto hers.
"Yes." Ji Wei didn’t deny it.
"She’s known you since childhood—so many mories between you two. Even if she’s just a friend, such a bond makes envious." Ji Wei openly confessed her feelings without reservation.
In her view, there should be no secrets between her and Gu Moqian; they should be honest with each other.
Gu Moqian chuckled when he heard her words.
He walked up to her, pulled her into his arms, let his chin rest on the top of her head, and spoke gently, "Don’t worry. In my heart, there’s only room for you. As for others, even if they try to squeeze their way in, they’ll end up battered and bruised, with no chance at all."
"What if soone refuses to give up?"
Gu Moqian was such an outstanding man—surely won would covet him wherever he went.
"Then I’ll make her give up."
Gu Moqian’s words were delivered lightly, but his gaze was strikingly sharp.
Ji Wei asked no more questions. She believed this man would keep his word.
She rested her head against his chest, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.
Her silent gesture was response enough, and Gu Moqian’s lips gradually curved into a charming smile.
After finishing the warm al, Ji Wei felt less cold.
The two stood side by side at the mountaintop, gazing out at the majestic sea of clouds swirling below as the sun slowly set, painting the sky with a fiery glow of golden light.
For the first ti in a long while, Ji Wei seriously admired the sunset, so captivated she didn’t blink once.
She was watching the sunset, while Gu Moqian was watching her.
Her porcelain-white face was bathed in the golden hue of the setting sun, and her clear, bright eyes reflected the vibrant colors of the dusk.
The entire figure of her seed enshrouded in the warm afterglow. Strands of hair danced in the wind, her luscious red lips parted slightly, resembling an irresistibly golden cherry kissed by the sunlight.
Gu Moqian’s ocean-like eyes stirred as he leaned down suddenly, cupped her face with both hands, and kissed her.
