They arrived at the Xinghe Group around noon.
Gu Li confidently walked into the CEO’s office only to unexpectedly find Tang Yue there as well.
Early in the morning, Tang Wan went back to M Country. After seeing her off at the airport, Tang Yue remembered that he had something to discuss with Mo Shiting, so he went straight to the Xinghe Group to find him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Li, who was supposed to be in Imperial City University, showed up.
Seeing her, Tang Yue was delighted and immediately suggested, “How about I treat you two to lunch?”
“Sure, we’d love to have lunch together. However, as the hosts, we should be the ones treating you.”
Gu Li said with a teasing smile, “It’s the perfect season for eating hairy crabs. Why don’t we have a crab feast? I know a nice place.”
Tang Yue: “Sounds good.”
“And what about you, Brother Ting?”
Gu Li turned to Mo Shiting.
Mo Shiting gave a slight nod, “Whatever the wife says. I’ll do as you say.”
Gu Li was somewhat embarrassed that he flirted with her directly in front of Tang Yue.
However, Tang Yue was relatively calm. After all, Mo Shiting had often flaunted the couple’s affection in front of him, acting as if he was the only married man in the world.
He had previously warned Mo Shiting to stop, but Mo Shiting retorted that he, as a single man, wouldn’t understand the joy of publicly expressing affection.
Had they not been business partners, Tang Yue might have chosen to stop associating with him altogether.
…
Parking lot.
Mo Shiting was driving, Gu Li was sitting in the passenger seat, and Tang Yue was in the back seat.
As soon as he got into the car, Tang Yue told Mo Shiting, “Pull up the partition.”
“Why so? Don’t you want to chat with us?”
Gu Li looked at him in surprise.
Tang Yue glanced at Mo Shiting and said quietly, “I am afraid of being fed too much lovey-dovey stuff, and not being able to eat lunch.”
Gu Li: “… Surely it’s not that bad?”
“How about I go back and sit with you?”
Gu Li suggested with a smile.
For some reason, she quite liked Tang Yue. He felt so approachable, just like a big brother.
As she finished saying this and was about to change seats, Mo Shiting’s response was faster than anyone else’s, and he immediately pulled up the partition.
Gu Li: “…”
This man was too…over the top, right?
No wonder Tang Yue jokingly referred to them like that.
“Brother Ting, is that really necessary?”
Gu Li murmured softly.
Mo Shiting replied righteously, “Absolutely!”
Gu Li: “…”
…
In the back seat, Tang Yue was lazily playing with his phone with his legs crossed. He received a WeChat message from Tang Wan, telling him that her plane was about to take off.
Tang Yue replied immediately: “Alright, have a safe trip.”
Tang Wan: “Yining is a good girl, you need to seize the opportunity to get her. Try to take her home when you come back.”
Tang Yue: “…”
Did his sister misunderstand something?
But that Miss Ye did seem to have won his sister’s favor.

The place where Gu Li suggested for the crab feast was a high-end restaurant with its own gardens and an exquisite view.
The most famous dish here was the steamed hairy crab, attracting numerous gourmets.
Mo Shiting parked the car in front of the restaurant, and immediately there was a valet to assist them.
He naturally held Gu Li’s hand and walked in, while Tang Yue, the third wheel, trailed behind, maintaining a meter’s distance from them.
“Hello, my last name is Gu. I have just booked a private room.”
Gu Li took the initiative to register at the lobby’s front desk.
The young woman at the front desk was dazzled by the outstanding looks of Gu Li and Mo Shiting and momentarily forgot to respond.
“Miss?”
Gu Li lightly tapped the front desk to remind the girl.
“Oh, alright, please wait.”
The girl quickly came back to earth, carefully checked the booking record on the computer, and soon called the server assigned to their private room to guide them.
The server was a friendly young man who introduced their signature dishes all along the way.
Gu Li was very interested, her mouth watering in anticipation.
Once they reached the private room on the fifth floor, they were greeted by a grand floor-to-ceiling window with unparalleled views of the lake.
“Please sit, Brother Tang.”
Feeling that calling him “President Tang” would be too formal, Gu Li decided to change how she addressed him.
Tang Yue was slightly taken aback, but he readily accepted it after a brief pause.
Following the server’s recommendations, Gu Li started ordering their dishes, ensuring they tried all the signature dishes.
After ordering, the server left.
Tang Yue and Mo Shiting naturally switched to discussing business matters.
Gu Li didn’t interrupt them; instead, she stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, took out her phone and started taking pictures of the scenery by the lake.
She happily took a few shots of the outside scene, paired it with a selfie, and posted it on her social media feed with the caption: [Enjoying a crab feast in this golden autumn season! Craving.jpg]
The moment it was posted, several classmates liked it.
