Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 57 I Like You When You’re Shy

Mo Qian didn’t answer; instead, he pulled her tightly into his arms, his chin resting against the soft crown of her head.

"No matter who this person is, I won’t let them go. Anyone who dares to hurt you—I won’t allow it, not even myself, let alone someone insignificant."

Ji Wei pressed her cheek against his chest, listening to the strong, steady rhythm of his heartbeat. It brought her a sense of peace she’d never felt before.

After quietly holding him for a long moment, Ji Wei suddenly lifted her head and asked, "Aren’t you going to work today?"

"You’re the most important,"

Mo Qian replied.

"Honestly, I’m fine now. It’s just a small wound on my arm. You must have so much to handle at the company. You really don’t need to stay with me on purpose."

Mo Qian looked at her without answering.

Ji Wei spoke again, "Sister-in-law Zhang is here at home. You can rest assured. Besides, I’m not that fragile."

After a moment of silence, Mo Qian finally nodded and agreed, "Alright. Call me anytime if anything comes up. I’ve already brought your phone back for you."

He gestured toward the bedside table.

"Alright. I’ll wait for you to come home after work,"

Ji Wei said with a smile. Then, she stood on tiptoe and gently kissed his thin lips.

Mo Qian froze briefly, and just as Ji Wei was about to pull away, he abruptly reached out, held the back of her head, and deepened the kiss.

Their kiss grew intense, so much so that Ji Wei felt the air in her chest being gradually stolen away, leaving her nearly breathless.

Thankfully, Mo Qian let go of her lips.

He gazed at her flushed cheeks and couldn’t help but gently tap her forehead. "Why weren’t you breathing just now?"

"I... I got nervous and forgot..."

Ji Wei murmured before shyly turning her gaze away.

A faint smile surfaced in Mo Qian’s eyes. Suddenly, he leaned closer, his deep, magnetic voice sounding by her ear. "I love it when you’re shy."

As he spoke, his breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe, making her feel as though even the tips of her ears were burning. Her heart began to race uncontrollably.

"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore,"

Mo Qian chuckled softly at her increasingly flushed face. He raised his hand to gently ruffle her hair, his tone filled with fondness. "Stay home and rest. Wait for me to come back, okay?"

"Okay,"

she replied.

...

After Mo Qian left, Ji Wei fell asleep again.

Following lunch, she no longer felt sleepy. Not wanting to stay cooped up in the bedroom, she asked Sister-in-law Zhang to move a recliner into the garden, where she could lie in the shade of the trees and enjoy the sunlight.

Ji Wei rarely had such tranquil moments to herself, doing absolutely nothing. She gazed at the lazy, drifting white clouds in the sky, feeling as though time had slowed to a crawl.

"Meow..."

A sudden meow came from the bushes behind her.

The next moment, a small white figure leapt out and crouched by her feet.

It turned out to be a snow-white kitten.

The kitten rubbed itself against the fabric of her pants, then curled up in a comfortable position and began to nap.

Ji Wei couldn’t help but feel her heart soften as she watched the little creature, which seemed so attached to her.

She bent down and reached out, gently stroking the kitten’s soft, smooth fur along its back.

The kitten let out a contented "meow,"

causing Ji Wei to let out a small laugh.

The kitten stayed by her side, refusing to leave, and Ji Wei didn’t have the heart to shoo it away, so she let it remain.

Meanwhile, in the Gu Group’s president’s office...

Mo Qian was buried in his work, handling the tasks at hand when Chen Ke suddenly pushed the door open and entered.

"Mr. Gu, we’ve found the person you instructed us to investigate. They’re currently at the club."

Mo Qian, holding a pen, swiftly signed his name before closing the folder and lifting his head. "Good. Get ready; we’re heading out immediately."

"Understood,"

Chen Ke replied.
