Chapter 41: Chapter 41 This Man Gave Her All His Tenderness"Let go, let go of me, let go..." Ji Yunxiang’s voice trembled. "Take back what you just said!" Gu Moqian’s voice was chillingly cold, emanating a powerful aura that made people shudder with fear. Ji Yunxiang’s legs turned to jelly; she could barely stand. "Okay, okay... I’ll take it back, take back what I said earlier. Ji Wei is not a bastard, she’s not..." The word "bastard" once again ignited Gu Moqian’s fury. He grabbed Ji Yunxiang’s collar with his other hand, lifting her off the ground entirely. "Who gave you the guts to talk like that?" Gu Moqian’s gaze was devoid of warmth, his voice ominously cold and terrifying. "If I ever find out that you insult Ji Wei again, I’ll tell your ex-husband about how you fooled around with that pretty boy before the divorce and made him wear a green hat." Ji Yunxiang stared at Gu Moqian with a face full of terror. She had kept this secret tightly under wraps. How did Gu Moqian know? If her abusive ex-husband ever found out that she’d not only cheated during their marriage but also demanded fifty million in severance during the divorce, he would definitely beat her half to death! "I don’t dare, I don’t dare... I’ll never dare again..." Ji Yunxiang’s body shook violently, like a sieve trembling in fear, her face completely drained of color. Gu Moqian was too terrifying. "Remember what you said," Gu Moqian stated without expression before viciously pushing Ji Yunxiang away. Ji Yunxiang’s overweight body couldn’t stabilize itself and collapsed to the floor, landing in an awkward heap. Only after the two figures had walked far away did Ji Yunxiang remain sprawled on the ground, too scared to get up. At that moment, she felt as if her soul had almost left her body. Ji Yunxiang finally understood that Gu Moqian was someone Ji Shanshan could never control or ever truly have. This man reserved all his gentleness for Ji Wei, while his treatment of those who bullied Ji Wei was utterly ruthless and cold. ... seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. At the front door, Chen Ke waited anxiously in front of the Maybach, glancing at his watch from time to time. There was an important video conference scheduled with collaborators in Europe at nine-thirty in the morning. If they were delayed, it would mean losses in the billions. Fortunately, a few minutes later, Gu Moqian and Ji Wei appeared. Chen Ke quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Good morning, Mr. Gu; good morning, Miss Ji." Immediately afterwards, he hurried to the car to open the door for Gu Moqian. Gu Moqian held Ji Wei’s hand, reluctant to let go. He gazed at her, his eyes soft and tender. "I should finish work around six and come back to pick you up, then take you somewhere." "Alright, I’ll wait for you at home." Gu Moqian was just bending down, about to get into the car, when he suddenly recalled something and walked back toward her. Ji Wei looked at him in surprise. "What’s wrong?" Gu Moqian gave a faint smile, lowered his head, and planted a kiss on her smooth forehead. Then, he reached out to stroke her hair. "Be good and wait for me to come back." Ji Wei gazed at him, her eyes shimmering with happiness. A man like Gu Moqian, cold and dignified, could utterly melt her heart whenever he showed tenderness. She watched as Gu Moqian got into the car and waved goodbye to him. Only once the car drove away did Ji Wei withdraw her gaze and walk back inside. Back in the living room, Ji Wei saw that Aunt Liu seemed to have just knocked on the study door. She couldn’t help but walk up to her and ask, "Is my dad in the study?" "Yes. Mr. Ji came home very late last night, and he drank quite a bit. I saw him go right into the study, and he hasn’t come out since. I’m a bit worried." "I’ll go in and check." Ji Wei spoke softly as she looked toward the study. Aunt Liu retrieved the key and opened the study door. The study was unlit, with the curtains blocking out most of the light. Ji Wei caught a glimpse of a figure leaning back in the swivel chair by the desk, seemingly still asleep. "Dad..." Ji Wei called out and walked toward Ji Yunli.
