Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 691: I Want to Pursue Her Openly and Honestly

Gu Moqian was originally speaking with a foreign businessman, but his gaze kept drifting intentionally or unintentionally toward Ji Wei.

The foreign businessman raised his glass to toast him. After clinking glasses, Gu Moqian downed the wine in one gulp, his expression indifferent, devoid of any extra emotion.

When he looked back, he realized that Ji Wei and Jin Qichuan were both gone.

Gu Moqian’s eyes darkened as he carefully searched the banquet hall.

Nothing, no trace of her...

His defined brows furrowed, his face giving away no discernible emotion.

"Mr. Gu, I’ve heard that you’re planning to expand into Britain. I believe we have great opportunities for collaboration..." Mr. Pitt from Britain said with a smile.

"Apologies, excuse me for a moment."

Gu Moqian responded without hesitation, then turned and walked away.

Zhao Wanqing noticed that his stride lacked its usual calm steadiness, and the corners of her lips curved into an intriguing smile.

Gu Moqian searched around and finally set his sights on the direction of the restroom.

From a distance, he saw a figure in white leaning against the corridor outside the restroom, head slightly lowered, smoking a cigarette.

It was Jin Qichuan.

Gu Moqian’s expression grew increasingly stormy, his brows seemingly laden with ice impossible to melt. He clenched his fists tightly and strode over with determined steps.

At that moment, Ji Wei walked out of the restroom.

The two were standing together, talking about something.

It was glaringly obvious that the relationship between Ji Wei and Jin Qichuan had surpassed the limits of Gu Moqian’s tolerance.

When Ji Wei saw Gu Moqian’s icy, chilling face, she froze momentarily. However, she didn’t stop walking, brushing past him, only for her wrist to be suddenly grabbed by the man.

The force was strong, causing Ji Wei to frown in pain.

She stared at Gu Moqian in astonishment.

Jin Qichuan suddenly stepped forward and stood protectively in front of Ji Wei. "Let her go." His expression was uncharacteristically stern.

"This is between me and my wife. It’s none of your business, outsider!" Gu Moqian’s cold eyes locked on Jin Qichuan, his jawline tightened to an extreme degree.

Ji Wei was taken aback when she heard the word "wife." She looked at him in confusion. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

The divorce papers had already been sent to her. What could this mean?

Jin Qichuan sneered, his lips curling into a mocking smile. "Mr. Gu’s wife attended this banquet with me. Doesn’t that say enough? If you can’t cherish her, let her go. Stop hindering Miss Ji’s happiness."

The two men in front of her were locked in an intense standoff, sparks practically flying, while Ji Wei’s thoughts were in turmoil, her mind momentarily unable to process everything.

Gu Moqian didn’t want to waste more words. He yanked Ji Wei and started walking away.

Jin Qichuan quickly caught up and blocked their path.

"Let her go. She doesn’t want to go with you!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Moqian’s other hand grabbed Jin Qichuan by the lapel. "I’m warning you, if you have any grievances, come at me—they have nothing to do with her."

"Mo Qian, let go of Mr. Jin..."

Ji Wei, seeing that the two were on the brink of a physical altercation, hurriedly spoke to stop them.

Without flinching, Jin Qichuan maintained his composure, a faint, cold smile tugging at his lips. "My feelings for Ji Wei aren’t about provoking you. I used to quietly care for her in my heart. But now I see that she’s not happy by your side. So I’ve changed my mind. I will pursue her openly—"

Before he could finish, Gu Moqian, overcome with fury, clenched his fist and delivered a punch straight to his face.

"Mr. Jin, are you alright?" Ji Wei broke free from Gu Moqian’s grip and anxiously asked.

Jin Qichuan tasted a faint metallic tang in his mouth. His tongue brushed against the inside of his cheek, the sharp pain causing his brow to furrow slightly. Seeing the worry reflected in Ji Wei’s beautiful eyes, he smiled and shook his head lightly. "I’m fine."
