In their previous life, Gu Moqian had completely given up on her because he found her sleeping with Ji Chuyang. That must have been his bottom line. As for trivial things like throwing a diamond ring or flipping a dining table, he seemed completely unfazed.
He looked at her with calm indifference. "Sometimes, being silly is kind of cute."
Ji Wei lowered her gaze, staring at the dazzling pink diamond between her fingers, her heart so full it could burst.
Suddenly, she looked up again at the man in front of her, his face ever so gentle with that faint smile. In a deeply serious tone, she said, "Moqian, you’re so good to me. There’s absolutely no way I’d ever run away."
"Where else do you think you’re going?" Gu Moqian’s tone rose slightly with teasing.
"I didn’t mean it like that..."
Before Ji Wei could finish her sentence, Gu Moqian cupped the back of her head, pressing a deep and domineering kiss on her lips.
When they returned to Shanshui Manor and stepped into the living room, Ji Wei immediately noticed a woman dressed in a crisp housekeeper’s uniform with her hair styled flawlessly, standing there waiting.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, good day. I’m Ling Ling. Assistant Chen brought me here. I’m a graduate of London University’s Management program and am honored to take on the housekeeper position at Shanshui Manor."
The housekeeper introduced herself and then gestured to a middle-aged woman standing beside her. "This is Aunt Zhu. I selected her from a group of candidates to be your maid. She’ll be responsible for your daily care."
"Good day, Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu," Aunt Zhu greeted them with a smile, her demeanor simple and unassuming.
Gu Moqian simply nodded slightly. "The Madam’s hungry. Is lunch ready?"
"Yes, Mr. Gu. Everything’s prepared and ready to be served."
Ji Wei ate heartily, savoring the delicious meal, but eventually couldn’t hold back her curiosity. "Isn’t hiring a highly educated housekeeper like Ling Ling a bit of a talent mismatch?"
"Ling Ling will also be your personal assistant from now on. Plus, she once won first place in London University’s Taekwondo competition. I’ll feel more at ease with her around."
Ji Wei nodded in approval.
Gu Moqian really thought of everything.
Having a female assistant around was certainly better than being escorted everywhere by two bodyguards who looked like door gods, scaring away anyone who dared to approach her.
"By the way," Ji Wei suddenly remembered something, "I haven’t gone through the materials on the Gu Family’s Westside project yet. Could you send the detailed documents to my email later?"
Seeing her newfound ambition, Gu Moqian naturally nodded. "Alright."
Over the next day and a half, Ji Wei stayed home, meticulously studying the project she was about to take over.
The Westside project wasn’t particularly complicated. The Gu Family planned to develop a plot of land in the western part of Rongcheng, creating a top-tier commercial center for the group. However, the area was surrounded by residential neighborhoods with dense populations. Dealing with resident relocation would undoubtedly be a significant challenge.
When Gu Moqian walked out of the bathroom after a shower, he found Ji Wei leaning against the headboard, clutching a stack of printed project documents. She had fallen asleep just like that.
He approached her, gently removed the documents from her hands, and carefully laid her flat onto the bed.
As her head touched the soft pillow, Ji Wei’s eyes suddenly fluttered open.
In a daze, she stared at the handsome face before her, struggling to process for a moment before groggily asking, "What time is it?"
"Oh, goodnight then, hubby..."
Ji Wei turned over, her back facing him, and continued to sleep.
"Not changing into your pajamas?"
Gu Moqian leaned in close to her ear and asked in a low voice.
"Too tired, don’t want to," Ji Wei mumbled softly.
"Need me to help you?"
Half-asleep, the woman let out a faint, kitten-like "mm" in response.
