Gu Moqian paused slightly, then raised his hand to gently rub the top of her head, his voice soft and tender: "That’s not true. She’s overseas right now. When she returns, I’ll arrange for you two to et."
Really?
Although Ji Wei still held doubts about Gu Moqian’s answer, she chose not to press further.
The Maybach finally stopped at the entrance of Shanshui Manor.
Gu Moqian escorted Ji Wei to the living room: "You didn’t sleep well last night. Go back to your room and take a nap."
"Are you really heading to the office?" Ji Wei grabbed his hand, unwilling to let go.
Gu Moqian tightened his grip on her hand: "Still worried?"
Ji Wei nodded without hiding her feelings: "My husband is so outstanding. What if so other woman snatches you away?"
"Snatches away?" Gu Moqian raised a brow. "What do you think your husband is—a piece of at?"
"Not just at, fresh at! If you were a bit younger, you could debut as a celebrity and instantly overshadow those so-called young heartthrobs."
Gu Moqian suddenly extended a slender finger and gently rubbed her luscious red lips. His voice lowered and carried a hint of danger: "So you’re saying I’m a bit old now?"
Ji Wei quickly shook her head, instinctively responding to the threat: "You’re only twenty-eight, definitely not old! Besides, n only get more attractive as they mature. I happen to love the way you are."
The corners of Gu Moqian’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. That sounded about right.
"Alright, I’m leaving. Rest up and wait for to co ho after work."
He withdrew his hand and turned to walk outside.
"Mo Qian, wait!" Ji Wei suddenly called out to him.
Gu Moqian turned around, sowhat surprised.
Ji Wei quickly stepped in front of him, laughing into her palm: "The lipstick mark on your face is still there. Are you planning to walk into the office like this and let your employees stare holes into you?"
Gu Moqian replied calmly, "I don’t mind."
"..."
Ji Wei froze for a few seconds but eventually reached out to rub away the lipstick on his face. "Honey, let’s keep a low profile, okay...?"
That one word, "Honey," stirred Gu Moqian’s heart.
Looking at her flushed cheeks, he suddenly leaned in and captured her lips in a firm kiss.
This must have been the umpteenth ti he’d kissed her; Ji Wei had completely lost count.
Was it possibly because last night he’d tasted the forbidden fruit, and now the man was acting without restraint?
Once again, Ji Wei was kissed dizzy by Gu Moqian, leaning intoxicated and breathless against his chest, her dewy eyes clouded with confusion.
Gu Moqian stared at her for a mont, then abruptly pushed her away to create so distance and turned away with restraint.
He worried that if he stayed even a second longer, he’d lose all motivation to go to the office.
Ji Wei stood dazed, watching his retreating figure disappear through the doors of the living room, still trying to recover her senses.
Suddenly, sothing dawned on her, and her eyes widened.
She had only wiped away half of the lipstick mark on Gu Moqian’s face...
At that mont, her phone rang. Ji Wei took it out and looked at the screen—it was Xia Duoduo calling.
"Weiwei, do you have a mont right now? I want to talk to you." Xia Duoduo’s voice sounded hoarse and weak.
Concerned for her friend, Ji Wei imdiately nodded, "I do. Send the address, and I’ll head over right away."
Thirty minutes later, Ji Wei arrived at the appointed dessert shop where Xia Duoduo was waiting.
Xia Duoduo sat alone in a seat by the street-facing window, resting her head on one hand, staring blankly at the traffic outside.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ji Wei walked over and handed her a bottle of lemon water she’d just bought.
"You’ve arrived."
Xia Duoduo turned her head, her mood low, as she accepted the water.
"What’s wrong?" Ji Wei asked gently as she took a seat across from her. "Yesterday... how did your date with Xiao Zhen go?"
As soon as Xia Duoduo heard Xiao Zhen’s na, her face paled noticeably.
Before she could answer, her gaze shifted toward the glass window outside.
A few school-aged girls had stopped by the window, pointing at Xia Duoduo and gossiping loudly.
"Look, isn’t she the B-list celeb rumored to be dating Xiao Zhen? I thought she’d be stunning, but she’s really just... so-so."
"Rumored girlfriend? Xiao Zhen hasn’t even acknowledged her! It’s all this faker stirring things up, trying to leech off him for clout. Shaless!"
"Soone like her being linked to Xiao Zhen is an insult to our idol’s taste. No way—I’m posting on Weibo. This woman needs to get out of the entertainnt industry now!"
