Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

At this time, the Mo family members had finished worshiping their ancestors. Everyone was gathered at the gate of the main house, with Mo Shiting joining them, except for the eldest among them, Mo Xingxian, who had left early.

“Grandpa, hello to all my uncles and great uncles.”

Everyone there were his elders, Mo Shiting politely greeted each one. Without waiting for their responses, he asked, “Why did everyone call me over so early?”

After hearing this, the crowd glanced at each other.

An hour ago, they had wished nothing more than for Mo Shiting to appear immediately so they could remonstrate with him, but now, having all agreed to keep everything secret, they felt rather awkward upon seeing Mo Shiting.

However, this group of cunning old foxes were only slightly stunned momentarily before they started to think quickly.

“Today is an auspicious day. Seventh Uncle suggested that we all come to worship our ancestors which will also bring blessings upon the Mo family for countless generations.”

Mo Jianyu adjusted his glasses and explained with a smile, “The notice was rather last minute – you missed the auspicious time, but we all understand. You shouldn’t worry about it.”

Finishing his words, he looked towards Mo Shaoyuan, “Right, Uncle?”

While Mo Shaoyuan internally cursed at him, he had no choice but to nod in agreement, “Yes. Since the ancestral rites are over, there is nothing else. Everyone, please feel free to leave.”

“Okay, Uncle.”

Having achieved what they came for, Mo Jianming and his brother naturally did not wish to stay.

The others felt the same, and they took turns saying their farewells to Old Master Mo.

Soon, the vast courtyard of the main house was left with only Mo Shiting and Mo Shitian.

“Grandpa, did they really just come here to worship our ancestors?”

Mo Shiting frowned, clearly not believing this.

Mo Shaoyuan glanced at him, his eyes heavy, but his tone shifted lightly, “You haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? Come have a meal with your grandpa.”

“Fine!”

The two of them entered the main house, heading for the dining room.

Aunt Liang had already prepared a generous breakfast for them.

After settling down, Mo Shaoyuan scooped up a spoonful of porridge and looked at Mo Shiting sitting opposite him, probing, “Where is Little Pear? Is she at home? Why didn’t you bring her along?”

Mo Shiting sipped his coffee. Mentioning Gu Li softened his face, “She has things to attend to this morning.”

The old man watched his fluttering expression, remembering the photo he had seen earlier, and he couldn’t help but smile lightly, “How far have you two progressed? You shouldn’t be thinking about a divorce after your one-month cooling-off period, right?”

Although he couldn’t disclose the oath he had taken in the ancestral hall earlier, he still couldn’t help but concern himself with the marriage between Mo Shiting and Gu Li.

After all, this not only affects the happiness of the two young people for a lifetime but also the rise and fall of the entire Mo family.

Mo Shiting’s eyes flashed, he thought for a few seconds, then replied, “I don’t plan on getting a divorce at the moment.”

Of course, he wouldn’t consider a divorce. With his personality, once he set his mind on someone or something, he would hardly change it.

Gu Li had already become the wife he acknowledge, unless she betrayed him, he would never give up easily.

Would she betray him?

Ha, how could he doubt her?

Mo Shiting suddenly found it quite amusing.

He clearly understood just how much she was fond of him. If he could not trust even her, then there would be nothing in this world that he could believe in.

Only at that moment did Mo Shiting realize, unconsciously, he had come to see Gu Li as the person he trusted most in his life.

However, there were still many barriers between them. The Gu family, especially Gu Yuan, was a significant obstacle.

Therefore, before everything was settled, he didn’t want to tell his grandpa about everything, so as not to unnecessarily worry him.

He assumed his grandpa would blow his top, right?

Mo Shiting muttered to himself.

Sure enough, the next moment, the old man was so angry that he was fuming, “You little brat, what did you say? Have the guts to say it again? Ah ha! So you ‘do not plan to get divorced at the moment¹, which means, you’re planning to divorce in the future, right?”

“Who knows what will happen in the future?”

Mo Shiting replied indifferently. His nonchalant attitude drove the old man crazy.

As a result, the old man put down the porridge spoon vehemently and took away all the dishes of bread, fried dough sticks, and other food on Mo Shiting’s side in quick succession.

Mo Shiting was taken aback, “Grandpa, what are you…”

“Hmph! My food is not for feeding such sightless, unappreciative trash like you.”

Mo Shiting: “…”

Sometimes he really wondered, was this his grandfather or Gu Li’s grandfather?

Elsewhere.

After eating breakfast at home, Gu Li and Yi Bing went to the place they had agreed to meet with Da Ha. This was a creative park surrounded by green foliage on the riverbank. Neat and elegant, with strict security, the park contained three vacant villas.

Gu Li arrived earlier than Da Ha. She and Yi Bing surveyed the park and the more they saw, the more satisfied they were.

About fifteen minutes later, Da Ha finally arrived late.

Unexpectedly, he was accompanied by Song Yunque.

These two seemed to be becoming good friends, even able to hang out together.

“Boss—”

“Sister-in-law—”

Seeing Gu Li, they greeted in unison.

“You are here.”

Gu Li replied with a smile.

They started chatting while Yi Bing retreated to a certain distance, maintaining a proper boundary.

Although she still disliked Gu Li, as a bodyguard, she would maintain appropriate manners and professional ethics toward Gu Li.

As for helping Shen Yunsi get Gu Li’s hair strand, she had no ulterior motives and even thought it would be good if she could assist Gu Li in finding her relatives.

However, getting Gu Li’s hair was not an easy task. She hoped to seize the opportunity today when they went out.

With this in mind, Yi Bing looked towards Gu Li, noticing her ponytail was tightly secured, it seemed not so easy to make a move.

Unaware that Yi Bing was contemplating hoping to get her hair from a distance, Gu Li was engrossed in a heated conversation with Song Yunque.

“You mean this creative park is yours? And you are willing to provide it to Shi Li Entertainment for free?”

Gu Li was more than happy, “That’s great.”

She had just been thinking that she needed to secure this place today to avoid encountering another Cheng Yaojin [Cheng Ying] as before.

Now, the landlord turned out to be one of them. There was no need to worry.

Seeing how pleased Gu Li was, Song Yunque slapped his chest bravely, “Don’t worry, sister-in-law. You can use it however you like. If you’re not satisfied with this place, I have other places to offer.”

On hearing this, Da Ha’s eyes lit up, “Wow, Brother Que, I didn’t expect you to have so many properties. You’re so rich.”

Song Yunque’s mouth twitched involuntarily as he protested, “How many times have I told you not to call me Brother Que? People who don’t know might think I’m missing a limb.”

Da Ha touched his golden hair looking apologetic, “I’m sorry, Brother Que. I’ll stop next time.”

“Again, Brother Que? You…”

Song Yunque had no words.

“Ha ha ha…”

Gu Li burst into laughter, “Alright, let’s find a place to sit down and talk about our upcoming plans.”
