Ji Cong'an glanced at Gu Jueye, knowing that his thoughts couldn't be hidden from this cunning and shrewd guy.
"I recently heard about that kid Zhu Qinghan..."
The sound suddenly stopped, and Ji Cong'an rubbed his short hair in frustration.
"How come I keep forgetting that this guy is a woman?"
Gu Jueye slowly twirled the pen in his hand: "If you're asking because of Zhu Qinghan, then you've come to the wrong person. I'm not familiar with her at all."
"I know you're not familiar with her, and I didn't come here to see you in the first place."
"Qianmo has joined a film crew and won't be back anytime soon."
"How long will you be gone?" What bad timing! He needed this girl's help, and she just happened to join the production team.
"More than half a month, what's wrong? You look very anxious."
"Well... it's not a particularly urgent matter. By the way, there's an empty house I like near Gu Jingyu's place. I'm open to buying or renting it, but that kid is very petty and just won't give it to me."
Gu Jueye raised an eyebrow: "Do you have feelings for Zhu Qinghan?"
Zhu Qinghan is staying at Gu Jingyu's place, and this kid is eagerly running over there. Isn't that a clear indication of his intentions?
"What thoughts? What thoughts could you possibly have?" Ji Cong'an stiffened, looking at Gu Jueye as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Don't overthink it. I just think this little... this girl is quite honest and upright. After all, she's worked at my club for so long, and I just wanted to know how she's doing lately."
Gu Jueye twitched the corner of his lips, his handsome face revealing understanding.
"Simply calling to check on her is enough to show you care. Going to be her neighbor is going a bit too far."
Ji Cong'an blinked sheepishly, "I'm a responsible and good boss, is that not allowed?"
"Whatever makes you happy." He wasn't interested in knowing too much about other people's affairs.
Thinking that his little girl was still on set, the two of them hadn't seen each other for two whole days.
Rongyi said that things weren't going particularly well for her on set, as she had a lot of scenes to film, and yesterday's filming didn't end until 2 or 3 a.m.
Seeing how hard she was working, all he could do, besides feeling sorry for her, was to try his best to remove any obstacles or barriers for her.
Ji Cong'an spent the whole morning at the research institute, and Gu Jueye, in order to get rid of this troublesome person, made a phone call to Gu Jingyu around noon.
Gu Jingyu chuckled softly when he heard his seventh uncle's purpose for coming.
"Is Ji Cong'an trying to mess with that girl? You should tell him that it's best to nip that idea in the bud. Zhu Qinghan is a good girl, and Ji Cong'an and she are not a good match. I have plenty of houses, and I won't let him use them to pick up girls."
Gu Jueye pressed speakerphone the same time Gu Jingyu spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ji Cong'an's face turned ashen with anger, and he snatched the phone from Gu Jueye's hand.
"Gu Jingyu, you wouldn't happen to have your eye on Zhu Qinghan, would you? You're something else, thinking you can take advantage of the situation? Let me tell you, I'm not someone to be trifled with. If you dare touch my people, I'll teach you a lesson for offending your grandpa."
Upon hearing Ji Cong'an's roar, Gu Jingyu moved his phone a short distance away.
He glanced at the ghost on the other end of the line and hung up the phone.
He turned to look at the woman behind him and gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"See? This guy is definitely interested in Zhu Qinghan, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted so strongly. You even insisted that I go and test him out, and now we've completely offended this plague god."
It turned out that Ji Cong'an had called that morning to inquire about the house, and the spirit happened to be there.
At the time, he didn't understand what was going on, but the evil spirit made him directly refuse Ji Cong'an.
Unexpectedly, he went directly to find his seventh uncle.
The spirit rested her chin on her hand, her narrow eyes squinting thoughtfully. Sunlight streamed through the French windows, bathing her in its glow, making the already alluring woman appear as languid as a seductive cat.
“Only by being competitive can Ji Cong’an pay more attention to Qinghan. Otherwise, he’ll think that no one is pursuing our Qinghan.”
"He, you're quite generous." Gu Jingyu said with a hint of jealousy.
Although they haven't publicly acknowledged their relationship, their feelings for each other remain unspoken.
The more generous she was, the more he felt it was a sign that she didn't care about him enough.
Thinking of this, Gu Jingyu felt a sense of astonishment. He actually cared so much about whether the Yin Spirit cared about him or not.
When did he start considering a woman's feelings like this?
"Oh, what does it matter? You're so handsome and have such great qualities. Only an outstanding man like you can arouse a man's competitive spirit." Yin Ling blinked her big, watery eyes at Gu Jingyu in a soothing manner, and deliberately tugged at the man's sleeve with her small hand.
This small gesture instantly melted the heart of the person who was sulking.
What are Qinghan's thoughts about Ji Cong'an?
The two girls now live together and often share their thoughts and feelings when they have free time.
He was usually busy with work and didn't have much contact with Zhu Qinghan, so he wouldn't know what she was thinking.
If it weren't for Ji Cong'an's phone call today, he wouldn't have known that the two of them had been secretly exchanging calls.
"Although Qinghan is introverted, her eyes sparkle when she talks about Ji Cong'an." "Stars?" This academic guy didn't quite understand that kind of sentiment from girls.
Yin Ling frowned and glanced at Gu Jingyu: "You don't understand?"
Gu Jingyu shook his head.
"oops!"
Yin Ling had a short temper. She grabbed Gu Jingyu's wrist, stood up from the chair, raised her small face, and her bright, sparkling eyes curved into two crescent moons.
Those clear, bright eyes seemed incongruous with her alluring looks and hot figure.
