Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: A Softness on Her Lips, It was He Who Kissed Her

The door was gently closed.

Ji Wei still lay motionless on top of Gu Moqian. After a long moment, she finally stopped trembling all over and lifted her head slightly.

In the darkness, the woman’s eyes fixed unblinkingly on the man mere inches away, still somewhat disbelieving. As their gazes locked, his eyes remained deep and unreadable.

Finally snapping out of her daze, she caught the overpowering scent of blood on him and frantically asked, "Mo Qian, you were shot earlier—where exactly is the injury..."

"It’s nothing."

That shot had originally been aimed at Gu Moqian’s heart, but because Ji Wei had rushed at him, his body shifted, causing the bullet to miss its mark.

Ji Wei was still worried, her hands fumbling as she searched for the wound. "How could it be nothing? It was a bullet—it hit your body!"

The room was pitch-black; Ji Wei couldn’t see where he was hurt, her anxiety growing more desperate.

Suddenly, her hand was seized by Gu Moqian and firmly pressed against his chest. "Why didn’t you leave with Xi Nanfeng and the others? Do you even realize how foolish it was to come back alone?"

"I didn’t think about it at the time—I was afraid you’d get hurt."

Gu Moqian’s stern face darkened as he countered, "What makes you think you wouldn’t get hurt? That the bullets wouldn’t hit you instead?"

"..."

Ji Wei stared at him, biting her lower lip in slight grievance.

Of course, she understood the logic, but she just couldn’t stop worrying about him.

His dark, piercing eyes lingered on her pale face for a long while before he suddenly heaved a sigh.

How could he not understand why she had acted that way? But the mere thought of her being killed by those people without his protection... He could not bear to lose her.

"Mo Qian, I’m sorry, I..." noveldrama

Noticing his sudden silence, Ji Wei instinctively lowered her gaze to apologize. But before she could finish, Gu Moqian pulled her tightly into his arms.

He buried his face against her neck, inhaling greedily the faint fragrance that lingered on her.

He didn’t move at all.

"Mo Qian, you’re bleeding—we need to tend to your wound immediately..."

Ji Wei attempted to push him away, causing the man to finally stir slightly.

But in the next second, Gu Moqian tilted her chin up and pressed his lips against hers.

His kiss was intense and fiery, mingled with a rare, frenzied desperation. He devoured her lips, delving deep, claiming the entirety of her mouth and leaving her lips sore.

It was as though some overwhelming emotion had engulfed him, driving him to seize and entangle her in this manner.

For a long time—so long that Ji Wei’s tongue went numb—Gu Moqian finally let her go.

"Don’t act so recklessly in the future. Luckily, the bullets didn’t hit you." He looked at her, his eyes glimmering like the starry sea in the pitch-black room, dazzling and mesmerizing.

Ji Wei stared at him, momentarily dazed.

Then, with a hint of defiance, she pouted and muttered in a small voice, "The gunshots have already been fired—what’s there to be afraid of?"

"Hm?" The man’s voice lifted slightly.

"N-Nothing..."

She absolutely couldn’t let Gu Moqian find out that the two shots fired outside the window earlier were hers!

Suddenly, urgent footsteps echoed down the hallway, followed by the beam of a flashlight shining toward the two of them. "Mr. Gu, my apologies for startling you..."

Judging by the voice, it was Chen Ke, his assistant.

The sudden illumination caused Ji Wei to instinctively raise her hand to shield her eyes.

When she lowered her hand again, the flashlight had already turned away, and the group of people who had accompanied Chen Ke had obediently spun around, heads bowed, hands clasped behind them. It was clear they were embodying the phrase: "See no evil."
