Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Old Master Mo’s voice, powerful as a bell, faded Mo Shiting into silence.

Five kids?

He was taken aback for a moment, a special glint flashed in his eyes.

Unprepared for the old master’s “excessive” claim in front of Mo Shiting, Gu Li felt utterly embarrassed.

Unable to face anyone, she could only cover her face with both hands and shake her head vigorously.

Blimey, why did she have to mention the kids?

Now Brother Ting would definitely get the wrong idea.

Ahhh….

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Gu Li was, yet she was strangely curious about Mo Shiting’s reaction.

However, he avoided the topic with a poker face, “Grandpa, it’s getting late now. You should rest.”

“Oh.”

Old Master Mo glanced subconsciously at the European upright clock not far away. Seeing that it was already 11 o’clock, he patted his knee, “Oh, Little Pear and I were having such a good time chatting that I didn’t realize it was already so late. Alright, you guys should also rest early.”

After speaking, the old master slowly stood up.

Seeing this, Uncle Guan hurried over to support him.

Gu Li also had no choice but to stand up and say, “Grandpa, good night.”

“Good night.”

The old master lovingly waved his hand.

After taking a few steps towards the stairs, he suddenly turned his head and said to Gu Li, “Little Pear, remember our agreement. Good luck.”

Gu Li:”….”

After watching the old master and Uncle Guan go upstairs, the spacious living room was left with only Gu Li and Mo Shiting.

Gu Li’s pupils flickered, she was about to explain the “having five kids” part, but he reached out and stroked her fluffy hair, quietly saying, “Let’s go.”

“Oh.”

Gu Li responded softly.

Because of his deliberate avoidance, she felt a bit dejected.

Seeing him already turning to leave, she puffed her cheeks, then with her head hung low, she followed him.

The moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness to the sweltering night.

The two walked one after the other towards the Other Garden. Along the way, Mo Shiting remained silent, and Gu Li was also preoccupied, not speaking a word.

The air was eerily quiet.

Just when Gu Li thought this atmosphere would persist, Mo Shiting suddenly stopped by the lake.

Walking behind him, Gu Li hadn’t noted his abrupt halt and collided right into him.

“Bang.”

Her dainty nose hit his firm back hard, causing her to nearly shed tears of pain.

As she extended her hand trying to rub her aching nose, he had already spun around and cupped her chin, checking her nose with great care while asking, “Are you okay?”

Gu Li was already feeling down, but at his concern, the small grievance she felt evaporated in an instant.

“I’m okay, just a little sore. But I’m fine now.”

She pulled down his hand, tilted her face upwards, and bestowed him with a sweet smile.

Under the streetlamp, the girl’s smile was brighter than the stars. Mo Shiting couldn’t take his eyes off her for a moment, gazing at her without blinking.

The man’s gaze was intently concentrated yet tender as he regarded her as though she were his precious treasure. At this moment, Gu Li felt her heart thump chaotically in her chest, as if it were ready to spring from her throat.

“Brother Ting….”

She couldn’t help but call out his name.

Mo Shiting moved his handsome face closer, a hint of a smile playing about his eyes as he softly said, “Hmm?”

The way he intonates paints a picture of profound indulgence.

“If you keep staring at me like this, I might start to think that you like me too.”

She mustered up the courage to say.

Last but not least, whatever happens happens. She needs answers, doesn’t she?

After all, she can’t always remain in vague intimacy with him..
