2 PM

Gu Jueye made a phone call and then left the third-floor lounge.

A few minutes later, he came back carrying a white paper bag.

Bai Qianmo was sitting cross-legged on the cashmere rug in front of the sofa, her head buried in the coffee table, continuing to write something intently.

Seeing the paper bag Gu Jueye was carrying, she glanced at it curiously.

"Your clothes have been sent to the dry cleaners and won't be delivered until after 4 p.m. I've had someone pick out a dress for you."

Buy her clothes again?

She vaguely sensed that Gu Jueye really loved buying her clothes.

Curious, she reached out and opened the paper bag. Inside was a beautifully packaged paper box. Bai Qianmo placed the box on the coffee table in front of her and slowly opened it. Inside was a long red dress.

Bai Qianmo's eyes lit up, and she looked at Gu Jueye with some surprise: "A dress?"

Goodness, has this man finally seen the light?

Take the skirt out and examine it carefully.

A hint of amazement appeared on Bai Qianmo's beautiful face.

The dress is a long tulle dress with lantern sleeves and an off-the-shoulder design. It has no fussy embellishments, but you can tell from the design and workmanship that this dress is definitely not cheap.

Most importantly, this dress is perfect for her first time shooting a preview video today. It's simpler than a formal gown, yet still dignified.

Based on Gu Jueye's usual straight-male perspective, he probably wouldn't have liked this kind of sexy and alluring style, so this dress probably wasn't chosen by him personally.

Gu Jueye took out a smaller silver box from the paper bag.

Upon opening the box, I found a pair of pointed-toe camel-colored high heels. The style was exquisite and elegant, and they matched the dress perfectly.

Bai Qianmo stared at the man in front of her with some surprise. If he had such good taste, why did he always buy her sportswear before?

"Put it on and let me see."

"good!"

Bai Qianmo picked up her clothes and shoes and walked excitedly back to her bedroom. A moment later, the bedroom door was gently opened.

A fiery red figure slowly walked out in five-centimeter high heels. Bai Qianmo was already tall, and the length of her dress was just up to her ankles. Paired with a pair of pointed-toe high heels that exposed her instep, the exposed skin looked as crystal clear as jade.

Gu Jueye leaned against the sofa, propping his head up with one hand. When he saw Bai Qianmo walk out, a look of amazement flashed in his deep eyes.

Ever since he saw her look as Nie Wuxin in "The Legend of Phoenix", he knew that red was made for her.

"Is it pretty?" Bai Qianmo stood in front of Gu Jueye, looking at him with a tender and expectant gaze.

"So beautiful!" Absolutely stunning.

Gu Jueye stood up, hugged the little girl in front of him, and sighed softly in a deep voice.

"What should I do? I'm starting to regret it!"

"Huh?" Bai Qianmo blinked, not understanding the meaning behind Gu Jueye's words for a moment.

Gu Jueye raised his hand and gently rubbed her smooth cheek: "I want to hide you from view right now."

Bai Qianmo felt her heart pounding. Gu Jueye's words were worth a hundred compliments.

"Mr. Gu, has anyone ever told you that you're good at flirting?"

"tease?"

"It means you're good at making girls happy," Bai Qianmo explained.

Gu Jueye chuckled softly: "I'm very happy to be praised like this by Miss Bai, but so far, no other woman has said such a thing besides you."

Bai Qianmo: "..."

Although she didn't want to admit it, she was still very pleased to hear that answer.

Gu Jueye was busy with work in the afternoon and did not personally see her off.

However, he did not forget to arrange for a trusted confidant to personally escort her to the television station.

Bai Qianmo walked to the outside of the research institute, where the middle-aged man was already standing by the car and politely opened the back door.

"Miss Bai, please get in the car."

Bai Qianmo glanced at the other person: "Easy?"

Rong Yi glanced at Bai Qianmo and explained with a smile, "It's the 'rong' in 'downy' or 'fluid', not the 'rong' in 'easy'."

Bai Qianmo said apologetically, "I'm sorry."

Because of their similar timbre, it is easy for people to misunderstand each other.

Rong Yi shrugged helplessly: "It's okay, I'm used to it."

He was also very curious about what his father was thinking at the time.

Why is the surname "Rong" so bad? It has to be combined with the character "Yi". Anyone who has heard his name will associate it with the word "easy".

Thinking about it, I felt a pang of sadness. He's had such a tough time all these years...

A hospital in Beijing

A minivan was parked at the back door, and Bai Xiruo, Han Songyan, and Zhou Mei walked out of the hospital's back door.

The two assistants waiting by the car glanced around to make sure there were no paparazzi nearby, then immediately opened the car door and let the three of them in.

After getting into the car, Zhou Mei said, "Recently, there have been many reporters disguised near the hospital. Yesterday, the security guard on duty at the hospital said that two people who looked like reporters had inquired about Xi Ruo's ward. Fortunately, the hospital's security measures are quite good, and they immediately informed us after learning about the situation."

Bai Xiruo was wearing a black wide-brimmed hat, and her face was covered by a mask of the same color, making her completely covered up.

Upon hearing Zhou Mei's words, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

The image she had maintained in the public eye collapsed instantly, while Bai Qianmo, that bitch, was doing very well.

If it weren't for Han Songyan's strong support, the "The Phoenix's Journey" production team would have had to urgently replace the female lead. She has always been someone envied by others since childhood, and she has never received such treatment before.

Her heart was filled with hatred for Bai Qianmo; all that she had suffered was caused by Bai Qianmo.

"How are the preparations for tomorrow's press conference going?" Han Songyan asked in a deep voice.
