Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

“Alright.”

Gu Li responded lightly and subconsciously sped up her pace.

The two hurried forward, leaving Gu Susu, who was in high heels, behind.

“Hey, wait for me?? ”

“Damn it!”

Seeing the distance was getting farther and farther, Gu Susu clenched her fists and stomped on the spot in anger.

Gosh darn it, Gu Li, I will make you pay!

It took Gu Li more than ten minutes to finally arrive at the main house where her father, Gu Yuan, resided.

Murong Si initially intended to accompany her to see Gu Yuan. However, as they approached the main house, the bodyguards stopped him, only allowing Gu Li to enter.

By this time, Gu Yuan was already waiting for her in his study.

He was under fifty years old, tall and large-built. His well-maintained facial features clearly showed his youthful handsome appearance. Upon closer inspection, you could see a resemblance between his domineering brows and Gu Li’s.

However, Gu Yuan had always been very strict with Gu Li. He never let her feel any warmth of fatherly love, hence, their father-daughter relationship was not good.

“Father.”

Gu Li came up to him, slightly bowed and greeted him.

Gu Yuan directly scolded, “Kneel.”

Gu Li didn’t protest and obediently complied.

After kneeling down, she held her back straight, looked up at Gu Yuan’s gloomy face, and truthfully explained, “Father, I know I acted impulsively by secretly marrying Mo Shiting. But I really couldn’t just stand by and watch him being listed as the top assassination target by Black Blood League. You know, if he hadn’t saved me when I was five years old, I would have been dead.”

The Black Blood League is the world’s top assassin group, with no record of failure. Therefore, when she accidentally found out that Mo Shiting was their target, she was completely panicked.

Luckily, the Leader of the Black Blood League owed Gu family a favor and promised not to harm any member of Gu family. As long as Brother Ting and I got married and he became part of Gu family, the Black Blood League would naturally not harm him to keep their promise.

She knew that by doing so, she definitely couldn’t escape the punishment of her family. However, compared to Brother Ting’s safety, what did a little punishment count for?

Thinking of this, Gu Li pursed her lips and added, “I am willing to accept punishment, just don’t make things difficult for Brother Ting. He knew nothing about this; he only agreed to get our marriage license because I tricked him.”

“So you’re willing to accept punishment!”

Gu Yuan was so angry that he banged on the table, “Fine, then I will indulge you. Someone!”

With this, two bodyguards wearing the emblem of Gu family immediately entered the room, “Family Head.”

“Take the young miss to the teaching building.”

“Yes.”

The teaching building, as its name implies, is a place set up by Gu family to punish those who make mistakes.

Gu Li was taken to one of the secret rooms in it, which contained a table, a chair, and a copy of the Diamond Sutra.

Ever since she was a child, she had been to the teaching building countless times, been whipped, forced to kneel on gravel, and seen all kinds of punishment tools. However, this was the first time she had seen such a simply furnished room.

Is this a new punishment method for her?

Gu Li frowned, she looked unintentionally at Uncle Tan, the steward who had brought her here.

Uncle Tan pointed to the book on the table and cleared his throat, “Miss, the Family Head instructed you to copy the contents of the Diamond Sutra. Only after copying it 20 times can you leave this secret room.”

“What did you say?”

Gu Li widened her eyes and couldn’t help raising her voice, “The Diamond Sutra has at least five or six thousand characters, right? If I have to copy it 20 times, isn’t that over a hundred thousand characters? You want me to copy until the year of the monkey?”

Uncle Tan’s eyes flickered, and he didn’t dare to meet her gaze, “I’m sorry, Miss. This is the Family Head’s order. This old servant is merely following orders.”

“No, I want to see him! I’d rather be whipped or kneel as punishment, than stay here copying this.”

After saying this, Gu Li bypassed him and made her way outside..
