Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Gu Li bounced over and sat next to him.

Mo Shiting scooped a bowl of soup for her, “Start with this.”

“Thankyou, Brother Ting.”

Having said this sweetly, Gu Li picked up her spoon, scooped some soup and put it to her mouth.

Today’s dish was a savory duck soup. It was so delicious that she couldn’t help but take a few more sips before she remembered to ask Mo Shiting, “Why are you still here? Don’t you have work today?”

Mo Shiting responded in a steady tone, “There was a phone conference this morning which I could handle from home. I’ 11 take you to school this afternoon.”

“What? There’s no need, right?”

Gu Li refused.

She didn’t want him to go through so much trouble.

Mo Shiting understood her concern, but explained, “I have to travel abroad this afternoon. Since I will be going by the school on my way to the airport, I can drop you off.”

“Oh, going abroad again? Which country?”

Hearing that he was traveling abroad, Gu Li’s expression inexplicably darkened.

Even though they wouldn’t see each other for the next few days even if he stayed, the feeling was still different.

Mo Shiting promptly responded, “G country. I’ll be back Friday evening, just in time to pick you up.”

“Okay.”

Only then did a smile gradually appear on Gu Li’s face, “For a moment, I thought you’d be away for ten days or half a month.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Shiting leaned in closer, his handsome face breaking into a playful smile, “What? Do you start missing me even before I leave?”

His unexpected closeness made Gu Li’s heart skip a beat.

She quickly turned her face away, continuing to drink her soup, while denying, “No, not at all. I was just thinking about the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival this weekend. If you’re not here, should I go to the ancestral home to accompany grandpa? But since you’ll be back on Friday, it saves me the worry.” “Oh, so that’s it.”

Mo Shiting responded with an inscrutable expression.

“What else could it be? If I really miss you, I’ll definitely say it out loud.”

Gu Li remained indifferent.

Mo Shiting nodded, “Right, whatever the wife says, is always right.”

GuLi: “…”

“Oh, and I need to call my dad.”

She had almost forgotten this important task after just one night’s sleep.

Seeing that her bowl of soup had nearly finished, Mo Shiting considerately refilled it.

Gu Li picked up her phone and dialed Gu Yuan’s number.

The call connected successfully this time.

“Father.”

When faced with her father who had always been strict with her from an early age, Gu Li instinctively sat up straight, involuntarily growing tense.

Seeing her like this, Mo Shiting couldn’t help but feel a bit of heartache.

His sweet Tang Tang was naturally lively and could frolic and joke even in front of his reputable grandfather, acting like a spoiled little girl, but when in the presence of Gu Yuan, she would instinctively straighten up and maintain a serious demeanor. He wondered what kind of upbringing Gu Yuan had provided to have such a stark side effect on her?

If it were anyone else with such a beautiful and adorable daughter, wouldn’t they pamper her and treasure her? Nurture her with delicacy, as if she were a fragile jewel?

Mo Shiting silently pledged to spoil her double in the future, to treat her as his beloved daughter.

But Gu Li, who was busy talking to Gu Yuan, had no idea that her husband had swiftly decided to play a fatherly role in just a few seconds.

“What do you need?”

Perhaps because he was still angry with her, the temperature inGu Yuan’s voice was rather low.

Gu Li bit her lip gently, saying sincerely, “Thank you for helping me out last night.”

The indifference on Gu Yuan’s handsome face eased slightly. Unfortunately, his voice over the phone still lacked warmth, “Don’t misuse the internet in the future, it damages the reputation of the Gu family.”

Gu Li was somewhat angry at his remark, retorting, “Father, when did I ever ruin the Gu family’s reputation? Did I commit murder, or arson? All I did was accidentally marry the man who all women in Hua Country want to marry.” “Marry?”

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, “Are you even husband and wife now?”

“We will be eventually.”

Gu Li defiantly responded.

Although she usually concedes in front of her father, she still insisted on principle.

It seemed her answer was within Gu Yuan’s expectation. He shook his head in frustration, “As a girl, all you do is chase after a man. Aren’t you ashamed?”

Gu Li: “When have I ever chased after him? Now he is the one who – ”

“Anyway, now that your identity is public, you must consider the consequences in all matters. If you dare to do anything that damages the Gu family’s reputation, I will disown you!”

GuLi: “…”

After a brief silence, she boldly retorted, “If you disown me, where will you find such a lovely and sweet daughter like me?”
