Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Betrayal by Loved Ones is the Most Fatal

She propped up her upper body and asked, "Where are we?"

"A five-star hotel next to the hot springs." Mo Qian replied, "You fell asleep while soaking in the hot springs, so I brought you here to let you sleep well."

Ji Wei glanced at the sky outside the window; the sunset was already about to dip below the horizon.

"It’s getting late; we should go back."

She was about to lift the quilt and get out of bed when she suddenly noticed she was wearing a brand new bathrobe, and she was petrified for a few seconds.

The bathrobe must have been changed by Mo Qian, which means when he took off the towel, he saw her wearing nothing underneath!

Ji Wei felt she no longer had the courage to face the man in front of her; she didn’t dare to look up, her face flushed with a rosy hue.

"What are you thinking?"

The man’s deep voice suddenly came closer, and Ji Wei suddenly looked up; if Mo Qian hadn’t dodged quickly, she might have bumped her forehead into him.

"Let’s... go back."

Ji Wei quickly covered her embarrassment, swiftly lifted the quilt, and then dashed into the bathroom.

On the way back, they still rode bicycles.

Ji Wei hugged the man’s waist, resting her head on his broad back, recalling the time they spent together that afternoon, and suddenly felt a bit sentimental, wishing she could hold on to those brief moments of happiness.

"Mo Qian, life is so unpredictable. Yesterday, I was trapped in the lake, nearly losing my life, and today we soaked in the hot springs and rode bicycles together. I really hope the good days can always stay good."

"They will." The man’s clear and gentle voice carried on the wind.

Ji Wei knew such thoughts were too naive and had to force herself back to reality: "But once we return, we’ll still have to face those unpredictable human hearts."

"You don’t have to worry about Ji Yunxiang’s matter; I have it under control."

"But that woman, after all, I called her ’aunt’. What kind of twisted soul would come at me with such brutality?" Ji Wei’s voice had a slight tremble.

Sometimes, it’s the betrayal of family that’s the most deadly.

"You found out?"

"Yes. From the things I heard my dad say in the living room, I knew the person scheming behind all this must be Ji Yunxiang. If she hadn’t done something unforgivable, you would have considered the fact that she’s from the Ji Family and wouldn’t have handed her over to the police without hesitation."

Mo Qian’s eyes slightly narrowed, pursing his thin lips in silence.

"I know, Ji Yunxiang did it all for Ji Shanshan. She’s been pampered in the Ji Family with all the luxuries, there’s no reason for her to want to completely destroy me."

Mo Qian suddenly slammed the brakes, stopping the bicycle.

He got off, walked directly to Ji Wei, gently pulled her into his arms, and stroked her fluffy hair: "Sorry, it’s my fault for not protecting you well, letting you fall into this perilous situation."

Ji Wei shook her head slightly: "Mo Qian, you have nothing to apologize for."

She looked up at him, her voice firm: "It’s okay, if anyone can’t stand me and wants to target me, let them come. I’m not that weak nor that easy to defeat; I will live more brilliantly and happily than any of them!"

"Yes. I promise that those who scheme in the dark will never dare to target you again; I will protect you well and never let you get hurt again."

Mo Qian’s voice sounded lightly, and in those deep eyes of his was the sharp and cold majesty of a superior.

Ji Wei stared at him, unable to speak for a long time.

Having such a husband who loves and protects her, even if the road ahead is fraught with difficulties, she does not regret living this life again.
