Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 910: Could She Actually Be His Illegitimate Daughter?!

In just an instant, Gu Moqian’s expression returned to normal. He pulled out a chair and sat down, responding lightly, "Alright, I understand."

Ji Wei pursued the matter, "Do you know that Miss Zhao?"

Judging from Gu Moqian’s lack of surprise, he should know Zhao Wanfang.

The woman’s bright eyes looked over at him, clearly hoping to get more information from him. Knowing that her curiosity had been piqued and she wouldn’t let it go easily, Gu Moqian had to face her question and answered, "Not well, I only know that she is Zhao Wanqing’s mother."

After speaking, he picked up a knife and fork and gracefully began cutting the steak on his plate.

Ji Wei watched his hands in motion, her mind suddenly short-circuited for several seconds, feeling it was too unbelievable!

Zhao Wanfang is actually Zhao Wanqing’s mother, which means she’s also her aunt...

"Are you telling the truth?" Ji Wei still found it hard to believe.

Gu Moqian raised his eyes to look at her, "I wouldn’t lie to you, Weiwei."

Ji Wei carefully recalled that at the hospital, Zhao Wanfang’s expression did indeed have some oddness when looking at her. It seemed Zhao Wanfang already knew her identity but didn’t say anything due to Nan Huiru being present.

But why does Nan Huiru hate Zhao Wanfang so much?

"Eat the steak first, it won’t taste good if it’s cold." Seeing the young woman still in a daze, Gu Moqian spoke up, while reaching out to switch the pre-cut steak in front of him to her plate.

Every time they ate steak in the past, Gu Moqian would always cut it for her first, and this habit surprisingly hadn’t changed.

The cuff of the white shirt the man wore revealed a section as he switched the plates. The pale skin of his wrist, highlighted by the silver watch, exuded a noble and elegant aura, showcasing his full temperament.

Ji Wei was dumbstruck by the sight, her heartbeat inexplicably quickened a few beats.

The steak was cooked to perfection. After eating a few bites, she suddenly asked again, "It seems like Mom has a very bad relationship with that Miss Zhao... Is it because of Dad?"

Seeing Gu Moqian’s expression suddenly change, Ji Wei somewhat regretted bringing up such a sensitive topic.

But the question was already out, and she couldn’t take it back.

She gripped the knife and fork tightly, looking somewhat nervously at the man across from her. Gu Moqian abruptly raised his hand and loosened his tie, seemingly feeling hot, then leaned his upright body back against the chair.

He lifted his deep gaze and glanced at Ji Wei for a moment, his lips pressed together.

Ji Wei sensed that the atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and her palms turned sweaty. She licked her lips, mustering the courage to say, "I was just asking casually, you don’t have to tell me."

She tried to pull up the corners of her mouth, then forked a piece of steak into her mouth, "Mm! The steak my husband cuts always tastes the best!" she praised without any reservation.

The man’s eyes across from her were deep and somewhat inscrutable.

The more silent he was, the more Ji Wei uncontrollably let her mind wander.

Could it really be that Zhao Wanfang and Gu Zhizhou... And also, Gu Zhizhou has always kept Zhao Wanqing at the Gu Family, even having her serve as his only private secretary...

Could Zhao Wanqing actually be his illegitimate daughter?!

Ji Wei was startled by her own thoughts, and before she knew it, the knife and fork in her hand dropped to the floor with a clang.

"Madam, are you alright? I’ll get you a new set of cutlery." The maid beside her noticed and quickly walked over to pick up the knife and fork, asking with concern.

Ji Wei shook her head with a pale face, "I’m fine..."

The woman was clearly somewhat absent-minded, and Gu Moqian’s expression became even more serious.

When the maid brought Ji Wei new cutlery, he suddenly spoke in a deep voice, "Feili, you can leave now."

Noticing Gu Moqian’s stern expression, the maid named Feili didn’t dare to make a sound, quickly bowed her head respectfully, and exited the dining room.
