Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 850: Mr. Gu Has Come Home

William felt a deep sense of discomfort as he slipped the envelope back into his suit pocket and drove the car away.

He would do as Ji Wei said and not appear again.

...

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

There was still no news of Gu Moqian. Everyone was hesitant to mention his name in front of Ji Wei. Xia Duoduo visited her a few times, but even in front of her close friend, Ji Wei was like a soulless puppet, speaking very little.

Seeing this, Xia Duoduo felt an ache in her heart yet was powerless, hoping that the heavens wouldn’t be so cruel to those in love, wishing for the day Mr. Gu would return.

An An’s birthday was celebrated at the Ji Family.

After being discharged from the hospital, Old Madam Ji had been recuperating at the Ji Family. Given Ji Wei’s current state, the person she was most concerned about was her little great-grandson.

An An was already able to walk on his own, occasionally blurting out a few new words. While eating his birthday cake, the little guy was so happy that he took a big bite out of the cake, with his mouth full, looking like an adorable little kitten.

Everyone in the room was amused by the adorable child.

Only Ji Wei remained expressionless, as if nothing in this world could stir her emotions anymore.

Not even her own son could.

In the midst of the joyful birthday celebration for An An, Ji Wei’s phone suddenly rang.

She glanced at the caller ID — it was Aunt Zhu calling.

Ji Wei stepped out of the living room to the fountain outside to take the call.

Aunt Zhu’s voice came through with unusual excitement: "Ma’am, hurry back to Shanshui Manor! Mr. Gu has returned, he’s come back alive!"

...

At this time in Shanshui Manor.

Aunt Zhu welcomed Gu Moqian and the young girl who came back with him into the living room.

"Mr. Gu, you’re finally back! Where have you been all this time? Ma’am would go to the seaside every day waiting for you, hoping for your return every moment... now things are finally good."

Aunt Zhu spoke, wiping her tears joyfully.

However, the tall and upright man in front of her remained expressionless, his deep black eyes scanning the surroundings with a hint of vigilance and detachment.

In her excitement, Aunt Zhu didn’t notice Gu Moqian’s unusual demeanor. Seeing the young girl still standing there, she quickly invited her: "Miss, please have a seat. I’ll make some tea for you!"

Aunt Zhu soon returned with the tea, "I’ve already informed Ma’am, she’s on her way back. By the way, Miss, how should I address you?"

The girl, dressed simply in a sweater and jeans, her hair tied in a ponytail, smiled faintly at Aunt Zhu: "I’m Song Yan."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Song," Aunt Zhu said with a smile.

Upon receiving the call, Ji Wei hurried back without delay. She drove the car herself and almost ran into the living room as soon as she parked.

When she saw that familiar back, Ji Wei suddenly stopped in her tracks, almost doubting that she was dreaming.

She stood there, her eyes welling up with tears. These days and nights had been a torment for her, filled with longing, and at this moment, as Gu Moqian finally returned, she found it hard to believe, fearing that it was all just a beautiful fantasy.

Her eyes brimming with warmth, she walked towards him step by step, reaching out from behind to embrace Gu Moqian tightly.

"Mo Qian, it’s you... it’s really you, you’ve come back, I missed you, I really missed you..."

Ji Wei’s face pressed closely against the man’s handsome, stern features, her tears dampening his face as well.

Compared to Ji Wei’s excitement, Gu Moqian remained particularly calm.
