Gu Moqian stood at the restaurant entrance, with the bodyguards split on either side.
Initially thought the two would talk for a long ti, but the middle-aged man erged in less than twenty minutes.
The bodyguards imdiately stood at attention to salute him, the man slightly nodded, and before leaving, he gave Gu Moqian a deep glance.
After pausing for two seconds, he turned around to stand in front of Gu Moqian and said in Chinese, "I can see that my daughter loves you very much and relies on you a great deal. I hope you can bring her true happiness. If you ever hurt her, I will unconditionally stand by her side."
A flash of shock finally appeared in Gu Moqian’s deep eyes.
Daughter?!
This man is Ji Wei’s father!
Before Gu Moqian could react, the middle-aged man had already turned around, leading the bodyguards into the elevator. Soon, the restaurant entrance was left with only Gu Moqian.
When Gu Moqian walked back into the restaurant, he saw Ji Wei already seated in front of the chair, asking the server for a bottle of red wine.
Seeing him walk towards her, Ji Wei smiled at him and said, "I’m suddenly craving so wine, what should I do?"
Gu Moqian noticed that the woman’s eyes had a hint of redness. Although she was smiling, it was a bitter smile that evoked sadness. His eyes grew deeper as he pulled out the chair opposite and sat down, speaking in a low voice, "Alright, I’ll join you."
"Thank you!"
Ji Wei pursed her lips and smiled even more joyfully. The server had already opened the red wine for her, and she directly picked up the wine glass in front of her, poured more than half the glass, and handed it to Gu Moqian, "Do as you please."
Gu Moqian silently took it, poured so for himself, and then placed the wine bottle aside.
Ji Wei picked up her wine glass and brought it to her lips, tilting her neck back and drinking it all in one go, then flipped the empty glass over to show him, not a drop left.
"Impressive, right?" She looked at him and laughed foolishly.
Gu Moqian watched her actions, his slender fingers tightly clutching the stem of the wine glass, feeling a sudden discomfort in his heart.
He knew she was upset, deeply upset.
After finishing her words, Ji Wei poured herself more wine, again drinking it down to the last drop. The woman across from him drank glass after glass of wine, her cheeks slowly turning rosy, yet still maintaining a hint of a smile.
Gu Moqian silently watched her drink herself to oblivion, not voicing any objection.
People often look for an outlet when facing sothing, perhaps getting drunk might make her feel a bit better.
Ji Wei also knew she was drunk; she wasn’t particularly good with alcohol to begin with.
At that mont, the man’s departing words suddenly flashed through her mind—
"You are the daughter of and her, the greatest surprise and gift given by heaven. Rest assured, I will not disturb your current life; I will only watch over you from afar, as long as your happiness is more important than anything."
"After today, unless absolutely necessary I will not seek you out again, consider this... our last eting."
Ji Wei suddenly placed the wine glass on the table, laughing lightly, "He actually said today is our last eting, yet this is only our first eting."
"Why can’t he be like other biological fathers, forcibly keeping by his side? That way, I could resent him with more justification. Instead, he said he just wants to see happy from afar, how utterly ridiculous!"
The woman across leaned on the table, staring at the remaining red liquid in the glass, muttering to herself, "I will not feel guilty! Even if he gave birth to but has never raised for a day, I will definitely not feel guilty, absolutely not..."
