Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Gu Li had just walked in to hear Mo Shiting refusing to help someone, and she couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Mo Shiting lifted his gaze from his phone screen, “Tang Yue. He’s taken a fancy to a woman and wants me to check out her background.”

If a man goes to all the trouble to investigate a woman he barely knows, it’s either he’s interested in her, or what?

Surprise flashed in Gu Li’s eyes, “Tang Yue has someone he likes? He’s only recently moved to Hua Country, and he’s already in the hospital, but he already has someone he likes? Is she a doctor or nurse?”

Facing Gu Li’s barrage of questions, Mo Shiting really didn’t want to tell her that the woman Tang Yue had eyes for was none other than her good friend Ye Yining.

After all, if this little girl were to find out, she would probably want to play matchmaker.

“Who knows what he’s thinking.”

Mo Shiting replied casually, quickly changing the subject, “October 28 is a good day, why don’t we register on that day?”

For him, nothing is more important than his own marriage.

His biggest wish now is to make Gu Li his legitimate wife.

But the lousy old calendar was against him, there were only three suitable days for marriage in a month, and two of them fell on weekends.

He didn’t really care about auspicious days, but Gu Li did.

“Sure, no problem.”

Gu Li consented with a smile.

But not even a second later, she suddenly remembered something, her head hanging low as she said to Mo Shiting in a weak voice: “Er, on the 28th, I think I am supposed to be attending a Brainiac contest in M Country.”

Mo Shiting: “…”

“When are you leaving?”

It took a lot of self-control for him to contain his restless heart and ask her in a deep voice.

Gu Li took out her phone and read the message the school administration had sent her: “The annual World Universi Students Brainiac Competition will be held in M Country from October 27 to 29 this year.”

Mo Shiting sneered, “This damn competition really knows how to pick dates.”

Knowing that he was upset, Gu Li could only offer an apologetic smile, “This just proves that those are indeed good days, hehe.”

Looking at her forced smile, Mo Shiting couldn’t help reaching out to pinch her face, his lips curling up in wicked delight, “You were already ugly, and this smile just makes you even more ugly.”

Even though she knew he was teasing her, Gu Li puffed up her cheeks in protest, saying, “What sort of eyesight do you have, calling me ugly? Let me tell you, if I wanted to, the title of Imperial City University’s beauty queen would be mine!”

When the girl gets angry, she looks like a puffed up blowfish, so adorable. Mo Shiting couldn’t help pinching her again, the smile still dancing in his eyes, “Mmm, if you were willing, even the title of Miss World could be yours.”

Picking up on his teasing, Gu Li gave him a glare, “All you know is how to make fun of me. I have to think seriously about whether I want to marry you or not.”

“Really?”

Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow, subtly pulling her into his arms, his hands crossed over her chest, his magnetic voice carrying a trace of danger, “If you’re not marrying me, who will you marry? Huh?”

“I’ll marry… Ting Shi Mo.”

Gu Li playfully reversed his name.

Mo Shiting paused for a moment, and then said with a straight face, “Coincidentally, my name is Ting Shi Mo.”

Gu Li: “…”

———

For Gu Li’s sake, Old Master Mo decided to send her back to Imperial City University that afternoon.

“Grandpa, are you sure you don’t need me to stay?”

Gu Li truly regarded Old Master Mo as her own grandfather.

When he took a tumble down the stairs, it genuinely scared her.

She was still shaken when she remembered the moment she found out that he was unconscious.

Old Master Mo waved his hand, “No need, no need. Besides, I’ll be out of the hospital in a couple of days, so it’s really not a big deal.”

“But…”

“Pear, I know you’re filial, but as a student, you should always put your studies first, understand?”

Old Master Mo was unusually serious.

Gu Li could only nod, “I understand. Grandpa, please take care.”

“Yes, yes, with Mo Shiting here, you don’t need to worry about me.”

“Hmm, alright.”

After bidding farewell to Old Master Mo, Gu Li packed up her things and got into Mo Shiting’s car.

Today, Mo Shiting insisted on driving her back to school.

Wanting to spend more time with him, Gu Li didn’t refuse.

By the time they reached Imperial City University, it was already dark.

They had dinner outside and then hand in hand, entered campus.
