"Yes, you're right." Bai Qianmo didn't expose his intention.

The longer I know Bai Luoyu, the more I realize he's quite naive.

They clearly care, but they absolutely refuse to admit it.

Bai Luoyu glanced at Bai Qianmo through the rearview mirror and asked hastily, "Wasn't that Man Xueni originally planning to frame you and Wu Zouyang?"

"Hmm!" Bai Qianmo replied casually, not caring about those things at all.

I heard my phone ring and glanced at it.

Upon seeing a WeChat message, a smile flickered across his usually calm face.

Gu Jueye: "Little fairy, wanna have dinner?"

Bai Qianmo glanced at the time; it was already 9:30 PM, and he still hadn't eaten?

X (Unknown): "Just finished work?"

Gu Jueye: "Yeah, I'm really hungry now."

Gu Jueye sent a "pitiful" emoji!

Bai Qianmo frowned slightly.

X (unknown): "I've already eaten... It's so late, you should go eat."

After the message was sent, there was no reply.

"Hey, little crow, tell me honestly, does this have anything to do with Xi Ruo?"

With her long eyelashes trembling slightly, Bai Qianmo slowly lifted her eyelids to look at Bai Luoyu.

"I want to hear the truth." Bai Luoyu looked at her earnestly through the rearview mirror.

"You believe what I say?" Bai Qianmo scoffed.

"Since I asked you, I naturally believe what you say."

If it were in the past, he would undoubtedly choose to believe Xi Ruo if Bai Qianmo and Xi Ruo were to speak.

Because Xi Ruo is his brother and sister who grew up with him since childhood, and is a sister he considers to know very well.

But the conversation he overheard between Bai Qianmo and Xi Ruo at his doorstep that day completely shattered his impression of Xi Ruo.

During this period, he tried his best to avoid her, because every time he saw that innocent look and her obedient and kind image, the ruthless expression she had that night would keep replaying in his mind.

The car drove to the Bai family's old house

Bai Qianmo ultimately did not answer Bai Luoyu's question.

Bai Luoyu got out of the car and stood in front of her: "You don't believe me?"

Under the dim light of the street lamp at the entrance, Bai Qianmo slung the schoolbag she was carrying over her shoulder and then looked up to face Bai Luoyu.

"Bai Luoyu, I am a party involved. Even if I speak in a neutral way, my words are still suspected of being biased towards myself. If you really want to know, then go and investigate."

With a laugh, Bai Qianmo bypassed Bai Luoyu and went straight into the door.

Even though she knew perfectly well that Bai Xiruo was behind everything, it wasn't her style to gossip behind people's backs.

Moreover, given Bai Luoyu's abilities, if he really wanted to know Bai Xiruo's true colors, he had plenty of ways to investigate, without needing her to say anything more.

Bai Qianmo's words shocked Bai Luoyu.

He thought that once he asked, the little crow would be eager to tell him all about Xi Ruo's actions.

But she didn't say a word, and her attitude made him think she was a very good person.

Back home

The phone rang.

Gu Jueye: Then I'll just have a cup of instant noodles to tide me over.

Bai Qianmo frowned, remembering that on the two previous visits to the research institute, she had seen a large amount of instant noodles in the kitchen.

Although she knew that Gu Jueye was deliberately playing the victim, she still felt a little bad thinking about how busy he was with work every day and how he only ate instant noodles.

Is it out of heartache?

Asking herself a question, Bai Qianmo stood by the bed in a daze for a while, then picked up her phone and went out.

As I walked into the courtyard, I ran into Xu Hualan.

"Qianmo, are you going out again?"

Bai Qianmo originally wanted to sneak out, but when she ran into Xu Hualan, she looked slightly embarrassed.

"I made plans with my friends to have a late-night snack."

Xu Hualan smiled knowingly: "Friends or boyfriend?"

Bai Qianmo's cheeks flushed pink, and finally her ears turned red: "Boyfriend."

"It seems you two have officially started dating. Go ahead, and be careful on the road."

After waving goodbye to Xu Hualan, Bai Qianmo left the alley and hailed a car at the intersection.

"Boss, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now."

Gu Jueye stared intently at the documents without looking up.

"Go."

Yuanyou noticed that it was already so late, and the boss still showed no sign of wanting to eat.

"How about I order takeout for you?"

"No need, I'm not hungry right now."

"Okay, we'll be going now."

Yuanyou and Chuyi went downstairs together.

"Did the boss only have breakfast today?"

Chu Yi thought for a moment and said, "You brought breakfast. He went into the lab this morning and hasn't come out until now."

Yuan You sighed, "How can the boss have so much time to work while he's in a relationship? Is Miss Bai a workaholic too?"

Chu Yi shook his head: "If you don't know, how would I know?"

Yuan You suddenly remembered something and took out his phone: "I'll call Miss Bai."

"Call Miss Bai?"

“Your boyfriend hasn’t eaten properly all day, Miss Bai, as his girlfriend, shouldn’t you…” Yuan You raised his eyebrows, a sly smile flashing in his eyes.

"Then what are we waiting for? Send it now! Miss Bai is here, the boss will definitely eat obediently!"

Bai Qianmo had the driver stop at a Chinese restaurant not far from the research institute. She selected two dishes that Gu Jueye liked, a bowl of rice, and a soup, ordering three servings of the set meal.

While waiting for my food, my phone suddenly rang.
