Chapter 151: Chapter 151: The Phone Was Stolen

He fell silent for half a minute, and under her eager gaze, he reached out a long arm to grab the smartphone beside him and placed it in Gu Qili’s hand, then bent his head back down to continue his work with a look that seemed to say ’suit yourself’.

Gu Qili, gleefully holding his phone, opened the APP and it asked for a password, so she handed it back to him.

He didn’t even look at it and quickly rattled off a mix of English letters and numbers. Fortunately, her memory was good enough to remember it all instantly.

While waiting for the download, Gu Qili sneaked a peek at him and noticing his focus on the dense files, she quietly tapped towards his photo album.

Though snooping wasn’t exactly nice, she was just too curious. What if there were photos stored in his phone? Was there one of Xiao Yu?

But she hadn’t even touched the screen when she suddenly heard a cool voice from beside her: "What are you looking at?"

Damn, does he have eyes all over?

With no choice, Gu Qili could only obediently place the phone back on the table, chuckling awkwardly, and shook her head: "Nothing," and didn’t dare to overstep anymore.

Using his phone number, she setup an account and chose a rather ordinary profile picture for him. After organizing everything, she returned the phone to him: "All done."

But Mu Shuoqian didn’t take it back. "Add yourself in."

"Huh?" Gu Qili bit her fingertip.

He squinted his eyes, his gaze inquiring and so deep that she suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Actually, there was nothing shameful, just...

"Hold on then," Gu Qili hurriedly took out her own phone, deleted all the foolish and silly information from her Moments, and only after ensuring she only left upscale, rich environments did she scan her QR code with his phone.

In her phone, she had countless contacts and many friends; a lot you couldn’t place by photos alone, and several you still couldn’t even after viewing the photos. However, in his phone, it was clean and only she was there, all alone.

Despite that, Gu Qili still secretly felt a burst of joy in her heart.

The joy didn’t last long before a succession of messages started popping up,

almost all from the aristocratic sons of the six major families.

Most had a tone of suspicion, but Leng Shaoqing spoke everyone’s thoughts straightforwardly: "It’s over, the phone’s been hacked."

Gu Qili: "..."

Was their response really that dramatic?

Not wanting to make decisions on her own, she handed him the phone: "Zhuo Yanbei and the others want to add you."

Mu Shuoqian didn’t even look at it, coldly replying: "Ignore these idle people."

Idle people? Gu Qili swallowed hard; well, the sons of the six major families were practically idle layabouts in his eyes.

She obediently didn’t add anyone, leaving the contact book still showing only herself.

Not adding others, just to communicate with her alone?

Gu Qili wanted to send him the group photo they took today, but after thinking about it, she decided against it—who knew if he cared about it or not? The look on his face when seeing the photos wasn’t exactly warm. If he rejected it, it would be super embarrassing.

After finishing all this, Gu Qili washed up and went to bed, while Mu Shuoqian was still working. She lay alone in bed staring at the ceiling, so bored she thought of putting her own feet in her mouth, turned over a few times, suddenly got curious, covered herself with a blanket,

"I’m going to sleep now, good night."

Mu Shuoqian heard a ’ding’ from the phone—this wasn’t a sound he was used to. Frowning, he picked it up and saw, his lips unconsciously curling upwards, and he set aside his work.
