Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 65: Gu Moqian Has Arrived, Their Fate Will Be Miserable!

"You... You’re the one feeling guilty! I just don’t want to waste everyone’s time!"

Zhang Yun retorted, somewhat unnaturally.

Ji Wei was about to respond when she suddenly sensed something amiss. She abruptly raised her head to scan the surroundings.

At some point, the crowd that had previously surrounded them tightly began to retreat a few steps. The entire café had fallen into extreme silence; no one dared to make a sound.

Immediately afterward, a tall and slender figure appeared at the staircase.

The man exuded an oppressive aura that sent chills down one’s spine. His familiar face remained excessively handsome.

A flicker of surprise flashed in Ji Wei’s eyes.

With her back to the staircase, Zhang Yun mistook Ji Wei’s silence for a triumphant advantage and continued to press on relentlessly, "Miss Ji, is that it now? Nothing to say? With so many people watching, hurry up and apologize. Don’t even think about pulling some sort of trick!"

Lilan spotted the approaching man whose presence exuded undeniable power and immediately turned pale as a sheet.

She frantically tugged at Zhang Yun’s sleeve, trying to stop her from continuing to speak.

But Zhang Yun, feeling victorious and smug, refused to back down.

She shook off Lilan’s hand and shouted, "Lilan, don’t stop me! Today, I must fight for justice! Miss Ji, relying on the Ji Family’s influence, bullies ordinary people—how can anyone swallow that kind of anger? Miss Ji, apologize to me right now! Did you hear me?"

Ji Wei’s lips curled into a faint, cold smile. She stared at Zhang Yun without saying a word.

Although the current situation was well within her ability to handle, Gu Moqian’s arrival felt like a solid reassurance to her.

Zhang Yun sneered, "Ha! So Miss Ji knows how to act shamelessly too? This is absolutely hilarious. To think you’re a young lady of a wealthy family, yet you dare to do the deed but not take responsibility! I guess the infamous reputation of Miss Ji in Rongcheng will now include being a cowardly turtle... Ah!"

Zhang Yun didn’t get to finish her sentence as her hair was suddenly yanked forcefully.

"Who is it?!"

Forced to tilt her head back, she was about to shout angrily but froze when she spotted the man standing silently behind her. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Gu Moqian!

Since when did Rongcheng’s number one figure appear here? She hadn’t noticed at all!

It was said that Mr. Gu was infamous for protecting his people, particularly those he held dear. Zhang Yun’s audacious shouting at Ji Wei earlier must’ve been witnessed by Gu Moqian.

This is bad, very bad—she was absolutely doomed!

If it weren’t for the bodyguard still grabbing her collar, Zhang Yun would’ve collapsed to the ground with her legs going soft.

Lilan, realizing that the situation had turned for the worse, tried to sneak away. frёewebηovel.cѳm

But as soon as she took a few steps back, the bodyguard caught her without fail.

With just one hand, the bodyguard tightly restrained her hands behind her back, leaving her unable to move.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

Lilan shouted in panic and distress.

With Gu Moqian here, their fate was bound to be miserable!

Ji Wei finally walked to Gu Moqian’s side at a deliberate pace. Her clear, bright eyes lifted toward him, and with a faint smile at the corner of her lips, she asked, "Why are you here?"

Gu Moqian glanced down, took her hand in his, and gave it a small squeeze. His voice was deep and mellow, carrying traces of laziness as he replied, "To accompany you for coffee."

Ji Wei: "..."

With just a few words from Gu Moqian, the surrounding crowd was so startled their eyes practically bulged out of their sockets.

It was rumored that Gu Moqian and Ji Wei had a tense relationship, their emotionally barren arranged marriage plagued by fiery conflicts. Not long ago, Miss Ji even resorted to dramatic measures like a suicide attempt to resist the marriage.

But now, the two appeared nothing short of lovey-dovey.

Especially Gu Moqian, known for his ruthless work ethic—yet here he was, skipping work in the middle of office hours to accompany Miss Ji on a coffee date. Wasn’t this outright spoiling her?

The crowd, who had previously been calling for Ji Wei to apologize, suddenly realized the potential consequences of Gu Moqian’s intervention. One after another, they made a hurried escape, scattering completely in the blink of an eye.
