Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

“Alright, rest assured, I will take good care of her.”

Upon Gu Yuan’s assurance, Murong Si’s mood lifted, and a smile curved his lips.

“Thank you.”

Gu Yuan looked at him deeply, feeling somewhat inexplicably heavy-hearted.

He hoped what he was doing was right.

After spending a short while in the hospital, Gu Yuan hastily left the country.

As soon as he left, Murong Si took care of Gu Li’s discharge formalities, and openly took the still unconscious Gu Li back to his own manor.

This news soon reached Gu Susu’s ears.

The Murong manor was right next to the Gu family’s estate, and Gu Susu immediately rushed over. However, to her utter disbelief, she was denied entry.

“Why won’t you let me in?”

At the mansion entrance, Gu Susu stamped her foot, looking incredulously at the bodyguard responsible for security.

The bodyguard replied with utmost respect, “Miss Susu, I apologize, but this is Count Allen’s order that no outsiders are allowed in. We must comply. Please don’t make it difficult for us.”

“I’m an outsider? I come here almost every other day. I’m more familiar with Murong Manor than my own house! How am I an outsider?”

Gu Susu retorted angrily.

The bodyguard recoiled a bit, “Perhaps, you could call Count Allen?”

“Hmph, call him I will! I can’t believe that Brother Si wouldn’t let me in.”

Gu Susu muttered, taking out her phone and dialing Murong Si’s number.

Unfortunately, the call went unanswered.

She repeatedly dialed, to no avail, and finally dialed Madam Murong, Murong Si’s mother. As it turned out though, Madam Murong’s phone was out of the service area.

“Madam Murong is on a vacation, she’s not at home.”

The bodyguard kindly reminded her.

Gu Susu, out of options, held back her frustration and returned to the Gu house.

Once at home, she felt increasingly upset and ran directly to find Bai Ruyan.

Bai Ruyan was taking an afternoon nap and her head started to throb upon seeing Gu Susu.

“What’s the matter now?”

She rubbed her temples, walked over to the sofa, and asked curtly.

Due to Gu Li’s injury these past few days, Gu Susu had been keeping herself busy and it had exhausted Bai Ruyan.

Gu Susu started complaining like a machine gun: “Mommy, what on earth is uncle thinking? Mo Shiting is such a good son-in-law, he’s also Gu Li’s beloved, how can he not approve of him? It infuriates me that he’s not only tearing them apart, but also pushing Brother Si and Gu Li together!”

“Does uncle only see Gu Li, the illegitimate child, and not me, his own blood- related niece, even though he knows I’ve liked Brother Si since I was a child?

He keeps trying to split us apart… Mommy, tell me what to do, mommy-”

Frustrated by her fuss, Bai Ruyan desperately wished she could stuff her dumb, silly daughter back into her womb, “Alright, stop going on and on in front of me, I have a headache!”

“Mommy, if you don’t help me think of a way, Gu Li will divorce Mo Shiting and end up with Brother Si.”

Gu Susu was utterly unable to keep calm.

Bai Ruyan merely cast her a glance, “So what? There are countless men in the world, why are you fixated on Murong Si? I think Mo Shiting far surpasses Murong Si. Why not consider changing your focus?”

“What?”

Gu Susu widened her eyes, in total disbelief of what she’d just heard, “You want me to actively pursue Mo Shiting? Am I insane? I don’t even like him!”

“He’s the man Gu Li loves. If you succeed in pursuing him, doesn’t that mean you’re better than Gu Li?”

Bai Ruyan was persuading patiently.

Gu Susu shook her head forcefully, “I detest homewreckers, how can I become one?”

Bai Ruyan:”…”

It seemed there was some reason in what she was saying?

However, in her view, Mo Shiting was indeed better and more reliable than Murong Si. If Gu Susu could be with him, she would feel much more relieved.

As for Gu Li-

Well, the daughter of a homewrecker, what right did she have to happiness?

Bai Ruyan sneered in her heart. She had never been able to treat Gu Li well, not abusing her already counted as kindness.

Seeing Bai Ruyan in a daze, Gu Susu simply walked behind her, wrapped her arms around her neck and started to whine, “Wuwuwu Mommy, please think of a way for me. Quickly get Gu Li out of Brother Si’s house. Otherwise, if Gu Li falls for Brother Si, it would be a disaster, wuwuwu…”

Maybe because she was too agitated, Gu Susu’s grip turned too tight, almost suffocating Bai Ruyan.

“Hey, hey, hey, loosen up, you’re going to strangle your mother.”

Bai Ruyan forcibly broke away from Gu Susu’s grasp, feeling disappointed, “How did I end up with a dim-witted child like you? You can’t even succeed in pursuing a man. You’re a disgrace to me..”
