Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Gu Li’s eyes rolled round and round as she racked her brain, genuinely confused over Mo Shiting’s actions.

Of course, she could never have guessed that someone had made a pledge out of boredom, only to bring trouble upon himself.

She woke Mo Shiting with her fidgeting.

The man slowly opened his eyes and tried to move his arm, but found she was using it as a pillow and it was immobilized.

“You’re awake?’¹

Realizing his movements, Gu Li quickly sat up, jokingly remarked, “It’s already eight in the morning, it’s rare to see you sleep in this late.”

Mo Shiting didn’t say anything. As she was unguarded, he quickly pulled her towards him.

Gu Li, taken by surprise, ended up falling on top of him.

Mo Shiting quickly hugged her tightly and rolled over to press her under him.

“Hey, get up. You’re so heavy.”

Gu Li pushed him softly.

However, Mo Shiting didn’t move. He buried his chin in her shoulder and started to tease her: “You were on top of me last night, doesn’t it make sense that I should return the favor?”

“Return the favor?”

Gu Li laughed, “Do you plan to lay in bed all day?”

“Why not?”

Mo Shiting seriously retorted.

Speechless, Gu Li simply pointed out, “Something’s off with you, Brother Ting.”

Just then, there was a knock at the door, interrupting their conversation.

Then Auntie Guan’s voice came, “Young Master, Young Madam, Old Master Mo called. He wants both of you to come over.”

“Okay, got it, thank you Auntie Guan.”

Gu Li answered with a clear voice.

When she heard Auntie Guan’s footsteps fading away, she nudged Mo Shiting again, “Get up, Grandpa wants us to go back.”

“We don’t have to deal with him.”

Mo Shiting continued to lie on top of her, his comfortable position making him unwilling to leave.

Gu Li sighed softly, “Brother Ting, if you keep acting like this, I might just stop paying attention to you.”

“Aren’t you already ignoring me?”

The man complained, his words hinting at a slight feeling of being wronged.

Gu Li blinked, still not getting it, “Where did I ignore you?”

“Think about it yourself!”

“I can’t think of it.”

“Keep thinking.”

Gu Li:”…”

So, if she still didn’t get his point, would he keep acting stubbornly like this?

Childish!

Gu Li muttered to herself and pondered it seriously.

She’s not stupid and found the answer quite quickly.

But, she wouldn’t fulfill his wishes so easily.

So, she cupped his handsome face and squeezed it, her eyes filled with mirth, “If Brother Ting doesn’t mind, then you can sleep with me in the guest room from now on.”

The guest room is not even a quarter the size of the master bedroom and the bed is nowhere near as comfortable. She doubted he would be able to get used to it.

In a few days, he’d certainly swallow his pride and beg her to move back in.

Haha, at that time, she’d pretend to take pity on him and agree out of kindness.

However, her plan backfired. Mo Shiting swiftly got up from bed.

He didn’t even glance at her and simply put on his shoes and walked away.

Gu Li:”???”

Is he angry?

Gu Li went downstairs after freshening up, only to see Mo Shiting already sitting in the dining area, elegantly having breakfast.

Auntie Guan was standing at the table, pouring milk.

Seeing Gu Li, Auntie Guan quickly greeted her, “Good morning, Young Madam.” “Good morning.”

Gu Li walked over with a sweet smile and sat down, then asked Auntie Guan, “Did Grandpa mention what he wants us to do?”

“Old Master Mo didn’t say, but he sounded quite happy, so it’s probably nothing bad.”

Auntie Guan chuckled.

Gu Li nodded, “Oh, alright then.”

As she took a bite of sandwich and was about to reach for the milk, Mo Shiting placed a glass of honey water in front of her instead, “Drink this.”

“Thank you.”

Honey water has the effect of alleviating hangovers. Even though she showed no signs of one, she still felt sweetness in her heart, especially when Auntie Guan said, “Young Madam, the young master personally made this for you.” “Really?”

Gu Li was even more surprised, and immediately smiled until her eyes crinkled, “Brother’s honey water filled with love, I must finish it all.”

Mo Shiting curled his lips imperceptibly. Clearly, he was pleased.

Auntie Guan covertly observed them and smiled knowingly.

It seemed like they had made up.

The old saying was indeed timeless: quarrels at the head of the bed, and settlement at the end of it.

Mo Family Villa.

Old Master Mo was playing a game of chess with Uncle Guan. He was about to lose, so he grumbled unhappily as he contemplated how he could wriggle out of this game. Then he heard a cheerful, sweet voice coming from outside—

“Grandpa, we’re here.”

“Oh, it’s Little Pear.”

Perfect timing!

What a coincidence!

Old Master Mo immediately broke out in a big smile, finally having an excuse to abandon the game, “Quickly, pack up the chessboard.”

“Yes, sir.”

Uncle Guan, suppressing a smile, hurriedly put away the chessboard.

Thanks to the arrival of the Young Madam, otherwise, if he had won today, the old master’s pride would have been hurt and he undoubtedly would have been upset all day.

“Grandpa…”

Gu Li, hand in hand with Mo Shiting, walked in cheerfully.

By then, Uncle Guan had already put away the chessboard and bow respectfully towards them, “Young master, Young Madam.”

“Hello, Uncle Guan!”

Gu Li politely greeted him, then let go of Mo Shiting’s hand and approached

Old Master Mo, “Grandpa, did you call Brother Ting and me over because there’s something you need?”

Old Master Mo glanced at Mo Shiting, then said, “I heard that next week is your father’s birthday?”

“Yes, it is.”

Gu Li wasn’t surprised that the old master knew about her family background.

“I have a gift I would like you to bring back and give to your father.”

Old Master Mo stated upfront.

Gu Li was slightly taken aback, and unconsciously looked towards Mo Shiting.

Mo Shiting shook his head at her, he was evidently unaware of this too.

Gu Li laughed, “Grandpa, you’re being too polite. My father is the junior, isn’t it inappropriate for him to accept your gift?”

“He’s the birthday celebrant. There’s nothing inappropriate about receiving a gift-”

Old Master Mo stated seriously.

The next second, Uncle Guan had brought over an antique wooden box.

Just by looking at the box, Gu Li could tell that it was valuable.

Just as she was about to decline, Mo Shiting had already accepted the box with both hands, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

“Brother Ting?”

Gu Li tugged at his sleeve, indicating that he shouldn’t accept it, but Mo Shiting said, “We must accept a rare gift from grandpa.”

Gu Li:”…”

Being subtly insulted for no reason, Old Master Mo couldn’t help glaring at him, “You ingrate, are you implying that I’m stingy?”

Mo Shiting pressed his lips together, “Exactly.”

“You—hmm!”

Hearing nothing good come out of this ungrateful kid’s mouth, Old Master Mo was so exasperated he didn’t want to talk to him anymore, “Don’t you have to work today? Why are you here?”

Mo Shiting replied nonchalantly, “Didn’t you summon me here?”

Old Master Mo:”…”

It did seem like he had.

He was getting old and forgetful.

In the following days, Mo Shiting continued to stay in the guest room.

Gu Li thought he wouldn’t be able to endure for long, but surprisingly, he didn’t show any signs of discomfort.

Instead, it was more miserable for her. The bed was only 1.5 meters wide, and since she was a restless sleeper, she always felt constricted..
