Lan Qingyue's forehead was covered in question marks; she was almost petrified. The two of them were talking about "gossip."

The two people opposite were getting closer and closer. Elsa greeted them politely once again, "Wei Yu, Mr. Ji, it's been a long time."

"This is my friend Lan Qingyue," Elsa introduced.

She tried her best to greet them with a polite smile. Ji Junyao nodded politely, while Wei Yu's attitude was much better. She had a smile on her face, although she was still cold. At least she extended her hand and said, "Hello, my name is Wei Yu. It's nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too."

Lan Qingyue reacted quickly, shaking hands briefly. Wei Yu then asked, "Elsa, are you going to eat here? Or have you already finished eating?"

"We just arrived."

"That's perfect! We haven't seen each other in a long time, why don't we go together?"

Then, she looked at the "high-voltage" Ji Junyao beside her with a troubled expression, "Mr. Ji, if you have something to say..."

The implication is that you're busy and should leave soon.

The three girls blinked their big eyes, staring nervously at Ji Junyao, who seemed to keep everyone at arm's length.

Lan Qingyue was the most embarrassed of the three of them. Meeting a stranger, especially such an imposing stranger, made her feel awkward and nervous.

Eating together always feels awkward.

Elsa didn't think as much as Lan Qingyue did, but Wei Yu and Ji Junyao came out together. Could it be that she and Lan Qingyue were right about what they were gossiping about?

Wei Yu's thoughts were much simpler. He saw Ji Junyao at the company, he saw Ji Junyao at home, he even ran into him when he went out for a meal. The best way to describe it was with four words: "a persistent ghost."

Ji Junyao put his hand behind Wei Yu's back and said, "It's lunchtime, and I'm hungry too. Why don't I join everyone?"

Several girls: "..."

The waiter cheerfully ushered them into the private room, where they ordered and waited for the food to be served. During the ten or so minutes that followed, the atmosphere in the private room was incredibly awkward, at least for Lan Qingyue. The only person she was familiar with there was Elsa; the other two were complete strangers to her.

During this time, Ji Junyao openly peeled shrimp for Wei Yu, his domineering manner making it seem as if he wanted to feed her directly.

Lan Qingyue: "..."

Is this even food?

Dog food, please!

But... beautiful lady across from me, your attitude is too cold.

A handsome guy will peel shrimp for you!

I want to too!

But I don't have any handsome guys!

Sigh~

Wei Yu had been very resistant, but because there were other people around, she couldn't openly refuse Ji Junyao and offend him, so she could only eat the crayfish on the plate one bite at a time.

Lan Qingyue occasionally glanced at the two people opposite her. Looking at Wei Yu's expression, he was frowning, unwilling, and clearly in pain, but he was forcing himself to endure it.

The domineering CEO falls in love with me?

I don't like domineering CEOs?

She's encountered something straight out of a novel!

Despite the delicious lunch, Lan Qingyue could barely eat a few bites in this atmosphere, and waited agonizingly until it ended.

As Ji Junyao led Wei Yu away, Lan Qingyue's smile vanished. Holding Elsa's arm, she said weakly, "Hey, Ji Junyao is handsome, but he's too cold. I can't even eat because he's so cold."

Elsa tapped Lan Qingyue's forehead and laughed, "You seem to be having a lot of fun eating melon seeds!"

"Huh?" Lan Qingyue excitedly shook off Elsa's hand, giving her a haughty sidelong glance. "Tch, when did I become a gossip?"

"I know you too well. You seem aloof on the outside, but you're a little girl at heart and love gossip."
