<h4>Chapter 25: Chapter 25: Speak Less, No One Thinks You’re Mute</h4><h4></h4>
The two kissed passionately, as if they wanted to merge into each other’s hearts.
After a long time, Ji Wei finally released his lips slowly.
Her bright ck eyes sparkled, her cheeks flushed, carrying a tinge of shyness.
Realizing what she had just done, Ji Wei hastily released her hands, quickly lifted the quilt, and burrowed into the bedding, lying down with her back facing Gu Moqian.
Her heart was pounding wildly; biting her finger, she felt a mix of regret and sweetness, her mind entirely consumed by fragments of the kiss just moments ago.
Oh my gosh, what did she just do?
She actually initiated a kiss with Gu Moqian!
Oh heavens, oh heavens, oh heavens!
"What are you thinking about?"
Ji Wei, her mind still in chaos, blurted out unconsciously, "How could I take the initiative to kiss him? I’m socking in restraint..."
Mid-sentence, she suddenly stopped abruptly and turned her face around.
Gu Moqian’s eyes were full of mirth as he looked at her, his tonezy, "Not only did you kiss me, you bit me too."
He clearly remembered how someone just now was so irresistibly drawn to him, clumsily yet earnestly kissing and biting him.
Ji Wei: "..."
Her face instantly turned as red as a tomato.
Was there anything wrong with biting him?
She had seen it in those movies — when women took the initiative to tease, wasn’t that how they did it?
"Didn’t bite enough just now? How about, we try one more time?"
Gu Moqian suddenly leaned closer to her, his warm breath sprinkling across her cheeks, making them itch.
Ji Wei hurriedly scrambled away in a panic, her behavior suggesting he was some terrifying creature.
Gu Moqian’s smile deepened. Just as he was about to say something, there was suddenly a knock at the door.
Immediately after, the servant’s voice sounded from outside: "Miss, are you awake? Dinner has been prepared, and the Old Madam is waiting for you and Mr. Gu toe down to eat."
"Go tell Grandma we’ll be right down."
-
In the dining room, the crystal chandelier emitted dazzling light, illuminating the surroundings brightly. A long dining table was alreadyden with sumptuous dishes.
Ji Yunxiang was sitting by the table, visibly impatient: "Little Wei is getting so unruly, making her elders wait for her even during mealtime."
Old Madam Ji cast Ji Yunxiang a sharp nce: "Say less—no one’s treating you as mute."
"Mother, I am at least her aunt, am I not even allowed to say a few words? It’s your fault and Brother’s—the way you’ve pampered her has made her disrespectful to her elders. If she gets married into the Gu Family, wouldn’t that embarrass the Ji Familypletely!"
Just as Ji Yunxiang finished speaking, Ji Wei and Gu Moqian walked into the dining room.
Ji Yunxiang immediately masked her displeasure and, forcing a smile, looked at Ji Wei, speaking with veiled sarcasm: "Little Wei, you’ve finallye down. Not bad, only twenty minuteste this time. That’s an improvementpared tost time when you got mad and overturned the entire dining table, leaving everyone with no meal to eat."
Then she quickly turned her gaze to Gu Moqian, saying, "Little Wei has a bad temper; all of us in the Ji Family have gotten quite used to it. But poor Mr. Gu, in the future when you deal with Little Wei’s attitude, you’re going to have a hard time, truly putting you in a difficult position."
Gu Moqian raised his brow slightly and nced at Ji Wei by his side, his expression half-amused, half-serious. He replied, "Aunt, there’s no need to worry. Since I’ve chosen Weiwei, I’ll ept both her good and bad sides."
"Mr. Gu speaks lightly—what if she disgracefully embarrasses your Gu Family? I’ve heard Chairman Gu values the Gu Family’s reputation above everything else," Ji Yunxiang said, clenching her teeth in concealed frustration.
Before Gu Moqian could respond, Old Madam Ji could take no more. She forcefully tapped her cane against the floor and red at Ji Yunxiang: "Enough! You were the oneining about being hungry, yet here you are yapping endlessly. Are you not going to eat now?"
