“I bought some groceries, they’re in the car. I’ll just grab your backpack too.”

Bai Qianmo then realized that when Gu Jueye went to the Bai family's old house to find her, he had already planned to stay there.

Gu Jueye got up and left, while Bai Qianmo stood in front of the French windows and looked down.

Soon, his figure came into view.

She watched as he opened the trunk, pulled out a large bag, and then opened the back door to take out her schoolbag.

Just as he was about to leave after closing the car door, he seemed to remember something, glanced back at the driver's seat, opened the driver's side door, took something out and put it in his pocket, then picked up the bag and returned.

Gu Jueye went up to the second floor, and Bai Qianmo glanced curiously at his somewhat bulging coat pockets.

What's in your pocket?

Gu Jueye paused for a moment, staring at Bai Qianmo with his deep eyes for a few seconds before placing the shopping bag and backpack on the coffee table beside him.

He walked over and sat down beside her, smiled, put his arm around her waist, and gently lifted her up, easily letting the little girl sit on his lap.

"Want to know?"

Seeing the ambiguous glint in his eyes, Bai Qianmo vaguely sensed that he wasn't a good person.

"No, let's go cook. You cook, and I'll help."

Bai Qianmo jumped off Gu Jueye's lap as if she had been electrocuted, grabbed the shopping bags, and ran into the kitchen.

Gu Jueye smiled, said nothing, took off his coat and put it aside, then got up and followed him into the kitchen.

"Should I bring this?" Bai Qianmo opened the cupboard and took out an apron.

Gu Jueye slowly unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, rolled up the sleeves to his elbows with his slender hands, and glanced at Bai Qianmo.

"Please bring it for me."

Bai Qianmo, holding an apron, walked up to Gu Jueye, holding the apron straps in both hands. Gu Jueye cooperated by bending down and letting her put the apron around her neck.

Then, Bai Qianmo went around behind Gu Jueye and tied the rope around her waist.

What do you need to do?

"Keep it simple, pasta will do."

Bai Qianmo's lips twitched. In her eyes, the only thing that could be considered simple was instant noodles.

Gu Jueye is truly a culinary expert; in no time at all, two delicious-looking pasta dishes were placed on the table.

Bai Qianmo had eaten a little something at the Bai family's house that evening, but after smelling the aroma, she couldn't resist the temptation.

"Try it."

Bai Qianmo couldn't wait to pick up her fork and take a bite. Her little face immediately lit up with excitement: "Delicious!"

Gu Jueye picked up the water glass beside him, took a slow sip, and his deep gaze never left Bai Qianmo. Watching her eat with relish, a satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face.
