CHAPTER 626: CHAPTER 626: CAN’T USE UP ALL YOUR ENERGY, HUH? WHY NOT DO SOMETHING ELSE?

Getting into the car, Xia Duoduo waved repeatedly at Ye Cheng: "You better get better soon, or I’ll stir up trouble on set and make things difficult for you."

Her nose tingled, and she spoke with a whiny tone.

Ye Cheng felt both exasperated and amused, a flicker of emotion appeared on his typically cold, handsome face, "I dare you to try."

"I’m not afraid of you!" Xia Duoduo sniffled involuntarily. "Hurry back inside, it’s cold outside..."

Ye Cheng nodded faintly.

He watched as the car drove out of the apartment complex, then turned to head back inside.

...

The next morning, after breakfast and seeing Gu Moqian off, Ji Wei was strolling back along the garden path when a black sedan suddenly stopped next to her. Nan Huiru pushed open the door and stepped out.

"What brings you here?" Ji Wei paused her steps, looking at her in surprise.

It had only been a few days, but Nan Huiru seemed less spirited than before. Was it because of the matter with Shen Yu that she wasn’t in good spirits?

Before Ji Wei could think further, she heard Nan Huiru say, "I’m heading to the airport soon and wanted to visit before I leave."

"Leaving so suddenly? Did something happen in Britain?" Ji Wei asked, a bit shocked.

Nan Huiru’s expression was slightly unnatural, and she forced out a smile. "No, I’ve been back for quite a while. Mo Qian’s dad is alone in Britain, and I don’t feel at ease. I want to go check on him."

"Alright, don’t worry about it. I’ll take good care of the baby," Ji Wei reassured her.

Mo Qian’s father living alone in Britain without a woman’s care must have its inconveniences.

Nan Huiru nodded her head. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It’s no trouble. This baby is my and Mo Qian’s treasure, I’m eagerly looking forward to his arrival."

Seeing Ji Wei’s serene smile, Nan Huiru’s gaze softened. It was a stark contrast to the hostility during their first meeting. Feeling reassured, she grew sentimental.

She believed that once the child was born, Ji Wei would be an excellent mother.

She wanted to say more, but the words caught in her throat. After a brief silence, Nan Huiru simply said, "I’ll come back to see you after the baby is born."

Was it just her imagination?

Why did it seem that Nan Huiru’s voice carried a hint of a choke when she said that...

Before Ji Wei could process her thoughts, Nan Huiru had already gotten back into the car and left.

Her departure felt abrupt to Ji Wei, so when Gu Moqian returned later that evening, she voiced her unease.

"Alright, I’ll give Dad a call in a bit to check if anything’s going on," he said, his large hand resting gently on her soft hair, soothing her.

Ji Wei nodded, holding onto Gu Moqian’s firm waist, resting her head against his chest. "I hope it’s just my overthinking."

After taking a shower, Gu Moqian carried Ji Wei back to the bed.

Unable to resist her persistent urging, he dialed Gu Zhizhou’s number.

The phone rang for a long time before someone answered, but the voice that came through was Gu Zhizhou’s secretary: "Mr. Gu, Chairman Gu is currently in a meeting and can’t take the call. Is there something urgent?"

"Nothing major, I just wanted to check on Dad’s recent situation," Gu Moqian replied lightly.

"Chairman Gu... is doing well, there’s no need for concern," the secretary responded.

Gu Moqian’s gaze darkened slightly. A moment later, he said, "Alright, I’ll hang up then."

Seeing him put away his phone and walk over, Ji Wei clutched the blanket, eagerly asking, "Is Dad alright over there?"

Sitting beside the bed, Gu Moqian raised his hand to gently tap her petite, upturned nose. "You’re pregnant; you shouldn’t be worrying about other matters."

"It doesn’t hurt to show some care."

Gu Moqian smirked. "Too much energy to spare, huh? How about channeling it elsewhere?"
