Sis... brother-in-law!
You two aren't even married yet, what 'brother-in-law' are you talking about!
Ji Shanshan was visibly upset, speaking with a pitiful tone: "Sis, I can't even say a word without you getting upset. Do you hate me that much now? I really don't understand what I've done to make you so unhappy..."
As she spoke, Ji Shanshan's voice carried a hint of sobbing, as if she were suffering injustice worse than Dou E.
Ji Wei frowned slightly, suppressing her urge to gag as she said, "Shanshan, you're overthinking things. You're my dear cousin—why would I hate you?"
Ji Wei's tone had subtle sarcasm, and Ji Shanshan naturally caught it.
Her lungs almost exploded with anger, and she couldn't help but stomp her foot in frustration, fiercely kicking the back of the chair.
Unfortunately, her foot hit the sturdiest part of the chair, causing her to cry out in pain.
Ji Wei didn't even bother to turn her head, a fleeting cold smile appearing in her eyes.
Ji Shanshan had humiliated herself, and her mood grew gloomier; she wanted nothing more than to get out of the car immediately.
Had she known this would happen, she would never have agreed to ride along.
Gu Moqian drove in silence the entire time, not uttering a word.
But deep down, he couldn't help but feel delighted.
This version of Ji Wei, who could leave Ji Shanshan speechless, was extraordinary—and utterly captivating.
She made him see his future wife in a completely new light.
Soon, the Maybach arrived at Rongcheng's busiest commercial district.
Ji Shanshan glanced out of the car window, her eyes full of surprise as she asked, "Sis, aren't we heading back to the Ji Family home? Why are we here?"
Ji Wei was equally puzzled, but if Gu Moqian had driven them here, he undoubtedly had his reasons.
"I was feeling thirsty and wanted to grab a drink. You know how much I love the milkshakes from that Paris Main Area in the city center, so Moqian drove us here specifically."
Of course, Ji Wei was merely making this up.
To her surprise, Gu Moqian actually stepped out of the car. "Wait here, I'll go buy you a milkshake."
Ji Wei hadn't expected Gu Moqian to take her seriously. She was momentarily stunned before quickly grabbing his hand. "I'll go with you."
Seeing both of them preparing to leave the car and leave her behind, Ji Shanshan became anxious. "I'm coming too!"
Ji Wei turned to her and said, "The sun outside is so intense. It's way more comfortable here in the car. Aren't you the one who's most afraid of getting a tan? We'll be back as soon as we get the milkshake—it'll just be a few minutes."
Ji Shanshan took another look at the blazing, sunlit shopping district outside and immediately backed out of the idea.
"Alright, I'll wait for you in the car then."
Ji Wei and Gu Moqian got out of the car together, with Gu Moqian taking the car keys before they left.
As they walked, Ji Wei couldn't help but ask, "Are we really going to buy milkshakes?"
"But I just made that up as an excuse."
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you."
Once again, Gu Moqian had subtly flirted with her.
After a brief pause, Ji Wei asked again, "You drove us here—there must be another reason, right?"
Gu Moqian stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. "Didn't you lose your phone? I brought you here to get a new one."
Ji Wei was taken aback. How did Gu Moqian know she'd lost her phone?
It turned out he had noticed something she hadn't paid any attention to herself, showing such thoughtful consideration.
She turned her head slightly to look at Gu Moqian, who was holding her hand, feeling deeply moved.
His dark, tailor-made suit accentuated his strong and upright figure, his long legs resembling those of a runway model. That mesmerizingly handsome side profile, paired with his poised and elegant demeanor, each movement radiating an air of power and charm—it all seemed to reinforce Gu Moqian's commanding presence.
"But if we're buying a phone, we can't get it done in just a few minutes. Ji Shanshan will definitely grow impatient."
"Not just impatient—she might throw a tantrum."
Ji Wei looked at him in confusion.
Gu Moqian leaned closer to her and whispered a few words near her ear.
Ji Wei stared at the handsome man in front of her, a faint smile on his lips, and her eyes widened instantly.
Sure enough, when Gu Moqian acted cunningly, no one could match him!
