"Come on, follow me," Ji Ling said, pulling Gu Yangtao along.
"What are you doing? Where are we going? What do you want?" Gu Yangtao crossed her arms and looked at Ji Ling warily.
"What are you thinking? Don't you want to eat? Let's go order. When the food is served, do you think they'll still be able to keep discussing? Let's go," Ji Ling said, putting his arm around Gu Yangtao's waist and walking forward.
"You're right," Gu Yangtao said, instantly cheered up at the thought of having something to eat.
"You're so silly," Ji Ling said, smiling at Gu Yangtao with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes. But when Gu Yangtao looked over, he quickly resumed his normal expression.
"Ji Ling?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to die?"
"Hmm?"
"Ah!!!"
The last scream was from Ji Ling. But to avoid embarrassing himself too much, he lowered his voice, so not many people noticed. However, Ji Ling was too charming, and Gu Yangtao was so cute. The two of them standing together were bound to attract attention. So quite a few people saw what had happened, but they all tactfully turned away, pretending they had seen and heard nothing.
"It hurts, Gu Xiaotao. Are you a tigress?" Ji Ling complained as he pulled his hand out of Gu Yangtao's. He had forgotten that the Gu sisters were both judo black belts. Despite Gu Yangtao's innocent appearance, she was not to be underestimated.
"You put your hand on my waist. You're the one being inappropriate," Gu Yangtao said. She was not someone to be trifled with. If she couldn't beat Gu Chenfei, surely she could deal with this effeminate-looking Ji Ling.
Ji Ling had nothing to say. He knew he was in the wrong and had to admit it.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. Can you let go now? My hand hurts so much," Ji Ling said, quickly admitting defeat in the face of this "evil force."
"That's better," Gu Yangtao said, satisfied. Then she skipped off to order food.
Ji Ling watched Gu Yangtao's lively back and couldn't help smiling. "When will this little girl grow up?" he murmured.
At the front desk, Gu Yangtao said she wanted to order. The receptionist was confused. There was a waiter not far from their table. Wouldn't it be more convenient to just call the waiter over and order? Why go through all this trouble? Were these rich people just too idle? But out of a sense of service, the receptionist helped Gu Yangtao place the order.
"Actually, miss, you could have asked our waiter to help you order. The waiter is not far from you. It would be very convenient," the receptionist said. But Gu Yangtao was busy looking at the menu and didn't have time to answer. The receptionist felt a bit awkward.
"Shh, it's because my two friends are discussing something. It's not good to interrupt them," Ji Ling said, arriving a bit late and picking up the conversation.
When the receptionist looked up and saw Ji Ling's charming face, she was stunned. She had never seen a man so good-looking. Even women would feel inferior in comparison.
Just as Gu Yangtao had decided what to eat and looked up, she saw the receptionist staring at Ji Ling. Instantly, she felt annoyed.
"Ouch," Ji Ling staggered a bit. He was about to put his hand on Gu Yangtao's waist again, but was deterred by her glare.
She's so petty, Ji Ling thought to himself.
"Hello, these are the dishes we want. Less scallions and less spicy. Thank you," Gu Yangtao said, reporting the dish names to the receptionist. Then she politely thanked the receptionist and left. As she left, she stepped hard on Ji Ling's foot. Then she left haughtily in her high heels, while Ji Ling limped behind her, hopping on one foot.
He had to admit that being stepped on by high heels several times was really painful.
When they got back, as expected, Gu Sisi and Gu Chenfei were still discussing. Gu Yangtao had already sat down on one side, plugged in her earphones, and was listening to music, completely ignoring Ji Ling.
Ji Ling sat down on his own, cracking the sunflower seeds he had taken from the receptionist. He watched Gu Chenfei and Gu Sisi leisurely. He had known that Gu Chenfei was serious when it came to business, but he had never expected her to be this serious.
Tsk tsk tsk. Ji Ling had never seen Gu Chenfei like this before. He had always seen her as domineering, strong, and unreasonable... In short, she was completely different from the gentle, kind, and smiling woman in front of him.
Ji Ling began to suspect that either Gu Chenfei had been replaced or he was seeing a ghost. But as a doctor, believing in science, Ji Ling would rather believe that Gu Chenfei liked Gu Sisi.
He wondered if Gu Chenfei would kill him if she knew what he was thinking. Ji Ling changed his posture and continued to think.
Just then, the dishes they had ordered were served.
Gu Yangtao was the first to react. It was hard to believe that just three seconds ago, she had been sitting there, not even bothering to move. But now, three seconds later, she was already holding the chopsticks and bowls, ready to eat.
Ji Ling put his hand on his forehead, amazed at her rapid action. Yes, rapid. The pain in his foot was still there. He suspected that his foot was either swollen or about to be swollen...
"Sisi jie, jie jie, let's eat. Look, the food is here. Aren't you hungry?" Gu Yangtao looked at the two of them pitifully, trying to use her cuteness to persuade them to start eating.
"Growl" As if to echo Gu Yangtao, Gu Sisi's stomach growled at the right moment.
"I'm really a bit hungry," Gu Sisi said, embarrassed as she rubbed her stomach. She really didn't mean for it to growl.
Hearing Gu Sisi's stomach growl, Gu Chenfei, who had been silent all this time, finally moved.
"Then let's eat first," she said.
Just these six short words instantly excited Gu Yangtao. Since her sister had spoken, she could finally eat.
Gu Yangtao was in a great mood. She winked at Ji Ling, but Ji Ling could only read one message from her expression: "Look at you. If it weren't for me, would you be able to eat?"
Ji Ling knew when to back off. Thinking of the way Gu Yangtao had stepped on his foot just now, he decided to be more careful. So he started to pick food for Gu Yangtao. Unfortunately, he didn't know Gu Yangtao's taste, so he picked all the dishes she didn't like. Once or twice was okay, but Ji Ling kept doing it.
"Ji Ling. Are you crazy? Stop picking food for me. Don't you know I hate broccoli the most?" Gu Yangtao said.
Ji Ling was very uncomfortable. He really didn't know.
Just as he was feeling embarrassed, Gu Sisi received a call from Sister Hu. After listening to what Sister Hu said, Gu Sisi looked very solemn.
"Sister Hu said that someone from the Huo family has come," Gu Sisi said.
