Chapter 558: Watch Your Mouth, Next Time I Won’t Be So Kind
"I can’t stand this kind of person the most. We should expose her!" Another girl said as she raised her phone to take pictures of them.Ji Wei’s face instantly turned cold.
Xi Nanfeng frowned as well, glanced back at Ye Cheng, and said, "Take Ji Wei away first. Leave this to me."
Ye Cheng nodded and led Ji Wei away.
"Hey, why are you running? Pretending to be a fake heiress and still won’t let people talk about it—" one of the girls shouted and started chasing after them, but Xi Nanfeng stepped forward and blocked her path.
"What... are you trying to do?" The girl didn’t recognize Xi Nanfeng at first. Seeing him in a well-tailored suit with a strikingly handsome face yet radiating an eerie aura, she instinctively stepped back.
Xi Nanfeng had no patience for nonsense and directly reached out for her phone. "Hand it over."
The girl clutched her phone tightly, fear flashing in her eyes. "This is my phone..."
"Give it or not?" Already in a bad mood, Xi Nanfeng was completely out of patience. His heavier tone scared the girl to the point her eyes reddened. Trembling, she reluctantly handed the phone over.
Without hesitation, Xi Nanfeng found the photos she’d just taken and deleted them all. He warned, "Keep your mouth in check. Next time, I won’t be so polite."
He tossed the phone, letting it land in her arms, and turned to leave without looking back.
The girl, pale-faced with fright, exchanged glances with her two companions, all looking visibly shaken.
"That... That was Second Young Master Xi just now! No wonder he had that commanding presence." One girl suddenly remembered, exclaiming.
"I thought so too! So handsome, so handsome!" The third girl nodded repeatedly, agreeing enthusiastically.
"You two are still swooning when I nearly had a heart attack. Let’s go, let’s go..."

Outside the restaurant
Ji Wei got into the Maybach and rolled down the window to say to Ye Cheng, "Mr. Ye, I’m truly sorry about tonight, making you spend so much. I must return the favor another day."
"Alright," Ye Cheng responded indifferently.
"Then see you." Ji Wei waved at him.
She now saw Ye Cheng in a slightly different light—this was a man who seemed cold on the outside but had warmth within. Duoduo made a good choice this time; Ye Cheng was far better than that scumbag Xiao Zhen by miles.
On the way back, Ji Wei made a call to Xia Duoduo.
"Is Duoduo asleep?"
"No, I’m waiting to shoot a night scene. Looks like I’ll be staying up half the night again. I’m so exhausted and sleepy; I just want to lie in a warm bed and sleep," Xia Duoduo’s tired voice came through, making her fatigue evident.
Ji Wei, knowing how hard filming could be, offered sympathy and said, "Hang in there. Once you’re done, I’ll come visit you."
"Really?" Xia Duoduo perked up a bit upon hearing this, then hesitated, "But you’re pregnant now, isn’t it inconvenient?"
"Almost three months already. Riding in a car is fine," Ji Wei assured.
"Alright then."
"Is there anything you need? I’ll bring it for you."
"I really miss the street food in Rongcheng. The food here has no chili, and I find it absolutely tasteless," Xia Duoduo complained.
"Okay, I’ll bring some for you."
Back at Shanshui Manor, Aunt Zhu thought Ji Wei hadn’t had dinner yet and was about to prepare something for her, but Ji Wei stopped her, "Aunt Zhu, no need to trouble yourself. I had dinner outside, you can go rest."
"Oh... And Mr. Gu? Is he not coming back tonight?"
"Mm, his flight was delayed. He probably won’t be back." Chapters fırst released on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
After heading upstairs, Ji Wei originally intended to take a hot bath before going to bed, but remembering Gu Moqian’s remark about not bathing alone, she abandoned the idea.
She finished washing up and leaned against the headboard to call Gu Moqian. However, the response on the phone was: "Sorry, the number you dialed is currently powered off..."
