Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 698: Do You Really Want to Throw Me Out?

"I can’t do it!"

How could he possibly want to let go of Ji Wei’s hand?

But dragging it out would only prolong the pain—better a sharp cut than prolonged suffering. He didn’t want to see her endure even greater agony later.

A stabbing pain shot through his chest. Beads of sweat gathered densely on Gu Moqian’s forehead. That familiar cramping sensation made his whole body tremble. Instinctively, he stepped back a few paces.

Gu Moqian bit his lip tightly and turned to leave.

Seeing his unsteady steps as he walked away, Jin Qichuan furrowed his brow and quickly strode forward, grabbing Gu Moqian’s wrist. "What are you running from...?"

Gu Moqian’s hand was trembling violently, and his cold, stern face had turned completely bloodless.

"What’s wrong with you?" Jin Qichuan asked in alarm.

Gu Moqian shoved his hand away roughly. "Stay out of it." His voice was suppressed and unusually hoarse. After saying this coldly, he didn’t turn back and kept walking forward.

Watching Gu Moqian’s hurried silhouette disappear into the night, a sudden thought struck Jin Qichuan.

Could this be the reason Gu Moqian pushed Ji Wei away?!

...

Inside the Bentley

The car had been driving for some time, yet Zhao Wanqing hadn’t shared the answer she’d promised Ji Wei earlier. Instead, she leaned back in the car seat, appearing to have fallen asleep.

Ji Wei was both angry and amused.

Was she seriously tricked by this woman?

She really wanted to throw her out of the car!

But seeing that they were on a deserted road with few people around, Ji Wei held back her impulse to do so.

As if sensing Ji Wei’s scrutinizing gaze, Zhao Wanqing suddenly opened her eyes upon shifting her posture, her lazy smile lighting her eyes.

"You’re thinking about throwing me out, aren’t you?" she said with a light laugh.

Ji Wei was startled.

This woman had actually guessed her thoughts...

Ji Wei stiffly turned her head to look ahead, her face tense as she kept silent.

Zhao Wanqing adjusted her posture slightly, sitting a bit straighter as she looked at Ji Wei. Suddenly, she spoke in an unusually serious tone. "Ji Wei, be honest—do you believe Mr. Gu still loves you?"

Ji Wei hadn’t expected such a blunt question and turned to stare at Zhao Wanqing in shock.

"If you’ve always believed it in your heart, don’t doubt it. A man’s sincere feelings can’t be seen with the eyes—they’re meant to be heard with the heart."

Ji Wei’s mind whirled in turmoil, unable to process what she’d just heard. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

This mistress—was she serious?

Telling the wife to believe in her husband’s love, all the while knowing he’s been sleeping with someone else...

Seeing Ji Wei’s stunned face, Zhao Wanqing smiled brightly. "Oh, what I just said was actually a line from my new book. You didn’t know, did you? I’m somewhat of a well-known novelist."

A line from her novel?

Why was Zhao Wanqing suddenly quoting such words to her?

Secretary, novelist, Gu Moqian’s lover... The mysteries surrounding Zhao Wanqing seemed endless, making Ji Wei’s mind feel entirely overloaded.

"Don’t believe me?" Seeing Ji Wei’s dumbfounded expression, Zhao Wanqing quickly pulled a book from her handbag and then retrieved a pen. She scribbled her name on the first page of the book, then handed it over. "Here’s my latest novel—I’m giving you a copy."

Ji Wei glanced at the cover. The title read, *More Than Just Heartstrings*.

She didn’t reach out to take it.

Zhao Wanqing casually placed the book into the storage compartment between the car seats. Then she leaned back against the seat and closed her eyes again.

A moment later, her calm voice broke the silence: "Tomorrow, Mr. Gu and I are flying back to Britain. Will you come see us off?"

Ji Wei turned her head to look at the woman, who still had her eyes closed. A flicker of uncertainty passed through her bright gaze.

Did she even have the right to go see them off?

The divorce papers were still sitting in the drawer at home, waiting for her signature...
