"Thud"
Ji Yeting's hand trembled, and the crayfish he had picked up fell onto the table.
She stared at Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo in astonishment.
What's going on?
Old Qin slightly lifted his eyelids and glanced at the two of them with a slightly darker look in his eyes.
"You two know each other?"
Bai Qianmo's expression remained indifferent, her gaze quickly sweeping over Gu Jueye out of the corner of her eye.
Answer truthfully: "Alumni relationship."
Gu Jueye remained silent.
"With so many students at JQ, how would Aye know you can't eat seafood?" Old Qin was clearly not someone to be fooled.
Bai Qianmo looked at the man beside her with a puzzled expression on her face.
"I'm curious too."
Her eyes shone like stars, and she curled her lips with interest.
Gu Jueye turned his clear eyes slightly and met Bai Qianmo's beautiful face.
We've met a few times.
Bai Qianmo frowned slightly and replied apologetically, "Perhaps my memory is too bad, I really don't remember meeting my senior brother."
Gu Jueye slowly turned his face away and replied casually.
"It's better not to remember, it wasn't a pleasant memory anyway."
Ji Cong'an looked at Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo with the eyes of someone looking at aliens.
Are these two putting on an acting show?
Why aren't you playing by the rules?
When couples who have broken up for many years meet, shouldn't they say harsh things like, "It's been so long since we last met. Seeing that you're not doing well makes me feel relieved"?
Why do these two seem like they don't know each other at all?
To be precise, it was the younger sister-in-law's reaction that was very abnormal.
The arrival of Gu Jueye and Ji Cong'an brought their conversation to an abrupt end.
After dinner
Ji Yeting offered to send a car to take Bai Qianmo home, but Bai Qianmo refused.
Ji Yeting was already used to Bai Qianmo's temperament, so he could only give her a few words of advice before seeing Old Qin off.
Outside Mingyue Tower
The heavy rain poured down, splashing water onto the bluestone platform in front of the door along with the glazed tiles.
Bai Qianmo stood under the eaves, ready to call a car.
A black Mercedes-Benz slowly pulled up at the gate.
The car window rolled down, revealing a handsome and refined face.
"Miss Bai!"
Seeing Bai Qianmo looking at him, the man opened the car door.
He opened a black umbrella, concealing his face, revealing only his long, slender, pale hands.
Rain and wind tormented, clouds and mist swirled.
He seemed to arrive through the mist, the splashing water staining his trouser legs, yet still unable to conceal his extraordinary charm.
Bai Qianmo sighed inwardly.
This man, wow! His appearance and bone structure are both superb.
Seven points of immortal bones, three points of charm.
A complete monster.
Gu Jueye walked onto the bluestone platform
The gaze he cast was dark and unfathomable: "Waiting for a car?"
After a brief moment of distraction, Bai Qianmo quickly regained her composure and said, "Okay, let's wait for the car."
“It’s not easy to get a taxi here. If Miss Bai doesn’t mind, you can take our car back.” Gu Jueye’s voice was calm, and his words were gentlemanly.
Bai Qianmo glanced at the car and saw Ji Cong'an, his face bruised and swollen, waving enthusiastically at her.
Bai Qianmo's face showed a hint of gratitude: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
She tried to hail a ride using an app, but no one accepted her order for a long time.
Clearly, what Gu Jueye said was true.
Gu Jueye didn't speak, his gaze quickly sweeping over her face before turning away.
Subconsciously, he tilted the umbrella in his hand over Bai Qianmo's head.
Let's go.
The two people got on the bus one after the other.
Gu Jueye sat in the passenger seat, and Bai Qianmo sat in the back seat.
Ji Cong'an turned his head and smiled at Bai Qianmo: "Miss Bai, where do you live?"
Bai Qianmo calmly announced an address.
His voice was pleasant, but his tone was distant, and his whole demeanor exuded a sense of aloofness.
This was Ji Cong'an's first impression of Bai Qianmo.
That was quite insightful.
After all, his father had just beaten him up like that in room 304, yet this young lady was still able to play the game calmly!
Hmph! Little girl, your brother holds grudges.
I must find a way to get her account someday and give her a good beating.
Ji Cong'an secretly imagined the scene for a while, then secretly glanced at the man in the passenger seat.
The lord's long arms were crossed in front of his chest, his tall figure nestled in the car seat, his eyelids slightly closed, as if he were fast asleep.
My ex-girlfriend was sitting right behind me, and I can really fall asleep.
You've got a big heart!
"Miss Bai, Lord is quite famous in JQ, you really don't know him?"
Bai Qianmo's gaze slowly shifted back from the window, her eyes distant and enigmatic.
His calm eyes were completely black, revealing no trace of emotion.
"We are not a profession."
It was a simple sentence, though it didn't say anything explicitly.
But it was clear that Bai Qianmo meant that they weren't familiar with each other.
Ji Cong'an frowned involuntarily.
What are these two up to?
One pretends not to know the other, and the other follows suit, putting on an act?
Ji Cong'an stopped speaking, and Bai Qianmo, being the type of person who wouldn't speak casually, was even less likely to do so.
Silence fell inside the car.
The man, who appeared to be fast asleep, had his eyelids twitch almost imperceptibly.
About half an hour later
The car was parked outside a detached villa.
"arrive."
Ji Cong'an was speaking to Gu Jueye.
Remind him that his sister-in-law has arrived home, and he should seize the opportunity to say a few more words.
Gu Jueye slowly opened his eyes and looked out of the car. The rain outside had gradually subsided.
"Thank you," Bai Qianmo said, then opened the car door and got out.
"Miss Bai!"
Gu Jueye also opened the car door and opened the umbrella hanging in the car.
