Yesterday, a powerful typhoon of level 17 made landfall in the Pearl River Delta region, causing damage to many houses and considerable disruption to the local economy and residents' living environment.
Unexpectedly, the capital city, which was sunny this morning, was suddenly hit by torrential rain due to the typhoon.
Outside Jiashang Media Building
Bai Qianmo stood in front of the bus stop, holding an umbrella, waiting for the bus.
Because the rain came suddenly, I bought the umbrella from a nearby supermarket.
Bus route 57 goes directly to Baijia Villa, and usually there is one every ten minutes, but today no bus has come to the station.
During rush hour, coupled with heavy rain, it was extremely difficult to hail a taxi.
On the road, a black sedan sped past. After driving for a while, for some reason, it reversed.
The car stopped in front of the bus stop, and the back window slowly rolled down, revealing a handsome and refined face.
Bai Qianmo was momentarily stunned when she saw the person who had arrived.
He was dressed very formally today, in a navy blue handmade suit, a white shirt, and a well-tailored tie.
He exudes an elegance, nobility, maturity, and composure befitting his age.
The man's deep eyes looked at Bai Qianmo.
She was wearing a thin red dress, and because of the wind, she kept one hand clutching the side of the dress.
The skirt only reached her knees, and she unconsciously gripped the hem, giving her an indescribable charm.
Gu Jueye was momentarily lost in thought, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly. He quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, his eyes regaining their usual calm and composure.
Seeing Bai Qianmo staring blankly at him, he pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
"Waiting for the bus?"
Bai Qianmo nodded gently: "How did you end up here?"
Asking the question felt a bit abrupt, as this was a busy downtown area and being here was perfectly normal.
Perhaps it was because it was him that she was surprised.
Gu Jueye glanced at her indifferently, seemingly not paying much attention to her words.
"I need to take care of something here. The road ahead is severely flooded, and buses are not passing through here for the time being. Where are you going? I'll take you there."
Bai Qianmo looked around. No wonder she hadn't seen a single bus after waiting for so long.
"Aren't you busy?" He was always busy, and she didn't want to bother others.
"No rush, get in the car."
Gu Jueye appeared calm and composed, not at all in a hurry. Bai Qianmo didn't ask any more questions and followed him to the car.
Gu Jueye gentlemanly opened the car door and let Bai Qianmo get in first, then he followed her in.
"Seventh Master, shall we escort this young lady first?"
The driver was a middle-aged man, around fifty years old.
As Bai Qianmo got into the car, he quickly glanced at her in the rearview mirror, then calmly asked her a question.
Gu Jueye gave out an address, and the driver immediately started the car and drove towards the destination.
Hearing the driver address Gu Jueye as "Seventh Master," Bai Qianmo curiously turned her head to look at him.
Gu Jueye seemed to notice and looked over at her as well.
“I am the seventh among the descendants of the Gu family in this generation. My grandmother used to call me Seventh Brother, and the Gu family members also called me Seventh Master.”
After hearing Gu Jueye's casual explanation, Bai Qianmo understood.
The Gu family is a prestigious family with a long history and many members. I heard that there is a distinction between the direct line and the collateral line.
Lord Gu's great-grandfather was a famous warlord and general in North China. Later, by chance, he joined the Communist Party and became a founding father of the dynasty.
It cannot be said that Old Master Gu was a womanizer by nature; it's just that under the circumstances at the time, it was quite common for him, given his status and position, to take a concubine.
Even if you don't have that intention, countless people will rack their brains to put women around you.
In reality, they're no different from the men in high society who keep mistresses.
Back then, concubines could be brought into the open, but now mistresses can only hide in the shadows.
It is said that the old man had seven sons and three daughters. His first wife gave birth to one son, who was the sixth son and Gu Jueye's grandfather.
Therefore, as the eldest son of the Gu family, Old Master Gu's status was naturally different from that of the children born to his concubines.
Although the concept of equality is emphasized nowadays, strict hierarchical distinctions still exist within upper-class circles.
Even for collateral branches of the Gu family, those who want to establish themselves in Beijing's elite circles still need to rely on the direct line.
Therefore, Gu Jueye, the only direct descendant of the Gu family, is so fawned over and sought after by people in Beijing's social circles.
The car was very quiet.
Gu Jueye's eyes were slightly closed, and a hint of fatigue was faintly visible on his handsome face.
Bai Qianmo didn't know what to say for a moment, so she simply turned her head to look out the window.
"Achoo!"
A sudden sneeze shattered the tranquility.
Bai Qianmo felt a wave of dizziness and lightheadedness, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously sniffed.
I sighed inwardly, thinking I was probably about to catch a cold.
Just then, she felt a sudden warmth in front of her as an elegant suit jacket was draped over her.
Bai Qianmo paused for a moment, then glanced at the man beside her.
"My lord, I'll be home soon. It's getting colder today, you should put your suit back on." As he spoke, he started to take off his suit jacket.
Gu Jueye stretched out his long arm and suddenly grasped her hand, his palm enveloping her small hand and squeezing it slightly: "Don't move around, you've already caught a cold."
When that large hand grasped hers, Bai Qianmo's breath hitched, and her body stiffened involuntarily.
A warm current flowed from his palm into the back of her hand. At this moment, his body was very close to hers, and he exuded a powerful masculine aura.
