"Feeling better. Just so cold symptoms, no need to call a doctor." Ji Wei replied, pursing her lips.
The rain outside was getting heavier, and Gu Moqian turned on the wipers. The figure of a traffic cop suddenly appeared in the rain curtain ahead, suggesting there had been a traffic accident, causing traffic to co to a standstill.
This road is the main route ho, so they had to sit in the car and wait for the traffic to resu.
Ji Wei took her dication, and soon after, felt her head heavy, eyelids practically glued together, unable to open.
Seeing her head slowly sliding to the side, Gu Moqian quickly reached out to support her head. He moved his body towards Ji Wei until her head could rest comfortably on his shoulder.
Feeling the security brought by the man’s broad shoulder, Ji Wei murmured drowsily.
After she leaned against him for a while, confirming she was asleep, Gu Moqian lowered her seat so she could lie down and rest more comfortably.
Just as he was about to sit up straight, Ji Wei suddenly reached out and grabbed his clothes, still asleep, muttering incoherently: "I found the things hidden in the secret compartnt... Mo Qian, are you hiding sothing from ..."
Gu Moqian instantly froze there.
When did she discover this?
Why didn’t he notice any anomaly?
Did she find those dicines but kept silent, feeling suffocated?
Thoughts swirling, Gu Moqian gently raised his hand, lightly brushing over her slightly feverish cheek, his expression soft and tender.
He removed his coat and covered her, ensuring she wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable before starting the car.
The traffic ahead had already resud, the Maybach glided into the flow amidst the rain fog.
Upon arriving at Shanshui Manor, Ji Wei was still asleep; Gu Moqian carried her out of the car, while the servant held an umbrella for them, guiding them into the living room.
Gu Moqian carried Ji Wei upstairs, laying her on the soft, large bed.
Ji Wei woke up and realized she was ho. The light above was a bit harsh; she raised her hand to shield her eyes, lowering it only after adjusting.
She sat up and found the bedroom absent of Gu Moqian’s presence, lifting the blanket to get out of bed.
Her head still slightly dizzy, Ji Wei went to the bathroom to wash her face, and before leaving the sink, she couldn’t help but glance at the direction of the secret compartnt again.
Pulled by an inexplicable impulse, she opened the compartnt, discovering a box of condoms inside.
Ji Wei’s eyes widened, doubting what she saw.
The syringe and dicine—where did they go? Why did they suddenly disappear?
Could it be that Gu Moqian swapped them out?
Confused, Ji Wei went downstairs. The living room was empty of Gu Moqian’s shadow, she walked forward and noticed light coming from the slightly open study door.
Ji Wei hesitated for two seconds, then walked over.
Push the door open, and Gu Moqian’s tall figure ca into view.
He stood by the window, back turned to her; outside, the rain had stopped, the refreshing post-rain air flowing in, yet the room still retained a faint tobacco scent.
Ji Wei’s gaze paused slightly—was he smoking?
"Mo Qian."
Ji Wei called out, her voice slightly hoarse from the cold.
Gu Moqian turned his head, a cigarette still between his fingers, seeing her appear, the heaviness between his brows instantly fading, as he quickly walked to the desk, extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray.
