When the car arrived at Shanshui Manor, Ji Wei rushed out with a flushed face, not daring to glance at Old Xu’s expression.
The scene in the car just now was far too embarrassing!
She bolted straight to the bedroom and finally let out a sigh of relief. But when she turned around, she saw Mo Qian had already taken off his suit jacket and was unbuttoning his shirt.
The man’s eyes were fixed on her, deep and captivating. His slender, pale fingers moved fluidly as he unbuttoned, revealing the skin on his chest. Ji Wei stared blankly at his toned chest muscles.
How was it that such a simple action of unbuttoning could make her feel a rush of heat inside, unable to keep her composure? This update is available on novelFirｅ.net
Mo Qian continued unbuttoning his shirt as he casually walked forward.
She instinctively took a step back.
This... was he coming closer?
Ji Wei’s mind raced with chaotic thoughts, and before she could process them, Mo Qian’s handsome face was already inches away.
Reflected in his dark pupils was her flustered and slightly shy figure.
The next moment, his lips lightly brushed closer.
"Mo Qian, tonight we—" Ji Wei shut her eyes tightly and blurted out.
"Tonight what?" His cool, thin lips grazed her burning cheek, stopping softly at her ear, and he asked hoarsely.
Ji Wei opened her eyes, noticing the teasing smile brimming in his gaze, staring right at her. In that instant, she understood.
"Mo Qian, you’re doing this on purpose to tease me!"
She protested coquettishly, raising her hand to playfully punch him, but before she could, Mo Qian caught her wrist.
Then he lowered his head and placed a kiss on the back of her fair, delicate hand.
Ji Wei’s heart fluttered along with his kiss.
Looking up, she realized she was still dazed. Mo Qian reached out and patted the top of her head gently, speaking softly, "I have an important project to handle later. Once I shower, I need to head out. Wait for me to come back, okay?"
So he was undressing earlier because he intended to take a shower!
Ji Wei’s cheeks heated, and she felt awkward and slightly mortified.
So she had completely misunderstood.
Ji Wei nodded sheepishly, "Do you need me to help with anything?"
Mo Qian’s gaze deepened for a moment, "No need, I’ll be quick."
Truthfully, if Ji Wei were to join him, it probably wouldn’t be a quick shower anymore.
Suppressing his impulses, he let her go and quickly turned around to stride into the bathroom.
After Mo Qian left for the company, Ji Wei made a call to Ling Ling.
She had spent the past couple of days celebrating her great-grandmother’s birthday, delegating project affairs to Ling Ling for the time being. Ling Ling informed her that everything had been running smoothly, except for a report requiring a signature from Gu Headquarters that had been submitted two days ago without any updates.
"Alright, I’ll head over shortly and personally bring the report to Gu Headquarters for the signature."
Ji Wei hung up and quickly changed before heading out.
At the project office, she first combed through the documents needing review from the past two days, then grabbed the report and took a cab to Gu Headquarters.
This was Ji Wei’s second time formally visiting Gu Headquarters.
She navigated her way effortlessly, taking the elevator upstairs and explaining her purpose to the receptionist. The receptionist escorted her to a lounge room to wait: "Vice President Liu is in a meeting. Director Ji, please wait a moment."
The receptionist poured her a glass of water before exiting.
Knowing Mo Qian was out discussing a project, Ji Wei could only patiently wait for Vice President Liu.
As time ticked by, Ji Wei meticulously reviewed the report again. When she raised her head, she realized nearly an hour had passed according to the clock on the wall.
It was now twelve-thirty in the afternoon. Was Vice President Liu still in that meeting?
