Chapter 537: You Are Now a Key Protection Target
He never thought about giving up on you.Those words struck Xia Duoduo’s heart like a heavy blow, leaving her utterly speechless.
"An An, no need to say more," Ye Cheng said, "There’s nothing to discuss with someone who has already given up on themselves. Let’s go."
After saying that, Ye Cheng turned to leave.
Xia Duoduo had never expected things to turn out this way. Her nose tingled with suppressed sorrow as she hurriedly shouted, "Don’t leave!"
She had misunderstood.
To ensure she wouldn’t be replaced, Ye Cheng had sent an assistant to help her return to Heng City for filming...
Regret washed over Xia Duoduo suddenly. She deeply regretted her earlier impulsive outburst.
"I’m sorry, I misunderstood you," she said, her eyes red as she stared at Ye Cheng’s retreating back.
Ye Cheng slowly turned around.
It was only then that Xia Duoduo noticed the deep fatigue etched on his handsome face. The Great Demon King had almost gone the entire night without sleep. He was undoubtedly worn out, yet here he was, seeking her out early in the morning.
Xia Duoduo wanted to slap herself. How could she have been so unreasonable?
"We need to depart before eleven. Hurry up," Ye Cheng said, his voice calm and cold.
Xia Duoduo nodded hastily, "Alright, alright... I’ll pack right away." As she turned, tears slid down her cheeks once more.
"Sister Xia, let me help you."
An An brightened visibly and followed after her to assist.
Once everything was packed, the group set off for Heng City. In the car, Xia Duoduo sent Ji Wei a text message.
"Little Wei, so sorry! I have to go back to Heng City to continue filming and won’t be able to visit you for now. This is a chance the Great Demon King fought for on my behalf. I have to give it my all and aim for the Best Supporting Actress Award in a TV drama! Take good care of yourself and my godson, alright? I’ll miss you lots, mwah!"
...
A week later, Ji Wei was discharged from the hospital.
After some time recuperating, her body had recovered well.
Ji Wei thought she would see Nan Huiru when she returned to Shanshui Manor, but she didn’t.
She turned and looked at Gu Moqian with questioning eyes.
"My mother is staying at the Gu Family’s old residence for now," he answered blandly.
Ji Wei nodded in understanding.
Nan Huiru must have realized it would be quite awkward to live under the same roof as her.
That arrangement was just fine.
After placing her belongings downstairs, Aunt Zhu brought over a bowl of snow fungus soup for Ji Wei to drink.
But Gu Moqian took it naturally, gently stirred it with the spoon, and blew on it.
Seeing the man’s focused expression as he lowered his head, Ji Wei’s heart felt warm and full.
"Come on, I’ll feed you," he said.
Gu Moqian led her by the hand to the sofa. Once seated, he scooped a spoonful of the soup, blew on it carefully, and brought it to Ji Wei’s lips.
Ji Wei couldn’t help but laugh as she teased, "I’m just pregnant, you don’t have to act like I’m incapable of doing anything other than opening my mouth."
"You are now my top priority," Gu Moqian said with utmost seriousness as he continued to feed her.
"Pfft~"
Ji Wei burst into laughter, "Mo Qian, you’re too uptight. Relax a bit."
Gu Moqian watched her laugh but did not react. He continued feeding her with calm determination.
Ji Wei couldn’t argue with him. Left with no choice, she obediently cooperated and ate more than half the bowl. Out of nowhere, she blinked and asked, "Mo Qian, is there still no news about my father?" ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novelFirｅ.net
She had asked this question many times before, and the answer was always the same.
Gu Moqian’s hand, holding the spoon, paused. He replied, "The team I sent out is still searching across multiple countries. So far, no bad news has come back, which means he should be safe."
When their people reached the location Tang Yi had mentioned, Ji Yunli was nowhere to be found. Attempts to interrogate Tang Yi yielded the same answers, and she didn’t seem to be lying.
Gu Moqian speculated that Ji Yunli’s sudden disappearance abroad might have been intentional. Could he have something important to take care of?
