Ye Xingbei pushed him to the table: "Aren’t you so prestigious?"

Ye Xingli and Zhi Foliu both greeted him: "Fifth Brother."

"I didn’t expect Ye Xingli’s girlfriend to be you," Gu Junzhu looked at Zhi Foliu, the corners of his lips slightly curled, "This is quite a coincidence. Our dessert shop is having a trial opening tomorrow. You’re a native of Beijing, and Beibei is new here. With you looking after things, I can be a bit more at ease."

Zhi Foliu was surprised: "Carved Time?"

She knew a dessert shop was opening next door, with an exceptionally exquisite and luxurious decor, but she was indifferent by nature, with hardly any curiosity, always keeping a distance from things that don’t concern her.

She never deliberately tried to find out who owned the dessert shop.

Moreover, the owner has always stayed behind the scenes, never appearing publicly.

She’s already accustomed to it.

The wealthier and more powerful people are, the more mysterious they tend to be. If they don’t show themselves, and she tries to find out, it might be annoying.

Annoying things are something she never does.

If Gu Junzhu hadn’t mentioned it, she still wouldn’t know that the owner of Carved Time was Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingli held her hand, joyfully saying: "Ah Fu, my sister’s café is opening near your flower shop, see how fated we are, right?"

Zhi Foliu didn’t say anything, just nodded gently, her eyes soft and sweet, making her already delicate and graceful appearance even more charming, causing Ye Xingli to stare.

Ye Xingbei: "..."

Her Brother Li is really... so useless!

Seeing Ye Xingli gazing at her foolishly, Zhi Foliu’s smile grew deeper. She couldn’t help but hold Ye Xingli’s hand in return, while looking at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei: "I didn’t expect Beibei to be Fifth Brother’s wife, what a small world."

Gu Junzhu nodded: "Indeed."

Beijing can seem big, but it’s actually quite small. There are plenty of wealthy people, but truly top-tier aristocratic families are just a few dozen.

They chatted casually for a while and then the dishes started coming.

Not six, but sixteen dishes.

Ye Xingbei asked the waiter: "Is this a mistake? We didn’t order this much."

"No," the waiter said respectfully, "a guest with the surname Li instructed us to serve these, he has already paid. He said to serve these ten dishes once your guests have arrived."

"Oh, I see." Ye Xingbei nodded.

The waiter bowed to her and then retreated.

Ye Xingbei turned to Gu Junzhu: "It’s Li Qi."

"Yes," Gu Junzhu’s lips curled: "He’s being sensible."

Ye Xingbei glared at him but ignored him.

Ye Xingli looked at Ye Xingbei, then at Gu Junzhu, puzzled by their cryptic exchange.

Zhi Foliu chuckled lightly, "Seventh Brother Li specifically instructed the waiter to serve the dishes only after Fifth Brother arrived, definitely trying to avoid unnecessary embarrassment. Who would’ve thought Seventh Brother Li could be so thoughtful?"

"Of course," Ye Xingli understood and muttered softly: "After all, it’s Fifth Brother. Who wouldn’t be scared? If it were me, I’d be terrified too!"

Ye Xingbei: "..."

He’s your brother-in-law!

Of all people, you shouldn’t be afraid, my dear brother!

Zhi Foliu saw Ye Xingbei’s speechless look and smiled while placing a piece of food onto Ye Xingli’s plate, "Ah Li, eat some food."

Ye Xingli immediately smiled like a large dog wagging its tail, serving several dishes for Zhi Foliu, "Ah Fu, you eat too."

Ye Xingbei: "..."

She leaned towards Gu Junzhu’s ear and said: "Hey, when we recruit disciples in the future, can we exclude males, let’s recruit female disciples!"
