<h4>Chapter 107: Chapter 107: A peach-colored lip print stamped on the man’s face</h4>
Ji Wei looked at him for a long while before murmuring, "Everything was fine, so why did she resign?"
"The letter says there’s something urgent back in her hometown, and she must return."
Gu Moqian folded the letter and stuffed it directly into his pocket.
"Sister inw Zhang has been here for so long. Without her, it really feels a bit strange. Justst night, I was telling her she should teach me to cook more often."
Ji Wei walked over, pulled out a dining chair, and sat down. Exhausted from being thoroughly worn out by Gu Moqian this morning, she was also so hungry her stomach felt glued to her back. She grabbed a sandwich and took a big bite. "Sister inw Zhang’s cooking is impable; this sandwich is absolutely delicious."
"If you want to eat it every day, that’s not a problem." Gu Moqian also came over and sat beside her. "I’ll have Chen Ke find the best five-star hotel chefter. The vors they create will be even better than this."
Ji Wei took a sip of the milk nearby and said, "There’s no need for that. We usually just eat homestyle dishes. Asking a five-star chef to cater to us would be such a waste. Besides, I’ve gotten used to Sister inw Zhang’s cooking. Her sudden departure feels like a bit of a pity."
Gu Moqian stiffened slightly in the middle of eating.
It only took Ji Wei a short while to get used to it. And him? Except for the years studying abroad, he’d been eating Sister inw Zhang’s cooking for almost six years.
"Hmm." He hummed lightly and suppressed the flicker of emotion in his eyes, lowering his head to focus on his meal.
The real reason for Sister inw Zhang’s departure was something he was well aware of.
Having worked at Shanshui Manor for nearly ten years, she was an old hand. Of course, he knew there wasn’t anyone left in Aunt Zhang’s so-called hometown. Her excuse was clearly made up on the spot.
Sister inw Zhang likely knew that her deeds were about to be exposed, so she ran off in such a hurry.
Some people, when their loyalty does not lie with him, aren’t worth keeping around.
"Mo Qian, today’s Saturday. Do you have any ns?"
Noticing that the atmosphere had suddenly grown somber, Ji Wei casually brought up a new topic.
Gu Moqian paused mid-bite, raised his eyes to look at her, and spoke slowly, "I’ll call your friendter to see if she’s free. Ye Cheng agreed to give her a chance."
"Really?"
At first, Ji Wei thought she had misheard. But when she saw the faint smile in Gu Moqian’s eyes, she quickly swallowed the bite of sandwich in her mouth and jumped to her feet in excitement. "That’s fantastic! I’ll call Duoduo right away!"
If Duoduo found out that the top-tier agent Ye Cheng was willing to take her on as an artist, she’d probablyugh herself awake dreaming. All her recent gloom would vanish in an instant!
Seeing how the little woman couldn’t wait even a moment to grab her phone, Gu Moqian’s lips curled into a faint smile, his gaze filled with tenderness and indulgence.
Ji Wei and Xia Duoduo arranged to meet in front of the Xingyao Entertainment Building. After finishing breakfast, she went upstairs to change into something more suitable for going out. "ck ck ck," she descended the stairs and went to the entrance to put on her shoes.
Just as she finished putting them on and looked up, Ji Wei saw Gu Moqian approaching.
"I’ll give you a ride."
Ji Wei was taken aback. "Weren’t you just in the study? Don’t you need to deal with work?"
"Work isn’t as important as you."
Gu Moqian reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Looking at the flush on her face, his smile was gentle like the breeze.
Ji Wei stared at the man’s impossibly handsome face, momentarily dazed, before she took the initiative to hook her arm around his. Looking up at Gu Moqian with a bright, flower-like smile, she cheerfully said, "Thanks, hubby!"
"Hmm, a kiss first."
Gu Moqian casually pointed a finger to his left cheek.
Ji Wei almost burst intoughter at his attitude.
Holding in herughter, she stood on her tiptoes and gave his chiseled, clean-shaven cheek a firm kiss.
A peach-colored lip print was left on the man’s face.
