Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

“Um, okay.”

Lu Cong quickly got busy in the kitchen.

Murong Yun sat on the sofa watching TV, occasionally glancing at Lu Cong who was continuously busy.

His father is way more handsome in person than in photos, but he’s blind and shameless for abandoning mother and me. Hmph.

Half an hour later.

“Xunxun, the food is ready. Wash your hands and let’s eat.”

Lu Cong took off his apron and called to Murong Yun.

He thought the boy would clap in excitement, but instead he said, “I’m sorry uncle, I suddenly want to eat fried rice, not pasta.”

The smile on Lu Cong’s face froze:”…”

Of all things, just had to choose what he can’t do…

“Uncle, can’t you make fried rice?”

Lu Cong: “I can! Uncle will make it for you.”

With that, he turned around and went back to the kitchen.

The boy chuckled triumphantly to himself.

Hmph, you promised Uncle Lu Yang to take care of me. If you don’t take good care of me, I’ll go complain to Uncle Mo.

Fried rice is comparably easy to cook, but for Lu Cong, it’s a challenge, the only dish he has a hard time making.

After struggling with the fried rice for a good 20 minutes, he finally ended up with a plate of dark, unappetizing looking thing.

Murong Yun looked at it and started to cry:” Uncle, don’t you like me?”

Lu Cong was puzzled:”??? When did uncle ever say he doesn’t like you?”

“Then why did you make such horrible fried sticky rice for me?”

Lu Cong:”…”

Imperial City Hospital.

After the blood test was complete, Gu Li sat on a bench in the corridor, anxiously waiting for the results.

Mo Shiting, sitting beside her, spotted her looking down and deep in thought.

He said: “Don’t worry, I’m here.”

” I’m not worried.”

Gu Li held onto her hands, pretending to be calm and said, “After all, there’s no way I could be pregnant.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Shiting simply decided to keep quiet.

Right now, all the speculation didn’t matter; they better just wait patiently for the result.

Can they truly keep calm, though?

The thin layer of sweat on his palms revealed his nervousness.

“Gu Li    ”

After what felt like eternity, someone finally called out Gu Li’s name.

She immediately stood up: “Here!”

“Come here and get the result.”

“Alright.”

Gu Li went over as she spoke.

Mo Shiting quickly followed.

The test result was negative; Gu Li was not pregnant.

Mo Shiting’s hopeful anticipation instantly vanished.

On the other hand, Gu Li felt a mix of relief and disappointment.

Maybe they were never meant to be together.

Anyway, a child should be a product of love between two people, not a bond to tie them together.

Such an outcome was perfectly fine.

Yet, why did her heart ache so much?

Both of them lost in their thoughts, exited the building one after the other.

The sunset was near, the evening glow was beautiful.

Gu Li slowly walked towards the exit.

Mo Shiting didn’t say a word, just quietly following her.

“Where’s Lu Yang? Why don’t I see him?”

As they reached the gate, Gu Li expected to see Lu Yang waiting for her there. She instinctively looked around for him, but there was no sign of his car or him.

“Oh yeah, and Xunxun…”

Remembering Murong Yun, Gu Li’s eyes widened in shock, “Where did you have Lu Yang take Xunxun?”

“Lu Yang took him out for fun. Don’t worry, Xunxun is safe.”

Mo Shiting spoke the truth.

In order to have some alone time with her, and to have a better bargaining chip so she won’t reject him, he had no choice but to exploit Murong Yun.

How could Gu Li not see through Mo Shiting’s intentions?

Just one look and she saw through his scheme, she was so angry that she threw her bag at him, “How can you be so despicable?”

Mo Shiting caught her bag, his voice suddenly turned serious: “Can’t you feel my sincerity despite all I’ve done? What do you want from me so you can accept me?”

Gu Li was shocked, “Your sincerity? You mean you want to take responsibility for me? I’ve already told you many times, I don’t need it! Mo Shiting, what I want is a genuine, mutually loving relationship, which you can never offer me.”

From the start to the end, all he had for her was guilt, apology, and a sense of responsibility. Where was there even a hint of appreciation?

Call her melodramatic, or say she’s lost her mind, she didn’t want to go back.

Love is something you come across, not something you insist upon. Since he doesn’t love her, forcing a relationship would be pointless.

Thinking of this, Gu Li took a deep breath, “Where’s Xunxun? Bring him back.”

“I won’t let you see him until you agree to be with me!”

Mo Shiting said, his face serious.

“What?”

Gu Li couldn’t believe what she heard, “What did you say? Say it again?”
