Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

They bumped into each other, they bumped into each other. If this isn’t love, then what justice is there left in the world?

Shi Li CP, eternally standing tall!

Of course, Auntie Guan could not possibly understand such trendy terms. However, the shock in her heart was more or less the same.

“Where’s the pot?”

Mo Shiting couldn’t find a pot to cook noodles and he asked Auntie Guan about it.

Quickly, Auntie Guan stifled the amused grin on her face, turned and went to a wall-mounted drawer and took out a small pot.

Just as she was about to help wash the pot, she was stopped by Mo Shiting. He said, “I’ll do it myself.”

Since he had agreed to cook noodles for Gu Li, it had to be a labor of his own.

Seeing this, Auntie Guan merely nodded her agreement, her excitement about the CP increasing even more.

She won’t allow it. First thing in the morning, she will have to report this to the old man.

Mo Shiting, busy with his cooking task, was oblivious to Auntie Guan’s gossiping. He took out his phone, searched for noodle-cooking videos, and began watching and learning from the ones that looked good.

Smart people learn quickly. Cooking noodles, of course, wouldn’t prove difficult for him.

However, the noodles that ended up in the bowl were nowhere near as appealing as what he had seen in the videos.

Compared to that, Mo Shiting was very dissatisfied.

Auntie Guan kindly encouraged him, “Young Master, this is your first time cooking. It’s already great that you could do this. The most important part of cooking is the thought and taste, not looks. Moreover, the food in these videos has filters that you young people use. Um, yes, that’s it.”

“Really?”

Mo Shiting furrowed his brows, scooped a mouthful to taste, found that the taste was actually acceptable, and hence, discarded the idea of redoing it.

After all, he didn’t want to keep Gu Li waiting too long.

With the task accomplished, a bowl of steaming hot noodles with leafy greens and poached egg was ready.

Auntie Guan fetched a tray for him.

Mo Shiting personally placed the bowl of noodles on it before carrying the tray upstairs.

Watching him leave, Auntie Guan’s smile broadened.

If she was only guessing before, now she was one hundred percent certain that the noodles were made for Young Madam.

On the other hand.

To help reduce the swelling of her lip faster, Gu Li sneaked off to the gym as soon as Mo Shiting left.

There was a fridge there, filled with various drinks, bottled water, and ice packs.

Gu Li swiftly grabbed an ice pack and ran back to her room.

Fearing Mo Shiting’s mockery, she chose to hide in the bathroom.

There were no chairs inside, so she simply sat on the toilet seat, applying the ice pack while looking in the mirror and using the restroom.

At least her lips didn’t swell up like sausages. Otherwise, she wouldn’t let him kiss her anymore.

Was this man a bit too vigorous lately?

Just a kiss was enough to leave her in this state. If they were to do that kind of thing, wouldn’t it…

Uh uh uh…

Gu Li shivered at the thought, feeling an unexplained pain and not daring to think further.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t even notice Mo Shiting entering the room.

Until-

“Gu Li?”

“Time to eat.”

Seeing the bathroom door wasn’t completely closed, Mo Shiting simply walked over and opened it.

“Gu…”

He initially thought she was washing her face, but upon seeing the scene before him, he was taken aback. Her name got stuck in his throat.

“Ah—Why did you open the door?”

Gu Li also got startled and instinctively hid the ice pack.

But realizing she was already caught in the act, it was too late to hide it now.

So, she decided to face it head-on. She stood up, walked up to him, looked up, and said nonchalantly, “I didn’t realize applying ice would be so effective. Have a look, aren’t my lips less swollen?”
