CHAPTER 504: CHAPTER 504: GLANCES INTENTIONALLY AND UNINTENTIONALLY SWEEPING TOWARDS HER ABDOMEN

"I’m sorry."

Ji Wei lowered her lashes and said with a guilty heart.

She hadn’t expected to actually bite Mo Qian, and to bite him so hard at that.

"Why apologize? It doesn’t hurt at all." Mo Qian looked into her glistening eyes and smiled warmly.

Ji Wei felt even more unsettled.

"Come on, just a few more tests left. Hang in there." Mo Qian took her hand.

Ji Wei followed his steps, staring at the tall and upright figure in front of her as her eyes suddenly grew red.

After the tests were done, Mo Qian took Ji Wei back to the VIP hospital room.

She sat on the sofa while he crouched down before her, holding her little hand resting on her knees. Speaking as gently as if coaxing a daughter, he said, "Besides sweets, what else do you want to eat? I’ll go get it."

Ji Wei froze for a moment and blurted out, "...spicy sour noodles."

She just craved sour and spicy food.

Her appetite had really been strange lately.

"Alright." Mo Qian tilted his face up and pressed a gentle kiss onto her smooth forehead. "My wife has been wonderful today; wait for me."

Ji Wei pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.

While waiting, she opened her phone. On her feed, Xia Duoduo had posted photos—her left leg was in a cast, looking quite serious.

She immediately left a comment: "Duoduo, hugs to you. You’ll recover soon, stay strong!"

Xia Duoduo quickly replied: "Little Wei, I’ve already told the Great Demon King. He’s really angry... He’s rushing over right now. Do you think he’ll come to scold me? Getting into an accident at such a golden opportunity, what a stroke of bad luck."

Ji Wei was just about to type a reply when suddenly a phone call came through.

Seeing the caller ID say "Grandma," Ji Wei was slightly surprised.

"Grandma."

"Wei girl, Yunli didn’t come home all night. Have you heard from him?" Old Madam Ji’s voice carried unmistakable urgency.

"No." Ji Wei’s heart sank. "Grandma, what’s going on?"

"This morning, the court suddenly delivered a summons to the house, saying your father is suspected of tax evasion involving a huge amount. I’ve tried calling him, but his phone hasn’t been reachable. I asked people at the company, and they said Yunli left work on time yesterday, but he never came home last night..."

Old Madam Ji grew more agitated as she spoke.

She only had one son—if something truly happened to him, what would she do!

Ji Wei felt alarmed too, but in front of her grandmother, she had to stay calm: "Grandma, don’t worry yet. I’ll head to the Ji Group immediately to find out what’s going on. Dad would never do something illegal! Once I’m there, I’ll also contact Dad’s friends—he might be at a friend’s house."

"Good, good!" Old Madam Ji seemed slightly reassured hearing Ji Wei’s words. "Your father is a law-abiding businessman; he’ll definitely be fine..."

Ji Wei comforted her grandmother a little more before hanging up the call.

Without delay, Ji Wei quickly packed up and headed out.

As she opened the door, she bumped into a nurse delivering the medical report.

"Mrs. Gu, this is your routine blood test report." The nurse’s gaze seemed to linger briefly on her lower abdomen as she spoke.

Worried about her father’s safety, Ji Wei didn’t get a chance to look at it carefully. She took it, thanked the nurse, and placed the report casually on the shoe cabinet nearby.

She hailed a taxi directly to the Ji Group.

Getting out of the car, Ji Wei felt slightly dizzy and nauseous but forced herself to suppress the discomfort.

She took the elevator all the way up to the Ji Group.

The reception desk was unattended, though the main door was open.

Even stranger, the usually bustling office area was eerily devoid of any employees.

What’s going on?

An increasing sense of foreboding rose within Ji Wei as she hurried toward the CEO’s office. Through the blinds, she could see light inside.

Someone was in the office!
