Ling Mo remained silent for a moment, not rushing to answer Gu Tingbai's question, but quietly waiting to see if this player named "Guli" would speak up.
When "Hometown" was first launched, Ling Mo only felt that his tone was somewhat familiar because he had deliberately changed his voice, and did not recognize him at first glance.
It wasn't until he accidentally called Gu Tingbai "Gu Xiaobai" that she dared to confirm that the gaming newbie "Guli" in front of her was Qin Beiming himself.
With this realization, Ling Mo's mood, which had plummeted to rock bottom, instantly improved considerably.
For some reason, she, who rarely reminisced about the past, found herself recalling all the moments she and Qin Beiming had shared since they met...
The first time I bumped into him in the elevator, I mistook him for a high-class male escort at the Emperor Hotel because of his handsome appearance.
The moment your eyes meet is, in fact, where your heart begins to flutter.
However, the situation was urgent, and she was also very slow to warm up, so she didn't know what it meant to have an instant connection.
The next day, when he went to the high school to find her, he lied and said that he was her uncle to protect her reputation, but she was very wary and regarded him as a human trafficker or something.
It's no wonder she's sensitive and suspicious.
Having just been utterly devastated by so-called familial bonds and returned home bruised and battered after a near-death experience, she is on high alert at all times to avoid repeating the same mistake.
During this period, she indeed found it difficult to trust others.
It wasn't until she unexpectedly discovered that Qin Beiming was the kind person who had buttoned up her clothes before her miserable death, preserving her dignity in the end, that her opinion of him began to change dramatically.
The day she learned the truth, she excitedly hugged him, opening a corner of her heart, which she had not opened to anyone for a long time, unconditionally and without reservation.
After that, he mysteriously asked for the hair tie she used to tie her hair.
After Li Wanwan learned about this, she told her that the girl's rubber band seemed to be a way of asserting her sovereignty.
Qin Beiming wrapped her rubber band around his wrist, which meant that he was willingly being bound by her.
At that time, she always felt that Li Wanwan's speculation was a bit far-fetched and did not take it seriously.
But then, Qin Beiming did a series of incomprehensible things.
For example, he changed his usual calm and indifferent demeanor and replied to dozens of love letters on her behalf, which directly discouraged most of the boys who wanted to pursue her.
Not only that, he would also, for the first time ever, privately send her sexy and provocative workout photos.
After posting the photos, she stubbornly added that these exciting workout photos were actually posted by Chen Guo by accident.
Little did she know, she didn't believe his explanation at all.
Aside from those shady tactics she didn't quite understand, Qin Beiming also did many things that warmed her heart.
Not long ago, because of a phone call she made late at night, he rushed to the Ling residence without even changing his shoes, running several red lights in a hurry.
Upon learning that she was missing Shi Ying, who had passed away long ago, he took her to the cemetery in the middle of the night without any hesitation.
A week ago, after he selflessly took an arrow for her, he was worried that she might encounter some danger on her way to Ouyang Bin's riverside villa alone, so he dragged his injured body to meet her.
Scenes from the past flashed through her mind like a slideshow...
She, who is usually slow to warm up, also gained a rare courage in a brief moment of recollection and spoke up for the first time, carefully expressing the affection she had for him deep in her heart.
After being betrayed by her family and fiancé, Ling Mo was indeed worried that she would fall into the whirlpool of emotions again and suffer endless pain.
That's why, after Qin Beiming remained silent for so long, she started to back down again.
"Sister Mo, hurry up and tell me! Is it Third Brother who made you fall in love?" Lu Jinjiu was extremely curious. Seeing that Ling Mo did not reply, he kept pressing for an answer.
"It was just a joke, don't take it seriously."
Seeing that "Hometown" didn't intend to continue the conversation, Ling Mo felt a strange sense of loneliness. As soon as he finished speaking, he logged off and hurriedly closed the game interface.
"Third brother, your sister-in-law has already admitted that she has feelings for you, what are you still hesitating about?"
Lu Jinjiu, who was standing right next to Qin Beiming, listened to the gossip for a while and was genuinely worried for Qin Beiming.
Qin Beiming frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke in a deep voice:
"I need some time to process what she said tonight. Let's discuss this matter again once I've figured out how to minimize the harm to her."
“If you love someone, then you should be less hesitant. I really don’t want you and your third sister-in-law to fall into the same predicament that Wanwan and I are facing now.”
Huo Yunting followed closely behind Ling Mo's red supercar, stopping the car outside the Ling residence. While giving Qin Beiming a slightly heavy-hearted talk, he gestured for everyone to look at Mei Hu, who was sitting in the driver's seat of the red supercar.
Looking around, one could see that under the dim streetlights, the fox spirit was solemnly discussing something important with Ling Mo, her expression quite grave.
Although they couldn't hear the conversation between Meihu and Lingmo, they could tell from their body language that their relationship was definitely extraordinary.
Qin Beiming gazed intently at the two people under the lamplight, his heart filled with mixed emotions, and jealousy quietly welled up inside him without him even realizing it.
What they didn't know was that the fox spirit wasn't using the opportunity to flirt with Ling Mo; she was simply telling him everything she had recently investigated.
"Boss, it has now been confirmed that the person who posted the exorbitant bounty on the dark web, specifically asking the Divine Physician to take the job, is none other than Qin Beiming, the young master of the Qin family in Linjiang."
