Bai Qianmo slept soundly, and when she opened her eyes it was already dawn.

She quickly glanced around at her surroundings before realizing that Gu Jueye had brought her to the hospital yesterday.

In her half-awake state, it seemed as if someone was helping her and feeding her a glass of water.

Sitting up, Bai Qianmo looked around the ward and found that she was the only one in the room.

Was it just her imagination that someone was with her last night?

Just as I was thinking about it, the door opened with a click.

A familiar, handsome figure walked in.

"woke up?"

Bai Qianmo looked up and saw that Gu Jueye was still wearing the same white shirt as yesterday, with the cuffs casually rolled up and the shirt slightly wrinkled, but it did not diminish his noble and elegant demeanor.

Gu Jueye walked towards the bedside, carrying a paper bag in his hand.

"Are you hungry? I went downstairs and bought some breakfast. There are some new toiletries and a change of clothes in the bathroom. Come out and eat after you've washed up."

As he spoke, he opened the dining table on the hospital bed and placed the breakfast from the paper bag on it.

Millet porridge, pan-fried buns, and a poached egg.

Bai Qianmo glanced at the paper bag placed to the side. It was a brand chain breakfast shop, not particularly high-end, but the food tasted very good.

She could hardly imagine that this proud and wealthy man, dressed in an expensive custom-made suit, would be queuing up with ordinary people to buy breakfast.

That scene must have looked really out of place, right?

Bai Qianmo went into the bathroom to wash up first. On the washstand was a wash cup containing an unopened toothbrush and toothpaste. A clean towel was also folded on the shelf. All the toiletries had a girlish feel to them.

A warmth welled up in my heart.

Having traveled across the ocean to this unfamiliar city, this is the first time I've truly experienced the feeling of being cared for.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Bai Qianmo opened the bag that was placed to the side. Inside was a casual T-shirt and trousers.

Upon seeing this outfit, Bai Qianmo's expression slightly hardened.

She silently complained to herself about the straight man's aesthetic sense.

Although she was a little disgusted, she quickly changed into the outfit, casually tied her soft curly hair into a pretty ponytail, glanced at herself in the mirror, and saw that the white T-shirt and black pants looked clean and refreshing on her.

When Bai Qianmo came out, Gu Jueye was standing by the window making a phone call.

Hearing the noise, he turned his head to look, then turned back to continue his conversation on the phone.

There seemed to be a sense of urgency on the other end of the phone; Gu Jueye said he would be there promptly in an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jueye walked to the bedside and reached out to open the lunchbox.

He said in a deep voice, "The doctor said your tonsils are a bit inflamed, so you need to come to the hospital for IV drips on time these next few days."

After speaking, he looked up at Bai Qianmo and saw her staring at him. Suddenly, he smiled.

"Let's eat."

"Have you eaten?" Bai Qianmo sat on the edge of the bed, picked up her chopsticks, took a pan-fried bun, and ate it slowly.

"I've eaten. After you've finished your breakfast, I'll give you a ride home on my way."

Bai Qianmo remained silent. He always said it was on his way, but she knew that it was most likely not.

"No need, I'll go straight back to the company. It's not far from here, just a few bus stops away."

Gu Jueye's brow furrowed slightly, and he gave her a deep look: "Back to work?"

"Yes, I'm a trainee at Jiashang Media."

The man's eyes darkened slightly: "Want to enter the entertainment industry?"

Gu Jueye's question stumped Bai Qianmo for a moment.

She joined Jiashang Media only to secretly get close to Zhang Yafei. Yesterday, she helped that guy named Rong Yu out of a predicament, but her real purpose was to attract Zhang Yafei's attention.

Bai Qianmo knew that from the moment she appeared in Guo Qize's office, Zhang Yafei had regarded her as a rival in love.

This meant that she and Zhang Yafei were not suited to be friends, so she did the opposite and started by becoming her enemy, gradually getting closer to her.

"It's just for fun, I'm free anyway," Bai Qianmo replied nonchalantly.

Gu Jueye didn't ask any further questions. He knew in his heart that this girl's identity was definitely not simple. She was a student in the JQ Genius Class, but she pretended to be idle every day, which could only mean that her work was done in the dark and was not convenient for others to know.

After breakfast, Gu Jueye didn't give her a chance to refuse and sent her directly to Jiashang Media.

Because of the time constraint, Bai Qianmo thanked him and hurriedly got out of the car and left.

As she reached the entrance of the lobby, she stopped and turned to look at the street.

The black car remained in place, seemingly noticing her gaze, before slowly driving away.

Inside the car

The phone rang again

Gu Jueye pressed the answer button, and Qin Lin's displeased voice came from the other end.

"Yesterday was your grandparents' welcome dinner. The whole family was there except for you. Although the old folks didn't say anything on the surface, they must have had something on their minds."

"I heard from Uncle Wang that you took a girl to the hospital at the last minute? There's nothing wrong with taking someone to the hospital, but was it necessary for you to stay there all night?"

Despite hearing his mother's nagging, Gu Jueye's expression remained unchanged.

He rubbed his tired brows and eyes and replied casually.

“The little girl doesn’t have any reliable family. Now that I’ve sent her there, I definitely have to make sure she’s safe.”

Qin Lin frowned, looking surprised.

"Why have I never seen you so attentive to others before? Who is that girl? What does she do for a living?"

Hearing her son's words, Qin Lin felt a little worried.

She knew her son's personality better than anyone else; he was no loving young man.
