After being lectured by Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu, Gu Jueye did not utter a single rebuttal, but listened quietly and humbly.
Yanran presented herself as an obedient and compliant grandson.
Bai Qianmo looked at the man in front of her, who had concealed his sharp edge, with some disbelief.
Although Fifth Brother was exceptionally gentle with her, he always maintained a high wall around himself when facing outsiders.
Even though Fifth Brother had been by Grandpa Gu's side for many years and Grandpa Gu had always treated him like his own son, Fifth Brother was still very indifferent and distant when he was with Grandpa Gu.
Sometimes she even had the illusion that Grandpa Gu and Fifth Brother spoke with respectful titles and honorifics.
It's really strange to see an elderly man in his seventies using honorifics to a man in his twenties.
However, today, she could sense that the strong sense of distance that Fifth Brother had shown when facing the Gu family elders did not appear.
He was very mysterious; even she couldn't fully understand his thoughts, let alone outsiders.
Seeing Bai Qianmo staring blankly at Gu Jueye, Old Madam Gu coughed lightly.
He smiled gently.
"Qianmo, Seventh Brother has always been quite opinionated. All the things we've said are probably not as good as one word from you. From now on, Grandma Gu will entrust the task of disciplining and disciplining him to you."
"Me?" Bai Qianmo was taken aback and looked at the man sitting quietly beside her.
"Yes, men usually listen to their wives after marriage. Although you two are not married yet, the engagement has been discussed by both sets of parents. We'll hold the engagement ceremony in a while, and then choose a good day in the fall when it's neither too hot nor too cold to hold the wedding. After that, I'll be waiting for my great-grandson."
The more Madam Gu talked, the more excited she became, as if her long-awaited great-grandson was already in her arms.
Although Old Master Gu looked serious, he inwardly agreed with what Old Madam Gu had said.
“Ah Ye is getting on in years; it’s time for him to settle down and start a family. We should also help him focus on his work and not put all his energy into it.”
Well……
Bai Qianmo was stunned when she heard this.
During the years she suffered from amnesia, she not only attended JQ University and entered the entertainment industry, but also got engaged to Fifth Brother?
"Um...we're really engaged?"
Bai Qianmo asked aloud.
"Qianmo, don't you remember your engagement?"
How could I forget something so important?
Gu Jueye, who had been silent all along, reached out and grasped Bai Qianmo's hand, his calm eyes turning to look at Old Madam Gu.
"Qianmo lost some of her memories due to this coma. She doesn't remember what she experienced during the year she lived in the capital?"
"Amnesia? How could you suddenly lose your memory? Have you had an expert examine you?" Old Madam Gu asked with concern.
"Amnesia may only be temporary. Losing some memories is not a big deal. You will recover slowly. Qianmo, don't worry too much about this," said Old Master Gu.
Bai Qianmo nodded. Although she didn't remember interacting with the two elderly people, she could tell that they genuinely loved her.
Qin Lin, sitting to the side, glanced at Bai Qianmo thoughtfully.
Although her son liked the girl, she could never get past the girl's background in her heart.
Her son is so outstanding; he could easily find someone better.
Moreover, she overheard that her son's trip to Kunlun Mountain was to find a way to save the girl.
Thinking of this, Qin Lin was filled with hatred.
The son she had raised with great difficulty and carried for ten months was willing to risk his life for a woman, even daring to venture into a place like the Kunlun Mountains, and almost getting into serious trouble.
Therefore, she had to find a way to stop their marriage no matter what.
“Dad, Mom, Ah Ye just got back. Let’s not talk about the past for now. It’s almost dinner time. Our family hasn’t eaten together in a long time. Let’s get together as a family today since Dad and Ah Ye are safely home.”
Madam Gu nodded.
"Aunt Mei, go to the kitchen and tell them to prepare food according to the tastes that A-Ye and Qian-Mo usually like."
"Yes, Madam."
Qin Lin wore a smile on her face, but she was quite unhappy inside.
He glared coldly at Bai Qianmo, who had just made herself perfectly clear.
During a family gathering, Bai Qianmo, being an outsider, should have taken the initiative to get up and leave if she were to be sensible.
Bai Qianmo noticed the unfriendly gaze Qin Lin was casting on her.
Does this Mrs. Gu have some kind of grudge against her?
He looked at her as if she were an enemy; back at the Haitan Villa, she would glare at him from time to time.
It was as if he was about to steal some treasure from her.
But thinking about it, if Fifth Brother really is this Madam Gu's son, then she did indeed steal him.
So what?
With a slight raise of her eyebrows, Bai Qianmo glanced at Qin Lin with a sly look.
She deliberately hooked her arm around Gu Jueye's in a friendly manner in front of her, leaning her body against him.
It was rare for the young girl to be so proactive, and a slight warmth appeared on Gu Jueye's expressionless face, while his clear, icy eyes overflowed with doting affection.
Are you sleepy?
"No, I'm hungry." Bai Qianmo shook her head, raising her fair and plain face. When she smiled, her shallow dimples were bright and lively, a smile that seemed to be able to captivate people.
Gu Jueye's deep eyes momentarily lost focus. His broad, thick hand grasped one of her hands, which was resting on his waist, and his cool fingertips expertly squeezed her palm.
The little girl's hands, which looked slender, were actually chubby and felt very nice to the touch.
"Please wait a moment, Aunt Mei has already instructed that dinner be prepared."
"But I want to eat the food you cook yourself. No one else's cooking tastes as good as yours," Bai Qianmo said, deliberately acting coquettishly.
He glanced at Qin Lin out of the corner of his eye; the other woman's sharp and serious face was now filled with anger.
"Hmph, the Gu family's chef is a master chef who has been serving at state banquets for ten years. Does he think his cooking doesn't suit your taste? Ah Ye has been pampered by us since he was a child. We've never let him cook, let alone set foot in the kitchen. Why should you let him cook for you?"
Seeing Bai Qianmo clinging to her son, Qin Lin felt quite displeased.
A country bumpkin like her, she should be incredibly lucky to even be able to marry her son.
She actually wants her son to cook for her?
Does a country bumpkin like her even deserve it?
