Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Haven’t seen you for half a day, miss you so much......

Gu Moqian had clearly explained—he had decisively rejected Zhu Jianian’s unreasonable demands. So why was she still quarreling with him like this?

Thinking of this, Ji Wei’s anger subsided more than half in an instant.

"You’re right. She works at the Gu Family company, so running into her is inevitable. Since that’s the case, there’s no need to wait any longer. Tomorrow morning, I’ll have her process her resignation paperwork."

Gu Moqian raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her hair, his voice incomparably solemn.

Ji Wei looked at the man’s unusually serious face. She knew that when he said something, he would do it.

But at this moment, her heart involuntarily turned to other matters.

Zhu Jianian was introduced into the Gu Family company by Gu Moqian’s mother. If he were to directly drive her away, wouldn’t that create a rift between him and his mother?

Although Ji Wei wasn’t entirely clear on Gu Moqian’s mother’s thoughts, knowing that he was engaged and still placing another woman by his side, did this not imply that Gu Moqian’s mother was dissatisfied with her?

Perhaps, in the eyes of that older woman, Zhu Jianian was actually the most suitable choice for a daughter-in-law.

So wasn’t Gu Moqian caught in the middle, facing dilemmas from both sides?

Realizing this, Ji Wei became aware that she had been overreacting a little.

She gently bit her lower lip, composed herself, and then raised her gaze to look at Gu Moqian. "Forget it. Since I said I’d take the initiative to drive her away, I’ll definitely make it happen."

Having her handle it was better than forcing Gu Moqian to clash with his mother directly.

He steadily gazed at the petite woman’s slightly stubborn yet earnest expression, his heart softening. Suddenly, he reached out and wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

Through the thin layer of fabric, Ji Wei could feel the warmth of his palm.

She naturally leaned into his broad chest.

Gu Moqian’s large hand resting on her waist gradually tightened, holding her firmly in his embrace.

Ji Wei struggled slightly with some embarrassment but eventually let him hold her.

Gu Moqian rested his chin against the top of her head. "The position of project director has been arranged for you. You can start anytime."

Ji Wei slightly lifted her head from his embrace and asked, "Does this mean I got into the Gu Family company because of you? Aren’t you worried about other employees complaining about the unfairness?"

Gu Moqian raised an eyebrow. "Who would dare?"

Ji Wei couldn’t help but laugh, as if there really was no one who would.

"But I won’t be a mere decoration sitting in the project director’s chair. I’ll work hard to prove to everyone that I am capable of handling this job."

In her previous life at the Ji Family, after Old Master Ji passed, the Ji Family faced the risk of being swallowed up by uncles and relatives. Back then, Ji Wei had decisively entered the company, scheming step by step, and ultimately secured the family business for Ji Chuyang.

It could be said that she was no stranger to the battles of the business world; on the contrary, they fueled her determination.

As she spoke, her eyes sparkled with confidence. The radiance in them caught Gu Moqian’s attention, and an approving smile flickered across his face.

"Of course, how could my Mrs. Gu possibly be inferior?" Gu Moqian’s voice carried a hint of pride. "However, even if you did nothing, I could take care of you for a lifetime."

Ji Wei felt sweetness bloom in her heart, but she still gently shook her head.

Having experienced rebirth, she understood deeply that even if someone offered protection, one still had to grow strong independently.

Gu Moqian quietly stared at her somewhat stubborn yet earnest face, his heart stirred.

Without warning, he suddenly scooped her up into his arms. His deep eyes rippled with emotion, and his voice held a husky undertone. "It’s been half a day. I’ve missed you so much..."

Ji Wei was utterly stunned, staring blankly at the man’s sharp and handsome features.

Gu Moqian carried her in large strides toward the bed.

By the time Ji Wei realized what was happening, her back was already sinking into the soft mattress.
