CHAPTER 494: CHAPTER 494: YOU, YOU CAN’T WEAR SWIM TRUNKS EITHER!

Who would’ve thought a single sentence from Ye Cheng could effortlessly resolve the crisis.

Ji Wei was stunned by how quickly Zimei’s demeanor changed.

Meanwhile, Xi Nanfeng raised his eyebrows proudly, watching the two walk toward the champagne tower. He declared with immense self-satisfaction, "I have to say, no one understands Zimei’s weak spot better than me! With Old Ye around, that woman who’s seductive to the bone doesn’t stand a chance!"

"..."

Ji Wei twitched her lips.

Second Young Master Xi was at it again with his narcissism.

"By the way, what’s Old Mo up to? How could he be late for such an important occasion?! You, as his wife, are slacking. Why don’t you call him and hurry him up?" Xi Nanfeng asked casually, pulling out a chair and sitting down.

"I lost my phone," Ji Wei explained.

Xi Nanfeng slammed his phone on the table with flair. "Why didn’t you say so earlier? Use mine!"

Ji Wei picked up the phone, and as she saw the couple’s selfie used as the wallpaper, the corners of her mouth twitched again.

Xi Nanfeng awkwardly explained, "It was that troublesome woman who insisted on changing it. I’m a man; I don’t fuss over phone wallpapers..."

As he spoke, his face turned red.

Ji Wei thought to herself, Second Young Master Xi, this is clearly you saying one thing but meaning another.

She found Gu Moqian’s number and dialed it.

Ring, ring, ring...

A phone ringtone gradually drew closer, and Ji Wei froze for a moment. She abruptly turned around to see a tall figure walking toward her across the starlit lawn.

Gu Moqian was still dressed in his office suit. His impeccable attire, radiating luxury, coupled with his model-like physique, made Ji Wei’s heart race like a startled fawn.

The slight annoyance she felt about him being late had completely vanished.

Unconsciously, a soft smile crept to her lips.

"Sorry to keep my darling waiting." Gu Moqian approached her, cupping her face gently and planting a kiss on her forehead. His voice was tender to the extreme.

Darling...

She really liked it when Gu Moqian called her that.

Overflowing with joy, Ji Wei looked at him adoringly like a starry-eyed fangirl. Her gaze was filled with affection and warmth.

"Old Mo, you’re killing us with PDA the moment you show up! I can’t take it—I’m out of here!" The light bulb of a friend beside them tactfully walked away.

However, he hadn’t gone far when Qin Sixue leaped into Xi Nanfeng’s arms.

"Brother Nanfeng, my birthday party is about to start. Can you help me cut the cake?"

Xi Nanfeng wanted to refuse but figured that, since it was her birthday, he had to save face for her.

"Alright... fine," he said reluctantly.

"I knew you were the best!"

Qin Sixue cheerfully pulled him toward the brightly lit area.

The sight of the two holding hands as they appeared together immediately stirred up cheers from the younger crowd below.

Up front, Xi Nanfeng, cornered into the role of the birthday sidekick, cut the cake with Qin Sixue amidst a lively commotion.

On the outer edge of the crowd, Gu Moqian pulled Ji Wei onto his lap, lowering his gaze to glance at the swimsuit she was wearing. His handsome brows furrowed slightly.

Although Ji Wei had wrapped a shawl over herself, it still appeared too revealing in a man’s eyes.

Leaning closer, he murmured in her ear in a low, husky voice, "From now on, don’t wear anything this revealing in front of others."

"Even swimsuits are off-limits?" Ji Wei pouted, sounding a bit defiant.

She was already wearing the most conservative swimsuit possible—it wasn’t even a bikini.

"Nope. Not allowed."

The man nodded with utter confidence.

"Then what should I wear to swim?"

"If it’s just the two of us, you could choose... not to wear anything."

"..."

Ji Wei’s face instantly turned scarlet.

When this man wasn’t being serious, he could be absolutely maddening!

"F-Fine! Then you’re not allowed to wear swim trunks either!"

Unwilling to back down, Ji Wei boldly grasped Gu Moqian’s tie, pulling his face closer to hers. Staring into his eyes with her glistening gaze, she spoke with astonishing seriousness, "Your sexy body is for my eyes only."
