Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 739: Did you... meet with someone today?

Soon, the buzzing sound of the hair dryer echoed in the air.

Ji Wei sat there, letting the man dry her hair. Mo Qian’s slender fingers ran through her soft locks, his expression gentle yet unusually serious.

It wasn’t the first time Mo Qian had dried her hair, but Ji Wei’s heart still fluttered uncontrollably, as if something was filling it to the brim.

When the hair dryer was turned off, the bedroom instantly fell silent.

Ji Wei instinctively stood up. As her gaze lifted, it collided straight into Mo Qian’s deep and dark eyes.

Her heart inexplicably flustered, she hurriedly turned to pull the covers. "I... I’m going to sleep now."

The moment her words fell, her waist was suddenly gripped tightly. Looking down, she noticed the man’s hand holding onto her firmly. As Mo Qian’s arm wrapped around her waist, Ji Wei stiffened, and the corner of the blanket she had been clutching slipped from her fingers.

Mo Qian’s chiselled face slowly leaned towards her, his lips brushing softly by her delicate, fair ear. In a low and husky voice, he murmured, "You waited for me to return. Is there something you wanted to talk about?"

Ji Wei’s mind flashed to the words Ji Shanshan had said over the phone. She hesitated slightly before responding in a light tone, "I wanted to ask if you knew about Ji Shanshan coming back."

Mo Qian’s gaze darkened slightly. He immediately turned her body toward him, locking eyes with her. "Ji Shanshan contacted you?"

Ji Wei didn’t intend to deny it. "She just called me a moment ago."

Mo Qian’s pitch-black eyes narrowed instantly, a dangerous aura surging within them.

It seemed he needed to make Ji Shanshan clearly understand her position!

"What did she say?"

The thought that Ji Wei’s car accident could have been orchestrated by Ji Shanshan robbed Mo Qian of his calm composure.

Over the past few days, the people monitoring Ji Shanshan had been providing daily reports, yet there wasn’t anything particularly significant among them.

"Nothing much, just some sour and sniping remarks." Ji Wei brushed off their argument lightly.

But Mo Qian knew better. For two people to have fallen from being close sisters to enemies, even a single phone call would feel jarring.

"Leave Ji Shanshan to me. Don’t worry, she won’t dare bother you again." A flicker of cold determination appeared between Mo Qian’s brows.

Ji Wei was well aware of Mo Qian’s capabilities and methods.

She hadn’t shared this matter with him to ask for his intervention, but hearing his words still left her feeling touched.

Mo Qian had always shielded her from harm in the past, and he was still the same now.

"You... did you meet someone today?" Ji Wei remembered Aunt Zhu’s comment earlier in the morning and hesitated briefly before voicing her question.

Mo Qian took her soft little hand into his palm, lowering his gaze to her as the chilly sharpness in his expression melted away, replaced with a tender calmness.

In a soft voice, he replied, "I met an old friend, someone you know."

"Who?" Ji Wei looked at him, blurting out the question.

"Ye Cheng is back. I went to the airport this morning with Old Xi to pick him up. This evening, we had a get-together, so I came home a bit late." Mo Qian explained his day’s agenda meticulously.

Ji Wei’s mouth opened slightly in surprise.

Xia Duoduo had mentioned earlier that Ye Cheng had been out of contact for two months, but he was back now?

Seeing Ji Wei’s astonishment, Mo Qian gently rubbed the back of her hand with his slender fingers, continuing with warm patience, "Old Ye came back with Boss Zi. Once you’ve recovered a bit more, I’ll take you to meet them."
