Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 855: You’re My Husband, You Sleep with Me Every Night
Ji Wei took off her coat, and clad only in lingerie, she slipped under the covers, wrapping herself tightly.
As time ticked away, Ji Wei lay there nervously clutching the corner of the quilt. Though it was early winter, her palms were surprisingly damp with sweat.
Clang—
Hearing the bathroom door open, Ji Wei reflexively closed her eyes.
Gu Moqian came out wearing a black bathrobe, the collar open, revealing his honey-colored skin. His black short hair was still wet and dripping.
Only the bedside lamp was lit, casting light on his indifferent glance at the figure wrapped in the covers on the bed. He then walked straight towards the sofa.
Lying on the bed, Ji Wei initially felt her heart race at the sound of the man’s footsteps, gripping the quilt ever tighter. However, after a moment, Gu Moqian seemed still.
He didn’t come towards her.
Ji Wei couldn’t hide her sense of defeat and disappointment. She secretly propped up her upper body, scanning the room. Only then did she see Gu Moqian turn on the floor lamp beside the sofa, leaning there, fiddling with his phone.
No doubt, he was checking his emails with his phone.
For the first time, Ji Wei found Gu Moqian’s workaholic nature to be utterly annoying.
A little stifled, she bit her lower lip and made up her mind: tonight, she would use every ounce of effort; she didn’t believe she couldn’t get through to him!
So as not to miss the chance and regret it later, Ji Wei swiftly threw off the quilt. As her bare skin met the air, she shivered immediately from the cold.
She slipped on her slippers and quickly approached the man on the sofa, afraid that any hesitation would make her back down.
Gu Moqian was focused on his phone, completely unaware of her movements until a pair of lotus-white arms wrapped around his arm, making him finally react.
Ji Wei’s breath was like orchids, her tender voice ringing in Gu Moqian’s ear, "I know you don’t remember, but you’re my husband. You sleep with me every night. If you don’t come to bed, I can’t fall asleep..."
Seeing her clad in gauzy lingerie, enfolding herself around him, with a blush appearing on her charming face, it was clear this wasn’t something she’s used to doing.
Gu Moqian’s brows furrowed slightly, quietly observing her, unmoved.
He was just like Liu Xiahui, remaining unmoved even in such a situation.
Clearly possessing a beastly heart beneath a gentleman’s facade, yet he behaved with such restrained aloofness. Ji Wei couldn’t believe she wouldn’t be able to conquer him!
"Mo Qian..." She softened her voice even further, turning her face to him, taking the initiative to kiss his lips.
Gu Moqian suddenly reached out, showing no tenderness as he pressed her face away and immediately stood up.
"It seems tonight is not suitable to stay here. I’m going to sleep in the guest room," he said, striding towards the door.
Ji Wei looked baffled.
In the past, he coaxed and persuaded her to wear lingerie for him, but now, when she wore it and approached him, he ruthlessly pushed her away!
Is this the difference between love and lack of love?
The Gu Moqian who hadn’t fallen in love with her was indeed a proper gentleman who kept everyone at a distance!
Ji Wei was utterly deflated, but she didn’t give up. As Gu Moqian’s hand touched the doorknob, she dashed over to block his way again.
"We are still husband and wife. You want to sleep in separate rooms from me now?"
Gu Moqian looked at her coldly, "I don’t remember you."
Ji Wei was infuriated by his words. She nodded emphatically, "Do I need to show you proof before you’ll believe me? Come with me!"
