If we fire them, it’d be hard to find suitable replacements in a short time. So it’s better to let them stay in their positions for now."

She paused, her clear black and white eyes sparkling with spirit: "This is your Gu Family enterprise, and I won’t allow it to suffer any unnecessary losses."

"So, does that mean I should thank Mrs. Gu for keeping such a close eye on the Gu Family for me?" Gu Moqian teased as he pinched her delicate cheek.

"Hmm, you should thank me. Let me think... What kind of thank-you gift should I ask for?" Ji Wei touched her chin, looking as if she were seriously contemplating.

"Do you even need to think? I’m right here, all yours."

Gu Moqian’s eyes crinkled with laughter as he spoke. His last two words were said softly, his lips close to her ear, his warm breath making Ji Wei blush all the way to her neck, leaving her feeling flustered and short of breath.

"I... my period is here, so you can’t do anything anyway," Ji Wei stammered, her face glowing red.

Gu Moqian’s smile deepened. "So what you’re saying is, if it weren’t here, we could do something here?"
