Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

The woman’s voice on the other end of the phone sounded anxious, but was also full of tenderness and affection.

Tang Yue curled his lips, not buying her sugar-coated words. He said solemnly, “I’m not on vacation. I’m working on an important project.”

“What project? As the chairman, why don’t I know about a project that requires the president of our group to leave all his teams and go out alone?”

“A project in collaboration with the Mo family, I need to talk to Mo Shiting in person,” he replied patiently. From his demeanor, it was clear he held great respect for his sister.

“Alright then. Take good care of yourself while you’re out.”

“Uh-huh.”

“And if you meet a girl you like, you should ”

“Sis, the signal’s bad here, I’ve got to go.”

Unwilling to be urged to get married, Tang Yue used it as an excuse to end the call.

Detecting a gaze on him, Tang Yue turned his head, catching Gu Li who hadn’t had time to look away.

Gu Li:”…”

So embarrassing.

Being caught red-handed spying on someone’s phone call, could there be anything more mortifying?

“Sorry about that, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. I just… uh, your phone was a bit loud…” Gu Li explained awkwardly.

Tang Yue put his phone away and lightly responded, “It’s okay, I didn’t say anything secret. Are you from Hua country or A Nation?”

He couldn’t help but seize the opportunity to talk to her.

Gu Li couldn’t ignore him now, and answered truthfully: “A Nation. What about you?”

“I’m from M Country. My name is Tang Yue.”

Tang Yue introduced himself.

Gu Li gave a small smile, “Mr. Tang, nice to meet you. My name is Gu Li.”

From his phone call, she had guessed that the man was quite important. It turned out, he was actually Tang Yue, the president of the Tang Group.

The person who had called him just now must be Tang Wan, Tang Yue’s only sister, and the chairman of the Tang Group.

Though Tang Wan had made it to many international lists of famous people, she herself was very low-key and rarely appeared in public. Gu Li had no idea what she looked like.

Looking at the handsome Tang Yue, Gu Li guessed his sister Mang Wan couldn’t be too far off in terms of attractiveness.

“Ms. Gu, you look quite young. Are you still in university?” Tang Yue asked with a smile.

Perhaps it was because her face resembled his sister’s so much that he held a higher affinity for the girl before him and couldn’t help but want to find out more about her.

Gu Li nodded: “Yes.”

Soon, she would officially be a student at Imperial City University. It wouldn’t be considered a lie.

“What’s your major?”

“Architecture.”

“Isn’t it hard for a girl to study architecture?”

“If you love it, you don’t feel it’s hard.”

“Haha, that’s true.”

Tang Yue let out a laugh, “I hope you can become a master architect.”

“Thankyou for your encouragement, Mr. Tang.”

The two chatted casually for a bit more before deciding not to converse any longer for fear of disturbing others late at night.

Leaning against the seat, Gu Li couldn’t resist the temptation of sleep and gradually closed her eyes.

Tang Yue, on the other hand, opened his laptop and continued to work.

Time slipped away second by second as the night quietly drew to a close, and the first light of dawn appeared.

The morning sun shone through the cabin curtains, waking up a deep-asleep Gu Li.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and quickly took out her phone to check the time.

Eight in the morning.

“We’ll dock in an hour,” Tang Yue suddenly said.

In the broad daylight, the light was plentiful. Looking at Gu Li’s face, he felt an increased sense of familiarity and affection.

Is it really possible for two people to look so similar without any blood relation?

And she’s about the same age as Tang Tang…

With this thought, Tang Yue’s gaze towards Gu Li contained a hint of inquiry.

He subtly took note of Gu Li’s name, preparing to look into her background when he had the time.

“Mr. Tang, are you going to Capital City?” Gu Li asked.

She didn’t know why, but her impression of Tang Yue was becoming more and more favourable. She seemed to have developed an inexplicable trust in him.

Could it be that she’s rebounding from Brother Ting so soon?

Of course, she was just joking with herself. After all, her unshakable commitment to Brother Ting was well-known to all.

Her friends and family would sooner believe that the sun rose from the west before believing that she’d lose interest in Mo Shiting…

“Yes, are you heading to Capital City too? If you are, we could travel together,” Tang Yue suggested kindly.

A beautiful young girl travelling alone was still worrying after all.

He expected Gu Li to refuse, but surprisingly, she agreed, “Sure.”
