After finishing up at the company, it was already past 8 p.m.

The phone rang, and Bai Qianmo immediately answered it when she saw the caller ID.

"Hello, Attorney He."

"Qianmo, the court has officially accepted our lawsuit today. The media outlets we sued have a consistent attitude. In addition to sincerely apologizing, they are willing to accept reasonable compensation. Jia'ai has dismissed Song Qingqing directly. As the main defendant, Song Qingqing will go to court for trial tomorrow. Her lawyer also said that everything will be handled in accordance with the court procedures."

"I'm very confident in having you handle this matter. Let's proceed according to procedure."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Qianmo left the company. Rong Yi was waiting outside the company. When he saw Bai Qianmo come out of the building and get out of the car, he respectfully opened the back door.

"Miss Bai, please get in the car."

These past few evenings, if Gu Jueye wasn't busy, he would personally come to pick her up after get off work. If he didn't have time, he would have Rong Yi pick her up and take her home, which saved her the cost of a taxi.

Back in the apartment complex, Rong Yi escorted Bai Qianmo downstairs: "Miss Bai, please go upstairs by yourself. I have other things to take care of, so I won't see you up."

Bai Qianmo nodded, opened the car door, and got out.

After watching Bai Qianmo enter the building, Rong Yi started the car and drove away.

At the elevator entrance, Bai Qianmo unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

The other person was carrying large and small bags, and their expression was particularly varied when they saw Bai Qianmo.

Ji Cong'an looked Bai Qianmo up and down, and asked curiously, "Are you here to see the Duke?"

Bai Qianmo then remembered that Ji Cong'an also seemed to live in this building.

"I'm going home."

Going home? Ji Cong'an looked surprised: "You moved here too? Which floor do you live on?"

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Bai Qianmo walked in, followed hurriedly by Ji Cong'an.

Bai Qianmo pressed the button for the 17th floor, and Ji Cong'an raised an eyebrow: "What a coincidence, I live upstairs from you, and the Duke lives upstairs from me!"

Bai Qianmo tugged at the corners of her lips but didn't say anything.

He thought to himself, "He also lives on the 17th floor now."

"When did you move here? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? I could have helped you move."

"We've been here for quite a while now."

Seeing that they were almost on the 17th floor, Ji Cong'an hurriedly said, "I bought hot pot ingredients, do you want to eat together?"

Bai Qianmo glanced down at the large bag Ji Cong'an was carrying, and then remembered that she hadn't eaten dinner.

"Invite the Duke as well, as a celebration of your housewarming."

"Okay." She also happened to want to eat hot pot.

"Would you like to go to my place or yours?"

"It will be all right."

Ji Cong'an thought for a moment: "Do you have a pot over there?"

Bai Qianmo nodded.

"Since this is to celebrate your housewarming, let's go to your place."

Ji Cong'an made his decision, and Bai Qianmo couldn't say anything more. It was already past nine o'clock at night, and Gu Jueye should have gone home by now.

The two of them stepped out of the elevator side by side. Bai Qianmo opened the door and pushed it open. Sure enough, the lights in the room were on.

"You forgot to turn off the lights when you left, didn't you?"

Ji Cong'an, acting as if they were old friends, walked into the room first, and Bai Qianmo followed closely behind after closing the door.

"I'll put the ingredients in the kitchen first. You can call the Duke later and ask him to..." Before he could finish speaking, a handsome and refined figure walked out of the bedroom.

Ji Cong'an felt as if he had been electrocuted. His lips twitched. He glanced at Bai Qianmo, then at Gu Jueye, and finally his gaze fell on Gu Jueye's pajamas and slightly damp hair.

Are they living together?

"You're back." Gu Jueye glanced at Ji Cong'an indifferently, then turned his gaze to Bai Qianmo.

"Yes, I saw Young Master An downstairs. He said he wanted to celebrate my housewarming." Bai Qianmo explained why Ji Cong'an was here in the simplest terms.

Gu Jueye nodded: "Put the ingredients in the kitchen, I'll go change my clothes and come out to help."

Ji Cong'an delivered the ingredients to the kitchen. Gu Jueye changed into his pajamas and saw Bai Qianmo carrying a newly bought hot pot to the dining room.

"I heard from Rongyi today that you saved a child?"

Bai Qianmo wasn't surprised that Gu Jueye knew about this. Rong Yi was secretly protecting her, and he knew everything she did every day, so he would definitely report to Gu Jueye on time.

"Yes, I met him at a fried chicken restaurant. A group of kidnappers wanted to take him away, and the director I was discussing a collaboration with happened to step in to stop them, so I helped out."

Gu Jueye smiled and said, "The descendants of the Wei family, this help was well worth it."

"Indeed, even someone who casually saves a child turns out to be someone with a significant background."

Gu Jueye's narrow phoenix eyes curved into a smile: "Want to enter Jinling Hall?"

Bai Qianmo thought for a moment: "It would be best if I could get in, but I heard that Jinling Hall has a very high threshold. As the owner of a small, newly established company, I may not be qualified to get in."

Gu Jueye reached out and took Bai Qianmo's hand, noticing that her palm was icy cold. He subconsciously frowned and asked, "Why are your hands so cold?"

Bai Qianmo smiled nonchalantly: "It's the dead of winter, and it's normal for my hands to be cold after coming back from outside."

Gu Jueye cupped her small hands in his palms and held them tightly.

"It's not difficult to get into Jinling Hall. I'll just give the Wei family a heads-up, and there shouldn't be any problems."

Bai Qianmo shook her head firmly: "Although I really want to lean on my boyfriend's arms when I'm tired, in the workplace, I still hope to make a name for myself through my own abilities."

"My little girl is so independent?" Gu Jueye held her hand affectionately and kissed it gently.

Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Otherwise what?"
