With the Duke standing up to protect his wife with his domineering presence.
Bai Qianmo is now almost completely free of those chaotic voices in the entertainment industry.
The smear articles online that defamed her seemed to have all been quietly removed overnight.
Bai Qianmo was able to film the advertisement for Ive with peace of mind.
With her work commitments settled, Bai Qianmo would return to the research institute whenever she had free time to enjoy some precious time with Gu Jueye.
She wasn't doing this on purpose to cling to Gu Jueye, but rather because she noticed that he seemed to be preparing some gear for going out recently.
Although she was intentionally keeping it from her, she still managed to find out the information.
Fifth Brother is going into the Kunlun Mountains again.
This time, we're facing a joint operation between the Mo and Yin families.
When I returned to the research institute today, Fifth Brother was busy in his office.
She went upstairs to change into her home clothes first, and when she came to the second floor, Aunt Cai was busy in the kitchen.
With nothing to do, Bai Qianmo went to the kitchen to look for ingredients, wanting to practice cooking herself.
"Miss Bai, what would you like to learn?"
"Tomato and beef brisket, please. Fifth Brother really likes your dish."
Aunt Cai smiled happily.
"Okay, I'll teach you step by step. It's very simple. First, prepare two tomatoes, and after cutting the beef, blanch it..."
Bai Qianmo carefully memorized each step.
Strangely enough, even though I followed the steps exactly, the taste of the dishes I made always changed.
I still can't figure out where the problem is.
After all that effort, a delicious tomato and beef brisket dish was ready.
"Aunt Cai, why don't you try it and see how it tastes?"
Aunt Cai was also very satisfied and praised, "Judging from the color, it must be very good. To be able to make this dish so well on your first attempt, Miss Bai, you really have a talent for cooking."
Praised by Aunt Cai, Bai Qianmo finally felt recognized in the field of cooking.
The man walked to the kitchen doorway, overheard their conversation, and instinctively stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, Aunt Cai picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of beef, and ate it under Bai Qianmo's expectant gaze.
The next second, Aunt Cai's expression changed noticeably.
First, he chewed slowly, then blinked, and then his brows gradually furrowed, and his expression became serious.
Bai Qianmo already knew what was going on when she saw this.
Is it difficult to swallow?
Aunt Cai couldn't hold it in any longer, so she turned around and ran to the trash can to vomit. Then she picked up her water cup and drank a few mouthfuls of water.
He turned around and looked at Bai Qianmo with an apologetic expression.
"Miss Bai, I'm so sorry, the beef brisket is too salty."
"Let's add some water and boil it again," Gu Jueye said as he walked in.
The two people in the kitchen looked at him.
"It's only a little salty, which means you've made great progress. Aunt Cai, just add some water and simmer it for another ten minutes."
"OK!"
Aunt Cai smiled, thinking how kind the gentleman was to Miss Bai.
The beef brisket was extremely salty, and Mr. Gu knew it was made for him by Miss Bai, so he couldn't bear to throw it away.
"Fifth Brother, I really don't have the talent for cooking." Bai Qianmo said with slight disappointment.
Gu Jueye chuckled and reached out to pinch her cheek.
"That means you're lucky. I know how to cook it."
One sentence instantly soothed the slight disappointment in Bai Qianmo's heart.
That's true, Fifth Brother cooks so well, why does she have to be so serious about cooking?
Adding water to the tomato beef brisket did reduce the saltiness considerably, making it more palatable. However, the water diluted the tomato broth, naturally altering the overall flavor.
However, this did not diminish Gu Jueye's fondness for the dish.
By the end of the meal, the plates were almost empty.
After dinner, the two of them went for a walk in a nearby park, hand in hand.
Bai Qianmo wanted to ask him about his trip to Kunlun Mountain several times, but he never brought it up with her. She didn't know whether she should bring it up or not.
But this time she had a plan.
Jiang Xiaoyu is currently missing and is likely in the Kunlun Mountains. As a member of the Mo family, Zhu Qinghan will also be traveling there with Yin Ling this time.
In order to find Jiang Xiaoyu and to uncover the secrets of the Qi King's tomb, she is determined to make this trip to Kunlun.
The two returned to the research institute
Fang Shu and Gu Teng were in the living room.
"Owner!"
"Let's go to the office."
The two nodded.
Gu Jueye said to Bai Qianmo, "It's getting late, you should go to sleep early. I still have some things to take care of."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Fang Shu and Gu Teng.
She felt she had to speak up now.
"Are you preparing for a trip to the Kunlun Mountains?"
Gu Jueye looked at her calmly without saying a word.
Silence means consent, because he wouldn't lie to her intentionally.
"Fifth Brother, I want to go too. Jiang Xiaoyu's whereabouts are currently unknown, and as her friend, I can't just sit idly by. You're going to such a dangerous place as Kunlun Mountain, and as your fiancée, I can't pretend not to know. So no matter what you say, I'm going with you this time."
"Qianmo, that place is very dangerous. I don't want anything to happen to you."
Bai Qianmo smiled and said, "Knowing it was dangerous there, you still went by yourself. Do you know how worried I was about you? Fifth Brother, you suffered a setback there once, and we both paid too high a price for it. I don't want to experience separation again."
Gu Teng, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke up.
“Master, I also think Qianmo should get involved. Whether the stone gate in Kunlun Mountain can be opened may depend on her.”
Gu Jueye pondered for a long time, his deep gaze fixed on Bai Qianmo.
"Okay, I'll take you there."
Bai Qianmo smiled slightly, feeling overjoyed.
This trip to the Kunlun Mountains may unlock many secrets.
