"Your logic is too clear. Wouldn't it be hard to keep a secret when I'm with you? You and my cousin are both so shrewd. When you want to hide something from each other, won't you rack your brains and scheme to figure it out?"
Bai Qianmo wiped her hands, and upon hearing Qin Jingwen's words, smiled at her reflection in the mirror.
"We won't speculate on what the other party is trying to hide. If they don't want you to know, there must be a reason."
"Tsk tsk, I don't quite understand the emotional communication between highly intelligent species like yours."
"Although I've only met Wang Jinyu once, I think he's a humble, polite, and gentle person, quite a nice person."
Qin Jingwen immediately understood the deeper meaning behind Bai Qianmo's words.
Her face looked a little unnatural, and her gaze was flustered, unsure of where to look: "Don't talk nonsense. Although we are neighbors, we rarely interact. We just happened to meet and chatted for a few minutes in the small garden today."
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow and teased, "You're overthinking it. I'm just giving my opinion on Wang Jinyu as a person!"
Qin Jingwen glared at Bai Qianmo with embarrassment, pouting in protest: "Qianmo, are you still my friend?!"
Bai Qianmo gently raised her hand and tapped Qin Jingwen's forehead: "Silly girl, do you think no one can see it when you're all lovestruck?"
"Don't tell my grandpa. My grandpa and Grandpa Wang are sworn enemies. If he finds out that I have feelings for Wang Jinyu, he'll definitely go to the Wang family and break Wang Jinyu's legs."
"Is it that serious? What exactly is the feud between the Qin and Wang families?"
Qin Jingwen shook her head: "I don't know whether it's a feud between the Qin and Wang families or a personal grudge between my grandfather and Grandpa Wang. In any case, for so many years, the Qin and Wang families have lived next door to each other, but their relationship has not been good. So Wang Jinyu and I have known each other since we were young, but neither of us has ever taken the initiative to speak to the other."
Hearing Qin Jingwen say this, Bai Qianmo became somewhat interested in the feud between the Qin and Wang families.
When Bai Qianmo and Qin Jingwen came out, Gu Jueye leaned against the bathroom door, a cigarette between his fingers, his eyes lowered. Hearing the footsteps of the two, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Bai Qianmo and Qin Jingwen.
"Don't let the old man know about your relationship with Wang Jinyu."
Qin Jingwen's smile froze instantly. Bai Qianmo glanced at Qin Jingwen but didn't say anything more.
"Let's go eat," Gu Jueye said to Qin Jingwen.
Qin Jingwen nodded and walked towards the restaurant.
The Qin family home is very large, and the bathroom is located at the end of the corridor near the backyard, making it difficult for people outside to hear what is being said here.
Bai Qianmo pointed to the bathroom: "Go wash your hands, I'm going to the dining room first."
Gu Jueye stubbed out his cigarette, threw it into the nearby trash can, and reached out to pull Bai Qianmo into the bathroom.
The bathroom is over 20 square meters. In front of the large washbasin, a row of mirrors reflects the figures of two people.
Bai Qianmo didn't know what Gu Jueye was planning to do. After she followed him in, Gu Jueye slammed the door shut behind her. Then, she felt a tight grip on her wrist and realized that Gu Jueye was holding her tightly in his arms.
"Gu Jueye?"
Gu Jueye didn't speak, but tightened his arms around her, as if he wanted to completely meld her into his body.
Sensing that Gu Jueye's mood was off, Bai Qianmo stopped talking and just let him hold her tightly.
After a long time, Gu Jueye's deep and mellow voice slowly rang in my ears.
"Girl, if I have a secret to hide from you, it's definitely not because I want to lie to you."
Bai Qianmo smiled lightly: "So that's what you're concerned about?"
I was just chatting casually with Qin Jingwen when Gu Jueye overheard us.
I never expected him to care so much about that sentence.
"I trust you."
She never doubted Gu Jueye's love for her, so if one day he hid the truth about something, it certainly wouldn't be because he simply wanted to deceive her.
The words "I believe in you" were like ripples on a still lake, gradually easing the worries in Gu Jueye's heart.
He concealed their past and, taking advantage of her amnesia, approached her step by step, pretending to be a stranger.
Because of the fear of losing it again, I have always felt uneasy and anxious.
I just overheard Qianmo's words outside the bathroom door.
"We won't speculate on what the other party is trying to hide. If they don't want you to know, there must be a reason."
She trusted him so much, yet he didn't even dare tell her the truth about their past love. He didn't deserve her confidence.
