Ji Wei was startled by the sudden appearance of two large men.
The man in front of her casually pulled out a chair and sat down, his features sharp and rugged. There was an air of carefree arrogance about him, radiating the vibe of a playful son from a wealthy family.
The man who followed closely behind wore his long hair loosely tied back in a ponytail.
Pale skin and a delicate appearance usually describe women, yet it suited this man perfectly. His slightly upturned eyes carried a hint of seduction, and his thin lips, pale as water, gave him an otherworldly presence encapsulated in one word: enchanting.
"Mo Qian, who are they..."
Ji Wei knew that anyone who could behave so casually in front of Gu Moqian must be someone close to him.
Gu Moqian hadn’t replied yet when Xi Nanfeng jumped in first: "I’m Xi Nanfeng, and he’s Ye Cheng. We’re both your fiancé’s men."
Uh, why did that introduction sound a bit odd?
Seeing Ji Wei’s confused expression, Gu Moqian patiently explained, "They’re the friends I wanted to introduce to you last night—one’s the second son of the Xi Family, and the other’s a highly sought-after celebrity agent."
The Xi Family was considered one of Rongcheng’s top five wealthiest families, so Ji Wei had naturally heard of them. But as for the renowned celebrity agent, this was her first time seeing one in person, and her eyes instantly shone with admiration.
"Mr. Ye, what kind of artists do you manage?"
Gu Moqian spoke calmly, "He manages three Best Actor winners, four Best Actress winners, and six of the hottest idol stars."
Ji Wei’s mouth immediately formed an "O" shape upon hearing this.
If she had known Gu Moqian was acquainted with such an influential agent, she would have introduced Xia Duoduo to Ye Cheng long ago! That way, Duoduo wouldn’t be struggling in the obscure third-tier anymore.
"Mr. Ye, are you still accepting artists?" Ji Wei asked enthusiastically.
Suddenly, Gu Moqian clasped her hand. "You should just focus on becoming Mrs. Gu. Being an artist—such a public-facing profession—doesn’t suit you."
"I wasn’t trying to..."
Ji Wei was about to explain but was cut off by Xi Nanfeng: "Old Mo, it’s perfectly normal for Miss Ji to want a job. What, are you planning to hide her away forever, keeping her at your side like a treasure locked in a gilded cage?"
"If she wants a job, I can arrange for her to work at the Gu Family." Gu Moqian replied calmly.
"I get it now. In the end, it’s just your overpowering possessiveness talking. You’re scared someone might dare try to snatch your woman. But let me tell you, to compete with Rongcheng’s Number One Young Master for a woman, that man probably hasn’t even been born yet."
"How do you know he hasn’t been born yet?" Ji Wei asked, curious.
Xi Nanfeng smirked. "Because that man would be your child with Old Mo. Unless you get pregnant now, he wouldn’t arrive early."
"I’m not pregnant..."
Ji Wei’s face instantly flushed red.
She and Gu Moqian hadn’t... done that yet, so how could she possibly be pregnant?
With her cheeks burning, Ji Wei couldn’t help but glance at Gu Moqian. Seeing the deep amusement in his eyes, she quickly lowered her head.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. I’m starving here, and nobody’s bringing me a meal. Guess I’ll head to the kitchen myself to find something to eat."
Xi Nanfeng said as he stood up and walked toward the kitchen.
Gu Moqian glanced at Ye Cheng, who was still standing there. His gaze turned slightly serious: "You’re not here just to see Ji Wei, are you?"
"Mm. I have something to discuss with you."
Ye Cheng didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"You eat first. I’ll be back shortly."
Gu Moqian said softly to Ji Wei, then stood up.
Ji Wei stared blankly at the backs of the two men disappearing into the study, her eyes flickering with a hint of confusion.
What on earth could the two possibly need to talk about?
