Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Gu Yuan: “???”

It was the first time that Gu Li boasted in front of Gu Yuan. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she hurriedly ended their call before he could speak. “Okay, I’ve said everything I need to say. Father, take care. Bye.”

After speaking, she quickly hung up the phone.

Phew!

Well done, Gu Li!

She patted her chest and took a deep breath.

She didn’t dare to imagine the look on her father’s face at this time.

Sigh.

She also wanted to be like other young girls, acting spoiled in front of their fathers without any inhibitions. Sadly, she did not have such a luxury.

“What are you thinking about?”

Mo Shiting’s deep voice broke Gu Li’s train of thought.

Gu Li looked up, meeting his concerned gaze, and after a moment’s hesitation, she replied, “I was thinking about how to win over my dad.”

“Have you figured it out yet?”

“No. He’s harder to woo than you.”

Gu Li complained.

“Heh.”

Mo Shiting chuckled, “Am I that hard to conquer?”

“Tch!”

Gu Li glared at him. Recalling the things he had done to her before, she grimaced with frustration, “I didn’t forget that certain someone made me kneel all night in the ancestral hall, drew a turtle on my face the next morning, locked me in a room without food. And when I choked on a fishbone and was sent to the hospital, I was inexplicably kissed. And if that wasn’t enough, you heartlessly abandoned me… Umm…”

Faced with her pointed accusations, Mo Shiting had nothing to say in his defense. So instead, he lowered his head, lifted her chin, and silenced her with a kiss.

“Um…”

Gu Li tried to push him away, but to no avail. Annoyed, she bit his tongue hard, causing him to wince with pain.

Finally, he let her go, “Aside from kissing you, I couldn’t find a second way to express my apology.”

Gu Li smirked, “Shameless! You are clearly using this as an excuse to take advantage of me, you rogue!”

After her words, she raised her hand and slapped it on his shoulder.

Mo Shiting didn’t dodge and said with sincere tone, “Okay, if you want my life, you can take it anytime.”

Gu Li poked him and said with confidence, “Put it in writing.”

“Okay.”

He nodded indulgently, got up without bothering to eat, walked to the side cabinet, and took out a set of paper and pen.

He spread out an A4. size paper, picked up the pen, and wrote, “I, Mo Shiting, hereby inscribe this document, stating that all usage rights and ownership rights over me belong to Gu Li, for a lifetime.”

When he was done writing, he asked, “Is that alright?”

Gu Li smiled satisfactorily, “Okay, sign it.”

“Okay.”

He readily signed his name, rolled up the paper, and handed it to her, “Indenture.”

“Pfft.”

Gu Li laughed and quickly kissed him on the cheek, “Seal.”

An unexpected blessing fell upon Mo Shiting: “…”

Alright, let’s hurry up and eat. I need to go back to school later.”

As Gu Li carefully stored his “indenture”, she urged him to continue eating.

Little did she know, he responded, “My tongue hurts. I can’t eat.”

Gu Li exclaimed, “Is it that painful?”

“What do you think?”

When this little girl really put force into things, she didn’t hold back. Too fierce.

“Can I have a look?”

Feeling somewhat guilty, Gu Li moved closer to him without noticing the mischievous gleam in his eyes.

When she voluntarily fell into his arms, Mo Shiting swiftly scooped her onto his lap.

“Hey, you’re tricking me!”

Realizing that she’d been tricked, Gu Li pinched his arm unhappily.

“Heh.”

Mo Shiting smirked, his left arm wrapped around her waist, while his right hand picked up a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks and held it to her mouth.

Without any hesitation, Gu Li opened her mouth and ate it.

“I also want chicken breast.”

After finishing her meal, she commanded him without any hesitation.

Mo Shiting complied with a smile, “Okay. What else would you like to eat?”

“Fish.”

“Vegetables.”

“Tofu.”

Meanwhile, in A Nation.

Just after finishing his call with Gu Li, Gu Yuan’s office door was knocked. Gu

Zuo came in to report with respect.

“Sir, Count Allen is here.”

Upon hearing that Murong Si was visiting, Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Let him in.”

“Yes, sir.”

After bowing, Gu Zuo quickly retreated.

Gu Yuan stood up from his office chair and moved to the sofa area.

Just as he sat down, he saw the tall figure of Murong Si walking in.

“Uncle.”

Murong Si greeted him politely.

Gu Yuan: “Sit.”

“Yes.”

He walked over and sat opposite Gu Yuan.

“Uncle, I saw yesterday’s news.”

Murong Si got straight to the point, “Little Pear has suffered a lot in Hua Country. Aren’t you worried about letting her stay there? Mo Shiting is clearly not a good match for her. He will only expose her to difficulties and controversies. He does not deserve Little Pear.”

“So?”

Gu Yuan responded indifferently, lighting a cigar and taking a puff. The smoke filled the air, making his deep and complex expression hard to discern.
