On the top floor of the Shen Group building, Shen Yanqing leaned back in a large executive chair with her legs crossed, the live broadcast of the audition playing on her computer screen…
Looking at the little woman on stage who seemed to glow when she sang, Shen Yanqing was momentarily lost in thought, unable to take his eyes off her.
When it came to the on-site voting, Gu Baiwei never expected that she would actually make it into the top 20 of the preliminary rounds, and even ranked third in votes. The top two were both well-known internet celebrity singers.
Ye Chuyue ranked sixth, which is a very good result for a newcomer.
Even after Ye Chuyue led her out of the hall, Gu Baiwei still felt a little unreal.
"Auntie, you're amazing! But why didn't you tell me you were signing up for the competition?"
Ye Chuyue looked at her with adoration, her eyes practically sparkling.
Gu Baiwei was a little embarrassed and was about to explain when she looked up and saw someone who surprised her greatly.
"Qi?"
Qi Yu leaned against the wall, fiddling with her phone, seemingly looking at something, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Hearing her voice, he suddenly raised his head, his dark eyes as deep and unfathomable as a cold pool.
The moment he saw it was her, his smile widened.
"Sister, what are you doing here?"
His voice was gentle, his eyes were warm, and he seemed very happy to see her.
Qi Yu casually stuffed his phone into his pocket. What Gu Baiwei didn't see was that the little red dot moving on his phone's map was in the exact same position as her.
Although Ye Chuyue's opinion of Qi Yu had changed somewhat because of what had happened before, she still subconsciously felt that Qi Yu's motives for approaching Gu Baiwei were impure.
She immediately stepped forward to stand between the two: "Qi, what are you doing here?"
Qi Yu casually raised her eyes, her voice still gentle: "I just happened to be passing by."
After saying that, she looked at Gu Baiwei with a smile: "Sister, you promised to treat me to dinner yesterday, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Gu Baiwei suddenly remembered the promise she had made casually, and hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, how could I forget? When is a convenient time for you?"
Qi Yu's smile widened, and his eyes looked at her intently: "It's convenient for me right now."
Gu Baiwei: "..." This child seems a bit too honest, not even bothering to be polite.
...
She went to get her car, telling Ye Chuyue and Qi Yu to wait for her where they were.
Qi Yu replied obediently, "Okay, sister."
Seeing how attentive he was to Gu Baiwei, Ye Chuyue's gaze instantly turned wary.
Qi Yu noticed her gaze and turned her head with a smile: "Is there something you want to say to me, Ye?"
"No."
Ye Chuyue replied coldly, and after a while, she couldn't help but add, "Don't waste your time. My aunt doesn't like people like you at all."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yu's smile remained unchanged: "Is that so?"
Just as Ye Chuyue was about to give him another good warning, a familiar male voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Little sister Chu Yue, where is your aunt?"
Hearing the voice, Ye Chuyue raised her eyebrows and pointed at Lu Ran who was walking towards them: "See? My aunt likes this kind of guy. He's handsome and has eight-pack abs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Baiwei's car stopped right in front of them, and Lu Ran immediately stepped forward with a grin: "Sister Weiwei."
Seeing that he was alone, Gu Baiwei's expression softened considerably, and she smiled politely at him, saying, "We're going to eat, would you like to come along?"
Lu Ran's eyes immediately lit up: "I couldn't ask for more."
Qi Yu stood behind Lu Ran, taking in the entire scene.
A faint smile still lingered on his lips, but his hands, hanging down, clenched into fists and then slowly relaxed, repeating this several times before he managed to restrain himself from rushing forward to pull the man away.
Lu Ran was completely unaware of all this. He ran to the passenger side and was about to open the car door when suddenly a pale, cold-skinned hand reached out and pressed on the door handle.
Lu Ran was taken aback: "What are you doing?"
Qi Yu smiled and met his gaze: "Excuse me, I get carsick. Could you please sit in the back, Uncle?"
"uncle?"
Lu Ran's face darkened instantly. He called Gu Baiwei "sister" and him "uncle." This kid was obviously doing it on purpose.
"Sister Weiwei..."
He looked at Gu Baiwei in the driver's seat with a resentful expression, only to find that she was looking straight ahead without glancing to the side, but was forcibly suppressing a smile.
Qi Yu looked at Gu Baiwei with an equally obedient expression: "Sister, can I sit in the front?"
That delicate face paired with innocent and pitiful eyes made Gu Baiwei's heart race for a moment. No wonder they say younger men are alluring; it's true.
She coughed lightly to cover her embarrassment: "Of course."
Lu Ran glared at Qi Yu and reluctantly sat in the back seat.
Gu Baiwei quickly drove them to a simply decorated Chinese restaurant.
As soon as the car stopped, Qi Yu considerately went around to the other side and opened the car door for Gu Baiwei. Lu Ran was a step slower, gritting his teeth. He was now quite certain that this kid had ulterior motives.
As soon as she got out of the car, Ye Chuyue grinned and went up to Gu Baiwei, taking her arm.
Qi Yu's gaze fell on Gu Baiwei's fair arm, which was being held by her, his eyes filled with an unfathomable expression.
Just then, a car sped past, startling Gu Baiwei. Her first reaction was to push Ye Chuyue away, but it was too late for her to dodge.
Fortunately, an arm firmly embraced her slender waist, pulling her into his arms.
The car sped past, and Lu Ran angrily cursed, "How do you drive? Are you blind?"
Just as he was about to turn around and ask Gu Baiwei if she was alright, he saw Qi Yu's arm tightly pressed against Gu Baiwei's slender waist, and his face instantly darkened.
