Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 879: Threat or Coercion?
"Indeed, it’s so convenient to eat noodles with chopsticks!" The little woman had her cheeks puffed out, her eyebrows dancing, and a satisfied look on her face.
Before long, Ji Wei had finished the spaghetti completely, and when she looked up, she found that the man across from her hadn’t even touched his knife and fork.
Only then did Ji Wei suddenly remember that Gu Moqian had never been fond of seafood; he used to peel shrimp for her, and most importantly, he was allergic to crab.
Just now, when ordering, she had actually forgotten about this!
"Mo Qian, how about I order you something else?" Ji Wei said, feeling guilty.
"I’m not hungry."
The man returned her with three light words, then reached out to swap his plate with hers, "You keep eating."
Uh...
Although finishing two servings of spaghetti wasn’t a problem, was it really okay to eat his share?
As Ji Wei was hesitating, she suddenly noticed that Gu Moqian’s gaze grew intense, staring somewhere behind her, with a faintly alert aura surrounding him.
What was happening?
Ji Wei turned back in confusion and only then noticed that more than half of the people in the restaurant had unintentionally left, making the place incredibly quiet.
A group of uniformed black-suited bodyguards silently entered, standing on either side, and then a middle-aged man in a tailored suit appeared, surrounded, exuding a powerful presence.
Even though he was middle-aged, his features still revealed handsomeness, surely a heartthrob to many young girls in his youth. Ji Wei saw a trace of familiar resemblance in his face.
It was very similar to the image she had seen countless times in the mirror.
At this moment, the middle-aged man stopped less than two meters away from her, his deep black eyes fixed on her, his gaze complicated yet unable to hide a hint of emotional excitement.
Among the bodyguards, there were two who had recently stopped them at the hotel.
Ji Wei’s heart skipped a beat, instantly guessing the man’s identity.
This was the esteemed Minister that the bodyguards mentioned!
Her chopsticks clattered to the floor.
Gu Moqian said he would meet her personally, and sure enough, he truly came!
After a silent moment, the middle-aged man approached Ji Wei, his lips moving slowly, his voice deep and thick with a hint of choked emotion: "Do you... know who I am?"
Ji Wei’s heart felt as if it had been heavily struck, her face turned nearly pale, her lips moved as she tried to speak, but she couldn’t manage a single word despite several attempts.
Her body was even trembling slightly.
Afraid to face him, not knowing how to handle... this man who appeared suddenly without warning, leaving her completely at a loss, she even felt a fleeting urge to escape!
Seeing the woman’s struggle and distress, Gu Moqian quickly walked over, gently patting her shoulder and positioning himself in front of her, his expression cool and pressing as he looked directly at the middle-aged man.
"Coming here with such pomp, what do you want to say to her? Are you threatening or forcing her?" Gu Moqian questioned coldly.
The middle-aged man was somewhat taken aback.
Due to his special status, he had no choice but to take security measures, especially in areas where terrorist attacks were frequent; having a team of bodyguards was second nature to him.
Just last week, a certain senator narrowly escaped being shot and killed by terrorists.
"I’m sorry, it was inconsiderate of me." The middle-aged man came to his senses and promptly apologized with regret.
He turned to whisper a few words to the head of the bodyguards, who showed a hesitant expression but nonetheless adhered to his boss’s wishes. Soon, the two rows of personnel retreated outside the restaurant to wait.
