Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

“Alright.”

Indeed, it was Gu Li’s habit to drink a glass of milk before bed, hence she didn’t decline.

Picking up the cup of milk, ready to sip, she noticed Yi Bing still standing. She offered her a warm smile, “It’s late, you should go to bed. I’ll be fine.”

Yi Bing had intended to watch Gu Li consume the milk. However, since Gu Li suggested she leave, she was afraid lingering might arouse suspicion. So, she nodded, “Alright, goodnight.”

She bowed to Gu Li before exiting the room.

Once the door closed, Gu Li lifted the milk cup and took a sip. The mild milky flavor quickly filled her taste buds. She licked her lips, tasted again, her twinkling eyes narrowed, swiftly catching a hint of strange aroma.

During the night, Yi Bing sneaked into Gu Li’s room.

With the help of moonlight from outside the window, the sight of an empty milk cup on the table relieved her a bit.

Approaching the bed, she saw Gu Li sleeping soundly, a slight smile appeared on her lips. Yi Bing whispered to herself, “Have a good sleep, Young Madam. Even without an entrance test, Young Master Mo could easily get you into Imperial City University. Please don’t blame me.”

After mentally expressing these words, she prepared to leave, but suddenly, she heard an ice-cold voice from behind, “What are you doing in my room at this hour?”

Boom-

How did she wake up?

Did she not drink the milk?

Yi Bing froze in shock, turning around in disbelief.

At this moment, Gu Li had already risen from her bed. She aggressively switched on the room’s light illuminating the entire room, stinging Yi Bing’s eyes.

Yi Bing subconsciously shielded her eyes. After a while, she slowly lowered her hand. Not sure if it was discomfort from the light or guilt towards facing Gu Li.

As a trained special agent, Yi Bing had learned to handle crisis situations. Regaining her calm, she said,

“Young Madam-”

She bowed to Gu Li, “I heard strange noises from your room and came to check. Now that I see you’re alright, I can relax.”

“Really?”

Gu Li walked up to her with a mocking smirk, “I thought you came to confirm whether I drank the milk.”

Caught off guard by her pointed accusation, Yi Bing’s heart skipped a beat, “Young Madam, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“You don’t?”

Gu Li hooked her lips in a cold smile, not bothering to beat around the bush, “Who instructed you to drug my milk to disrupt my exam tomorrow?” Even a delay of 10 minutes would disqualify her.

Yi Bing’s face shifted slightly, refusing to confess, “What sleeping pill? Young Madam, don’t falsely accuse me.”

“Should I present evidence?”

Gu Li crossed her arms and asked, looking up.

Despite her shorter stature compared to Yi Bing, her presence was compelling, leaving Yi Bing in awe.

Yi Bing’s eyes flickered, ready to continue her denial when Gu Li interjected, “I’ve taken a sample of the milk and can send it for testing anytime; you won’t be able to deny it.”

After a moment of silence, Yi Bing couldn’t help but ask, “How did you find out about the sleeping pill?”

Oh well, since her plan had been exposed, if she were to die, she deserved to know why.

However, she never imagined that as a top-agent of “Hawk”, she would fail a simple mission like this.

Perhaps, from this point forward, her career as a special agent was at an end?

The more Yi Bing thought about it, the more she refused to accept the situation..
