Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Gu Li listened with deep emotions. After returning to the Other Garden, where she lived with Mo Shiting, she was still immersed in that intricate tale of love and hatred. It took her a while to regroup.

The story was melodramatic. The scion of a wealthy family and a rising star in the business world, the genius architect Mo Xinghe, fell in love with a female celebrity named Little Flower. However, because their social classes weren’t adequate, and Mo Xinghe was betrothed to the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Ruotong, his relationship with Little Flower was strongly opposed by the Mo family.

Mrs. Song even used coercive tactics, threatening Little Flower’s life to pressure Mo Xinghe into marrying Lin Ruotong.

Mo Xinghe, for the sake of the woman he loved, reluctantly agreed.

On their wedding night, he was tricked by Mrs. Song and the Lin family into consummating his marriage with Lin Ruotong.

Ten months later, Lin Ruotong gave birth to Mo Shiting.

Even though Mo Xinghe did not love Lin Ruotong, he still adored his son.

Meanwhile, Little Flower went missing, and Mo Xinghe spent years looking for her before finally having some clues.

As soon as he learned that Little Flower was abroad, Mo Xinghe defied his family’s opposition and rushed aboard his private jet to look for her.

Then the tragedy happened – his plane crashed, and he was never heard from again…

Later, unable to cope with this heartbreaking news, Lin Ruotong ran away from the Mo family, leaving behind Mo Shiting, who was only five years old at the time…

“Why are you crying, huh?”

A gentle male voice interrupted Gu Li’s thoughts.

Gu Li regained her composure, she only then realized that she had been crying and that Mo Shiting was standing in front of her.

“No, it’s nothing.”

Gu Li quickly wiped away her tears and forced a smile, “I was just reading a novel and got moved, so I cried.”

She couldn’t possibly tell him that she cried out of pity for him.

Mo Shiting stared at her, “Novels are just make-believe. Don’t waste your precious tears on them, okay?”

Gu Li muttered, “So you’re going to interfere with that too? I cried because the author wrote well. How did you finish your meeting so quickly?”

“Well, things went smoothly.”

Mo Shiting elegantly adjusted his sitting posture and took a seat next to her.

Gu Li instinctively snuggled up to him. After thinking for a few seconds, she cautiously asked, “Brother Ting, can I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“It’s about your mother. Have you ever thought about finding her after all these years?”

“No!”

Mo Shiting responded resolutely.

He didn’t miss those who had willingly abandoned him.

“Then…”

Just when Gu Li was about to ask something, he spoke, “A few years ago, she sent people to connect with me, wanted to meet me. But I refused.”

“What happened after that?”

“She stopped contacting. She has a new family now.”

“Oh.”

For a moment, Gu Li didn’t know how to comfort him. She could only hold him tightly and whisper in a reassuring tone, “It’s okay, Brother Ting. You also have a new family. I am your family. I will never leave you.”

Hearing the girl’s sweet and sure tone, Mo Shiting was touched. He could not help but kiss her face, saying in a low voice, “Thank you, Tang Tang.”

Thank you for giving me a home!

Thank you for always being with me…

On the last day of the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Gu Li invited Da Ha and Ye Yining to eat at Blue Sky and Blue Sea.

She initially also invited Song Yunque and Lin Ranzhu, but they both had other plans and couldn’t make it.

“Boss, where’s my brother-in-law? Why isn’t he home?”

Da Ha arrived before Ye Yining and started looking for Mo Shiting as soon as he stepped into the house.

Gu Li shrugged, “He’s back to work at the office.”

As she spoke, her eyes roved about Da Ha.

Da Ha felt uneasy under her penetrating gaze, “Hey, what’s it with that look? It’s kind of scary.”

“Hmph!”

Gu Li glared at him, “I’m not going to eat you.”

“That remains to be seen.”

Da Ha said as he defensively crossed his hands over his chest.

Gu Li made a disgusted face, “I think you’re more suited to be called Da Ha than Song Yunque. You two should switch names.”

Da Ha hastily refused, “No, boss. Although I’m younger than Brother Que, he’s way more silly than me, so let’s just leave the name Da Ha to him, ha ha!”

After their bantering, Gu Li got straight to the point, and targeted him, “I was thinking, why don’t you just work at Xinghe Group? You can be your brother- in-law’s assistant and help him share his workload.”
