Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 638 He Never Came Back...

Mo Qian’s gaze paused slightly. "About a week."

"Go ahead without worry. I’ll take good care of myself. While you’re away, I can go back and spend some time with Grandma. She’s been saying for ages that she wants me to stay at the Ji Family for a few days," Ji Wei said.

Mo Qian looked at the gentle smile on the woman’s lips, dazed for a few seconds, before speaking with some difficulty: "Alright."

...

"Miss, does the breakfast suit your taste?"

In the Ji Family dining room, the butler, Uncle Zhao, stood beside Ji Wei, inquiring with a friendly smile.

"Hmm." 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Ji Wei responded absentmindedly, her gaze fixed on the phone lying on the dining table.

The first thing she did upon waking up in the morning was check her phone, but even now, she hadn’t received any calls or messages from Mo Qian.

Uncle Zhao saw the heaviness in her demeanor, and wisely refrained from disturbing her, quietly withdrawing.

Ji Wei only had a few sips of her porridge before putting down her bowl and reaching for her phone. She pulled up Mo Qian’s number, hesitated for a few seconds, then dialed.

The dial tone echoed in the receiver, but it was never answered before the call ended naturally.

It was already the third day.

Ever since Mo Qian had left for Britain, he hadn’t contacted her directly. She thought he might be too busy, so she had only sent a few texts to check on him, but she’d received no replies.

Ji Wei slowly put down her phone, the unease in her heart growing stronger.

Right now, it’s the early morning in Britain. Maybe Mo Qian is asleep and can’t answer the phone.

She could only convince herself with this reasoning.

Because she always believed in Mo Qian’s words—he said he would be back in a week, and he would definitely return.

The week passed in the blink of an eye.

Even though Ji Wei had spent these days feeling restless and anxious, she had managed to keep it all inside, afraid of worrying her grandma.

Early in the morning, Ji Wei opened her eyes and immediately grabbed her phone.

Still, there was no message from Mo Qian.

A week had passed already. Was he not planning to return?

Ji Wei stared blankly at her phone, and suddenly, a thought emerged: Maybe Mo Qian wanted to surprise her and had quietly returned. Perhaps he was waiting for her at Shanshui Manor right now!

"Uncle Zhao, could you please let Grandma know that I’ll be heading back to Shanshui Manor first? I’ll come to see her later."

Ji Wei hastily packed her belongings and hurried downstairs.

...

Aunt Zhu had taken leave to visit her hometown recently, leaving the villa unusually quiet.

Ji Wei pushed open the living room door and stepped inside, her expression eager as she scanned the surroundings. There was no sign of Mo Qian.

A faint disappointment appeared in her eyes, but she headed upstairs in hopes of finding him there.

What greeted her was still an empty room, even the arrangement unchanged since she had left a week ago. Ji Wei stared at the desolate room, the light in her eyes gradually dimming, replaced by fear and unease.

She steadied herself against the door frame, struggling to stand as the unease in her heart grew more intense than ever before.

Still clinging to a faint hope, she gathered her composure and searched through the study, kitchen, and bathroom one by one, but each result left her deeply disappointed.

No, Mo Qian hadn’t come back at all...

Ji Wei’s heart sank lower and lower, her face turning ghostly pale.

She thought back to when Mo Qian had gone to Japan—it had been the same situation. That time, she couldn’t reach him at all. To prevent her from going and putting herself in danger, he had even taken her passport.

Could this time be the same?

Had Mo Qian encountered danger in Britain, making it impossible for him to contact her or return on time?

Ji Wei stood alone in the dim living room, feeling a piercing chill spread through her limbs.

No, she had to go find him!

Just as she was about to move, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her, and the scene in front of her began to sway. Ji Wei struggled to reach behind her for the armrest of the sofa, trying to steady herself.

But before she could sit down, her vision abruptly went dark!

Just before she lost consciousness, Ji Wei saw a figure rushing toward her...
