It was normal for Bai Lang to say something plain. Such awkward words were really not suitable for his playboy style.

He would usually just say, “Brother Ye, I miss you. Hurry up and come to my place to receive your award.”

Wouldn’t that do!?

Gu Qiqi originally didn’t intend to pay attention to Bai Lang’s words.

However, just as she read the letter.

Gu Qiqi suddenly remembered that Young Master Ye’s championship gift was completely different from hers.

One of them looked like a small chunk of arctic cold stone.

Arctic cold stone was good for clearing heat and detoxification. It was especially suitable for Xiaobei.

Although it could not cure Xiaobei’s eye disease, it could ease his pain.

She could forgo other expensive herbs, but she had to retrieve this cold stone.

“I guess I’ll have to make the trip,” she muttered.

Gong Jue opened his sleepy eyes. “Where are you going?”

Gu Qiqi’s phone trembled. “Cough, cough, cough. It’s nothing. I’m going to the Bai family to get something. I’ll be back soon.”

“The Bai family? You want to see that brat Bai Lang?” Gong Jue wasn’t as adorable as usual. Instead, he was fiercely jealous.

How would Gu Qiqi know that he had woken up long ago? He stared at her slender back for a long time.

Even her changing her clothes was a feast for the eyes.

However, Gu Qiqi knew one thing very well.

Gong Jue had already made it clear that he didn’t like Young Master Ye and Bai Lang fooling around. She had to quickly end this and not let Gong Jue, the jealous man, explode.

She put on a sweet smile and waved her phone. “I’m going to the Bai family to get Xiao Bei’s medicine. Look if you don’t believe me.”

Gong Jue glanced at Bai Lang’s awkward text and got impatient. He only hurriedly glanced at the words “prize medicinal herbs” and knew that Gu Qiqi wasn’t lying to him. Only then did his expression improve.

Gu Qiqi struck while the iron was hot. “Besides, I’m so busy today. Many people asked me out. I can’t even stay in the Bai family for two minutes! Look, Qiu Qiu and Xiaolan are also asking me out. Our team has to celebrate in private…”

As she spoke, she showed Qiu Qiu and the others’ information to Gong Jue.

Gong Jue was very satisfied that Gu Qiqi was so honest. “Come back quickly.”

Just as Gu Qiqi was rejoicing in her heart that the stupid man was so easy to deal with today and that two messages had actually suppressed his jealousy—

Gong Jue suddenly said again, “Wait!”

“Ah? What else?” Gu Qiqi’s heart trembled.

Gong Jue narrowed his eyes and said unhappily, “They clearly invited me too. Why didn’t you say so? Don’t you want me to go out and meet people?”

“Huh? Were you?”

Gu Qiqi read the message again.

Damn, she missed it.

In the middle of the message from Qiu Qiu, there was a sentence: “Master, remember to bring Mistress along!”

The corners of Gu Qiqi’s lips twitched a few times. Why was this stupid man so self-aware that he actually took on the role of a mistress?

She spoke reluctantly. “I know you don’t like crowds, and you certainly don’t like eating with people you don’t know.”

Gong Jue said calmly, “Who said that? I like crowds. Besides, I know all those brats.”

Gu Qiqi said, “But you have a noble status. Those brats invited me to eat at roadside stalls…”

Gong Jue said, “It’s not like I haven’t eaten at roadside stalls before. Remember the first time you treated me to a meal. Didn’t we go to a roadside stall? How dare you say that?”

Gu Qiqi was speechless.

It was the truth!

The first time she invited him to dinner was at a roadside stall to eat spicy skewers…
