Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 680 Can We Not Separate, Please?
Ji Wei felt a pair of strong arms enveloping her, firm and powerful, the scent of a familiar masculinity filling her senses.
In this moment, as she was shielded by the man, Ji Wei’s nose suddenly stung, and she wanted to cry.
She thought it was over between them, but Gu Moqian’s earlier words, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here," pieced together the shards of hope buried in her heart.
Could there still be a chance?
Could they ever go back to how things were?
Ji Wei’s slender hands tightly gripped the fabric of the man’s shirt at his chest. In the darkness, she tilted her head upward, trying to see him clearly.
The woman quietly rested against Gu Moqian, her uneasy trembling slowly subsiding. He switched to holding her with one arm, while his other hand retrieved his phone from his pocket.
The sudden illumination of the phone screen lit up the darkness like a tiny flame.
The pale light outlined the man’s cold and distant features. "Stand firm," his indifferent voice commanded as the grip around her waist abruptly loosened.
Before Ji Wei could steady herself, she cried out in pain.
She had twisted her ankle when she threw herself forward earlier, and now the movement brought a sharp ache.
"What is it?" The man’s voice sounded again.
"My ankle is twisted," Ji Wei said weakly, her face pale.
Gu Moqian furrowed his brows slightly and crouched down with his phone to examine her ankle.
Ji Wei looked down. Under the glow of the phone screen, his distinctly jointed fingers gently pressed against her slender ankle. He spoke in a low tone, "Here?"
At the touch of his cool fingertips, an inexplicable tremor ran through Ji Wei’s heart. She softly responded, "Mm."
The woman’s ankle showed no signs of swelling; the injury didn’t seem severe.
He let out a quiet breath of relief and slowly stood up. Then, he walked over to the elevator controls and pressed the emergency alarm button.
The alarm was unresponsive, likely due to the power outage.
Gu Moqian dialed a call on his phone.
Ji Wei’s gaze stayed fixed on him. She saw him bring the phone to his ear, seemingly speaking to the hotel’s staff. His pace of speech was moderate, steady, and neutral, without any hint of panic.
This man, even in the face of adversity, could maintain his usual dignity and composure.
He was like the brightest star in the night sky, cold and noble, making it impossible to look away.
Ji Wei stared in a daze. Even if they could start over, she would still be drawn to Gu Moqian’s charm, loving him deeply.
She truly loved him, loved him beyond measure...
A sudden surge of emotion overwhelmed Ji Wei, making her forget the pain in her ankle. She lunged toward him.
Ji Wei wrapped her arms tightly around Gu Moqian from behind, her voice choked with emotion as she said, "Mo Qian, can we not part? I can’t bear to lose you..."
Her eyes grew wet, tears soaking into the fabric of his back. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
The force of her movement caused Gu Moqian’s frame to sway slightly. He stood there in silence, his deep eyes turbulent with emotion.
A few seconds later, he reached out and gently pried Ji Wei’s hands off his waist one by one, then spoke: "Ji Wei, you’re delusional."
His voice was icy. After freeing himself from her grip, he turned to face her, his chilling gaze fixed firmly on her.
The light of the phone screen suddenly dimmed, plunging them back into darkness.
Ji Wei’s heart gave a jolt, and she instinctively reached out to grab the man’s sleeve, only for him to coldly evade her touch.
"I only held you earlier out of courtesy. If it were anyone else, I would have done the same. So don’t delude yourself." His voice carried a biting indifference.
Ji Wei refused to believe his words.
"Liar! If you didn’t care about me at all, why did you check if I was hurt? Why did you tell me not to be afraid, that you’re here? You clearly still love me! You love me!"
Ji Wei shouted, her chest heaving. Her heavy breaths sounded distinctly loud in the confined elevator space.
