The woman in his arms finally began to mumble hazily, her voice murmuring slowly like a dream: "Mo Qian... I love you, I love you so much..."
Her voice was filled with unabashed love.
Gu Moqian slightly lowered his gaze, his hand gently stroking the woman’s sleeping face. In the dim room, his eyes were tinged with a soft, indulgent look.
He let out a quiet breath.
His body’s reaction showed no intention of subsiding—looks like tonight would be a long night.
Ji Wei woke up naturally, blinking her eyes open to see it was already past nine.
She propped herself up to sit and saw Gu Moqian, dressed in casual homewear, walking out of the bathroom.
"Mo Qian, you have injuries. Are you still planning to go to the company today?" she asked while rubbing her sleepy eyes.
He walked over, cupped her face, and kissed her smooth forehead. "Don’t worry, I’m not going. The family doctor will come soon to change the bandages on my wound."
Ji Wei nodded. "Alright, then I’ll get up too."
After freshening up, the two went downstairs together.
While having breakfast, Ji Wei received a call from Xia Duoduo.
As soon as the call connected, Xia Duoduo’s voice came through impatiently: "Little Wei, let’s meet up today. I have something I need to ask you."
Xia Duoduo had never spoken so seriously to her over the phone before, and Ji Wei was momentarily stunned. She quickly asked, "Aren’t you shooting your movie in Hengcheng? Why did you suddenly come back?"
"I asked the crew for two days off. I really need to talk to you about something important. I’ll send you the address in a moment—see you in an hour, no excuses!"
Ji Wei wanted to ask more, but Xia Duoduo abruptly hung up.
A minute later, her phone buzzed with a message from Xia Duoduo containing the address.
Ji Wei stared blankly at the words on the screen.
Previously, whenever she met up with Xia Duoduo, it was always at restaurants, bars, or coffee shops. This time, she’d chosen a fitness club! Original content can be found at ⓝovelFire.net
It was undeniably unusual.
"Duoduo made plans with you?" Gu Moqian, who was elegantly sipping his coffee across from her, asked casually.
"Hm, she said she has something to ask me. She’s acting all mysterious about it," Ji Wei muttered, cutting into the bacon on her plate as she voiced her complaints.
"You two haven’t met for a while. It’ll be a chance to catch up."
Ji Wei paused in her movements, lifting her bright, sparkling eyes to look at him. "The family doctor will be here soon; is it okay if I don’t help?"
"It’s fine—just some disinfecting and a bandage change."
"Alright then. I’ll head out after breakfast. I might have lunch with Duoduo, so no need to wait for me," Ji Wei replied.
Gu Moqian gently placed down his coffee cup and nodded. "Got it."
After breakfast, Ji Wei quickly went upstairs to change her clothes before coming back down.
"Honey, I’m heading out! I’ll check on the project site in the afternoon, so I’ll see you tonight!" Ji Wei said cheerfully, planting a kiss on his cheek.
Gu Moqian smiled as he watched her dash out of the living room. Only when her slender figure disappeared down the far end of the road did he withdraw his gaze.
Turning around, he caught Aunt Zhu staring at him with a faintly astonished expression. Realizing something, Gu Moqian reached up and touched his cheek.
There was undoubtedly a lipstick mark left behind by Ji Wei just now.
"Mr. Gu, should I bring you a warm towel... to wipe it off?" Aunt Zhu asked hesitantly, lowering her gaze respectfully.
Gu Moqian’s lips curled into a faint smile. "No need."
With that, he strode toward the study.
About fifteen minutes later, the family doctor arrived to examine his wound and replace the bandage.
Once it was done, Gu Moqian sat on the sofa and pulled out his phone, dialing his assistant Chen Ke’s number.
"How are things on the Ji Family’s side?" he asked in a low, calm voice.
