"Oh, got it."
Ji Wei's tone didn't sound very cheerful.
"You seem a bit reluctant?"
Gu Moqian's smile deepened.
"No, no... just being able to go out is already a blessing, how could I dare to be unwilling."
The little woman was clearly saying one thing but meaning another.
"Why do I feel like you're blaming me for restricting your freedom?" Gu Moqian said lightly.
"Not at all... Mo Qian, everything you do is for my own good. I understand." Ji Wei suddenly sped up her speech. "You must be really busy right now, so I'll stop taking up your time. Bye-bye!"
She hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.
Gu Moqian slowly put his phone away. Thinking of Ji Wei's somewhat begrudging and conflicted expression in that moment, he couldn't help but curve his lips into a faint smile.
Still, her purpose in calling specifically to ask permission to go to the café might not be solely about coffee.
Just to be safe...
