Today is Lunar New Year's Eve.
Bai Qianmo woke up early in the morning and found that Gu Jueye was not by her side.
Just as she was about to take out her phone to check the time, she heard the sound of the door opening.
Immediately following, steady footsteps approached the bedroom.
Bai Qianmo withdrew her hand, closed her eyes, and pretended to be asleep.
The door was gently pushed open from the outside, and seeing that the person on the bed was still fast asleep, the person's footsteps became quieter.
Although Bai Qianmo didn't open her eyes, she could sense that the other person was approaching her.
The man stopped standing by her bedside, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly chuckled softly.
He leaned down and gently kissed her pink lips.
The morning sunlight streamed into the room through the sheer curtains, making the girl's skin appear as white and smooth as snow.
As Gu Jueye was about to get up, Bai Qianmo suddenly opened her mouth and bit his lower lip.
It wasn't very strong; it felt like being bitten by an ant, a tingling sensation.
Meeting the cunning gaze before him, Gu Jueye's eyes curved slightly.
"woke up?"
"You went for a run?"
"Okay, I bought breakfast. Get up and wash up and eat quickly. Grandma just called and told us to go to the old house today."
"It's Lunar New Year's Eve today!" Bai Qianmo finally snapped out of her daze.
Wearing Gu Jueye's white shirt, she got out of bed barefoot, ran to the window, pulled back the curtain, and looked downstairs.
The entire neighborhood was decorated with red lanterns, and in front of a small supermarket not far away, the shop assistant and the owner were putting up "Fu" characters and couplets together.
The atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.
Gu Jueye glanced at her bare feet and walked over unhappily.
Without saying a word, he picked the girl up from behind and carried her horizontally.
Bai Qianmo giggled and wrapped her arms around the man's neck.
Let's spend New Year's Eve together tonight, just the two of us.
"good!"
"Gu Jueye, this is the first time we've spent the New Year together, isn't it?"
The man's expression subtly changed at the girl's casual remark.
He didn't say anything, but silently replied in his heart.
no!
We've already spanned three years together, this is the fourth time.
"By the way, I'm going to Longxi Garden tonight, do you want to come with me?"
Gu Jueye placed Bai Qianmo on the bed, squatted down, and put a pair of gray, fluffy slippers on her delicate feet.
"Okay!" It just so happens that he also needs to meet Qianmo's parents today.
After washing up, Bai Qianmo left the bedroom and headed straight for the dining room.
Gu Jueye brought the porridge he had cooked that morning to her, along with the breakfast he had bought, which was already placed in a bowl and a plate, and a pretty fried egg.
Her gaze fell on a box on the dining table.
What is this?
Gu Jueye sat down and glanced at the box.
"Open it and take a look!"
Bai Qianmo was quite curious, so she reached out and hugged the box to her face, slowly lifting the lid.
Inside was a white dress.
Bai Qianmo lifted her eyelids and looked at the man across from her who was slowly enjoying his breakfast.
Men seem to have an obsession with white.
Although she felt that red suited her better, she still had to give her boyfriend face since he bought it for her.
"Wow, why are you giving me a dress?"
"Wear this when you go to the Gu family's house later."
Should I wear this to Gu Jia's place?
Isn't it just Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu today?
Gu Jueye didn't explain much, and Bai Qianmo didn't ask any more questions.
After breakfast
She put on simple makeup, let her long hair fall casually down her back, and put on the dress that Gu Jueye had chosen for her.
The long-sleeved design gives it a princess-like feel, and the skirt, which reaches her ankles, actually suits her quite well.
She turned around in front of the full-length mirror. After putting on this dress, she felt that she had lost some of her cold aura and gained a touch of gentleness.
Well, this word originally felt completely out of place with her.
Gu Jueye stood to the side, a glint of light seemingly flashing in his eyes.
"Most of your previous dresses were in a cool and elegant style. I didn't expect that you could wear this style in your own way."
Absolutely praiseworthy.
Bai Qianmo's confidence immediately soared. It seemed that she wasn't just blindly narcissistic; she really was quite suited to this gentle and graceful style.
"That's settled then." Bai Qianmo took her phone, put it in a small leather bag, and prepared to leave.
Gu Jueye took a beige coat from the wardrobe and draped it over her shoulders.
Let's go.
Bai Qianmo felt a warmth in her heart. In fact, it is common for female celebrities to attend events and walk the red carpet in formal dresses in the dead of winter.
The dress Gu Jueye chose for her even had sleeves, which was much better than those strapless dresses.
Many times, he was even more concerned about her health than she was.

Gu Family Old House
Many members of the Gu family had already arrived at the banquet hall.
According to the rules set by their ancestors, every year on New Year's Eve, the descendants of the Gu family must return home to participate in the family banquet held once a year.
On this day, Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and the elders from other branches of the family gathered together. The younger generation said auspicious words to the elders, and the whole family sat together to eat a reunion dinner.
However, in the past two years, the Gu family's family banquets have changed a bit.
Some members of the Gu family's collateral branches will bring along friends and relatives who want to curry favor with the Gu family, hoping to make connections with influential people during this family banquet.
Another group of people tried to send their children in, ostensibly to broaden their horizons, but in reality, they wanted to build a good relationship with the younger generation of the Gu family.
As the most prestigious family in the capital, the Gu family holds a pivotal position in the entire capital and even the whole country, whether it is the direct or collateral branch.
For them, attaching themselves to any member of the Gu family would be an excellent opportunity to change the fate of their family.
Especially since Gu Jueye returned to China this year to develop his career, he is the man that all the socialites in the capital want to marry.
Therefore, the number of young women coming to freeload meals this year is significantly higher than in previous years.
Both Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu are kind and approachable elders.
Even knowing that many of those attending the Gu family banquet today have ulterior motives, they still warmly welcome them, upholding the principle of treating all guests as guests.
Qin Lin, as the hostess of the family banquet, arrived early.
She brought Huo Xiuxiu with her today.
Huo Xiuxiu is tall and has striking features that are strikingly beautiful, typical of mixed-race individuals. Her red dress makes her even more stunning.
Standing among a group of women, she remained the most dazzling and eye-catching presence.
Huo Xiuxiu has recently become quite famous among the wealthy women in Beijing, with many of them investing a considerable amount of money in Fengxun Investment, which is under her name.
Recently, Fengxun Investment's stock market performance has been soaring, and several major stock market operators are optimistic about Fengxun Investment, so Fengxun's financing momentum is becoming increasingly rapid.
