CHAPTER 614: CHAPTER 614: GO AHEAD AND HIT ME, I WON’T FIGHT BACK

Jin Qichuan’s Mercedes drove away from the villa gates first, with the Maybach tailing closely behind.

But after driving for only a short distance, the Maybach suddenly accelerated and cut in front of the Mercedes, forcefully blocking the road and successfully bringing it to a halt.

Gu Moqian pushed open the car door and strode back toward the Mercedes, his long legs wrapped in tailored suit pants moving with purpose.

Jin Qichuan noticed and his gaze faltered momentarily. His defined fingers clenched around the car lock.

"Brother, don’t get out—" Jin Xin’s words were barely finished when Jin Qichuan quickly opened the car door and stepped out.

Jin Xin saw the two men standing a few meters away by the roadside, their gazes locked. Even the surrounding air seemed heavy and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

Jin Xin nervously tightened her fists, quickly feeling sweat gathering in her palms.

The two hadn’t stood face-to-face like this for many years. Jin Qichuan still remembered how, in their youth, every time he visited his grandmother’s house, he’d see Gu Moqian. Back then, their relationship was good.

Because they were of similar age and shared common interests, they always had endless topics to discuss.

But after that incident, Gu Moqian’s gaze toward Jin Qichuan always carried hostility. The harmonious relationship between the cousins had turned into estrangement. Over the years, Jin Qichuan had been focused on his career, while Gu Moqian went abroad to study, making encounters between them increasingly rare.

Even at the last birthday banquet of the matriarch at the Gu Family’s old residence, the two had zero interaction.

Now, with Gu Moqian suddenly blocking his car, Jin Qichuan had a vague idea of the reason.

Gu Moqian’s cold, stern eyes held repressed anger as he spoke with a warning, "I hope this is the last time you appear in front of my wife."

So it was because of Ji Wei, after all.

Jin Qichuan’s expression remained gentle, but a hint of defiance lingered in his eyes. He spoke slowly, "I’m sorry, I can’t do that."

His tone was even, yet unwavering.

"Jin Qichuan, don’t push your luck!" Gu Moqian’s anger deepened in his gaze. He suddenly grabbed Jin Qichuan’s collar, his grip tightening.

Jin Qichuan felt the pressure around his neck, making him short of breath. His pale face flushed slightly.

He knew he couldn’t beat Gu Moqian in a fight. He had learned that as a child.

Thus, his hands hung by his sides, unmoving, but the defiance and unyielding determination in his dark gaze made a silent stand.

There’s nothing wrong with loving someone.

Ji Wei was married—he knew he had no chance to spend the rest of his life with her. But that didn’t mean he would give up. He would rather silently watch over her for eternity, placing her in the most sacred corner of his heart, cherishing her like a priceless treasure.

Is that really crossing a line?

In the car, Jin Xin stared at them without blinking. Seeing that the situation was escalating, she could no longer sit still and quickly pushed open the car door, rushing over.

Jin Qichuan’s calm demeanor completely enraged Gu Moqian. His fist swung toward Jin Qichuan’s face without hesitation.

Jin Qichuan took the punch squarely, letting out a muffled sound of pain. A faint metallic taste of blood quickly spread in his mouth.

He raised his hand to wipe the trace of blood from the corner of his lips, his gaze still stubbornly fixed on Gu Moqian. "Hit me as much as you want—I won’t fight back."

"You think I won’t?"

Seeing Gu Moqian ready to strike again, Jin Xin hurried to block Jin Qichuan, shielding him. "Whatever it is, talk it out. Why do you have to resort to violence?"

"Move aside."

Gu Moqian’s voice was icy as he ordered, radiating an ominous aura that made Jin Xin instinctively swallow hard.

She forced herself to meet his gaze, steeling her nerves. "Isn’t it because of what happened back then that you hold a grudge against my brother? Let me tell you, back then my brother—"

"Jin Xin!" Jin Qichuan’s brows furrowed sharply as he interrupted her loudly.
