Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 681: Be a Secret Lover by My Side

Gu Moqian was struck where it hurt, his expression growing colder. Just as he was about to speak, the phone in his hand vibrated again.

The call he made earlier was returned, and he was informed that the rescue team was rushing over.

Gu Moqian responded with a curt "Got it," and ended the call.

"Why won’t you admit it? Mo Qian, you haven’t had a change of heart, and you don’t love that Zhao Wanqing at all, do you? Is there some kind of reason you can’t share? Tell me! No matter what it is, I’m willing to stand by you. I won’t let go!"

Receiving no answer, Ji Wei continued.

On closer thought, Gu Moqian’s behavior had been unusual in several ways.

He’d repeatedly said he wanted to divorce her, and yet, when she was drunk, he would still show up to ensure she got home safely. When she was scared, he would hold her in his arms to comfort her. And when she was hurt, he would check her wounds.

If this was supposed to be falling out of love, it seemed far too careless!

But there was just one thing—his ambiguous relationship with Zhao Wanqing... His intimate actions with another woman, that had indeed hurt her deeply.

Faced with Ji Wei’s relentless questioning, Gu Moqian’s expression grew darker still. Suddenly, he reached out, pulling her forcefully into his embrace. His fingertip brushed against her soft lips in the darkness, gently stroking.

"You want to stay by my side? No matter what I do, you can tolerate it?" The man’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his tone foreign and unfamiliar.

Ji Wei stared at him, stunned. Slowly, she nodded, "I’m willing."

"Even if you had to watch me do the most intimate things with another woman, could you endure that too?"

Gu Moqian leaned closer to her ear, his warm breath grazing her sensitive earlobe, tingling and numbing. His voice was low and gentle, as if whispering the sweetest love words.

Yet the meaning behind his words made Ji Wei’s heart palpitate with fear.

"What do you mean?" Ji Wei asked in a trembling voice.

"I mean, if you want to stay by my side as a mistress in the shadows, it’s not impossible. When Wanqing isn’t available during those certain days, maybe you could take her place and—"

Slap!

A crisp, resounding slap shattered the tension in the darkness.

Ji Wei’s hand froze mid-air, her fury erupting uncontrollably. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.

She could never have imagined that such degrading words could come out of Gu Moqian’s mouth.

How could he have become this malicious?

How did it come to this!

Ji Wei suddenly felt the man before her had become an unfamiliar, frightening stranger. She struggled against him, stepping back.

Pain shot through her ankle, so intense it almost brought tears to her eyes.

She leaned against the now-shut elevator doors, glaring hatefully at the man shrouded in darkness.

The slap she had delivered with all her strength had left her hand trembling with a stinging pain that wouldn’t subside. Ji Wei slowly curled her fingers into a fist, as if trying to crush her fingertips. Each breath she took felt suffocating. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The phone in Gu Moqian’s hands lit up once more.

Indifferent to the red handprint on his face, he noticed the woman leaning dangerously close to the elevator doors. His gaze shifted.

If the elevator hadn’t aligned properly with the floor and the doors were to suddenly open, Ji Wei, leaning against them, could easily fall into the shaft dozens of stories deep.

Gu Moqian took a sudden step forward, forcefully grabbing her wrist and yanking her away.

His voice was harsh as he warned, "If you don’t want to die, stop leaning against the door."

Ji Wei struggled with all her might, letting out a cold laugh, "Wouldn’t it be better if I died? You wouldn’t need a divorce anymore to regain your freedom. You could marry whoever you wanted. Someone of your stature and influence—there must be countless women queued up just waiting to sleep with you. How wonderful... Ah!"

Before she finished speaking, Ji Wei was shoved violently against the opposite wall of the elevator, prompting her to gasp in pain.

He gripped her shoulders, his tone icy-cold as he said, "If you want to die, at least don’t do it in front of me. Blood is unlucky."
