Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 689: Four People Meeting Up, It’s Practically Like a Chaotic Scene

Ji Wei froze for a moment but was already being led inside by the man.

Not far away, Mo Qian, dressed sharply in a black suit with his hands casually tucked into his pockets, paused abruptly when he caught sight of a fleeting silhouette of a woman ahead. His deep, dark eyes turned inscrutable.

Was it just his imagination?

He thought he saw Ji Wei’s figure...

"Mr. Gu?" Zhao Wanqing, following closely behind him, asked curiously upon seeing him suddenly halt.

Mo Qian withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhao Wanqing with an emotionless expression. He spoke lightly, "Once we go inside, you’re my female companion, not my secretary."

Zhao Wanqing laughed softly and blinked playfully, "Starting up your role-playing again?"

Mo Qian’s eyes turned cold, silent as water, and he strode ahead without a word.

...

The banquet hall was filled with glamorous guests, a mingling of perfume and luxury, glasses clinking endlessly, and the elite of Rongcheng all in attendance, the atmosphere vibrant and lively.

Apparently, this was Rongcheng’s annual business gala. After the last gunshot-related incident aboard a cruise ship, this year’s event was specially held in a hotel with heightened security measures.

No wonder the reception staff at the entrance had been so strict earlier.

When Ji Wei entered the venue alongside Jin Qichuan, the guests’ eyes widened in shock.

What was happening?

Mr. Gu’s wife had arrived together with another man!

Did this confirm the divorce rumors?

And then they took a closer look at Ji Wei’s outfit tonight—it left many completely stunned.

She was wearing a striking fiery-red spaghetti-strap mini dress. The design around her waist showcased her alluring curves perfectly, while the low neckline revealed an elegant collarbone. Her long, snow-white legs, paired with red heels, were captivating. She looked radiant, like a born seductress, dazzling and glamorous.

Nobody had anticipated that Ji Wei’s first public appearance after giving birth would be so spectacular—she looked even more feminine than before her pregnancy!

Ji Wei wasn’t overly surprised to notice all the stares directed at her. However, noticing that Jin Qichuan was still holding her wrist—not tightly, yet enough to make her feel uncomfortable—she quickly withdrew her hand and politely thanked him, "Mr. Jin, thank you for intervening earlier. Please feel free to go about your business. I’ll just find a place to sit for now."

Suddenly feeling the emptiness in his palm, Jin Qichuan’s gaze flickered with a touch of disappointment. "Alright, I’ll come find you later," he replied.

Ji Wei nodded politely to him before turning away.

She had only taken a couple of steps when, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar man’s figure. Her entire body froze instantly.

Mo Qian entered the hall with his usual grace and composure, accompanied by a stunning woman. His hand rested lightly on the woman’s lower back, gentlemanly and proper, as the two walked boldly into the banquet hall.

The instant this scene unfolded, the gossip-hungry crowd erupted internally.

The air was thick with the scent of juicy drama.

Interesting—this estranged couple had shown up with separate partners at the same banquet. The situation was just screaming for a chaotic scene!

Ji Wei’s gaze remained fixed on the pair, their appearance cutting into her heart like a blade.

Mo Qian must truly adore Zhao Wanqing. In a setting as important as this, he didn’t hesitate to bring her along.

Was he proclaiming to the world that Zhao Wanqing was his new love—that Ji Wei’s name no longer held any significance?

Her nails unknowingly dug into her palms as she watched the duo get closer and closer, a wave of moisture pooling in her eyes.

From the moment Mo Qian appeared, Jin Qichuan had instinctively turned to observe Ji Wei’s reaction.

Recalling the divorce rumors causing such a stir lately, a complicated feeling swelled in his heart. Shameful as it was, there was a small part of him that felt a hint of hope... Hope that Ji Wei would become single again.

He noticed her delicate frame standing there, her shoulders seemingly trembling slightly. His gaze darkened and he strode quickly to her side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Ji Wei, are you alright?" Jin Qichuan asked with concern.

"I’m fine," Ji Wei said as she fought back the urge to cry, forcing a smile in his direction.

This smile, however, was strikingly harsh to Mo Qian’s eyes.

The hand at his side clenched tightly, making audible creaks, causing even Zhao Wanqing to sense the dangerous aura of anger radiating from him.
