Cui Bowen's handsome face flushed red, and his hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists.
He has always been surrounded by women who admire and adore him, but this is the first time he has been belittled to the point of being worthless by a woman.
Cui Bowen may appear gentle and mild-mannered, but he is actually proud and rigid at heart. He believes that Bai Qianmo's words at this moment are just a way to make him back down.
“Miss Bai, you have successfully piqued my interest, and I will not let go of you. Besides, Grandpa Bai is on my side. I believe that once you get to know me, you will realize that I am more suitable for you than your boyfriend.”
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly: "I love my boyfriend very much, and I will marry no one but him in this life, so you should give up as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, a low, soft chuckle came from behind him.
A low chuckle, very magnetic, the kind of sound that leaves a deep impression on your mind after just one listen.
Bai Qianmo turned around in surprise. A few steps away, a tall and handsome figure leaned against the trunk of a sycamore tree. He had one hand casually in his pocket and a cigarette between his fingers. His long legs were crossed casually, and he exuded a lazy and arrogant demeanor.
At that moment, the man's deep eyes were looking at her with a smile.
Cui Bowen, who was behind him, also noticed the man in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
As a man, he had to admit that the man in front of him was too dazzling in appearance, the kind of man that women would fall in love with at first glance. What was most deadly was the powerful aura he exuded. Although he had a faint smile on his face at the moment, the sharp look between his eyebrows and eyes was the fierce aura that a person who had been in a position of power for a long time had been exposed to. This kind of imposing aura would make people fearful and thus make them wary.
The moment Bai Qianmo saw Gu Jueye, her calm eyes lit up.
Gu Jueye smiled at her and slowly opened his arms.
Bai Qianmo immediately threw herself into his arms, pressing her small face against his broad chest and smelling the faint tobacco scent on him.
"You've come!"
Gu Jueye wrapped one arm tightly around her slender waist, his gaze gentle, and his thin lips gently kissed her hair.
Seeing this scene, Cui Bowen's lips twitched slightly, and he was deeply shocked.
Is this the boyfriend Bai Qianmo was talking about?
How could Grandpa Bai dislike such an outstanding man?
The thought of competing with this man for a woman sent a wave of guilt surging up from the soles of his feet. Twenty-four years of confidence were shattered into pieces in those few short seconds.
Gu Jueye held Bai Qianmo in his arms, glancing coldly at Cui Bowen.
That piercingly cold gaze sent a shiver down Cui Bowen's spine, and he lowered his head in a flustered manner.
Gu Jueye's glance was extremely quick, but it was fleeting. When he looked at the woman in his arms again, his eyes were full of doting affection.
He leaned close to Bai Qianmo's ear and whispered with a smile, "Let's go, come with me to the Feast at Hongmen!"
Bai Qianmo grinned: "If we fail later, how about we stage a 'Farewell My Concubine' performance?"
Gu Jueye affectionately gathered her hair, his cool fingertips gliding across her smooth chin. With a gentle lift, Bai Qianmo was drawn into his deep eyes.
"I'm not that stupid, and I can't bear to let you suffer with me."
