Bai Qianmo noticed that Gu Jueye was looking in their direction, and subconsciously lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.
The man's teasing yet seductive words, "Want to see?", echoed in his ears.
She was surprised that someone like him could say sweet words, and was momentarily lost in thought.
I never expected that he would flirt with me so badly again.
The spirits say that all men are big pig trotters, and there seems to be some truth to that.
"Qianmo, you haven't been drinking, why is your face red?" Qin Jingwen tilted her head and looked at Bai Qianmo.
Bai Qianmo paused for a moment, then quickly suppressed the strange emotions in her heart.
"Perhaps it's too hot."
puff……
Gu Jingyu spat out a mouthful of wine.
Is there even a question?
Bai Qianmo noticed that her seventh uncle had glanced in her direction several times. She wasn't blind, so she naturally saw it.
The two looked at each other across the distance, exchanging glances. The girl felt shy, perhaps recalling something that had just happened in the room that made her blush and her heart race, hence the normal physiological reaction.
To put it bluntly, it's exciting!
The two little girls tilted their heads and looked at him.
Bai Qianmo glanced at Gu Jingyu with a calm and breezy gaze, her eyes revealing a warning.
Gu Jingyu chuckled dryly, his heart tightening. He felt that this look was very similar to the scheming look in his Seventh Uncle's eyes.
Gu Jingyu pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and then stood up abruptly.
"You guys chat, I'm going to wish Uncle Qi a happy birthday."
After saying that, Gu Jingyu ran off in a flash.
At this moment, Gu Jueye's relatives from the collateral branches of the family had already offered their blessings and presented their carefully prepared gifts to the public.
Although Gu Jueye is of a very high seniority in the Gu family, he is not very old. Some of his juniors are even more than ten years older than him.
It is well known that he has a bad temper, and he always gives people the feeling that everything in the world is fleeting and he seems uninterested in everything.
Therefore, the more someone knows Gu Jueye, the more difficult it becomes to choose a gift for him.
Previously, when Gu Jueye was abroad, this issue could be avoided.
But this year, the Buddha statue has returned, and what gift to give as younger generations has become a major problem.
“Seventh Uncle, this fountain pen was personally commissioned by the master craftsman Chen Baisheng. It is made of pure gold, and the diamonds inlaid on it are all made from raw minerals mined in F State. I think it is particularly suitable for your status and temperament.” A younger member of the Gu family said in a flattering tone.
Bai Qianmo rested her chin on her hand and glanced at the person indifferently.
She must be in her forties, right?
Gu Jueye just turned 27. Doesn't he feel awkward calling him "Seventh Uncle" so affectionately?
Gu Jueye did not reach out to take the gift, but glanced knowingly at the fountain pen placed in the exquisite gift box with his phoenix eyes.
"With so many diamonds, aren't you afraid of them being too dazzling?" Are you sure they match his style?
Gu family juniors: "..."
Holding the gift, he didn't know whether to hand it over or accept it.
He felt uncomfortable being stared at by hundreds of eyes under the watchful gaze of everyone.
Tears were already welling up inside him. What was so good about him being the eldest among the younger generation of the Gu family?
Number one in sending people to their deaths every year.
The other younger members of the Gu family all felt a jolt in their hearts.
Oh no, Big Brother spent a fortune preparing his fountain pen for half a year, and it still hasn't caught Seventh Uncle's eye?
Madam Gu turned her head to look at her grandson and sighed inwardly.
The younger generation of the Gu family had often been given the cold shoulder by Seventh Brother, so they were used to it. However, in front of outsiders, they still had to give the younger generation some face.
Gu Jueye understood the look his grandmother gave him.
His indifferent eyes slowly rose, glancing at Gu Xuchong, the eldest of the Gu family's great-grandchildren: "However, it's clear that he put his heart into it!"
Gu Xuchong secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
Thank goodness, he finally made it through. He almost exploded on the spot!
Not far away, Bai Qianmo stared at the man in the center of the crowd who seemed like a beam of light. She puffed out her cheeks and subconsciously looked at the backpack placed to the side.
The fountain pen that someone commissioned a master craftsman to make, and the diamonds that were originally mined and polished in F state, were delivered to Gu Jueye, who only coldly replied with "You've put in the effort," the prefix of which still conveyed a sense of disdain.
If I hand him the wallet that I bought for 3999, I'm afraid he'll just turn around and throw it away in disgust.
After all, it's beneath him.
She would never tell Gu Jueye that when she bought the wallet, she felt it perfectly suited his style...
Does something costing 3999 yuan suit his style? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
Then, the younger members of the Gu family, with trepidation, carefully presented their gifts.
She didn't dare lift her eyelids, her heart clenching with tension, afraid that Uncle Qi would criticize the gift she had given him again.
No one dared to say that their suit matched Uncle Seven's temperament anymore.
"Seventh Uncle, this is a scarf I carefully knitted for you. Please take a look and see if you like it." Gu Xinyi opened the box with great anticipation.
He thought to himself that everyone else had bought gifts with money, so Uncle Qi naturally wouldn't care.
Although the scarf wasn't expensive, it was hand-knitted, and the thought and effort put into it was something that those money-grubbing people couldn't match.
Gu Jueye's eyelids twitched, and he slowly stretched out his slender, white hand to take out the scarf and examine it.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "Xinyi is such a thoughtful girl."
Qin Lin also looked approving: "However, Yuzhen has a lot of experience in educating children. If we have children in the future, we should spend more time with Xinyi."
