Ji Wei answered honestly, "Mm, I can't bear to let you go."
As she spoke, she tightened her grip around his strong waist, resting her head against his broad chest, holding him closely.
"Seeing you like this makes it hard for me to leave you here alone," Gu Moqian said, looking down at the woman in his arms.
Ji Wei's eyes lit up at his words and she looked up excitedly. "If it's so hard for you, then take me with you. I've always wanted to visit Japan anyway. I heard autumn at Mount Fuji is breathtaking..."
Gu Moqian pressed his thin lips together, falling into a brief silence for a few seconds.
If it were any other business trip, he would have agreed without hesitation. But this time was different.
He might have to confront Ji Chuyang directly, and on top of that, there were ties to the Japanese underworld. He would never allow her to risk such dangers alongside him.
