Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 450: The Bodyguard’s Ostentatious Entrance into the Village

"He probably heard it from the neighbors. Don’t be upset. Just focus on doing a good job acting. To survive in the entertainment industry, you still need to let your work speak for itself."

"Mm, I’ll work hard for sure!" Xia Duoduo clenched her fist on the other end of the phone. "When I win Best Actress, let’s see if the Great Demon King still dares to yell at me!"

Ji Wei’s lips twitched.

Duoduo, with your current level, winning Best Actress is still a long, long way off!

"By the way, those messy tabloid rumors didn’t cause you any trouble, did they? Did your Qianqian misunderstand?"

"...No, I explained it clearly."

"That’s good." Xia Duoduo let out a sigh of relief, not wanting her issues to trouble Ji Wei. "I’ll likely be stuck at the set for the next two months and won’t be able to see you, Little Wei. It’s so frustrating."

"It’s fine. I’ll visit you when you wrap up filming and celebrate with you."

"Okay, it’s a deal then!"

...

Gu Family’s President Office

Gu Moqian looked up when he heard footsteps and saw Ji Wei standing at the door with a soft smile on her face. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Come over," he said, slightly surprised. He put down his pen and waved her over.

Ji Wei walked over to him.

Gu Moqian pulled her into his arms effortlessly, letting her sit on his lap. He brushed his cheek against hers as he asked, "Why did you suddenly come to the Gu Family? Missing me, hmm?"

Ji Wei turned her head around, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked at him intently, as serious as could be. "Mo Qian, I’m going on a trip—to the village where my mom once stayed—to search for some important memories."

Before coming here, she had personally gone to the project site to inform Ling Ling that she might be delayed for a few days.

To her relief, Ling Ling had agreed very straightforwardly. Thankfully, this most capable assistant of hers managed everything so well that it eased a lot of her worries.

Gu Moqian’s deep-set eyes resembled a vast ocean as he stared steadily at her, with a flicker of emotion hidden within their depths.

That village, that starry night...

Will she remember what happened back then on this trip?

Seeing that Gu Moqian remained silent, Ji Wei assumed he didn’t approve of her going. She pouted. "Is it not okay?"

He snapped out of his thoughts. "Go ahead. But the Gu Family has so much going on recently; I’m afraid I won’t be able to go with you."

Ji Wei slightly sat up from his embrace and teasingly pinched his sharp, handsome face. "My husband’s a workaholic. I get it."

"However, I’ll arrange for someone to go with you to ensure your safety."

Gu Moqian didn’t mind the playful act of her pinching his face at all.

If anyone else had witnessed this, they’d probably be scared stiff. The ruthless and decisive Mr. Gu in the business world? Others couldn’t even lay a finger on him, yet Ji Wei could do whatever she pleased.

Ji Wei released her grip and pouted with displeasure. "I’m just visiting a small village. Having a bodyguard trailing me like a gatekeeper—it’s too conspicuous, don’t you think?"

The villagers would definitely assume she’s some kind of bigshot woman from the city.

She actually wanted to keep things low-key.

"Can’t they stay hidden and protect me in the shadows?" Ji Wei suggested.

The man’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and his eyes brimmed with an indulgent smile as one hand lazily played with a lock of her hanging hair. "No way. They must stay within three steps of you for me to feel at ease."

Ji Wei: "..."

Seriously? He’s making her feel like a prisoner—no freedom at all!

Gu Moqian chuckled, thoroughly entertained by her exaggerated pout. He raised a hand to pat her head. "Don’t worry. This time, it’ll be a female bodyguard."

As if he’d ever allow a male bodyguard to stay by her side 24/7.

Ji Wei’s interest was instantly piqued. "Really? Who is it? Someone even better than Ling Ling?"

Ling Ling was a black belt in Taekwondo!
