There was silence inside. Bai Xin frowned, wondering what Gu Yuan was thinking. She turned to the side and pricked up her ear, almost pressing it against the crack in the door, hoping to hear something from inside.

A few minutes later, the door suddenly opened from the inside. Bai Xin, who had been pressed against the crack in the door, missed her target and stumbled, crashing hard into Gu Yuan's chest.

She could clearly feel the chilling aura emanating from Gu Yuan gradually transferring to her, making her as cold as him.

Bai Xin broke out in a cold sweat. She then straightened up from Gu Yuan's chest and handed him the mung bean soup she had just made.

She said timidly, "Mr. Gu, please have some first."

Gu Yuan glanced coldly at the mung bean soup, then said indifferently, "Weren't you going to give me your passport?"

Bai Xin paused for a second, then said, "You drink first, and I'll give you some after you drink it."

Gu Yuan looked at her calmly, his face expressionless, but the calmer he was, the more guilty Bai Xin felt, because behind the calm surface lay a turbulent undercurrent.

Gu Yuan slowly stepped aside, making way for Bai Xin.

Feeling guilty, she carried the soup inside. As planned, she pretended to stumble and spilled the mung bean soup on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan frowned as he watched his clothes gradually get soaked, his eyes darkening.

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Bai Xin pretended to be extremely panicked and looked at Gu Yuan's clothes. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I didn't mean to. Why don't you change and I'll wash it for you?"

Gu Yuan remained silent with a cold expression. Bai Xin tentatively rubbed against his clothes and soon took them off.

Bai Xin pretended to check where the clothes were wet, and secretly reached into Gu Yuan's pocket. After touching something heavy, she slowly withdrew her hand and quietly put it into her sleeve. The whole process was completely seamless, and Gu Yuan did not notice anything amiss.

"Did you do this on purpose?" Gu Yuan suddenly asked in a cold voice.

"No... I just accidentally..." Bai Xin quickly explained, feeling wronged.

Gu Yuan turned around, walked to the table, sat down, and continued working on his computer.

Bai Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Gu Yuan didn't notice her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get his phone so easily.

After Bai Xin got the phone, she couldn't unlock it and couldn't see anything on it. She tried entering Gu Yuan's birthday, but the answer was wrong. She then tried her own birthday, but the answer was still wrong.

Bai Xin felt certain that the password must be Fu Hange's birthday, but she had never paid attention to her birthday and had no way of knowing it.

Then Fu Hange called. Bai Xin wanted to answer, but then she was afraid that the sound would let Gu Yuan know, so she put his phone on silent. She didn't answer any of the subsequent calls. Finally, she got annoyed and turned off her phone.

After doing all this, Bai Xin felt only pain. She figured Fu Hange must be furious by now. Gu Yuan wasn't answering her calls, and it was obvious what a woman would think.

Suddenly, Bai Xin couldn't help but remember that Fu Hange used to be a manager of the Xu Group, and there should be her birthday information online. With that thought, she immediately opened Baidu and searched for information about Fu Hange.

The moment the lock screen finally unlocked, Bai Xin almost screamed. She sent a text message to Fu Hange using Gu Yuan's phone, stating her current location and urging her to come find Gu Yuan as soon as possible.
