Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Do You Think Your Husband Is That Stupid?

Ji Wei was even more surprised: "You locked her in the bathroom?"

"Mm." Mo Qian nodded calmly.

Ji Wei couldn’t imagine what it was like for Zhu Jianian, who had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, to be locked alone in the bathroom, but it certainly wouldn’t have been pleasant.

Was this all a trap set by the Zhu Family? A case of reaping what one sows?

"Right. There’s something I don’t understand. Why was Zhu Jianian drugged, but nothing happened to you?" This was the part Ji Wei couldn’t quite figure out.

She clearly remembered Zhu Ming’an saying Mo Qian had been drugged too.

Mo Qian lifted her delicate chin, his deep, clear eyes gazing into hers as he said with a faint, teasing smile, "Do you really think your husband is that foolish? That he could be so easily drugged and knocked out?"

"But if you were fine, why would you let yourself be locked up..."

Ji Wei had only just started speaking when her eyes suddenly lit up. Seeing the increasingly mischievous smile in the man’s eyes, she was now even more certain of her suspicion: "You were acting, weren’t you? Pretending to be drugged, fooling everyone!" noveldrama

That "everyone" undoubtedly included Nan Huiru. Otherwise, how could she have made it back to Shanshui Manor early to stop her from finding Mo Qian?

Mo Qian nodded approvingly, "Mm, Mrs. Gu is indeed very clever."

Hearing Mo Qian’s compliment, Ji Wei didn’t show any signs of happiness. Instead, she abruptly pulled away from his embrace, pouting in displeasure as she said, "Do you have any idea how worried I was? Since you were fine, why didn’t you think to send me a message? You let me fret and panic, terrified that Zhu Jianian might..."

The petite woman stood with her back to him, her head lowered as she rambled on, venting her dissatisfaction.

Mo Qian listened quietly until she suddenly fell silent. Only then did he step forward, wrapping his arms around her from behind, tightening them little by little.

Ji Wei felt like she was being hugged so tightly she could barely breathe. She struggled slightly, but when she couldn’t break free, she turned her head and glared at him instead: "You don’t care about my feelings, so why are you hugging me now?"

Her tone was still puffed up with anger.

Mo Qian buried his head against her fair, smooth neck, inhaling her light and elegant scent, his voice low and haunting as he murmured, "I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you overthinking."

Ji Wei thought for a moment and realized he had a point.

If Mo Qian had told her that he’d been locked in the same bedroom as Zhu Jianian, she probably wouldn’t have been able to sit still either. She would’ve run over to check on him anyway.

"Don’t be angry anymore, hmm?" The man’s deep, velvety voice resounded beside her ear, the warmth of his breath teasing her sensitive nerves.

Ji Wei wasn’t actually angry anymore.

Mo Qian hadn’t planned on telling her anything. He chose to bear the danger of being schemed against alone, protecting her in his own way. Thinking of this, her nose suddenly felt a bit stuffy with emotion.

She slowly reached out her hand, placing it over the warm hand resting on her waist, offering her silent response.

Feeling the soft touch of her small hand, just the right warmth, it was like a wave of tender heat coursing through his heart.

Mo Qian suddenly turned her body around. Seeing the slight astonishment flicker in her bright eyes, he leaned down abruptly, capturing her lips precisely with his own.

His thin lips softly brushed, tenderly sucking, as though patiently waiting for her response.

His breath was so close, and an electrifying numbness surged through her, making her heart tremble. Slowly, she began to respond to him.

Their tongues entwined, as if neither could bear to let the other go, wanting nothing more than to merge each other into their very soul.

Mo Qian’s kiss stirred up a rosy flush on her cheeks, and before long, she was breathing unevenly.

"Mm... ah..."
