Ye Qianning stiffened slightly and remained silent.
Qin Jingwen looked at Gu Jueye with her delicate face, and winked playfully when the elder wasn't paying attention.
Qin Lin frowned, glanced at her son, and then at Qin Jingwen.
I feel like I've overlooked something.
Just then, a cell phone vibrated.
Gu Jueye glanced at his phone and pressed the answer button.
Ji Cong'an returned to his office and locked the door.
"Hey, sir, hurry up and come to KN, or your little sister-in-law will belong to someone else."
"My lord, I almost had several ribs broken while protecting my sister-in-law. The other party was too powerful; I was no match for him..."
To make his delivery more emotional, Ji Cong'an spoke with a sobbing tone.
There was no response on the other end of the phone, so Ji Cong'an continued to embellish his story.
"It doesn't matter if I get beaten to death, but your sister-in-law is your woman. That guy dared to covet her, isn't he asking for a beating? Isn't he courting death?"
Gu Jueye's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a layer of coldness settled in his handsome phoenix eyes.
"You took her to KN?" The voice was low, chilling to the bone.
Ji Cong'an shuddered, nearly throwing his phone ten meters away.
Those around Gu Jueye could now feel even more clearly the chilling aura emanating from this man.
Gu Zhizhou stared intently at his son.
This kid has never shown his emotions since he was a child, except for that incident seven years ago.
This was the second time he had sensed the deep, penetrating anger emanating from the young man.
Ji Cong'an had prepared a whole host of lines, but they were immediately choked by the other party's cold words.
Your Excellency, why are you doing things differently again?
Shouldn't the main point be that a bully tried to steal your wife?
Shouldn't the focus be on you playing the hero and rescuing the damsel in distress?
Why did you focus on this particular point?
Beep beep beep...
A busy signal came from the other end of the phone!
Did the lord hang up the phone?
Ji Cong'an had a vague feeling that something was very wrong.
This head
After hanging up the phone, Gu Jueye stood there for a moment.
It seems like she's adjusting her emotions.
After a moment, he silently turned around, looked at Gu Zhizhou and Qin Lin, and gave them a few simple instructions.
He said he had an urgent matter to attend to in the lab and left in a hurry.
Even though Qin Lin was reluctant, she had no choice but to let her son leave because of the laboratory matters.
Afterwards, Ye Qianning also made an excuse to leave.
Qin Lin sighed, her face full of worry.
"This kid puts all his energy into academic research and doesn't care about his personal life at all. He's grown up and has never had a girlfriend. I don't think he knows how to get along with girls at all."
"Qian Ning is such a good girl, why is he so clueless!"
"Oh, this is driving me crazy! Tell me, whose temper did your son take after?"
Listening to Qin Lin's complaints, Gu Zhizhou's brows furrowed.
He was also curious about who this kid took after.
"Didn't that guy say in the news the other day that he had an ex-girlfriend? I wonder if it's true."
"You actually believe that?" Qin Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes at her husband.

Bai Qianmo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her aura very faint.
His gaze was fixed on the sky outside the window, lost in thought.
It seemed as if my soul had been ripped away, and I was in a state of deep emptiness.
Zhu Qinghan's gaze kept drifting towards that lonely, cold figure by the window.
A slight frown appeared between his brows, and a hint of curiosity rose in his heart.
"Hey, Zhu Qinghan, do you want to kill me?"
Zhu Qinghan snapped out of her thoughts, blinked, and looked down at Ji Cong'an.
"Finding the acupoint does hurt a bit, but you'll have to bear with it."
"I can't take it anymore! Anyone who's in pain knows how painful it is. I'm in so much pain I'm practically having spasms, and all you do is spook me!"
Bai Qianmo seemed to snap out of her daze when she heard Ji Cong'an's roar.
He turned his head and looked at Ji Cong'an.
Ji Cong'an was lying shirtless on the hospital bed, and the man named Zhu Qinghan was using his long, slender hands to explore and press on Ji Cong'an's body!
The scene... is somewhat eerie.
"Hey, Mr. Zhu, is this how you treat patients?"
I was supposed to check his internal organs, but as soon as I lay down, a pair of big, strong men's hands started pinching and pressing him.
Ji Cong'an was both ashamed and angry, and made a move to get up.
He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and accepted that kid that day.
What a bunch of quack doctors.
He didn't even think three thousand yuan was worth it, but in a moment of impulsiveness, he offered this kid a monthly salary of five thousand yuan, plus room and board.
I'm so regretful now!
Zhu Qinghan felt somewhat helpless and gently pressed Ji Cong'an back onto the sickbed with her fair hands.
The movements were gentle, yet carried a hidden force.
Ji Cong'an felt as if he had been suddenly grabbed and unable to move.
He could only glare fiercely at Zhu Qinghan: "I'm firing you today!"
Zhu Qinghan's clear eyes shifted slightly as she glanced sideways at Ji Cong'an.
"We'll have to wait until I've finished my doctor's appointment."
After saying that, he pressed his finger down on Ji Cong'an's abdomen again.
"Ouch! That hurts like hell! You bastard surnamed Zhu, get out of my way!"
"Your stomach isn't good! From now on, eat less spicy food and avoid cold drinks." Zhu Qinghan said to herself, seemingly ignoring Ji Cong'an's shouts at all.
Her voice was gentle, yet tinged with stubbornness.
Ji Cong'an rolled off the hospital bed like a carp, roaring, "Isn't checking internal organs just about taking X-rays? You've been pressing all over my body, you're going to cause trouble even if there's nothing wrong with you!"
