Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Before Mo Shiting could respond, she added, “But then again, you’re so rich, it’s quite normal for you to have a house near Imperial City University.”

Mo Shiting said, “You’re mistaken, this house isn’t mine.”

“What?”

Gu Li was even more astonished, “Why is Auntie Guan here, then?”

As Mo Shiting was about to reply, Auntie Guan ran over and beat him to it, “Young Madam! It’s been a long time since I saw you last. I really missed you.” “Auntie Guan, I missed you a lot too.”

Gu Li rushed forward to embrace her, delighted.

“Young Madam, let Auntie Guan see, have you lost weight?”

Auntie Guan looked her over, noticing that her chin had become pointed from thinness. She couldn’t help but express concern, urging her to eat more.

Gu Li, full of mirth, responded: “Being thin is prettier. If I gain any more weight, I won’t fit into my clothes.”

“That’s no problem, after all, the young master is rich, you can buy clothes anytime. Right, young master?”

Auntie Guan, as ever the most powerful supporter, couldn’t resist cueing Mo Shiting in even under these circumstances.

Mo Shiting nodded slightly, “Yes.”

Gu Li felt somewhat uncomfortable being teased like this. “I don’t want to spend his money.”

Why should she spend his money when things were unclear between them?

Moreover, she was not poor herself.

Seeing Gu Li’s shyness, Auntie Guan smiled accommodatingly, “Young madam, let’s go inside. I made your favorite food, make sure to eat plenty at lunch.”

“Okay, thank you Auntie Guan. I’m starving. Let’s go in.”

Gu Li affectionately held onto Auntie Guan’s arm and walked into the house, completely ignoring Mo Shiting.

Mo Shiting followed behind them, watching the sentimental scene in front of him, a hint of tears welled up in his eyes.

Luckily he had realized his mistakes in time, otherwise, she would no longer be his.

Once inside, Gu Li found that the interior design was entirely to her liking.

Enjoying her surroundings, she heard Auntie Guan ask, “Young Madam, do you like this house?”

“It’s not bad.”

Gu Li spoke sincerely, then asked, “By the way, Auntie Guan, how did you end up here?”

Auntie Guan laughed, “Of course, it was the young master who asked me.”

Gu Li:

She realized her question must have sounded silly.

However, what she wanted to know was why Auntie Guan was here if this wasn’t Mo Shiting’s property.

Had she really come all the way here just to cook them a meal?

Seeing Gu Li’s confused expression, Auntie Guan laughed and said, “Young Madam, this house was specifically bought by the young master for you.”

“He bought it? But he said this was not his house. He lied to me again.”

Having said that, Gu Li instinctively looked around for Mo Shiting, only to find that he was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing her misunderstanding, Auntie Guan quickly explained, “The young master did not lie. The house was registered in your name, so of course, it’s not his.”

Hearing that he had bought a house for her quietly, Gu Li swallowed, her heart filled with unspeakable emotions.

“He…”

“Young Madam, the young master’s goodness towards you is really unquestionable.”

“After learning that you wanted to apply for Imperial City University, the young master bought this house nearby to facilitate taking care of you. He decorated it in your favorite style. Young Madam, the young master is a person who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside and is not good at expressing himself. If there were any shortcomings in the past that made you feel aggrieved, please don’t be angry with him. Talk to him and give him a chance to correct his mistakes. I believe that he will do better and better.”

Auntie Guan had raised Mo Shiting from his childhood, she knew him better than many. Her words to Gu Li were genuinely heartfelt.

Gu Li was deeply moved, and nodded seriously, “I will, thank you.”

“Didn’t you say you were hungry? Why aren’t you eating yet?”

Mo Shiting turned up just in time to interrupt their conversation.

Auntie Guan, having fulfilled her role as facilitator, hurriedly excused herself, “I’ll go and bring out the food.”

As she finished speaking, she left them their space, smiling as she left.

Gu Li’s mind echoed with the heartfelt words Auntie Guan had just spoken, and upon seeing Mo Shiting, her eyes unexpectedly started to well up.

Fearing that he would notice, she immediately turned and fled, “I’m going to help Auntie Guan.”

Mo Shiting:”?? ”

What on earth just happened?

By the time Gu Li entered the dining room, Auntie Guan had already set out a feast; there was nothing she could help with.

At Auntie Guan’s urging, she took a seat. As soon as she was seated, Mo Shiting entered and sat down opposite her.

After a brief period of mental readjustment, Gu Li was now able to face Mo Shiting calmly, and so she laughingly said, “Brother Ting, after dinner, you don’t need to take me back to school. I can go by myself..”
