After watching Gu Xun walk away, Jiang Mo finally spoke up, "Are we really having dinner with Young Master Gu tonight?"
"What's the matter? Don't you want to? My brother has good taste in food. We're just going for a free meal," Gu Ye said. "If you're not willing, I'll tell my brother."
"It's not that I'm unwilling," Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow. "If we don't go, Young Master Gu will definitely start speculating about me."
"Somehow, hearing you call my brother 'Young Master Gu' feels a bit awkward. Why don't you just call him 'big brother' like I do?"
"I used to call him that before, what's the difference?"
"Well, our relationship status is different now," Gu Ye said, taking a sip of water.
Hearing this, Jiang Mo remembered to ask, "Does Young Master Gu know about our relationship now?"
Gu Ye nodded. "My brother watched us for quite a while. How could he not figure it out."
True, Jiang Mo pursed her lips.
The environment at the riding club was excellent, offering plenty of recreational activities, as well as projects like camping and outdoor picnics.
The two decided not to move elsewhere, planning to spend the day there taking care of food, drink, and entertainment, then go for the free dinner in the evening.
When they met up that evening at the private restaurant by the lake, Jiang Mo saw Huo Nanyin, whom she hadn't met in a long time.
"Sister Nanyin!" Jiang Mo greeted her.
Huo Nanyin smiled. "Hey, long time no see. I haven't congratulated you yet on soon becoming a great lawyer."
"Here, this is a gift for your new job. It's not worth much, but you can admire it when you're tired from work."
Then she handed over a very cute money tree potted plant.
Last night, Jiang Mo had posted a moment about returning to the legal profession.
Huo Nanyin, having received a message from Gu Xun in the morning, had specially bought a small gift.
"Thank you~ It's so cute, it'll be perfect on the desk," Jiang Mo said, surprised to receive a gift.
Meanwhile, Gu Ye's mind was racing, thinking about what small onboarding gift he should prepare for Jiang Mo.
Otherwise, he'd seem really clueless.
After watching everyone finish their greetings, Gu Xun spoke up, "Alright, everyone, please take a seat."
The window seat offered a perfect view of the lake and the night scenery outside.
Gu Ye pulled out the chair for Jiang Mo to sit, then took the seat next to her.
"What would you like to drink? There are several famous dishes here. We'll order them later, you can try them all. If they're good, we'll come back next time."
Jiang Mo smiled sheepishly and nudged him with her elbow. "Let Young Master Gu and Sister Nanyin look first."
Gu Xun glanced over. "Order whatever you want to eat. We're all family here, make yourselves at home."
Gu Ye, worried that Jiang Mo might hold back and feel embarrassed about ordering, swiftly tapped away and ordered several dishes.
Jiang Mo loved to eat. His own girlfriend's stomach, he had to take good care of it.
Jiang Mo tried to stop him but failed.
Huo Nanyin watched the interaction across the table without saying a word. It was quite amusing.
Jiang Mo was also observing. Based on her experience analyzing novels on Fanqie, Young Master Gu seemed to have the intention of rekindling an old flame.
I wonder if these two have gotten back together yet?
Unclear, need to observe more.
She was just thinking to herself when Gu Ye spoke up very directly and bluntly, "Sister Nanyin, have you been seeing my brother a lot lately?"
"I mean, as netizens say, if you can't be lovers, you can still be friends, right?"
"Are you looking for trouble?" Gu Xun seemed to say through gritted teeth.
"Your brother said today that this meal is to celebrate Jiang Mo's new job, so I shamelessly came along for the free meal," Huo Nanyin explained.
Now it was Jiang Mo's turn to be confused. So this little Gu Ye used her as an excuse to ask someone out to dinner?
From the sound of it, were these two still in a 'will-they-won't-they' phase?
However, Young Master Gu's face had to be maintained.
"Yes, in the future, Sister Nanyin, or if any of your relatives or friends need legal assistance, you can all come to me."
Huo Nanyin: "Sure thing, Great Lawyer Jiang."
Jiang Mo waved her hand and chuckled. "I'm still far from being a great lawyer."
“What's the name of your law firm again? You can send the firm's business card to Zhuge Shen. We can discuss potential business cooperation with the group,” Gu Xun spoke up, offering a cooperation opportunity.
Compared to his annoying, chatterbox of a younger brother, Gu Xun was quite generous towards the clever and sweet-talking Jiang Mo.
Jiang Mo's mouth fell open. A business opportunity falling from the sky? She hadn't even started work yet and was already bringing results to the firm?
"Thank you, Young Master Gu!"
"Thank you, big brother!" Gu Ye admitted he might have spoken a bit too loudly earlier.
