Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Is Dog Food Free? Spreading it Everywhere

The shouting gradually faded, and the coffee shop returned to its quiet atmosphere.

The waiter carefully approached the two of them and asked respectfully, "Mr. Gu, what would you like to drink?"

Gu Moqian sat down, taking the opportunity to pull the woman in front of him into his arms, seating her on his lap. Then he leaned close to her ear and softly asked, "What do you want to drink?"

Completely ignoring the presence of others nearby, Gu Moqian openly flirted with her, causing Ji Wei’s ears to instantly turn red. "Anything is fine," she replied.

"Two cappuccinos, one with sugar." Gu Moqian spoke slowly, his voice deep and rich.

The waiter quickly responded and retreated.

During the wait, Ji Wei absentmindedly toyed with the small porcelain seasoning bottles on the table and remarked wistfully, "Actually, just now, if they hadn’t been so selfish, I might have let them go."

A nameless emotion stirred in Ji Wei’s eyes. "What a pity..."

"Human nature has always been fragile under trial."

Gu Moqian’s broad hand covered hers, halting her fiddling. His tone was calm and unhurried.

"Indeed."

Thinking back to the hardships she had endured in her previous life, Ji Wei felt a faint melancholy in her heart.

Though she was only twenty years old, her past experiences had long since left her world-wearied far beyond her years.

Gu Moqian turned his head quietly and gazed at her. In the depths of her clear eyes, he captured a trace of sadness that was almost imperceptible.

He tightened his grip on her hand and spoke with unwavering certainty. "Those who fail the test are weak, but I am different."

Startled by his words, Ji Wei turned toward him, her eyes meeting his. His ocean-deep gaze was resolute, without the slightest hint of doubt.

Her heart trembled, but warmth flooded through her.

Gu Moqian—he was indeed unlike any other man.

Perhaps in this lifetime, she wouldn’t have to endure the tragic fate of her previous life...

"Mr. Gu, your coffee is here."

The waiter placed two cups of coffee on the table before discreetly retreating again.

Gu Moqian showed no intention of letting her go.

He wore a clean white shirt, with the cuffs rolled up slightly to reveal a refined watch. His slender, fair hands holding the coffee cup were exceptionally elegant.

The man’s clean-cut face, mature and angular, with his striking brows and relaxed demeanor, exuded an innate nobility.

Ji Wei turned her head, watching the man, even in the act of sipping coffee, radiating an effortless charm. She couldn’t help but stare in a daze.

Sensing her gaze, Gu Moqian suddenly turned to meet her eyes, a faint smile curving his lips. "I remember you saying over the phone that no matter how much you look at me, it never feels enough. Is that really true?"

She had said that back then purely to flatter him.

Never expecting him to bring it up now, Ji Wei’s face instantly burned with heat, and she quickly averted her gaze.

Seeing her shy reaction, Gu Moqian’s smile deepened. "The coffee tastes good. Want to try?"

Ji Wei had planned to refuse, but Gu Moqian had already lifted the cup and brought it to her lips.

Having no choice, she took a sip from his hand.

Amidst the subtle bitterness, there was a trace of sweetness. The rich aroma of the coffee lingered, leaving a lasting impression.

She had always been fond of lattes, but now she discovered that cappuccinos could be just as delightful.

Ji Wei glanced at her watch. Xia Duoduo and the others should be arriving soon.

"Moqian, your bodyguards standing there like that are probably intimidating my friends. I doubt they’ll dare come up." Ji Wei pointed at the row of men in black behind her in protest.

"Your friends?" Gu Moqian raised an eyebrow slightly.

"My closest friend, Xia Duoduo. She’s having a date here today."

Now, Gu Moqian finally understood why she had chosen to come here today.

Without any change in his expression, he asked, "Your friend is on a date—why are you here meddling?"

"To be an invisible third wheel." Ji Wei replied playfully.

Gu Moqian suddenly leaned in and planted a quick kiss on her flushed right cheek. "Then I’ll keep you company."

Ji Wei’s face grew even redder. "This is a public place; mind the impact!"

"We’re in a proper, loving relationship. What’s wrong with some kisses and cuddles?"

Ji Wei: "..."

Just as Xia Duoduo walked upstairs, she was greeted by the sight of this pink-bubble-filled scene. Stunned for a good while, she suddenly bolted forward.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem! Ji Xiaowei, do you think spreading dog food around is free? You’re sprinkling it everywhere!"
