"Xu Changchong has a scar on the left side of his chest."

Bai Qianmo subconsciously looked down at the man's chest.

Gu Jueye glanced at her, then slowly unbuttoned his shirt. When he unbuttoned the third button, a patch of delicate, fair skin was revealed before his eyes.

He ripped open his shirt, revealing his left chest.

There was a clear scar about the size of a thumb pad on it, clearly a gunshot wound.

"When I saw the scar on my body, I quickly realized that I am Gu Jueye, but this body belongs to Xu Changchong."

"So, your consciousness traveled through time and space? What about your body?"

"Perhaps it has already become one of the corpses in the tomb of the King of Qi."

Bai Qianmo's heart tightened. Although she knew that Fifth Brother and Gu Jueye were the same person, she still felt uneasy about the fact that Gu Jueye's body was already dead.

Suddenly, she thought of a question that she cared about a lot.

"Fifth Brother, you've lived for over a hundred years, and you lived during the warlord era. Did you marry and have children?"

With Fifth Brother's looks and abilities, any woman who has seen him would want to have his babies, right?

Moreover, it was normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines in those days. Did Fifth Brother never meet a woman he liked?

Gu Jueye stared intently at the girl in front of him.

Looking at the face before him stirred up his deepest memories.

"I've been married."

When Bai Qianmo heard Gu Jueye admit that he had been married, her heart skipped a beat.

"What kind of person is your wife? What kind of woman is she...?"

Gu Jueye seemed to see through her thoughts at a glance, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"She is an exceptionally intelligent and wise person. It is my great fortune to have met her and married her."

Bai Qianmo maintained a calm expression, but her heart was filled with unease.

He cursed himself inwardly for being so talkative. Why did he have to ask his wife? Wasn't he just asking for trouble?

Although the other person had been dead for many years, the thought that Fifth Brother had once deeply loved this woman made the flames of jealousy rise uncontrollably.

She thought she was magnanimous and insightful, and she often felt contempt for the women around her who were so jealous of men.

Even when others spread rumors that Fifth Brother and Gu Yue, the most capable young lady of the Gu family, had once been in love, she did not regard Gu Yue as a rival in love.

Because she knew very well that the way Fifth Brother looked at Gu Yue was not out of romantic love.

Moreover, Gu Yue is already married and has a daughter, so a relationship between them is impossible.

However, just hearing about Fifth Brother's ex-wife makes her feel very uncomfortable. It turns out that she can also lose her temper and get jealous; before, she just didn't care because it didn't concern her.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing the girl suddenly fall silent, the man squeezed her hand.

Bai Qianmo put on a calm demeanor.

"I was just thinking, you must love your wife very much."

Gu Jueye stared at Bai Qianmo for a while, then nodded firmly.

"I love it very much."

Bai Qianmo's smile froze on the spot, a sharp pain shooting through her heart as if she had been stabbed by a knife.

Women seem to be born with a love of fantasy when it comes to relationships. At this moment, Bai Qianmo had already imagined a handsome, gentle and virtuous rival in her mind, and even imagined their wedding scene and the loving and harmonious life of the couple after marriage.

The more I thought about it, the colder I felt inside.

“Lisa once said that Gu Yue and I look very similar, and that you are good to me and spoil me because I look like her.”

After speaking, Bai Qianmo stared at the man with a dark look in her eyes.

"Now I suddenly understand, maybe it's not that I look like Gu Yue, but that Gu Yue and I look like your wife?"

In fact, she had struggled with doubt and contradiction countless times.

Why would someone of Fifth Brother's status and position suddenly go into seclusion in a poor, remote mountain village? Why did he take special care of her and even take her to Country Y when she was thirteen? From the age of eight to twenty-one, this man's affection for her never diminished in the slightest.

However, sometimes when he stared at her, he always felt his thoughts drifting away.

She could always read a sense of weariness and loneliness in his eyes.

Now that the mystery is solved, he must have never forgotten his wife.

"You do look very alike." Because you are the same person.

Upon hearing Gu Jueye's answer, Bai Qianmo's last glimmer of hope was instantly extinguished.

She should have realized long ago that no stranger would suddenly be very nice to you; there must be another reason behind it.

However, the answer she had waited for all these years was that it was because she resembled another woman that Fifth Brother gave her all his favoritism.

It's rather pathetic to think that she was someone else's shadow.

Noticing Bai Qianmo's unusual expression, Gu Jueye explained, "The matter between you and her is a bit complicated, but you will understand everything in the future."

When Qianmo's main consciousness returned to the modern world from that time and space, she naturally understood that Xu Changchong's wife was herself.

However, he didn't know how to bring up such a mysterious matter, and he didn't want her to feel that his consciousness was incomplete.

However, Bai Qianmo interpreted Gu Jueye's ambiguous explanation as having a different meaning.

It's like when you suffer a crushing defeat in a competition, the organizers give you a consolation prize as encouragement to motivate the team members to participate more actively.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. Bai Qianmo jumped up from Gu Jueye's lap.

"I'm sleepy, I'm going back to my room to sleep."

He left with a single sentence and stormed out of the office without looking back.

Gu Jueye frowned slightly.

He sensed the girl's anger, but from a straight man's perspective, he felt somewhat puzzled.

Even if she didn't know that his wife was her, the other party was someone from a hundred years ago. Why would she be jealous of someone so old?

He shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, even though he had lived for over a hundred years, he still couldn't understand a woman's heart.
