Qin Lin said with dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you discuss such a big matter with your parents?"

"I'm 27 years old. Do I need my elders' permission to date? Surely you two aren't that domineering and controlling?"

Qin Lin: "..."

This guy is good at using flattery to kill, he can shut someone up with just one sentence. If she says right now that she doesn't approve of him being with Bai Qianmo, wouldn't she be the kind of person he calls a master at dealing with domineering people?

Qin Lin felt a surge of anger welling up inside her, with nowhere to vent it.

How could she have given birth to such a son who's always going against her! It's infuriating...

After Gu Jueye left, Ye Qianning followed him out.

"Ah Ye!" Ye Qianning jogged up to catch up.

Gu Jueye stopped and turned to look at Ye Qianning.

"Is there anything else?"

Ye Qianning's smile froze slightly: "Your girlfriend is... Bai Qianmo?"

Gu Jueye nodded without hesitation: "I took her to meet her friends this afternoon, and we agreed to pick her up to go home together tonight. It's almost time, and I'm afraid the little girl will be anxious if she doesn't see me, so I won't take you home. Someone from the Gu family will take you home later."

Meeting Gu Jueye's distant and unapproachable gaze, Ye Qianning struggled to maintain her stiff smile.

"She was with you when we talked on the phone last night, wasn't she?"

The noise she heard on the phone last night, and Gu Jueye's abrupt hanging up without any explanation, gave her a pretty good idea of ​​what had happened.

Hearing it from Gu Jueye's own mouth made the stabbing pain in his heart even more intense.

Gu Jueye gave a meaningful smile but offered no explanation.

Ye Qianning's heart sank to the bottom.

With a bitter smile, Ye Qianning said with resentment, "I don't understand, what's so good about Bai Qianmo? Why do you only have eyes for her and in your heart? I was the one who met you first, so why, why is it her and not me?"

Gu Jueye's gaze fell lightly on Ye Qianning's face. After a moment of silence, his deep voice drifted over with the cold autumn night wind.

"She doesn't need to be good in any way, as long as it's her!"

Bai Qianmo returned to Beilian Shopping Mall and immediately called Xia Wei.

"Has everything been resolved?" Xia Wei asked with concern.

"Yes, I just finished it. I'm sorry I left before I could even finish a meal with you today."

"It's okay, it's just a meal. There's plenty of time later. I just got back to the Guo family home. Luckily, Mr. Guo isn't here. I'm watching cartoons with Xiaomidou."

Bai Qianmo suddenly remembered something: "By the way, when do you plan to resign?"

Xia Wei glanced at the little dumpling beside her, feeling a pang of reluctance. "I don't dare to talk to Mr. Guo about resigning alone. After thinking it over, I've decided to go directly to Butler Guo. In any case, Butler Guo handles all the personnel arrangements in this household. If I bother Mr. Guo over such a small matter, he'll definitely look down on me even more."

Bai Qianmo smiled noncommittally after hearing Xia Wei's words: "You can decide for yourself. If you really resign, I do have a good job I'd like to introduce to you."

"Really? What do you do?"

Bai Qianmo glanced around and saw a familiar car slowly approaching: "I'll invite you out for dinner another day, and we can talk about it then. I'll hang up now!"

"Okay." Xia Wei sighed after hanging up the phone.

"Sister Xia!"

Xia Wei looked at the little dough ball beside her; the little guy was staring at her with his big, bright black eyes.

With a forced smile, Xia Wei reached out and pinched his round, chubby little face.

"Are you going to sleep?"

"You're not sleeping, keep watching!"

Xia Wei glanced at the time: "It's already nine o'clock, it's time to go to sleep. How about we see again tomorrow?"

The little guy tilted his head and stared at Xia Wei without responding, just staring at her intently.

Xia Wei was taken aback by the gaze: "What? You really don't want to sleep?"

The little guy nodded. Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, Xia Wei glanced outside the door. Mr. Guo usually came home very late, so he probably wouldn't be home at this time.

Why do I feel like I'm doing something wrong when I play with Xiaomidou?

"Well... you can only watch one more episode."

"Okay!" the little guy said in a sweet, childish voice. With his incredibly cute face, Xia Wei couldn't help but pinch his cheeks again.

Butler Guo walked over and saw Xia Wei pinching the young master's face. He frowned and looked at Xia Wei with a meaningful expression.

The young master has never liked to talk and dislikes others getting close to him.

He even seemed distant when facing his own biological father, yet somehow he was so affectionate towards Miss Xia.

In front of Miss Xia, the young master was like a completely different person.

"Butler Guo!" Xia Wei saw Butler Guo standing not far away staring at them, so she quickly got up to greet him.

"Miss Xia, it's time for the young master to go to sleep. I've warmed a glass of milk; please let him drink it."

"Okay, little darling, come and drink your milk." Xia Wei ran to Butler Guo's side, picked up the milk, and waved to the little guy.

A look of disgust flashed across the little guy's innocent face, but when he saw Xia Wei waving at him, he put his little hands on his sides, jumped off the sofa, and ran to Xia Wei's side.

Xia Wei handed over half a glass of milk. The little guy held the glass in his little hands, took a deep breath, and drank it down in big gulps.

Butler Guo looked at his young master with surprise, and then couldn't help but glance at Xia Wei again.
