Ye Qianning's face was chilled by the splash of cold water, especially since the man hadn't given her a single look of pity. Her heart was even colder than her body.
"Ah Ye, you really trust her that much?"
Gu Jueye looked at Ye Qianning with indifferent eyes: "You would provoke a love rival who poses no threat at all?"
After uttering these meaningful words, Gu Jueye put his arm around Bai Qianmo and walked out of the private room.
Ye Qianning felt that Gu Jueye's last words were like a bucket of ice water poured over her head.
He meant that she was just a harmless person, insignificant in his eyes, so Bai Qianmo had no reason to hold a grudge against her.
Ji Cong'an suddenly chuckled, his expression turning somewhat cold as he swept his gaze over the girls present.
"Women's jealousy is really terrible. Forget it, don't invite me to these boring gatherings anymore."
After saying that, Ji Cong'an also walked out.
Xie Siming shook his head: "You dare to mess with the person the Duke cherishes so much? You must be asking for trouble."
Jiang Jinyuan snorted coldly: "What 'precious person'? He's just after her youth and beauty. Once Bai Qianmo gets old and loses her looks, I don't believe the Duke will still care about her."
Du Muchen glanced at Jiang Jinyuan indifferently, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Are you saying that the Duke is a womanizer?"
"Otherwise what? I've heard that the Duke had a relationship abroad back then, and the other person broke his heart. Perhaps it was this failed relationship that changed the Duke's personality."
Du Muchen shook his head: "Don't invite me to these mindless gatherings anymore."
Seeing that Du Muchen had left, Xie Siming immediately followed him out.
At this moment, apart from a few girls, only Jiang Nanyan, the owner, was still in the private room.
He tugged at his collar, then pulled over a chair and sat down, somewhat irritated.
"Have you made enough of a scene?" He said this while looking at Ye Qianning.
His eyes were both complex and irritable.
Ye Qianning pulled out a tissue from the side and wiped her face: "Laugh all you want to laugh at me. Anyway, I won't let go easily."
"Ye Qianning, wake up! Gu Jueye will never be interested in you. Even without Bai Qianmo, he would never fall in love with you."
Ye Qianning trembled all over, as if her sore spot had been touched, and she roared in a hoarse voice, "Why can that bitch Bai Qianmo do it, but I can't? If I lose to that woman from Y country, that's one thing, but I can't lose to a bitch like Bai Qianmo."
Jiang Nanyan suddenly laughed, and the laughter grew louder and louder until he was clutching his stomach and laughing uncontrollably, though his eyes were bloodshot.
Jiang Jinyuan said angrily, "Jiang Nanyan, are you crazy?"
Jiang Nanyan gradually stopped smiling and glanced at the people present with an expression of utter disbelief.
"Why do you think Bai Qianmo could win the Duke's favor? Do you really think the Duke is a womanizer? If he were a womanizer, a bunch of women would have been throwing themselves at him eight hundred years ago. Would it be Bai Qianmo's turn?"
"What do you want to say?" Ye Qianning felt a vague unease in her heart.
Jiang Nanyan smiled sarcastically, his gaze fixed on Ye Qianning's face with a dark look, and said, word by word, "Because Bai Qianmo is the Y country woman you mentioned!"
"Clang!"
Ye Qianning swayed and bumped into the table next to her, causing the cups and plates on the table to shake violently.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! How could Bai Qianmo be her? Impossible, I don't believe it!"
"Whether you believe it or not is not important, but this is the truth. In the Lord's heart and eyes, there is only that woman. No other woman can catch his eye at all."
Ye Qianning felt darkness suddenly descend before her eyes. All her hopes and all her waiting were cruelly wiped out by reality at this moment.
She was unwilling to accept it! Unwilling to accept it!!

car side
Bai Qianmo, wrapped in Gu Jueye's coat, unexpectedly threw herself into his arms as Gu Jueye opened the passenger door for her.
"Your clothes are soaked. Let's find a place to warm up."
Gu Jueye smiled and hugged her, his handsome face filled with doting affection.
"Would you like me to warm it up with my hands?"
Bai Qianmo nestled her face against his chest and mumbled, "You rascal!"
Gu Jueye burst into laughter.
"By the way, you said you were going to take me somewhere tonight, where are we going?"
Gu Jueye glanced at the time: "It's already past ten o'clock. Is it okay for you to go back so late?"
Bai Qianmo suddenly thought of Bai Lao's current attitude towards Gu Jueye, and her beautiful brows furrowed tightly.
"There's a serious problem!"
These past few days, the old man has been planning to find her a blind date. If Gu Jueye finds out, I can't even imagine what the consequences will be!
Gu Jueye narrowed his eyes: "So, I'll take you back?"
Bai Qianmo raised her head and reached out to pinch Gu Jueye's porcelain-white cheek: "You've piqued my curiosity. If we go straight home, I might not be able to sleep."
Gu Jueye reached out and pinched her slender waist: "Then let's go."
The two got into the car, and Gu Jueye drove towards the suburbs.
Soothing piano music was playing in the car. Bai Qianmo closed her eyes and fell asleep in no time.
When she woke up, the two of them had already reached the top of a mountain.
The wind howled across the mountaintop, carrying a biting chill.
After getting off the car, Bai Qianmo stood on the mountaintop and looked down. The lights of the city looked like stars merging into the sky, distant and dazzling.
Enveloped by a warm chest from behind, Bai Qianmo leaned against him, gazing into the distance.
