I never expected that this child would have so many unexpected surprises.
They all knew Seventh Brother's chess skills very well; so far, only this girl had managed to hold her own against him.
The two remained deadlocked for another half hour. In the end, because Old Master Gu had lost too badly at the beginning, Bai Qianmo lost to Gu Jueye by one move.
Although she lost, Bai Qianmo was still very happy. The key to a high-level game of chess is not winning or losing, but the meditative state of mind that one achieves during the process, which is very rare.
"I never expected Qianmo to be such a skilled chess player, hahaha, now I have someone to play chess with again." The usually calm and reserved Old Master Gu laughed heartily, and it was clear that he was genuinely happy at the moment.
"Alright, the food's getting cold, and the kids must be starving. Every time they come over, you pester them to play chess with you, but I won't allow it."
After scolding the old man for a bit, Madam Gu smiled and said to Bai Qianmo, "Don't mind your Grandpa Gu, he's just a chess fanatic. Come on, let's go eat."
Stepping out of the study, Bai Qianmo said, "Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, I'm going to wash my hands first."
"Go."
Bai Qianmo walked to the washbasin in the bathroom, squeezed out hand sanitizer to wash her hands, and a handsome figure appeared at the door.
Bai Qianmo looked at him in the mirror. Gu Jueye closed the bathroom door behind him. His deep gaze met Bai Qianmo's eyes in the mirror. He smiled slightly, took two steps forward, and reached out to hug Bai Qianmo from behind.
"Have you missed me these past few days?" He rested his smooth chin on Bai Qianmo's thin shoulder, tilting his head to whisper in her ear.
A tingling sensation ran through her ears, and Bai Qianmo unconsciously shrank her neck, her misty eyes blinking mischievously through the mirror.
"It's only been three days, it's not time to miss her yet..."
Before she could finish speaking, the person holding her became displeased and tightened their arms around her.
"But I miss you, I miss you so much, especially... at night." The deep, resonant voice carried a deadly allure, perfectly complementing the face that could bewitch anyone.
Bai Qianmo's heart trembled, and she silently recited a few calming mantras.
This demon is up to its old tricks again. Freeze, you must freeze.
"I'm washing my hands, don't hug me so tightly." Bai Qianmo moved her body, originally wanting to break free from Gu Jueye's arms, but in this position, if she twisted around in his arms, it would only lead to an accidental escalation.
When she sensed something was wrong, Bai Qianmo's cheeks suddenly burned, and she gave Gu Jueye a coquettish glare with her watery eyes.
"You...you're not ashamed."
Gu Jueye sighed helplessly, his voice slightly hoarse: "Girl, you know that what you just did was provoking trouble, huh?"
I understand, but I'm only just realizing it now.
Bai Qianmo's gaze fell on the faucet, and she immediately reached out to turn it on: "Would you like to wash your face?"
Gu Jueye didn't say anything. He wrapped his large hands around Bai Qianmo's fair and jade-like hands, and used the hand sanitizer on her hands to wash his own hands as well.
During this time, Gu Jueye's thin lips slowly slid down Bai Qianmo's earlobe to her fair cheek, finally landing on her pink and alluring lips.
When their lips touched, the longing they had felt for each other for several days burst forth in that instant.
Gu Jueye pulled off a towel from the side and dried their hands.
He hooked his arm around Bai Qianmo's slender waist, turned her around to face him, and then lowered his head to deepen the kiss.
Bai Qianmo closed her eyes slightly, and her arms naturally hooked around his neck.
Lost in a daze from Gu Jueye's kiss, Bai Qianmo suddenly remembered where she was and quickly reached out to touch his chest.
"Stop fooling around, Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu are outside."
"The old lady is getting on in years and her hearing isn't good." Gu Jueye tightened his arms and hugged Bai Qianmo tightly.
His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of suppressed emotion: "Girl, I'm hungry."
"Let's go eat. Grandma Gu made lots of delicious food." Bai Qianmo blinked her big eyes, pretending not to understand.
Gu Jueye gently stroked her waist with one hand, his burning palm expressing his dissatisfaction.
"You know what I mean."
No, she doesn't know!
"I'm hungry too. I want to go and try Grandma Gu's cooking as soon as possible."
"So when are you going to feed me, hmm?"
Bai Qianmo's delicate face flushed red instantly, and she playfully punched Gu Jueye's shoulder with her little fist.
"Be mindful of the occasion."
"What should I be aware of in the bathroom?"
“There are people outside. Even if Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu can’t hear us, there are other servants.”
"They won't talk nonsense."
Bai Qianmo was speechless, bit her lip, and leaned in to kiss Gu Jueye's lips: "Is it okay now?"
"No way!" This isn't enough.
Bai Qianmo gave Gu Jueye a coquettish glare, then blushed and whispered something in his ear.
The man pursed his thin lips and raised an eyebrow with a smug look on his face.
"You must keep your word!"
"I always keep my word. Alright, let's get out of here quickly."
They've been lingering here for far too long, and the bathroom door is closed.
Anyone with a normal mind could guess what bad things they had done inside. The thought of having to sit in front of the two elderly people for dinner later made Bai Qianmo wish she could dig a hole and escape.
In the restaurant
Grandma Gu kept glancing towards the door, while Grandpa Gu pretended to be engrossed in reading the newspaper.
