CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 119: CAN’T I, THE DIRECTOR OF THIS PROJECT, COME HERE?

Mo Qian gently started removing Ji Wei’s jacket, followed by her underwear.

When his hand touched the strap of her bra, he suddenly froze in place. His gaze inadvertently swept across the soft rise and fall of her chest, and his eyes darkened slightly.

But when he noticed the little woman sleeping so deeply, her breathing light, he couldn’t bear to wake her.

Mo Qian let out a silent sigh of restraint, then carefully removed her bra and changed her into sleepwear.

Next, he lifted the blanket and lay down as well, reaching out to pull the soft, delicate body beside him into his arms. Holding her with infinite tenderness, he drifted off into a dream.

...

Early the next morning, as she needed to head to the project command site in the west of the city, Ji Wei naturally woke up early.

When she opened her eyes, she realized she was still being held tightly in Mo Qian’s embrace. For fear of disturbing her sleep during the night, Mo Qian had remained in the same position, simply cradling her closely.

Looking at the man as he slept, Ji Wei couldn’t help but smile.

She quietly got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

By the time she finished freshening up and came out, she saw Mo Qian had also awakened. He was propping himself up on one hand, lying on his side, quietly watching her.

"Good morning, Mrs. Gu," he said.

"Good morning, Mr. Gu," she replied with a smile.

The early autumn sunlight bathed the man, enveloping him in a gentle glow. His refined and handsome face appeared even more strikingly beautiful in the morning light.

Ji Wei stared dumbly at her dashing husband, her heart awash with happiness.

After breakfast, the two left the house together.

Heading to the project site in the west of the city would mean passing by Gu Group. When the Maybach arrived at the Gu Mansion, Mo Qian got out and instructed Old Xu to continue driving Ji Wei to the west side.

In the car, Ji Wei was still making use of the time to familiarize herself with the project’s progress.

At present, only the central commercial building had been constructed, while the surrounding facilities—such as parking lots, food streets, and entertainment zones—had yet to begin construction. As for why it had been delayed, the reason column only briefly mentioned external restrictions, unresolved for the time being.

What kind of external factors were causing the delay in the project’s progress?

The Maybach eventually came to a stable stop at the entrance of the project command site.

Zhu Jianian was discussing the final version of the design plans with the project designer when her eyes suddenly lit up at the sight of the approaching Maybach.

Mo Qian’s car! Could it be him?

Zhu Jianian was ecstatic. She had thought that, being temporarily assigned to this site, she wouldn’t get the chance to see Mo Qian. Yet here he was, looking for her on the very first day!

Sure enough, she still held a place in his heart.

Unable to contain herself, Zhu Jianian hurriedly set down the blueprints and, ignoring the designer’s surprised expression, ran straight toward the entrance.

Outside the car, Ji Wei had just stepped out, with Ling Ling following closely behind her.

As soon as Zhu Jianian caught sight of Ji Wei, her steps abruptly halted, and her smile froze momentarily.

Why is Ji Wei here?

But she quickly dismissed the thought and resumed walking forward.

Assuming Mo Qian was still inside and had not yet come out of the car, Zhu Jianian leaned close to the window to peek inside.

"Old Xu, you can head back now," Ji Wei said calmly while turning to the driver, paying no attention to Zhu Jianian.

"Alright, Mrs. Gu. I’ll come pick you up before the end of the workday," Old Xu replied.

With that, he started the engine and drove off.

Zhu Jianian stood there, staring dazedly as the Maybach disappeared into the distance, a hint of disappointment in her gaze. After a long moment, she turned to Ji Wei, biting her lip somewhat resentfully as she asked, "Why are you here? Why isn’t Mo Qian here?"

Ji Wei smiled slightly, looked at Zhu Jianian, and replied slowly, "I’m the director of this project. Can’t I be here?"
