Ji Wei looked at the scene in front of her, still completely dazed. So, did Xia Duoduo sleep with Ye Cheng or not?
If they really did sleep together, wouldn’t it be super awkward when they meet at the company?
"Here, drink this honey lemon juice. It’ll help sober you up."
Mo Qian had somehow appeared next to her, handing her a glass of fresh, golden-yellow juice.
Ji Wei took it and sipped: "Mo Qian, do you know what really happened between Ye Cheng and Duoduo last night?"
"Last night, Xia Duoduo got drunk, and Ye Cheng helped her into her room. But she insisted on sleeping on Ye Cheng’s bed and refused to sleep in her own room. So, Ye Cheng ended up squeezing in with Xi Nanfeng."
It seemed that Xia Duoduo had forgotten all about her drunken antics the previous night. She had woken up in Ye Cheng’s room and just happened to see Ye Cheng coming in to grab his razor, leading to this perfectly crafted misunderstanding.
Ji Wei took another sip of the sweet and sour juice and asked Mo Qian with a serious expression, "Did I do anything strange last night?"
Mo Qian looked into the bright, clear eyes of the petite woman and said calmly, "You bit me."
"Huh?" Ji Wei froze for a moment and then hesitantly asked, "Where did I bite you?"
"Is it serious? Let me see." Ji Wei set the juice aside on the windowsill and reached out to tug at Mo Qian’s shirt.
Mo Qian was only wearing a dress shirt with two buttons undone, making it easy for Ji Wei to pull it aside.
Seeing a distinct row of teeth marks on Mo Qian’s shoulder, Ji Wei’s face twitched. She really didn’t hold back last night; the teeth marks were still there after an entire night—it must’ve been a pretty hard bite.
"Does it still hurt?" Ji Wei tiptoed and puckered her lips, blowing softly on the bite marks.
At the same moment, Ye Cheng and Xi Nanfeng happened to walk out of the dining room and caught sight of this scene.
Xi Nanfeng still had half a steamed bun in his mouth and muttered indistinctly, "First thing in the morning, can’t you two close the door or something... mmmph..."
Ji Wei blinked, indicating she didn’t catch what he said.
Xi Nanfeng laboriously swallowed the bite of steamed bun: "Ahem... Flirting and tugging at clothes in front of us this early, you should really think about the impression you’re leaving."
Ji Wei suddenly let go of Mo Qian’s shirt and awkwardly tried to explain, "His shoulder was hurting, I just wanted to blow on it, haha..."
A few minutes later, Ye Cheng and Xi Nanfeng each found excuses to leave, probably not wanting to stick around and endure the "dog food."
After leisurely finishing breakfast, Ji Wei was about to ask Mo Qian what he planned to do today since it was a rare weekend. Just then, Mo Qian received a phone call.
Ji Wei noticed his brows furrowing slightly as he listened to the voice on the line. When he hung up, she couldn’t help but ask with concern, "What’s wrong? Is it an urgent matter at work?"
"No." Mo Qian looked at her, paused for a moment, his eyes deep and voice calm: "My mom is back."
"At the airport? Did she ask you to pick her up right away? Let’s go, I’ll go with you." Ji Wei spoke as she pushed back her chair and stood up, but before she could take a step, Mo Qian grabbed her hand.
"She’s not at the airport." Mo Qian gazed at Ji Wei, kept silent for a few seconds, then continued, "She went straight to the Zhu Family’s house."
Ji Wei blinked in confusion. Why would Nan Huiru head straight to the Zhu Family’s house the moment she returned?
"So, is she asking you to go over there too?"
Ji Wei couldn’t help but feel a subtle hint of unease rising in her heart.
"Just now, Zhu Jianian called using my mom’s phone. She said my mom was feeling unwell and dizzy after landing, so she took it upon herself to bring my mom to the Zhu Family’s house."
So, Nan Huiru hadn’t contacted her own son after returning but had Zhu Jianian pick her up from the airport instead...
Ji Wei was supposed to be the daughter-in-law, but Nan Huiru had chosen someone else to pick her up. Was this Nan Huiru’s way of delivering a warning the moment she returned?
