Bai Qianmo woke up naturally, and the dazzling sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the whole room exceptionally bright.
Upon discovering that she was lying in bed, Bai Qianmo immediately threw off the covers and sat up.
"woke up?"
A deep, mellow voice came from behind her. Bai Qianmo slowly turned around and saw Gu Jueye lying on the bed, holding a book and flipping through it.
"Are you hungry? I've ordered breakfast. Go wash up and eat."
What time is it?
"Ten o'clock in the morning."
"Are you coming back with me today?" Bai Qianmo threw off the covers and got out of bed, quickly glancing down at her pajamas.
She probably didn't do anything last night, right?
Gu Jueye closed the book and placed it on the bedside table, staring at Bai Qianmo with a leisurely gaze: "I came to pick you up, of course we'll go back together."
Bai Qianmo smiled and happily went into the bathroom.
After washing up, Bai Qianmo walked to the dining table and immediately noticed the bouquet of fiery red roses on it.
My heart skipped a beat, and I slowly placed my fingers on my forehead.
I forgot to tell Xia Wei to dispose of this bouquet of flowers last night, and now the evidence is irrefutable.
"Let's eat!" Gu Jueye opened the breakfast and placed it in front of her.
Bai Qianmo secretly glanced at Gu Jueye, who seemed perfectly normal. Since she sat down, he hadn't looked at the bouquet of flowers once.
Is he jealous or not?
Knowing him as she did, she knew that even if he was unhappy, he wouldn't show it. At this moment, his excessive calmness made her heart race.
“This bouquet of flowers was given to me yesterday by a friend I’m not very close to. I originally gave it to Xia Wei so she could help me deal with it, but she probably misunderstood what I meant.”
Gu Jueye ate his breakfast slowly, without even lifting his eyelids.
"Since it's a gift from a friend, why get rid of it?"
Bai Qianmo really wanted to bite off her own tongue.
Yeah, isn't this just blatant guilt?
“I treated him as a regular friend, but he didn’t seem to think so. However, the flowers were sent anonymously, and I didn’t know it was him, so I accepted them.”
Gu Jueye suddenly chuckled.
"why are you laughing?"
"You're so cute!" Gu Jueye looked up at her and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek.
"Fool, the fact that my girlfriend is liked by someone shows that I have good taste. How could I be so jealous over some insignificant people?"
"I'm relieved that you think that way!" Bai Qianmo breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems she was overthinking things. It's all Bai Yitang's fault. If he hadn't called Gu Jueye a jealous man, she wouldn't have thought so much.

1 p.m.
Bai Qianmo went to say goodbye to Xia Wei, who still had a few scenes to film, so filming would be delayed for a few more days.
As soon as Xia Wei opened the door, she saw Bai Qianmo and immediately peeked out, looking around.
"Your boyfriend didn't come along, did he?"
Seeing her startled reaction, Bai Qianmo glared at her with amusement.
Why do you look like you've encountered a monster?
Xia Wei pulled Bai Qianmo into the house and closed the door behind her.
"Your boyfriend is good-looking, but he's really scary when he glares at people with a cold face. He's even scarier than Mr. Guo. You don't know, when I delivered the flowers just now, his face looked like he had just come out of an ice cave. I was so scared that I didn't dare to talk to him."
Bai Qianmo suddenly recalled the scene of him carrying her to the hospital last night. At that time, he was expressionless and exuded a chilling aura, which was quite intimidating.
After chatting for a few minutes, Bai Qianmo said goodbye to Xia Wei.
After packing their luggage in their room, they left the hotel together.
At the hotel entrance, I unexpectedly ran into Gu Hongxun.
"Seventh Uncle!"
Gu Hongxun steeled himself and walked towards Gu Jueye, quickly glancing at Bai Qianmo before guiltily lowering his eyes.
"You're in this production crew too?" Gu Jueye glanced at Gu Hongxun with his deep gaze.
It was as if he had just found out that he and Bai Qianmo were in the same film crew.
"Okay." Gu Hongxun stood obediently to the side.
Gu Jueye took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he thought of something and glanced at Bai Qianmo.
"Go wait in the car for a while."
Bai Qianmo nodded obediently, not glancing at Gu Hongxun again, and turned to walk towards the car.
After Bai Qianmo left, Gu Jueye took out a lighter and lit the cigarette in his hand with a "snap".
"I heard that you've been getting quite close to Bai Kangyan's daughter, Bai Xiruo, lately?"
Gu Hongxun's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't figure out why his seventh uncle had suddenly asked about this.
After hesitating for a moment, he nodded obediently.
“We get along quite well. Xi Ruo is a very innocent girl, unlike any other girl I’ve met.”
Gu Jueye took a drag of his cigarette, his face expressionless: "You like her?"
Gu Hongxun subconsciously glanced at the figure inside the car not far away, and clenched his hands tightly at his sides.
It was all his delusion; he undoubtedly loved Bai Xiruo.
"Yes, we're pursuing it."
Gu Jueye scoffed lightly: "You're an adult now, it's your freedom to like whomever you want. However, I don't want to see you making things difficult for my woman because of that other woman. That would make me very unhappy."
He spoke calmly, yet it sent a chill down Gu Hongxun's spine.
"Seventh Uncle, I..."
Gu Jueye took a drag of his cigarette: "Although I'm not always by her side, it doesn't mean I don't know what happened to her. You should know what you've done. I won't hold it against you because you're a junior in the Gu family. From now on, she will be your seventh aunt. I hope you can show her the most basic respect."
