At this moment, Gu Jueye stared at the card in his hand, lost in thought, puzzled but also worried.
How did this little girl get involved with the Space Administration?
Judging from her appearance, she seemed unaware of the organization's existence. So why was the other party targeting her?
After taking a shower, Qin Jingwen wrapped her wet long hair in a towel and rummaged through the closet for a while, but couldn't find a hairdryer.
She put on a bathrobe and came out.
"Qianmo, hair dryer..."
Seeing the girl sitting intimately on the man's lap in front of the sofa, Qin Jingwen's gaze shifted blankly from Bai Qianmo to Gu Jueye's face.
Seeing Qin Jingwen there, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Jueye's calm eyes.
Bai Qianmo explained, "She'll be sleeping here tonight."
Gu Jueye looked slightly displeased: "Then where am I supposed to sleep?"
Qin Jingwen pouted and walked to the single sofa next to her and sat down.
"Cousin, you're a grown man, where can't you sleep?"
Why don't you go back to your room?
Qin Jingwen gave a slightly awkward dry laugh: "I'm afraid of ghosts, and Qianmo has already agreed to let me stay here, so my dear cousin, if you don't mind, you can stay in my room for the night."
Gu Jueye frowned; though unwilling, he seemed to have no choice but to agree.
It wouldn't be right to just kick my own cousin out.
Thinking of the mysteriously appearing card in his hand, he needed to send someone to investigate that organization as soon as possible.
Gu Jueye squeezed Bai Qianmo's palm.
"It's getting late, you should go to sleep."
Bai Qianmo nodded obediently and personally escorted Gu Jueye to the door.
Gu Jueye opened the door, one foot already out, when his tall figure suddenly stopped.
Bai Qianmo looked at him in confusion. Gu Jueye turned around and unexpectedly placed a light kiss on Bai Qianmo's lips.
"Call me if you need anything."

In another room
As soon as Madam Ji entered the room, she angrily ripped off her cloak.
He threw it onto the sofa in front of Jimu.
"Old Ji, what can I say to you? Why have I never heard you mention that you know Gu Jueye? Such an outstanding young man, with such a good background, and you never thought of introducing him to our Qingqing? You even said you've known him for six or seven years. If you had thought of this earlier, would that little vixen have appeared by Gu Jueye's side?"
"Why are you saying such awful things? They're a perfectly normal couple, how come you call them vixens? Go ask around in their circle, the number of girls who've been pursuing him could circle the entire capital, but how many of them actually end up together? The point isn't who knows him, but who he likes. Besides, the Gu family is too prestigious, I don't want Qingqing to marry into that kind of family and suffer."
After hearing Ji Miao's words, Madam Ji looked at him as if he were an alien.
"You've really gotten yourselves confused by academic pursuits. What era are we living in? How can you still have such outdated ideas? Our Ji family may not be as prestigious as those so-called aristocratic families, but we are still a clean and honest family of scholars, right? We're much better than that little vixen, aren't we? Qingqing just told me that Bai Qianmo is just a third-rate celebrity in the entertainment industry. How could someone like that be allowed into the Gu family?"
"Is Bai Qianmo someone from the entertainment industry?" Ji Miao was somewhat surprised.
"That shouldn't be the case. Given Gu Jueye's character and personality, he's not the kind of person who would do something reckless."
"No matter how good a man's character is, he still likes beautiful women, especially seductive vixens!"
Madam Ji was furious and patted her chest.
"You blockhead! You'll drive me crazy one day! Didn't you see the way Qingqing looked at Gu Jueye just now? With his impeccable family background and impeccable character, marrying Gu Jueye is much better than marrying some so-called 'matching' man whose whereabouts are unknown, right? I'm a woman, I understand women's thoughts better than you. If I could marry Gu Jueye, Qingqing would be a hundred times willing."
“Even if that girl is in the entertainment industry, since Gu Jueye is already dating her, it means they're not just playing around. Our Qingqing is still young, so don't rush to arrange a marriage for her.”
"Qingqing is already 21 this year, a year older than Bai Qianmo. Why can Bai Qianmo date Gu Jueye, but our Qingqing can't? But speaking of which, I really admire this little vixen. She actually managed to win over a man like Gu Jueye. If Qingqing had her ability, I wouldn't have to worry about her so much."
Ji Miao glanced at Madam Ji: "A daughter isn't a product on a shelf. Why are you in such a hurry to sell her off? A daughter's marriage is up to her. In the end, whoever she chooses, as long as she's happy and the other person truly loves her, that's enough."
Madam Ji gave Ji Miao a cold look and said, "It's because of your kind of thinking that you're still just an ordinary academician at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I don't want my daughter to be looked down upon for the rest of her life. So, the person she marries must be the best one that any girl in our Ji family has ever married."
On a sudden inspiration, Madam Ji said, "Isn't Gu Jueye coming to your lab to discuss something tomorrow? It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend, so let Qingqing do her internship in your lab for a day. We need to give these young people some time alone. Our Qingqing is so outstanding, I believe Gu Jueye will definitely like her."
Ji Miao frowned, some words were on the tip of his tongue, but he couldn't bring himself to say them.
After all, she was his own daughter, and he wanted Qingqing to marry into a good family.
Gu Jueye is indeed the perfect candidate, but he is too perfect, which is why I dare not hope for him.
No matter how many socialites pursued him, not one of them ever caught his attention. Qingqing was not particularly outstanding in terms of appearance or temperament, especially compared to Bai Qianmo, she paled in comparison.
Moreover, Gu Jueye is not the kind of person who can be easily bewitched by women. Regardless of Bai Qianmo's identity, she must have something special to be able to catch Gu Jueye's eye.
But if he voiced these thoughts, his wife would inevitably launch into a tirade against him.
"Let's see what Qingqing thinks. It's getting late, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."
With a sigh, Ji Miao said nothing and got up to walk towards the restroom.
I'll take that as a yes!
A triumphant smile appeared on Madam Ji's face.
As long as you create opportunities for Qingqing and Gu Jueye to meet, over time, the two can easily develop feelings for each other.
