Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 940: Who Gave You the Nerve to Lay a Hand on My Wife?
Ji Wei instantly understood why Yamamoto Yu was staring at the pocket watch.
He recognized it!
Her heart began to race, and she reflexively bent down to pick it up, but Yamamoto Yu was faster. He stepped on the pocket watch, "Don’t move."
Yamamoto Yu spoke, a hint of menace in his eyes.
Ji Wei shivered all over, wracking her brain to think of how to explain the presence of the pocket watch when Mo Qian and the castle owner, Ogilvy, came over. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Seeing Ji Wei’s belongings scattered on the ground, Mo Qian strode forward to help her up, a dark, icy look passing through his deep black eyes: "What happened? Why are my wife’s belongings thrown on the ground?"
Mo Qian spoke while looking at Yamamoto Yu and Miyata Ichiro, his authoritative tone causing their expressions to change.
"Mrs. Jin had contraband on her, and I was conducting a search according to protocol..." Miyata explained with a calm face, believing himself to be in the right.
Mo Qian let out a cold laugh, "What did you find?"
"Not yet." Miyata replied, "I only searched Mrs. Jin’s bag, but on her—"
Slap!
Mo Qian raised his hand and slapped Miyata hard, his voice cold and full of fury, "Who gave you the guts to lay a hand on my wife? Mr. Ogilvy, you just said that we are honored guests tonight, are we to receive such treatment? I don’t think there’s any need to continue the agreed cooperation."
Ogilvy’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, "Perhaps it’s just a misunderstanding, I’ll give you and your wife a satisfactory explanation."
"Hurry up and pick up Mrs. Jin’s belongings!" Ogilvy snapped at the bodyguard behind him.
The bodyguard was about to move forward but was stopped by Mo Qian.
"If someone should pick it up, shouldn’t it be him?" Mo Qian pointed to Miyata.
Miyata was dazed by the slap, suppressing the burning pain, and glared at Mo Qian, angry but unable to speak out.
Yamamoto Yu had no intention of resolving the issue for his subordinate. He slowly bent down, picked up the pocket watch from under his foot, and carefully wiped away the dust, treating it as lovingly as one would a cherished woman.
When Ji Wei saw him holding the pocket watch, her heart nearly leapt out of her chest.
She held Mo Qian’s hand tightly to restrain herself from showing any panic.
Yamamoto Yu’s fingers suddenly moved, ready to open the watch case.
Ji Wei’s heart was once again in her throat, tense as if standing at the edge of a cliff, ready to plunge into an abyss at any moment.
The pocket watch contained a photograph of her mother holding her as a baby. If Yamamoto Yu recognized it, both her and Mo Qian’s identities would be immediately exposed!
Her palms were clammy with sweat, something Mo Qian naturally sensed.
Just as Yamamoto Yu was about to open the watch case, Mo Qian suddenly reached out and snatched the pocket watch from his hand.
Because Mo Qian’s action was so unexpected, Yamamoto Yu had no time to react. Seeing his hand empty, he felt an inexplicable sense of loss.
"The pocket watch is my wife’s private possession, it’s not convenient for others to touch." Mo Qian said firmly, handing the pocket watch to Ji Wei.
Ji Wei quickly tucked it into her bag, finally letting out a quiet breath.
That was too close!
Yamamoto Yu paused, his expression gradually returning to normal, as he calmly ordered Miyata, "Apologize to Mrs. Jin."
Miyata looked at Yamamoto in surprise, taking quite a while before he reluctantly bowed to Ji Wei, "I’m sorry, madam."
Ji Wei looked at him coldly, pointing at her things on the ground, "If you’re going to apologize, shouldn’t you pick up all my things?"
Miyata maintained his bowed stance, his facial expressions twitching, his gaze malevolent as he stared at the floor.
He didn’t want to pick them up.
