Old Bai's expression shifted slightly, and he stared at Gu Jueye for a long time: "Have you ever thought about marrying Qianmo?"
With Gu Jueye's status, what kind of woman couldn't he get?
Even if he likes Qianmo now, there are too many temptations around him and too many unforeseen events in the future. He doesn't dare to gamble his own granddaughter on this relationship.
Gu Jueye's deep gaze was unusually firm: "The only person I will marry in the future is her."
Noticing that Elder Bai's tightly furrowed brows had relaxed, Gu Jueye said, "If you really want her to be happy, you should respect her choice, and her final choice will definitely be me."
Old Bai scoffed lightly: "You're quite confident."
Gu Jueye said lightly, "I believe her."

As the food was served, Bai Qianmo glanced at the closed study, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Xu Hualan saw through her thoughts and smiled, "Worried about him?"
"Grandpa is so stubborn, I'm afraid he won't be so easy to persuade."
“Gu Jueye is no pushover either. If he can’t even get past the old man, how will he ever marry you?”
Bai Qianmo's cheeks suddenly flushed. She felt like they had only just gotten together, how could they have already reached the point of meeting each other's parents?
Just then, the study door creaked open.
Old Master Bai, leaning on his cane, took the lead and walked out. Gu Jueye followed behind him, his handsome face revealing no emotion.
Old Bai's face was expressionless, but his cloudy eyes held a dignified and cold light.
Seeing Bai Qianmo looking at them, Old Bai said coldly, "Don't think that I will easily change my mind after hearing what you said. Although I will no longer stop you from seeing each other, I will continue to help her find a suitable man. I don't believe that this girl can hang herself on your tree."
Gu Jueye's eyes were cold, and his thin lips curled slightly: "You won't have a chance."
"Tch, we'll see."
Old Bai thought to himself, "This Cui Bowen is really something. He's already scared and ran away before we've even started facing him head-on. It seems I need to find someone who can really fight this kid."
A group of men in suits and ties walked in from outside.
"Seventh Master!"
The leading man called out softly, and Gu Jueye glanced at the newcomer indifferently before responding with a soft reply.
The other party immediately waved to his subordinates behind him, and one of them stepped forward, carrying a scroll in his hand.
Bai Qianmo, Bai Kangcheng, and Xu Hualan also came out of the main hall, wondering what Gu Jueye was up to.
"Mr. Bai, this is Mr. Tian's latest work. Please take a look."
Bai Lao's expression remained cold: "Don't try to bribe me with Tian Lao's work. I'm a man of principle."
