Gu Jueye glanced at Bai Qianmo indifferently, his eyes calm and unreadable.
Bai Qianmo slowly opened her eyelids and glanced at the intersection ahead.
"Going home will allow me to return the umbrella to Mr. Gu."
“It’s just an umbrella, Miss Bai, you don’t need to be so polite. After all, we are… alumni.” The voice was deep and resonant.
Bai Qianmo's expression froze slightly, but she quickly regained her composure.
"It was raining heavily that day, but Mr. Gu gave me his only umbrella. I should thank you for everything."
Bai Qianmo didn't just say that casually.
She had originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to return the umbrella and thank the person properly.
The car was driving on the road to the Bai family's house.
Gu Jueye's deep voice slowly rang out: "If Miss Bai really wants to thank me, why don't you treat me to a meal?"
Bai Qianmo turned her head to look at Gu Jueye, her gaze deep and unfathomable.
The man's tousled hair swept past the corners of his eyes, obscuring his dark pupils, making them appear fragmented and indistinct.
Bai Qianmo frowned, slightly surprised.
"Mr. Gu, do you have some free time? I'm not familiar with Beijing, so I don't know where to find good food."
Gu Jueye paused abruptly, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I happen to be on vacation today, are you really going to treat me?"
Bai Qianmo chuckled: "I can still afford to treat you to a meal."
Seeing the faint smile on her face, Gu Jueye was somewhat lost in thought.
How long has it been?
It seems that I can only see it in my dreams.

Sir Alex Ferguson chose a Chinese restaurant.
The restaurant was quiet to the point of being deserted.
Because in the huge restaurant, there were only the two of them dining.
Before the food was served, Bai Qianmo was a little worried about how it would taste.
She didn't care, but Gu Jueye, a pampered and noble man, probably couldn't withstand the strain on his precious stomach.
Fortunately, the food was delicious.
Bai Qianmo found it strange. Why was there no one in the restaurant during peak hours when the food was so delicious?
Gu Jueye was very careful; he avoided seafood in all the dishes he ordered and specifically instructed the kitchen staff not to include anything related to seafood.
The two of them didn't say much during the meal, but the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
Gu Jueye is meticulous, gentlemanly, and considerate.
To outsiders, he is definitely an enviable and rare boyfriend.
"My lord!"
At that moment, a young man walked out of the kitchen.
The man walked over with a smile, giving Bai Qianmo a quick glance.
Her beautiful peach blossom eyes lit up, and she raised an eyebrow: "Girlfriend?"
Gu Jueye glanced at Bai Qianmo with deep eyes and said in a calm voice, "Friend."
friend?
The young man chuckled to himself.
In Beijing's elite circles, who else who claims to be a friend of the Duke could receive this level of treatment?
I texted him in advance to ask him to clear the room so I could have a quiet meal with my girlfriend.
Who can blame them when Sir Alex Ferguson is more popular than the top celebrities these days?
Wherever they go, they become a cluster of light, eye-catching and flamboyant.
And look at the gentlemanly demeanor of the Duke, so attentive and considerate!
Tsk tsk, even if you beat him to death, he wouldn't believe they're just friends.
Bai Qianmo continued eating slowly, seemingly oblivious to their conversation, and made no attempt to speak.
"Hehe, it's good to be friends. A relationship is more solid if we start as friends!" the young man said ambiguously.
Bai Qianmo blinked rapidly as her eyes lowered.
Gu Jueye narrowed his eyes dangerously and glanced at the young man.
"Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just come to the kitchen and find me."
After saying that, the young man turned and ran back to the kitchen as if fleeing.
The atmosphere was somewhat tense and stiff at the moment.
"I'm going to the restroom!" Gu Jueye got up and left the dining table.
Bai Qianmo raised her eyes and stared at the tall, elegant figure of the man, her eyes deep and unfathomable, lost in thought.
Gu Jueye walked into a quiet corridor and glanced at his watch.
It's almost 3 PM.
I immediately made a phone call, and the other end answered quickly.
"The meeting with Dean Pei has been rescheduled to tomorrow morning."

This way
The young man ran into the kitchen.
His handsome face beamed with excitement.
She leaned against the food preparation table, took out her phone, and quickly tapped on the screen with her slender fingers.
Jiang Family Leader: "@All members, extra news! Big news! Hurry up and come out, brothers!"
The Ji family tycoon said, "If it weren't for the news that shocked me so much I almost choked on my food, I would have grabbed a five-meter-long sword, headed straight for your shop, and hacked you to death!"
The Ji family tycoon then posted several more photos of a guy in sunglasses carrying a five-meter-long broadsword.
The Du family matriarch said, "Hmm? You surprised me even more than the Duke got Northel. Keep showing off."
Jiang family tycoon: "Hehehe, you might not believe it, but it will absolutely shock you out of your wits!"
The Xie family patriarch: "Spit it out already, are you trying to kill me with suspense?!"
The Ji family patriarch said, "Xie Gouzi, you're still causing trouble even while you're in the hospital."
The Xie family patriarch said, "Get lost! Believe me or not, even if I can't get out of bed, I can still beat you up!"
The Ji family tycoon sent a disdainful emoji.
The Ji family patriarch: You sent a pile of dog shit!
The head of the Ji family sent a picture of someone urinating, along with the text "Wake you up."
The Xie family patriarch said, "Damn it, Ji the bear, you just wait. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll definitely kill you."
The Ji family patriarch: "Hehehe... Grandson, Grandpa is waiting for you!"
Grandmaster Xie: Here's a picture of a brutal beating!
The Xie family patriarch sent over a five-meter-long sword and sunglasses guy!
