Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 237: Chapter 237: The other party raised the dark muzzle of the gun and aimed at them.

The man spoke, then crouched down, his slender hand picking up a pale gold high heel, while his other hand gently cradled her snow-white bare foot in his palm. noveldrama

Ji Wei lowered her head and saw Gu Moqian preparing to put her shoe on in front of so many people. She whispered anxiously, "Mo Qian, there’s no need. I can do it myself."

"I’ll do it."

The man didn’t look up, only said these two words indifferently before continuing to put the high heel onto her foot, then moved to the other one.

The spotlight from the dance floor had yet to move away from the two of them.

The woman stood there holding up her dress, while the man knelt on one knee before her. The hand that had signed contracts worth billions was now carefully placing a shoe on a woman’s foot...

Such an unbelievable scene once again stunned everyone at the banquet.

So it turned out that beneath Mr. Gu’s aloof and cold exterior, he was secretly a wife-doting maniac!

After putting on the other shoe, Gu Moqian slowly stood up. "Done."

"Th-thank you," Ji Wei stammered helplessly, her face flushed.

A trace of a smile flickered in Gu Moqian’s eyes as he said calmly, "Why thank me? I’m your husband."

Ji Wei: "..."

Biting her lip lightly, she looked at the refined and elegant man before her, a wave of warmth coursing through her heart.

The two were holding hands, about to walk out of the dance floor, when suddenly a gunshot pierced the air!

Bang!

The crystal chandelier overhead shattered instantly, fragments raining down with a crash, sending the crowd at the edge of the dance floor into a panic as they screamed and scrambled for cover.

Ji Wei had yet to process what was happening when a second deafening shot echoed out.

The moment the first shot sounded, Gu Moqian instinctively pulled Ji Wei into his arms and moved swiftly to the side.

The lights overhead went out one by one, plunging the banquet hall into chaos.

The sudden gunshots only heightened the fear, with shouts and cries filling the air.

Amid the turmoil, Gu Moqian shielded Ji Wei tightly beneath him, his voice low and cool, devoid of any panic: "Don’t be afraid. I’m here."

It was Ji Wei’s first time experiencing such a scene. Coupled with her dulled senses from alcohol, she remained in shock, unable to react.

The gunshots nearby came one after another, each louder than the last. Gu Moqian shielded Ji Wei in his embrace as they dodged left and right.

Several times, bullets whizzed right past them, their situation perilous.

As Ji Wei finally snapped out of her daze, her face had turned pale. At that moment, it was unclear if the power circuits had been sabotaged, but the entire cruise ship was swallowed in darkness.

Screams and cries echoed incessantly in her ears. Amid such chaos, Ji Wei was luckily kept safe in Gu Moqian’s firm protection, avoiding being knocked over by the panicked crowd fleeing the bullets.

"Follow me."

In the darkness, Gu Moqian’s gaze was sharp and icy. His grip on her hand was warm and full of strength. Even though Ji Wei had been completely overwhelmed moments ago, as long as this man was by her side, as long as she stayed near Gu Moqian, she felt inexplicably reassured.

Gu Moqian, relying on his memory, led Ji Wei toward the cabin door. The relentless gunfire continued nearby, shattering wine bottles and glasses on the tables, sending shards flying and screams erupting again and again.

Several times, Ji Wei felt the bullets graze right past them, their surroundings rife with danger.

Who was shooting?

Who were these assassins targeting?

As they were about to approach the cabin door, under the faint moonlight reflecting off the sea outside, Ji Wei suddenly saw a figure in black, lurking near the doorway, leap out of the shadows.

She could even clearly see the person raise a pitch-black gun, aiming directly at them.

"Mo Qian, watch out!"

Ji Wei cried out in alarm without thinking.
