Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 823: How Dare You Lay a Hand on My Woman

Ji Wei’s thoughts were in disarray, and she didn’t notice the man’s movements. By the time she snapped back to reality, she instinctively took a step back in vigilance: "What do you want to do?"

William’s blue-green eyes looked at her quietly, moving closer and closer. Ji Wei’s back pressed directly against the bookshelf behind her, and she frowned slightly in pain: "I warn you, don’t try anything funny with me!"

After saying that, she reached out, trying to push the man away.

William stood in front of her like a wall with an overwhelming height advantage, utterly unmoving.

"Miss Ji, don’t you know—" William began, but his words were cut off when the study door was suddenly kicked open forcefully!

Bam!

The loud noise echoed in the study, startling both of them to turn their heads simultaneously.

Gu Moqian appeared at the doorway with a gloomy expression, his eyes like they were from hell, fixed intently on William. He strode forward, abruptly pulling Ji Wei behind him to protect her tightly.

Ji Wei looked at the suddenly appearing Gu Moqian, incredibly surprised. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

How did he manage to find this place?

"You think you can lay a hand on my woman just because you rely on the Charles family’s status, and I really won’t dare to touch you?" Gu Moqian’s voice was icy cold like frost, his brows and eyes indifferent, his entire being exuding an imposing aura of danger.

Even Ji Wei could feel that Gu Moqian was truly angry. He was usually gentle and considerate towards her, but once he got seriously angry, he became a fearsome and intimidating presence.

"Mr. Gu, you’ve misunderstood. I just wanted to ask your wife a question. It’s not what you think." William explained in his not-so-fluent Mandarin.

Gu Moqian chuckled coldly: "Since Mr. William already has a girlfriend, he should keep inappropriate thoughts at bay. Don’t eat from the bowl while eyeing the pot. Although your influence in Britain is significant, right now you’re in Rongcheng. You should weigh your own position clearly."

William quickly shook his head: "I understand what you mean. I do like Mrs. Gu, but I would never take away someone else’s love. I just wanted to inquire about something from her..."

Gu Moqian showed no interest in his flimsy excuse. Embracing Ji Wei, he took her and left.

"Mr. William, I retract the previous cooperation agreement. I will never have any dealings with a man who harbors fantasies about my woman."

Ji Wei looked somewhat astonished at the two of them.

Were they planning to cooperate before?

How did Gu Moqian come to know William?

Before Ji Wei could figure it out, she was already being led away by Gu Moqian.

Watching them leave, William scratched his head in frustration.

Once outside, Gu Moqian called Chen Ke and instructed him to arrange for someone to monitor William secretly.

William and Ji Shanshan got along well, and there’s a good chance Ji Shanshan might ally with him.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Moqian didn’t speak again. Both remained silent until they got in the car.

Ji Wei vaguely sensed that he was truly angry.

Was he blaming her for coming alone and lying to him?

Ji Wei watched the man beside her start the car in silence, then, lips slightly dry, she took the initiative to speak: "Mo Qian, I know I was wrong to lie to you. I understand your anger. But at that time, the situation was urgent. I received a call threatening that I must come alone, otherwise they would harm the child... I couldn’t gamble with a child’s life, even now, I don’t regret what I did."

Ji Wei spoke out what she wanted to say, but Gu Moqian still remained with a cold face, looking sternly ahead as he drove, unmoved.
