They looked at each other, none of them taking the gifts.
Seeing this, Jiang Mo spoke up, "Sisters, just accept them."
Seeing Jiang Mo nod and give the word, they finally took the gifts.
Zhang Qingqing whispered into Guo Yanni's ear, "This whole set isn't cheap. He's really generous."
"Yeah, and he's quite considerate, getting gifts for us too," Guo Yanni replied, stealing another glance and sighing inwardly, wow, a celebrity sure is handsome.
Li Wan'er clicked her tongue in admiration. "See? This is what you call understated luxury with substance. Comrade Gu Ye is so talented and handsome, he and Xiao Mo are simply a match made in heaven."
"Totally, you two are just ridiculously perfect for each other," Zhang Qingqing expressed her thoughts even more directly.
Jiang Mo facepalmed, vaguely catching sight of Gu Ye's lips curling into a smile.
Seriously? A few small gifts and you're all bought over, spouting a whole basketful of compliments.
Guo Yanni also wanted to praise him and say "same here," but she had a sudden inspiration. "I think Gu Ye is much more handsome than Tan Xiaowen."
Tan Xiaowen was another male actor, considered the same type as Gu Ye, a competitor—basically rivals. Their fanbases often clashed.
As soon as she said this, everyone looked over at her.
Jiang Mo was aware of this too and couldn't help but think, wow, sister, you're really well-versed in entertainment industry gossip. Most people wouldn't know that detail.
Your angle for giving compliments... is a bit unique.
After this little episode, the atmosphere became much more lively.
Seeing this, Gu Ye invited everyone to order. "Everyone, take a look and order whatever you like. Feel free, don't worry about saving money for me."
Jiang Mo also looked at the menu. The prices were quite impressive as well.
Gu Ye, beside her, suggested, "This fish is the restaurant's signature dish. It should suit your taste."
"Then let's order the fish," Jiang Mo said. "Any other recommendations?"
"These two dishes are also good," Gu Ye continued recommending. "The portions here aren't large, so we can order a few more."
Jiang Mo and Gu Ye occupied one corner of the sofa.
Not wanting to disturb the young couple, Li Wan'er and the other two huddled together to look at the menu.
"So expensive," Guo Yanni muttered quietly. "One dish here could buy dozens of bowls of the most expensive noodles at my family's shop."
"I can't bring myself to order either. The gifts he gave us weren't cheap," Zhang Qingqing chimed in.
The result was, after a long time looking, Jiang Mo noticed on the tablet that only the few dishes she had ordered were listed.
"Why haven't you all ordered anything?"
"Well, we're not picky, and our appetites aren't huge. We think what you've ordered is enough," Li Wan'er said. Even though he's treating, we shouldn't just go wild.
"Your appetites aren't huge? Since when?" Jiang Mo called them out.
Gu Ye understood their hesitation immediately. "If you won't order, then based on my experience, I'll add a few more dishes for everyone," he said decisively, adding several more items to the order.
Soon, dishes began arriving one after another. They moved to the dining table, chatting as they ate.
Zhang Qingqing, a bit curious, asked, "Comrade Gu Ye, is our Xiao Mo your first girlfriend?"
"Yes, my first love," Gu Ye nodded.
"Ooh, first love! Was it love at first sight with Xiao Mo, or did feelings develop over time?"
Gu Ye glanced at Jiang Mo and volunteered the information, "Love at first sight. I had a crush on her for a long time before."
Jiang Mo blushed under Gu Ye's gaze, especially discussing such things in front of her good friends.
A maiden's blush speaks more than any words.
Looking at Jiang Mo's rosy cheeks, Gu Ye thought if her friends weren't there, he'd really want to pull her into his arms.
