Old Bai looked at the young man with a satisfied expression.
"Xiao Cui, this is my granddaughter Bai Qianmo. Qianmo, this is your grandson, the third child in the family. Xiao Cui is a very talented young man."
Cui Bowen looked at Bai Qianmo, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes, before shyly looking away.
"Hello, Miss Bai, my name is Cui Bowen, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Grandpa said that the Bai family's granddaughter was good-looking and had a good temperament. I originally thought that Grandpa was just exaggerating.
He only came today because he couldn't refuse his elders' request, and he didn't expect that Miss Bai would be so beautiful.
Bai Qianmo casually glanced at the other person. The man in front of her was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, slender, with a refined appearance and a clean and refreshing temperament.
However, considering the old man's purpose in bringing this person, Bai Qianmo's expression remained indifferent and aloof, and she simply nodded politely.
Cui Bowen awkwardly withdrew his outstretched hand, unsure of what to say.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Old Bai coughed and said, "Bowen has been studying abroad for the past few years. It's quite a coincidence that he just returned to China the day before yesterday. I see that you are about the same age, so you should have a lot in common. Young people need to make more friends. Our two families are old friends. Qianmo, you must not bully Bowen in the future."
After saying that, Old Bai smiled and said to Bowen, "My granddaughter is good in every way, except that she has a straightforward temper."
Cui Bowen smiled and said, "It's good to speak frankly. There's no need to waste time guessing. I admire Miss Bai's personality. May I ask what Miss Bai's hobbies are?"
Bai Qianmo narrowed her eyes and glanced at Cui Bowen, a half-smile playing on her lips: "I don't have any hobbies. If I had to pick one..."
He pretended to think about it seriously for a while: "Does fighting with someone count?"
Cui Bowen: "..."
As if he had been quite shocked, the smile that had been playing on his lips slowly faded.
A sly glint flashed in Bai Qianmo's eyes.
Old Master Bai's face immediately darkened, and he gave Bai Qianmo a warning look.
Cui Bowen was the chosen candidate he had picked from among his many juniors. He was handsome, refined and polite, and very talented. Most importantly, he had a good temper. His grandfather said that he was so gentle that he wouldn't utter a sound if kicked, and that he was guaranteed to be able to be easily manipulated by his granddaughter after marriage.
Although Xiao Cui is no match for Gu Jueye, they are well-matched in terms of social standing. If Qianmo marries into his family, she will definitely not suffer any losses.
After being warned by the old man, Bai Qianmo toned down her sharp edge slightly.
"Qianmo, this is Xiao Cui's first time visiting our home, and he's not familiar with the area yet. Why don't you take him out for a walk? There's no rush to come back. There are many restaurants nearby, so you two can eat and chat outside."
"Grandpa, we have guests at home today." The old man was clearly trying to get rid of her.
"I'm here at home, why would I let the guests sit on the sidelines? You go do your work."
The old man began to urge him impatiently, and Bai Qianmo glanced at Cui Bowen.
Alright, let's deal with this person first, then come back to save the day.
"Mr. Cui, please."
"Just call me Bowen." Although the girl in front of me seemed a bit cold, her looks were absolutely flawless.
Bai Qianmo didn't reply and led the way towards the main entrance.
"Grandpa Bai, we're heading out now." Cui Bowen said goodbye to Grandpa Bai before leaving.
Old Bai saw this and was very satisfied.
Step out of the house
Bai Qianmo led Cui Bowen around for a while.
Cui Bowen would occasionally try to start a conversation with her, while Bai Qianmo would simply reply with a brief sentence.
After chatting for a while, Cui Bowen vaguely sensed that the other party didn't seem to be interested in him.
"Miss Bai, if I may ask, what type of person do you like?"
Bai Qianmo paused slightly, her gaze shifted, and she turned her head to look at Cui Bowen.
“Mr. Cui, we both understand what my grandfather means, but I’m sorry, I already have a boyfriend.”
Upon hearing that Bai Qianmo had a boyfriend, Cui Bowen's face showed a hint of disappointment.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed: "Beautiful girls are never short of suitors. I don't mind if you have a boyfriend. As long as Miss Bai is not married, I have the right to pursue you."
Bai Qianmo frowned noncommittally: "Do you understand me?"
Is it a bit superficial to start pursuing her after only exchanging a few words?
Perhaps she doesn't have the gene for love at first sight, so she can't understand men who are exceptionally enthusiastic upon first meeting.
"As long as Miss Bai is willing to give me the opportunity, I am very willing to get to know you."
"Sorry, I don't have a penchant for having affairs," Bai Qianmo replied quite decisively.
Cui Bowen seemed to have suffered a significant blow; his once confident face now revealed a hint of defeat.
“Miss Bai, perhaps I am the most suitable person for you? It might be your loss if you reject me directly. After all, we are a good match, and my grandfather and Grandpa Bai are close friends. From all these points of view, we are really a good match.”
Bai Qianmo curled her lips: "My boyfriend and I are a better match."
Cui Bowen's face revealed a slight sneer: "If you two were a good match, why would Grandpa Bai be in such a hurry to introduce you to someone? I think the other person is probably not good enough for Miss Bai, or perhaps he is after the Bai family's status and wealth? Otherwise, Grandpa Bai wouldn't be so eager to break you up."
"Miss Bai, don't be so stubborn. Grandpa Bai is doing this for your own good."
Bai Qianmo stared at the self-righteous man in front of her and sneered.
"Mr. Cui, isn't it impolite to make arbitrary assumptions about someone without knowing them at all? To be clear, in my eyes, my boyfriend is far superior to you."
