Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 651: Must Send You Back to the Country Today
"Mo Qian..."
Ji Wei was still shouting, her voice sounding fragile and distant in the night.
The black sedan indifferently sped away from the manor, disappearing into the depths of the night.
Ji Wei’s bloodshot eyes stared at the increasingly distant taillights. The cool night breeze, mixed with drizzle, struck her face, yet she remained oblivious.
Her hands and feet were already numb from the cold, her jet-black hair veiled with a layer of mist from the rain, and the shoulders of her coat were soaked through.
She didn’t know how much time had passed before she slowly moved her fingers. Her nearly frozen fingers struggled to clench. She raised her trembling hand, and low sobs escaped through her fingers, unbearably sorrowful in the chill of the night...
Even in her weeping, Ji Wei stifled her cries. She feared that the baby in her belly would sense her sadness and feel it too.
Every breath seemed to stab pain into her chest, leaving her unable to catch her breath.
After a long while, Ji Wei pressed her hand to her chest and slowly turned, stepping back into the bedroom.
The indoor heating hit her face, but Ji Wei felt both chilled to the bone and overheated, an unbearable sensation. Suppressing the wave of nausea, she walked to the side of the bed and picked up her phone.
Beep beep...
The phone emitted a warning sound, signaling low battery.
With her pale fingers trembling, Ji Wei hurriedly unlocked the screen. She wanted to find Gu Moqian’s number and call him, but before she could press the dial button, the screen went dark.
Ji Wei froze in place, an overwhelming despair suddenly engulfing her. Her body could no longer hold her up, and she collapsed beside the bed.
...
That night felt endless to Ji Wei. When she opened her eyes, she found that daylight had already arrived.
Her eyes were sore and painful. Without looking, she knew they were badly swollen.
Dizzy and unsteady, Ji Wei nearly collapsed back onto the bed as she tried to stand. Raising her hand to touch her forehead, she found it burning hot.
She had developed a fever.
No wonder her body felt so weak.
Leaning against the headboard, Ji Wei steadied herself for a moment before forcing herself to get out of bed and wash up and dress.
She couldn’t afford to collapse; there was still so much she needed to do.
The gunfire from last night was no accident, and Gu Moqian’s sudden departure made her deeply anxious. She had to find a way to reach him—she couldn’t let him face danger alone!
Ji Wei, her steps shaky, walked out of her bedroom. Her splitting headache made her complexion look even worse. When she reached the staircase, she had to grip the railing and move forward slowly.
The elderly butler saw Ji Wei cautiously holding the railing, struggling with each step as she descended, and quickly called for the maids to assist her.
"Young Madam, breakfast has been prepared for you," the butler said warmly as Ji Wei made her way down.
She nodded slightly, her voice weak. "Thank you."
The butler, noticing that her complexion was off, asked with concern, "Young Madam, are you unwell? Should I call for a doctor?"
Ji Wei shook her head slowly. "No need. I need to head out after breakfast."
Hearing this, the butler froze momentarily, hesitating on whether he should immediately inform Ji Wei of the arrangements to send her back to the country.
"Is there something you wish to tell me?" Ji Wei noticed the butler’s hesitation and asked directly.
"Well... The Young Master instructed that you must return to the country today."
Upon hearing this, Ji Wei did not seem particularly surprised. She had already guessed what Gu Moqian was planning.
He wanted to push her far away, to confront the danger alone. Likely, his abrupt decision to divorce her earlier was also to avoid pulling her into the peril.
Gu Moqian had his concerns, but she had her own rights to choose as well.
A faint smile curved Ji Wei’s lips as she replied in a calm voice, "I’m staying here. I won’t go anywhere."
