《Mr. Mo, Be Good And Marry Me》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Boss, run! Mo Shiting already knows that you found someone to pretend to be him to register your marriage and he¡¯s on his way to catch you personally.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Gu Li was woken up by a call from her good friend Da Ha and she immediately jumped out of bed. In all honesty, I didn¡¯t mean to offend Mo Shiting, but I really had no choice but to steal his documents and get someone to pretend to be him and get married. She originally thought that she could keep it unknown and then quietly get divorced after some time. But she didn¡¯t expect that in less than a day, the truth would be exposed, and that man would actually be coming straight for her. Danger! Gu Li couldn¡¯t even bother to pack her luggage. She randomly put the marriage certificate into her small bag and abandoned the house to escape overnight. As soon as she stepped out of the residential community, she saw that the road in front of her was blocked. The bright car lights shone over, which hurt her eyes, thus she subconsciously reached out her hand to cover them. Right at this moment, a group of tall and burly bodyguards quickly surrounded her. Sigh, looks like I can¡¯t escape. Gu Li stood rooted to the ground and couldn¡¯t help looking at the man who was getting out of the Rolls-Royce not far away. He was very tall, and he had broad shoulders and long legs. He was dressed in a cool black outfit, and when the car lights shone on him, the lights complemented his skin tone to look as bright as jade stones. It had to be said that this man was extremely handsome. However, when Gu Li met his cold eyes, she instantly gave up on the thought of admiring his looks. ¡°Good evening, Young Master Mo. I didn¡¯t expect the two of us to meet again so soon. Is this the legendary ¡®fate¡¯? Hehehe.¡± As the saying goes, ¡°you don¡¯t fight the person smiling at you¡±. The young girl squeezed out a sweet smile, revealing her signature eight teeth. She looked very cute and soft, like a cute pet cat. But cats weren¡¯t as bold as her to actually scheme against him. She has a death wish! The man¡¯s gloomy gaze moved away from her beautiful face, and he then said without any emotion, ¡°Throw her into the sea to feed the fish.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The bodyguards responded in unison and quickly grabbed Gu Li as they started to put her into a gunny sack. Thinking that she was about to die, Gu Li struggled and shouted, ¡°Young Master Mo, I was wrong. If you want a divorce, we can go get it done tomorrow! ¡°Young Master Mo, having a divorce is better than being a widow¡ª ¡°Mo Shiting, you unfilial descendant! Grandpa Mo likes me so much. If you kill me, aren¡¯t you afraid of upsetting him? ¡°Mo Shiting, I¡¯m your grandfather¡¯s savior. How can you repay kindness with enmity¡ª¡± Upon hearing her words, the bodyguards paused slightly. Gu Li took the opportunity to poke her head out of the gunny sack and smiled sweetly at him. ¡°Young Master Mo, you¡¯re a magnanimous person. Forgive me just this one time.¡± The girl¡¯s dazzling smile made Mo Shiting be in a daze for a split second. Realizing that he had been disrupted, the man¡¯s exquisite and handsome face darkened instantly, and he just turned around to leave. The bodyguards didn¡¯t dare to delay and continued to seal up the gunny sack. Gu Li panicked and shouted at the top of her lungs, ¡°Mo Shiting, you have to have me in your life! Without me, you¡¯ll die alone¡ª¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± His temples throbbed, and he finally stopped in his tracks. He turned around and narrowed his eyes at her. Gu Li felt her scalp tingle from his stare. She just wished she could hide back into the gunny sack immediately, but her strong desire to live still made her squeeze out a smile that was even uglier than if she was crying. Mo Shiting¡¯s expression stayed the same, and his thin lips moved as he was about to say something. At this moment, his executive assistant, Lu Yang, hurriedly reported to him, ¡°Young Master, something bad has happened. Old Master had a stroke and now he¡¯s in the hospital.¡± What?! ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª At the Mo Hospital¡­ As Old Master Mo was hospitalized, the entire VIP floor was booked. In a certain room far away from the ward, the Mo family members, who all had their own hidden thoughts, were all gathered in there and it was currently very noisy. The Mo family had a deep foundation. After generations of accumulation, they were now the top of the four big families of China. Old Master Mo, who is also Mo Shiting¡¯s grandfather, was even more of a pivotal figure. Old Master Mo was already long out of danger before Mo Shiting arrived at the hospital. However, although he had been resuscitated, the doctor said that he would have to recuperate for at least a few years if he wanted to fully recover. Thus some people, who had wild and wicked ambitions, started getting restless again and they wanted to take the opportunity to strip Mo Shiting of his position as the president of the company. Therefore, someone immediately launched an attack on him. ¡°Everyone, the first rule of the Mo family rules states that if the heir becomes in charge of the family corporation before the age of thirty, they have to start a family first. Although Shiting held the title of the president previously, Uncle was still the actual one who was in charge, so we couldn¡¯t say much either. Now that Uncle has had a stroke, he won¡¯t be able to handle the company¡¯s affairs for the time being. If Shiting continues to be the president, it will be a violation of the family rules. I propose to hold a board meeting and vote for a suitable candidate again.¡± The person speaking was Mo Shiting¡¯s uncle, Mo Jianming. All these years, they had always been suppressed by Mo Shiting. Now that this day had finally arrived, how could he possibly give up the opportunity to take down Mo Shiting? As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Shiting¡¯s other uncle, Mo Jianyu, immediately chimed in, ¡°Shiting is capable, but he¡¯s only 26 years old. As long as he hasn¡¯t formed a family before he turns 30, he cannot take on this big responsibility. The Mo Corporation can¡¯t be without a leader for even a day. The voting shouldn¡¯t be delayed.¡± Mo Shiting had been greatly affected by his parents¡¯ unfortunate marriage, so it was very likely that he would never get married in this lifetime. As long as they were given the opportunity to take control of the Mo Corporation, they wouldn¡¯t be afraid of him even when he turns 30 years old and is qualified to wield power over the entire corporation. Under the instigation of the Mo brothers, the other Mo family members also started targeting Mo Shiting. ¡°Yeah, we can¡¯t go against our family rules. No matter how capable Shiting is, we can only let him step down temporarily.¡± ¡°Shiting, don¡¯t blame us for not supporting you. We¡¯re all members of the Mo family, so we should follow our ancestor¡¯s teachings.¡± ¡°If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself. Why didn¡¯t you find a girlfriend earlier? It¡¯s not like you didn¡¯t know that our family has such ancestral teachings.¡± ¡°But life is unpredictable. Who would have thought that the usually healthy old master would suddenly have a stroke¡­¡± ¡­ Mo Shiting sat on the sofa and watched the sly old foxes make their hypocritical comments. He gently knocked on the armrest of the sofa and looked up casually. ¡°Are you done talking?¡± Most of the people present were still a little afraid of him. Seeing that he had opened his mouth, they all unanimously chose to shut up. Mo Shiting¡¯s deep eyes darkened slightly as he directly stood up. In the large space, the man¡¯s natural aura of an emperor completely scattered across the entire room. The immense pressure made people subconsciously feel suffocated. They subconsciously looked at him and saw him with one hand in his pocket, and the coldness in his eyes was enough to freeze a group of people to death. ¡°Luyang!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Lu Yang immediately responded. ¡°Bring her here.¡± ¡°¡­Yes.¡± Lu Yang bowed and retreated. A few minutes later, the door was pushed open and a young girl walked in leisurely. Her skin was fair, and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she exuded a dazzling youthful aura. Who is this girl? Everyone sized her up with uncharitable gazes and were all guessing her identity. Gu Li didn¡¯t expect there to be so many people in the room and was a little dumbfounded for a moment. She had been locked in the car by Mo Shiting and had wanted to find an opportunity to escape. She didn¡¯t expect that Luyang would suddenly appear and bring her here.. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios These people are at least in their forties or fifties, so they should be Mo Shiting¡¯s elders, right? But all of them have fierce expressions on their faces. This doesn¡¯t look too good. Gu Li¡¯s eyes flickered as she heard Mo Shiting say coldly, ¡°Let me introduce you to my wife, Gu Li.¡± Boom! Everyone was shocked. Everyone looked at each other. They had never expected Mo Shiting to make such a big move at such a critical moment. He¡¯s married?! How is that possible?!?! Not only were the Mo family members dumbfounded, but even Gu Li was also dumbfounded. However, even if she had questions for him right now, she didn¡¯t dare to offend Mo Shiting, and thus she cooperated with him obediently. ¡°Hello, everyone. It is my first time meeting all of you, and it is a pleasure to meet you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Everyone ignored her as they looked at Mo Shiting doubtfully. ¡°Shiting, this is boring. Everyone knows that you¡¯re still single, so why did you bother to find an actress to put on a show with you? Besides, even if you¡¯re putting on a show, you should have found a more reliable partner. This girl isn¡¯t even an adult yet, right?¡± ¡°Exactly. Don¡¯t treat us like fools.¡± ¡°How can such a big thing like marriage be as reckless as a child¡¯s play? Don¡¯t fool around!¡± ¡­ Hearing them criticize Mo Shiting mercilessly, Gu Li finally understood that she had actually helped Mo Shiting by coincidence. From the looks of it, my life is still safe for the time being. She walked over to Mo Shiting¡¯s side in small steps. The girl blinked and pretended to be confused as she asked, ¡°Hubby, what are they talking about? Are the red booklets that we got from the Civil Affairs Bureau just performance props?¡± As she spoke, she opened her small bag and took out the red booklets. A Mo family member who was beside her immediately snatched the booklet over. When they saw the embossed stamp on the booklet, along with the photo and their names, there was a brief silence in the air. ¡°What exactly is happening?¡± Mo Jianming asked with a dark expression. After all the calculations he had made, he thought he would be able to take down Mo Shiting tonight. However, he didn¡¯t expect that Mo Shiting would find someone to fake a marriage. It¡¯s definitely fake. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? ¡°Shiting, when did you get to know Miss Gu? Why are you suddenly married?¡± ¡°Exactly, this is way too sudden.¡± Everyone was full of doubts. ¡°No comment,¡± Mo Shiting replied without changing his expression. Before they could say anything, he directly asked them to leave, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Please return.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Seeing that they weren¡¯t going to get any benefits from continuing with the stalemate, the Mo family members could only leave reluctantly. Before leaving, Mo Jianyu even especially took another look at Gu Li. An odd glint flashed across his eyes under the lens. After everyone left, Mo Shiting and Gu Li were the only ones left in the large room. The atmosphere became inexplicably strange. Gu Li retreated quietly and moved slightly away from Mo Shiting as she secretly sized him up from the corner of her eye. The man was sitting on the sofa, and although his posture was lazy and casual, the aggressiveness exuding from his entire body made her feel uneasy. Her lively eyes darted around, and Gu Li then asked softly and tentatively, ¡°Young Master Mo, can we have a good chat?¡± Mo Shiting looked up, and his gaze was cold. ¡°In this world, no one has ever schemed against me and be able to escape unscathed.¡± Oh¡­ Gu Li gasped and couldn¡¯t help taking two steps away from him. Mo Shiting noticed her small actions and raised his eyebrow. At this moment, Gu Li said, ¡°Just now, so many people knew that I was married to you. Don¡¯t you think they¡¯ll be suspicious if they don¡¯t see me after today?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Seeing that he wasn¡¯t saying anything and that her words seemed to have registered in his mind, the young girl became braver and started to move towards him. ¡°Since I have sort of helped you, why don¡¯t we call it even?¡± Mo Shiting¡¯s gaze was cold and he ignored her. ¡°Don¡¯t be so petty. Keeping me alive is more useful than killing me.¡± Gu Li walked closer and closer to him, completely unaware that she had already arrived in front of him unknowingly. The fragrance on the young girl¡¯s body faintly wafted over, causing ripples in Mo Shiting¡¯s heart. He impatiently reached out his hand and pushed her away. ¡°Go away.¡± Gu Li: ¡°¡­¡± F*ck! I¡¯m a good-looking woman, am I not? Why is my charm not working even a single bit on him? Does this man really not like women? No wonder Grandpa Mo had been worrying about his marriage. It is indeed quite worrying. Mo Shiting couldn¡¯t be bothered to care about the little thoughts in Gu Li¡¯s mind. He quickly stood up and said, ¡°We¡¯ll discuss the divorce later. During this period of time, cooperate with me to act as a married couple in front of others first.¡± ¡°What if I don¡¯t?¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Li pouted and asked spitefully. The man glanced at her slightly. ¡°You can give it try.¡± Gu Li: ¡°¡­¡± ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª That night, Mo Shiting got someone to send Gu Li back to his private villa, Lantian Bihai, while he went to Old Master Mo¡¯s ward. When he reached the door of the ward, he was stopped by Old Master Mo¡¯s butler, Uncle Guan. ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s already very late. You should go back and rest earlier. Things will be fine with me being around.¡± With one hand in his pocket, Mo Shiting looked around the room indifferently. A few seconds later, he said meaningfully, ¡°Then I¡¯ll be heading back first. Please help me to tell grandfather not to overdo it.¡± After he finished speaking, he strode away, ignoring the stunned expression on Uncle Guan¡¯s face. The moment he left, Uncle Guan immediately locked the door and walked nervously to the bed. Old Master Mo, who was lying on the bed and pretending to be sick, hurriedly got up and asked in disbelief, ¡°What does that little brat mean? He knew that I was pretending to be sick?¡± Uncle Guan said, ¡°Probably.¡± ¡°Then¡­ aren¡¯t my efforts all gone to waste?¡± Mo Shaoyuan couldn¡¯t accept it, and he felt that a few strands of his hair had turned white again. Two months ago, he had fallen and gotten injured in the mountains. He was in a critical situation, and Gu Li just happened to save him. Gu Li was cheerful, warm, kind, and she had this charm that could melt all the ice and snow. Such a wonderful girl was exactly what the cold and lonely Mo Shiting needed. He had long wanted to pair the two of them together, but before he could put it into action, the girl had already done such a shocking thing. Although he didn¡¯t know her motive for doing that, she was still the granddaughter-in-law that he was pleased with, so he had to support her no matter what. Thus, he decided to pretend to be sick and force Mo Shiting to admit to this marriage. However, he had never expected his trick to be seen through. Why is this rascal so smart? The more Mo Shaoyuan thought about it, the more he disliked his only grandson. Seeing this, Uncle Guan smiled. ¡°I think your plan has indeed worked. Think about it, didn¡¯t Young Master not expose you? He even acknowledged Miss Gu¡¯s identity. He probably already understood that you want to pass the power over to him as soon as possible, so he cooperated with you.¡± Hearing his analysis, Old Master Mo finally got over it. ¡°what you said makes a lot of sense. How long more do I have to stay here for?¡± Uncle Guan rubbed his head. ¡°A week?¡± Upon hearing that he would have to stay in the hospital for so long, Old Master Mo immediately flared up. ¡°How can that do? Do you want to bore me to death?¡± ¡°So then¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back tomorrow.¡± Old Master Mo immediately made the decision. ¡°Tomorrow?¡± Uncle Guan gulped. ¡°Isn¡¯t that way too fast?¡± ¡°What¡¯s fast? I¡¯ve already achieved my preliminary goal. I don¡¯t want to stay in this horrible place for even a minute longer. Besides, I still have to plan to have a great-grandson soon. Being here affects my performance!¡± The more Old Master Mo talked, the more enthusiastic he became. ¡°Get the hospital to tell the others that I need to go home to recuperate. Let¡¯s go back tomorrow morning.¡± Uncle Guan: ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ In Lantian Bihai¡­ When Mo Shiting returned to the villa, it was just dawn. When Aunt Guan ¡ªhis housekeeper who wakes up in the morning to work¡ª saw him, she greeted him with a smile. ¡°Young Master, congratulations on your marriage! Young Madam is beautiful and cute, and you can tell that she¡¯s a kind child with just one look. You are very lucky.¡± He didn¡¯t expect that the girl would be able to bribe Aunt Guan so quickly. Mo Shiting¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Where is she?¡± ¡°She¡¯s sleeping in your room.¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± She even went to my room? Who gave her the guts? He opened the door with a dark expression. Everywhere he looked was empty, and he also didn¡¯t see anyone in the bathroom. She escaped? Mo Shiting narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly as a chilly glint flashed across them. Just as he turned around to leave, a soft sound suddenly came from the bed.. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Mo Shiting strode over and found that the girl he thought had disappeared was currently lying at the foot of the bed, hugging a pillow tightly with both hands. Her face was pressed against the pillow as she slept like a pig. She¡¯s sleeping on the floor when there¡¯s a bed? What is she doing? And she¡¯s even drooling? How can there be such a woman? The man¡¯s eyes were full of disdain. ¡­ An hour later¡­ Gu Li got up from the carpet in a daze. When she saw the unfamiliar environment in the room, she suddenly shuddered and immediately perked up. Aunt Guan knocked on the door with a bag of toiletries and said in a concerned tone, ¡°Good morning, Young Madam! Did you sleep well last night?¡± ¡°Good morning, Aunt Guan! I slept pretty well.¡± Gu Li smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries with her. She had completely no idea that this was Mo Shiting¡¯s room, nor did she know that he had come in early in the morning and had even seen her terrible sleeping posture. After washing up, Gu Li tied her hair into a ponytail and ran downstairs feeling refreshed. At the same time, Mo Shiting was already eating in the dining room. Upon hearing the footsteps, he didn¡¯t even look up at her. Gu Li walked over and greeted him with a smile. ¡°Good morning, Young Master Mo.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The man ignored her. Gu Li pursed her lips and walked over to sit down, completely unaffected by his cold attitude. After they had breakfast without disturbing each other, Gu Li asked, ¡°How¡¯s Grandpa Mo¡¯s situation?¡± ¡°My grandfather¡¯s matter has nothing to do with you.¡± After speaking coldly, Mo Shiting stood up and left. ¡°Tsk!¡± Gu Li couldn¡¯t help making a face towards his back. However, he seemed to have eyes behind his back and he turned around right when she made a face at him. Gu Li, who was caught red-handed: ¡°¡­¡± Mo Shiting glanced at her. ¡°Go to the study on the second floor.¡± With that, he strode away without waiting for Gu Li to reply. Gu Li could only follow him to the study. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª In the study¡­ Mo Shiting sat behind the desk and handed her an A4 paper. Gu Li took it and looked at it. What should she take note of? She quickly scanned through them and realized that they were all restrictions on her actions. One of them was particularly eye-catching. Gu Li slammed the paper on the table and sneered disdainfully. ¡°I¡¯m not allowed to sleep in your room? Hah, would I want to do that? Don¡¯t worry, I definitely won¡¯t take even a single step into your room. I¡¯ll just sleep in the room I slept in last night.¡± The corners of Mo Shiting¡¯s lips curved up. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Gu Li raised her beautiful chin. ¡°Of course! I like it a lot.¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± After about two seconds of silence, he finally reminded her kindly, ¡°That¡¯s my room.¡± Gu Li: ¡°¡­¡± No wonder that bed was so hard. It hurt her bones to sleep on it. So that room is his? The girl puffed her cheeks and heard the man change the topic. ¡°You can¡¯t go to visit Grandfather during this period.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Gu Li wasn¡¯t very willing to cooperate. ¡°Don¡¯t complicate things.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Gu Li still wanted to say something, but he chased her out of the study mercilessly. ¡°Hey¡ª¡± Just as she was about to knock on the door, her phone suddenly rang. ¡°Boss, you became a trending topic!¡± Da Ha¡¯s excited voice came through the call. Gu Li was dumbfounded. ¡°I¡¯m not even a celebrity. Why would I be a trending topic?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise the readers that you would update the finale of ¡®The Beautiful Master¡¯ last week? But after waiting for a week, they still haven¡¯t seen it and they found out that you stood them up, so they scolded you so much that you became a trending topic. ¡°F*ck!¡± Gu Li hurriedly opened her Weibo. And of course, the first thing she saw was the hashtag, #Give Us Our Finale ¡®A Sweet Pear¡¯, topping the search list. Gu Li: ¡°¡­¡± ¡®A Sweet Pear¡¯ was her username on the social media platform, Station C. Three months ago, she drew a comic called ¡®The Beautiful Master¡¯ on a whim and uploaded it on Station C, which had accidentally gone viral.. Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios According to the development of the comic¡¯s story, the finale was supposed to be updated last week. She had also announced it, but because she was looking for Mo Shiting to get married, she had completely forgotten about it. She didn¡¯t expect that the readers would be so engrossed and even scold her so much that she became a trending topic. There were even more than 100,000 comments in the comments section in Station C rushing her to update the comic. Of course, it was also because she drew well. She was indeed a talented little fairy. There were a few messages from cultural enterprises lying in her inbox, saying that they had intentions to buy her copyright and make it into a movie. Gu Li didn¡¯t say yes. She wouldn¡¯t make ¡®The Beautiful Master¡¯ into a movie because no one could fully portray her master¡¯s style. But Master, where exactly are you? I have been looking for you for so long, but I haven¡¯t found your whereabouts¡­ ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª That morning, Gu Li found someone to investigate and she then found out that Old Master Mo was faking his illness. She also got to know that he had already gone home to recuperate and didn¡¯t let anyone disturb him. Gu Li guessed that Old Master Mo was doing this to matchmake her and Mo Shiting. She felt extremely complicated. Isn¡¯t it a little immoral for them to scheme against Mo Shiting like this? But with Mo Shiting¡¯s ability, he should know that Old Master Mo was pretending to be sick, right? Yet he still acknowledged me as his ¡®wife¡¯. Did he want to take the opportunity to take control of the Mo Corporation? That should be the case. And for someone as powerful as him, he¡¯ll probably be able to eliminate the opposing forces in the family very soon. By then, I¡¯ll be free, and he will also¡­ The girl¡¯s eyes flashed. At this moment, she suddenly received a string of codes that only she could understand: [Big Miss, I forgot to tell you. If you get a divorce within a year, Mo Shiting will still meet his doom.] Gu Li: ?!?!?! ¡­¡­ At the Mo Corporation¡­ ¡°Young Master, this is Miss Gu¡¯s information.¡± Lu Yang placed the documents in front of Mo Shiting and bowed to him before walking out. Mo Shiting flipped to the first page, and the first thing he saw was the girl¡¯s face with a bright smile on it. [Gu Li, 21 years old. Background unknown. No current fixed occupation.] Just as he glanced at it, he suddenly received a call. ¡°President Mo, your wife is here. She¡¯s taking the elevator up to find you right now.¡± Mo Shiting was slightly dumbfounded. ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Your wife. I originally didn¡¯t believe that you were married, but the receptionist reported that she came with the marriage certificate.¡± The secretary explained with a stifled laugh. Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± She came to the company with the marriage certificate to look for me? Is she crazy? ¡­ The elevator door opened and Gu Li walked out with a lunch box in her hand. Afraid that Mo Shiting would mention getting a divorce at any time, she thought about it and decided to cozy up to him first. So from today onwards, she was going to make lunch ¡ªthat looks, smells and tastes good¡ª for Mo Shiting every day. She wanted him to completely fall in love with her culinary skills and be unwilling to get a divorce. When she reached the door of the president¡¯s office, Gu Li took a deep breath before raising her hand to knock on the door. The door wasn¡¯t closed tightly, so it opened with a light knock, and she then walked in. At this moment, Mo Shiting was sitting on the sofa. He was dressed fully black, and his long legs were crossed elegantly. The rays of sunlight shone in, cutting out his well-defined facial features, making him look extremely handsome and charming. Upon seeing Gu Li, the man¡¯s long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly. And before he even spoke, he saw her running towards him like an excited little bird. ¡°Hubby, I¡¯m here~¡± Hubby? Mo Shiting¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Don¡¯t call me that!¡± Gu Li replied with a smile, ¡°But you didn¡¯t object when I called you that last time.¡± When she finished speaking, she saw his unfriendly gaze and hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, if you don¡¯t want me to call you Hubby, I¡¯ll call you something else. But it¡¯s too distant to call you Young Master Mo.. You¡¯re so much older than me, so why don¡¯t I call you Big Brother Ting?¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Li blurted out the words ¡®Big Brother Ting¡¯, which was a very intimate form of address, having no idea how shocked Mo Shiting was by these three words¡­ ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m called Tangtang1. What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Mo Shiting.¡± ¡°Then, can I call you Big Brother Ting?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Big Brother Ting, there¡¯s thunder. I¡¯m afraid.¡± ¡°You bad people, you¡¯re not allowed to bully my Big Brother Ting¡­ Boohoo¡­ I¡¯ll beat you all you bad people to death! Ah¡ª¡± ¡°Tangtang¡ª¡± ¡­ Seeing that his eyes were closed and his brows were tightly furrowed, she didn¡¯t know what he was thinking. Gu Li took the lunch boxes out of the bag and placed them on the coffee table one by one. She said with concern, ¡°It¡¯s lunchtime. I specially brought you a delicious lunch. Try it and see if you like it, okay?¡± Mo Shiting ignored her for a long time. ¡°Big Brother Ting?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The man suddenly opened his eyes, and his gloomy gaze landed on her face, making her subconsciously hold her breath. Gu Li swallowed her saliva, and just as she was about to say something, he chased her away harshly. ¡°Get out!¡± Gu Li was infuriated by his unappreciative attitude. ¡°I made this myself. If you don¡¯t want to eat it, forget it!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she swiftly put the lunch boxes back into the bag and walked out angrily. She had just taken a few steps out when he stopped her. ¡°Wait.¡± Thinking that he had changed his mind, the girl smiled and turned around. However, he said coldly, ¡°Leave the marriage certificates behind.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The smile on Gu Li¡¯s face froze instantly, and a hint of pain flashed across her eyes. After a moment of silence, she opened her bag and threw the two red booklets on the coffee table. ¡°Here! Did you think I wanted to bring them with me?¡± Anyways, I¡¯ve already successfully gotten the big sister at the front desk to remember my face. There shouldn¡¯t be any more obstacles when I come over next time, so I won¡¯t need to carry the marriage certificates with me. Gu Li left without looking back. Mo Shiting didn¡¯t ask her to stay, and his mood hit rock bottom. Ten minutes later, Luyang knocked on the door and entered. ¡°Young Master, M Nation¡¯s Tang Group¡¯s Miss Qin is here.¡± ¡­ ¡­ Mo Shiting, this bastard! I¡¯m so angry! He¡¯s not going to eat my food? Fine, then don¡¯t even think about eating it in the future! Gu Li was sitting on a green bench near the Mo Corporation building as she hugged the lunch boxes while cursing Mo Shiting out in her mind. ¡°Boss, I¡¯m here.¡± The young man¡¯s excited voice interrupted Gu Li¡¯s thoughts. She looked up and saw Da Ha running over with a smile and short golden hair. Upon seeing him, Gu Li¡¯s mood improved a little. Thankfully, this fellow happened to be nearby so I was able to call him over for lunch. Otherwise, how could I finish all the food alone? ¡°You came quite quickly, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Of course. My Boss is bringing me food. How could I dare to delay?¡± Da Ha sat beside her happily and opened the lunch boxes before starting to wolf down the food. Halfway through eating, he finally remembered to care about Gu Li. ¡°By the way, Boss, you¡¯re still on the trending searches. Why don¡¯t you take this opportunity to enter the entertainment industry?¡± Gu Li said listlessly, ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a pity. One of the directors is my uncle. He even asked me to ask if you¡¯re interested in participating in a variety show.¡± ¡°What show?¡± ¡°¡®The Charming Female Star¡¯. There¡¯s been a lot of talk about it recently. Not only did he read the comic you uploaded on Station C, but he also watched those videos of you criticizing the acting skills of actors and the storylines of dramas. He thinks that you¡¯re vicious-tongued and humorous, and it just so happens that he needs a guest for the first episode of his show, so the production team unanimously thought that you¡¯re very suitable. Why don¡¯t you consider going on it?¡± ¡°No.¡± Gu Li rejected him straight away. Da Ha refused to give up. ¡°Don¡¯t reject me so quickly. Just go for one episode. Besides, didn¡¯t your master object to you showing your face in public? If he sees you on TV, he might come back to find you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Gu Li was hit by his words. Her master leaving without saying goodbye was her sore spot. If me showing my face in front of the public can really make him appear, why don¡¯t I do it? ¡°Okay then. I¡¯ll go for it. Help me arrange it.¡± In the end, she still agreed to go for the filming. ¡°No problem!¡± Da Ha smiled exceptionally brightly. At the same time, at a crossroad not far away, a luxurious car passed by. Mo Shiting was sitting in the backseat of the car and happened to witness this scene. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing the two of them laughing while eating, their relationship was just as good as a young couple¡¯s, Mo Shiting¡¯s gaze gradually turned cold. She even said that she specially made it for me? Yet in the end, she gave it to someone else the next moment. This woman doesn¡¯t speak a single word of truth¡­ As though she could feel the chill around her, Qin Shurong, who was sitting across from him, couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°President Mo, do you know that girl?¡± Mo Shiting¡¯s expression was cold and he didn¡¯t reply. Being snubbed, Qin Shurong¡¯s eyes flashed, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Li. When her gaze landed on the girl¡¯s beautiful face, her eyes widened instantly. That face is so familiar. She looks at least 50% similar to my aunt. Could it be Tang Tang1? No way, Tang Tang died more than ten years ago. There¡¯s no way she could have been alive until now¡­ After comforting herself like this, Qin Shurong finally felt more at ease. At this moment, she heard the other man in the car say with a smile, ¡°With our President Mo¡¯s status, the girls he interacts with are definitely all from prestigious families like you, Miss Qin. How could he know a girl from an ordinary family? There¡¯s no way he would know her.¡± The person speaking was the General Manager of the Mo Group¡¯s branch in M Nation, Xia Xianghuai. Qin Shurong, on the other hand, was the niece of the chairman of the Tang Group, who was also the wealthiest man in M Nation. This time, she had come to China to discuss a collaboration with the Mo Group on behalf of the Tang Group. ¡°That¡¯s true. President Mo is of noble status, so not everyone has a chance to get to know him.¡± Qin Shurong smiled. ¡°Of course¡ª¡± Xia Xianghuai took the opportunity to chat with Qin Shurong. Throughout the entire process, Mo Shiting didn¡¯t participate in their conversation. There were a few times when Qin Shurong wanted to get him to speak, but Xia Xianghuai kept interrupting, making her so angry that she gritted her teeth. On this trip to China, she actually hoped to gain favor with Mo Shiting and at best, agree to have a marriage alliance with her. However, it has already been a few days and Mo Shiting still maintained a distant attitude towards her, and he was still ignoring her. Out of her pride, she was also too embarrassed to mention it. I¡¯ll wait a little longer. Anyways, I¡¯ll be coming over often in the future. There¡¯ll be plenty of opportunities to get close to him. ¡­ Mo Shiting returned home at 9 p.m. When he realized that Gu Li wasn¡¯t around, he raised his eyebrows and asked Aunt Guan, ¡°Where is she?¡± ¡°Young Madam isn¡¯t back yet. Young Master, do you want to call and ask her?¡± Aunt Guan had long found out from her husband, Uncle Guan, that Old Master Mo liked Gu Li very much, so she naturally became a member of the assist team to make their relationship work out. Moreover, it was quite late at night, so she was indeed worried about Gu Li¡¯s safety. If she had her contact information, she would have called her long ago. ¡°No need to care about her.¡± After speaking, Mo Shiting strode upstairs. Seeing that he was indifferent, Aunt Guan followed behind him and was just about to continue persuading him when she heard his phone ring. There was an incoming call. Aunt Guan tactfully retreated. Mo Shiting answered the call. On the other end of the phone, Song Yunque said teasingly, ¡°Fourth Brother, you¡¯re so impressive! You got married without even telling me.¡± Mo Shiting narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous tone, ¡°Since you¡¯re so envious, I¡¯ll get your grandaunt to arrange blind dates for you tomorrow.¡± ¡°No, no, no¡ª¡± Afraid that Mo Shiting would really incite his great aunt to set him up for a blind date, Song Yunque broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°I was wrong, Fourth Brother. Please forgive me.¡± After saying that, he immediately changed the topic. ¡°Third Brother has organized a gathering at the bar. Do you want to come over?¡± ¡°No.¡± Mo Shiting was disinterested until he heard Song Yunque say, ¡°Fourth Sister-in-Law¡¯s name is Gu Li, right? I just saw a girl named Gu Li who claimed to be your wife and having a lot of fun on the dance floor. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to come? Let me tell you this, she drank quite a lot of alcohol. If she accidentally makes you a cuckold, then¡­¡± ¡°Send me the address.¡± Mo Shiting ended the call with a cold face, picked up his jacket, and went downstairs. At the same time, in a VIP private room in a certain bar, Song Yunque placed his phone on the bar counter and grinned at the two men sitting opposite him. ¡°Look, I¡¯m still the impressive, right? I didn¡¯t even have to use much effort to trick Fourth Brother, that abstinent old man, to come here. Haha, I¡¯ve already completed half of the task Grandpa Mo assigned me.¡± Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Li Jinyao frowned. ¡°You¡¯re really getting increasingly bolder.¡± Song Yunque took a sip of red wine and said casually, ¡°With Grandpa Mo backing me up, what¡¯s there to be afraid of? Besides, we¡¯re also thinking of Fourth Brother¡¯s lifelong happiness. Right, Third Brother?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Lu Cong nodded with a smile. While the two of them were chatting, Li Jinyao suddenly stood up. ¡°I have something to do. I¡¯ll get going first.¡± ¡°No way, Second Brother. You¡¯re actually leaving at this critical juncture? How are we going to get Fourth Brother drunk without you?¡± Song Yunque got anxious. Li Jinyao patted his shoulder. ¡°Good luck!¡± After saying this perfunctorily, he left faster than anyone else. Song Yunque couldn¡¯t help but wail. ¡°This is bad. The one who can hold his liqour the best ran away! Third Brother, what should we do?¡± Lu Cong adjusted the glasses on his nose bridge and said casually, ¡°Drug him.¡± ¡°Drug him? Oh yeah!¡± Realization dawned on Song Yunque, and he smiled particularly happily at Lu Cong. ¡°Third Brother, I didn¡¯t expect you, a medical sage, to do such a despicable thing. We¡¯re indeed biological brothers.¡± Lu Cong: ¡°Ha. Ha.¡± My family doesn¡¯t carry such a stupid and cute gene. Half an hour later, Mo Shiting appeared with a cold aura. When he saw that only Lu Cong and Song Yun Que were in the private room and that Gu Li was nowhere to be seen, he raised an eyebrow. ¡°Where is she?¡± Song Yunque didn¡¯t answer his question. ¡°Second Brother just left because he had something to do, and Big Brother didn¡¯t come.¡± Mo Shiting narrowed his sharp eyes. ¡°Think carefully before you answer me.¡± Song Yunque instantly cowered and admitted his mistake. ¡°Fourth Brother, I was wrong. Fourth Sister-in-Law isn¡¯t here. I shouldn¡¯t have tricked you into coming.¡± With that, he immediately sent a distress signal to Lu Cong. Lu Cong tried to smooth things over with a smile. ¡°It¡¯s been hard to see you recently, so we had no choice but to call you out like this. We¡¯ll punish ourselves with three glasses of alcohol later as an apology. What do you think?¡± Hearing this, Mo Shiting then stopped finding trouble with Song Yunque. He strode over to the two of them and sat down. He then poured the alcohol into a glass and drank it. He drank glass after glass, looking as if he wasn¡¯t going to stop until he was drunk. The two people with ulterior motives were almost dumbfounded. That¡¯s strange. Doesn¡¯t he usually stop after getting a taste of it? Why is he so abnormal today? Then should we still drug him or not? ¡­ Gu Li was drawing the finale of ¡®Beautiful Master¡¯ at home. Right at this moment, her phone, which she had put aside, rang. She picked her phone up and saw that it was a call from Mo Shiting. He¡¯s calling me so late at night. Could it be that he wants me to go back to the villa? Dream on! Am I, Gu Li, someone that will come and go as he pleases? Gu Li simply put down her phone and she didn¡¯t answer the call. But the other party was very persistent, and they kept calling her over and over again. In the end, she really had no choice but to answer the call. ¡°If you have something to say, say it quick!¡± An unfamiliar male voice came from the phone. ¡°Fourth Sister-in-Law, my name is Song Yunque, and I¡¯m Mo Shiting¡¯s cousin. My fourth brother is drunk. Come pick him up quickly, or else he¡¯ll be seduced by some seductress. The address is¡­¡± The other party said a lot, and in the end, he hung up without even waiting for Gu Li¡¯s response. Gu Li was completely confused. She originally wanted to ignore him, but she was still worried. So she could only put on her coat, take her car key, and go to the bar. On the other side¡­ Song Yunque put the phone in his pocket and whistled at the tipsy Lu Cong. ¡°Third Brother, let¡¯s go. Fourth Sister-in-Law is almost here.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡± Lu Cong stood up unhurriedly and picked up a bottle of wine. He walked over to Mo Shiting, who was sleeping on the sofa, and poured the wine on him without any hesitation. Yup, as long as his clothes are dirty, they¡¯ll have to taken off¡­ Song Yunque was puzzled. ¡°Third Brother, why did you pour it all over Fourth Brother?¡± Lu Cong rolled his eyes at him. ¡°I really didn¡¯t wrong you to say that you¡¯re stupid.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Go understand it yourself.¡± After saying this, Lu Cong ignored Song Yunque, who was half a beat slower, and turned around to leave. ¡°Hey, say it a little more clearer¡ª¡± Song Yun Que hurriedly followed Lu Cong. ¡­ When Gu Li arrived at the bar, Mo Shiting was the only person in the large private room Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He had his eyes closed and was leaning against the sofa. He seemed to have drunk a lot of alcohol, and his body reeked of alcohol. He wasn¡¯t one who would go berserk after getting drunk. When he was drunk, he would just sleep quietly. Gu Li half-squatted to admire his handsome sleeping face while complaining, ¡°Those bros of yours are all bad friends, aren¡¯t they? Otherwise, how would they leave you behind? ¡°Thankfully, you met me. Otherwise, you might not even be able to keep your innocence. You¡¯re so handsome, yet you don¡¯t know how to protect yourself. How worrying. ¡°Hey, Mo Shiting, wake up¡­ ¡°Mo Shiting?¡± She called out to him a few times, but the man still remained in the same position. Gu Li started to become bold and couldn¡¯t help holding his palm, interlocking her fingers with his. Big Brother Ting, can we still acknowledge each other in this lifetime? But you probably don¡¯t remember me, right? Otherwise, why didn¡¯t you recognize me¡­ Gu Li stared at him in a daze for a long time. Only when it was late at night did she remember to bring him home. She propped his arm up and wanted to help him up. But the two of them fell back down just when they got up, and Gu Li fell onto him directly. Although Gu Li was thin, she still weighed at least 90 pounds, so she woke Mo Shiting up when she smashed onto him. He opened his eyes, and his blurry vision was gradually back in focus. When he saw the young girl lying in his arms like an octopus, a hint of astonishment flashed across his eyes. When he regained his senses, he pushed her away with a look of disdain. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± ¡°Otherwise? Who else do you think it is?¡± Seeing that he was awake, Gu Li immediately kept back the longing in her eyes and walked to the sofa next to him to sit down. Mo Shiting sat up straight and adjusted his slightly messy shirt. Seeing that his clothes were stained with red wine and was sticky, he frowned and looked at Gu Li. ¡°Did you do this?¡± ¡°What?¡± Gu Li blinked. She finally realized that his shirt had a big alcohol stain. Of course, due to the intimate contact they had just now, the white t-shirt she was wearing had also gotten dirty. I came to pick him up out of goodwill, yet I¡¯m being misunderstood and my clothes are also dirtied. Gu Li retorted angrily, ¡°Do you think I¡¯m that free to come all the way here to splash red wine all over you? Do I have to do that?¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± His temples hurt a little. He reached out his hand to massage it and asked tiredly, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Your good friend asked me to pick you up.¡± Gu Li stood up as she spoke. ¡°Since you¡¯re sober, I¡¯ll go back now.¡± Then, she gave him a fake smile. ¡°Bye, Big Brother Ting.¡± She¡¯s calling me Big Brother Ting again¡­ Mo Shiting was dumbfounded. Perhaps it was because he was still tipsy, but in his eyes, the girl¡¯s unrestrained appearance gradually overlapped with the little girl he had known many years ago¡­ Seeing that he didn¡¯t say anything, Gu Li turned around and left. By the time Mo Shiting regained his senses, she had already disappeared. Gu Li, who exactly are you? ¡­ Over the next two days, Gu Li was busy drawing the finale of the comic at home and she didn¡¯t even think of looking for Mo Shiting at all. To her surprise, he came looking for her instead of the other way around. Seeing him standing at the door with one hand in his pocket, Gu Li¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Oh dear, is he here to personally escort me to get a divorce? After welcoming him into the house, Gu Li smiled exceptionally warmly at him. ¡°Young Master Mo, what brings you here? Please sit down quickly. Do you want tea or coffee?¡± ¡°Coffee.¡± Mo Shiting responded lightly and sat down on the sofa. Gu Li lived in a one-bedroom apartment, and although the house was small, it was decorated very warmly. It could be seen that she was a young lady who loved life very much, completely different from cold-blooded machines like him. Mo Shiting casually sized up her living room before finally looking at the screen of the laptop which she had casually placed on the coffee table. She knows how to draw comics? He was surprised and leaned over, wanting to take the laptop when he saw her walking over happily with a cup of coffee. How does this person manage to be so happy every day? Mo Shiting was suddenly a little curious. ¡°Please enjoy.¡± After Gu Li put down the cup, she saw that her laptop was still on and hurriedly closed it. Mo Shiting picked up the coffee cup and drank it elegantly. Gu Li waited for a few minutes, but he didn¡¯t say anything. She couldn¡¯t help but to probe him as she smiled, ¡°Why are you looking for me?¡± Mo Shiting said calmly, ¡°Pack up and come with me.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The smile on Gu Li¡¯s face froze. From the looks of it, does he really want to drag me to get a divorce? No, that can¡¯t be done. I have to find a way to stop him. Thus, she had an idea. She suddenly held her stomach and said weakly, ¡°My¡­ My stomach hurts so much. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to go out today..¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios How could Mo Shiting not see that she was pretending? ¡°Don¡¯t play tricks.¡± Seeing that he wasn¡¯t buying it, Gu Li sat up straight and said seriously, ¡°I¡¯ve seen the almanac. It¡¯s not suitable to get a divorce today.¡± Mo Shiting raised his eyebrows. ¡°Divorce?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it?¡± Gu Li¡¯s eyes lit up. Mo Shiting harrumphed. Gu Li understood it immediately and became energetic again. She stood up excitedly. ¡°Then wait for me. I¡¯ll be done very soon.¡± With that, she rushed into her room. Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± Three minutes later, Gu Li was done packing. Actually, she had only casually braided her hair and changed into a set of clothes suitable for going out. She was wearing a pair of light blue jeans and a white t-shirt. She looked fresh and beautiful. Her standing beside Mo Shiting who was dressed in a cool and handsome suit looked exceptionally harmonious. Seeing Mo Shiting¡¯s gaze land on her, Gu Li deliberately brushed her hair and asked with a smile, ¡°Young Master Mo, did you suddenly realize that I¡¯m very beautiful?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not blind.¡± With that, he walked away with a straight face. Gu Li blinked. What did he mean? Did he mean that he agrees that I¡¯m pretty? ¡­ The two of them went downstairs one after another. Lu Yang was already waiting at the intersection ahead. A black Rolls-Royce was parked beside him. Upon seeing them, Lu Yang immediately opened the backseat door. ¡°Young Master, Young Madam, please.¡± Mo Shiting got in the car expressionlessly. Gu Li smiled and greeted Luyang. ¡°Executive Assistant Lu, sorry to trouble you.¡± Luyang smiled gently. ¡°Young Madam, you¡¯re too polite.¡± ¡°Get in the car.¡± Mo Shiting rushed her impatiently. Only then did Gu Li hurriedly get into the car. The car started, and Lu Yang sensibly pulled up the partition. Seeing the girl sitting right next to him, Mo Shiting said disdainfully, ¡°Sit further away.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Gu Li moved to her right cooperatively. She leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery for a while. But she still couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Mo Shiting was focused on the documents and didn¡¯t even look up at her. ¡°You¡¯ll find out later.¡± Gu Li subconsciously leaned over again. She turned her body and hooked her pinky finger with her eyes curved. ¡°Can¡¯t¡­ Can¡¯t you reveal just a little bit?¡± ¡°No.¡± The man rejected her outright. Gu Li was a little resentful. ¡°Forget it then.¡± ¡°Sit over.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. I get it,¡± Gu Li replied unhappily. She moved further away while mumbling softly, ¡°It¡¯s not like I¡¯ll take advantage of you. What are you afraid of?¡± Petty, petty, petty¡­ Mo Shiting ignored her and continued reading his documents. Being ignored, Gu Li felt that it was too boring to interact with this iceberg, so she just started to hum a song. ¡°You¡¯re my little apple. I can never love you too much. Your red face warms my heart, lighting the fire, fire, fire, fire, fire in my life¡ª1¡± When the girl spoke, her voice was quite sweet, but she was tone-deaf. When she sang, almost none of the words were on tune. Even though this ¡®Little Apple¡¯ song that even children could sing, she still sang it so badly it was almost like a road kill. Mo Shiting frowned uncomfortably. But Gu Li, who was engrossed in singing, didn¡¯t notice this at all and she sang even more happily. ¡°I¡¯ve never disliked you. I like everything about you. With you, everyday is always fresh. With you, the sun shines brighter¡ª¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Mo Shiting finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore and exploded. Gu Li was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped. ¡°Sorry for disturbing you. I didn¡¯t do it on purpose.¡± ¡°Hah¡­¡± Mo Shiting sneered. ¡°Your singing is so bad, yet you still dare to sing? Who gave you the courage to do that?¡± Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°I just lack a bit of you.¡± Gu Li immediately said. ¡°Huh?¡± Mo Shiting frowned. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s just a male streamer. He¡¯s called ¡®I Just Lack A Bit of You¡¯.¡± Afraid that he wouldn¡¯t believe her, she hurriedly took out her phone, opened an interface on Station C and passed it to him. ¡°Here, it¡¯s this person. His singing is a hundred times worse than mine, but he still attracted a lot of fans.¡± With that, she pressed the play button, and a demonic voice instantly broke his eardrums. ¡°Love really takes courage to face gossip¡­ We all need the courage to believe in being together. I can feel you in the crowd1¡ª¡± It was very horrible. Moreover, the voice was extremely familiar to Mo Shiting¡­ Mo Shiting snatched her phone over. As expected, the male streamer in the video who was wearing a half face mask and singing pretentiously was really the fool, Song Yunque1. How dare he! He actually dared to secretly run to Station C to be a streamer again? He changed his aliases one after another. He¡¯s incorrigible! After returning the phone to Gu Li, Mo Shiting directly called Song Yunque. Song Yunque was driving when he received the call from Mo Shiting, and he was a little surprised. ¡°Fourth Brother, why are you free to look for me now?¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°Even a prairie fire cannot burn all the weeds, and it grows again when the spring breeze blows, huh?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Song Yun Que¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Oh my god. Did he find out that I continued singing on Station C? But how could that be? I have clearly tried to keep a low profile. ¡°Fourth Brother, what are you talking about? I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand?¡± Mo Shiting¡¯s tone became increasingly dangerous. ¡°Since you like to sing so much, why don¡¯t I let you sing to your heart¡¯s content tonight?¡± ¡°Hello, Fourth Brother? Hello¡­ The signal isn¡¯t good. I can¡¯t hear you. That¡¯s it for now. Bye bye.¡± After speaking, Song Yunque immediately hung up the phone before Mo Shiting could say anything. Oh my god, I¡¯m so dead. If Grandaunt finds out that I¡¯m being a streamer at Station C, I¡¯ll be dead meat. I have to destroy all the evidence. He stopped the car at the side of the road and started to delete the videos. He deleted fifteen videos in a row and finally deleted all the videos on his channel. Looking at the blank interface, Song Yunque finally heaved a sigh of relief. On the other side¡­ Gu Li asked Mo Shiting out of curiousity, ¡°Is that male streamer someone you know?¡± Mo Shiting ignored her and continued reading his documents. Seeing this, Gu Li didn¡¯t continue to ask him about it. However, when she refreshed the site, she realized that all his singing videos had disappeared. Did Mo Shiting do this? Oh no, my source of happiness is gone¡­ ¡­ Half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the fashion shop¡¯s building which was luxuriously decorated. Only then did Gu Li know that Mo Shiting had brought her here to buy clothes. He was doing this for her to attend his biological grandmother¡¯s 70th birthday banquet. As soon as the two entered the store, the store manager welcomed them warmly. ¡°Young Master Mo, you¡¯re here.¡± After greeting Mo Shiting, she smiled at Gu Li. ¡°You must be Young Madam, right? Hello, I¡¯m the manager of this store, Sha Li. I¡¯ll take you to try on some clothes now.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Gu Li nodded slightly and followed behind her. Meanwhile, Mo Shiting walked to the sofa and sat down, lowering his head to settle his emails on his phone. After about ten minutes, the door of the fitting room opened. Mo Shiting looked over and saw the girl walking over in a long dress. The gentle cherry blossom pink color of the dress complemented her natural youthful aura, making her look even sweeter. The dress had a one-shoulder design, thus revealing one side of her collarbone and shoulders. It was playful yet also sexy. The dress wrapped tightly around her slender waist, and her figure was so good that one couldn¡¯t take their eyes off her. ¡°How is it? Does it look good?¡± Gu Li walked in front of him and twirled elegantly with her skirt. Just as she was waiting for him to praise her, she heard him say coldly, ¡°It¡¯s ugly.¡± Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Ugly?¡± Gu Li¡¯s eyes widened. At this moment, she deeply suspected that this man was definitely blind. Otherwise, how could he say such a thing to such a lovable little fairy? He just simply¡­ ¡­ deserves to be single! Mo Shiting looked sharply at Sally, who was waiting at the side. ¡°Aren¡¯t there any dresses with high neck designs?¡± Sally shuddered and hurriedly said, ¡°We do have a treasured piece of that design in our store. I¡¯ll go get it for Young Madam to try it out now.¡± Oh my, so it¡¯s not that the dress is ugly, but it¡¯s that Young Master Mo can¡¯t bear to let others see his wife. Hehehe, that¡¯s so cute. Sally soon disappeared, and Gu Li couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Since it¡¯s a treasured piece of the store, it must be very expensive. Why don¡¯t we do without it? I think the one on me is pretty good.¡± Mo Shiting raised his eyebrows and looked at her, ¡°Do you think I can¡¯t afford it?¡± Gu Li laughed dryly. ¡°How could that be? There¡¯s nothing in this world that you can¡¯t afford, Young Master Mo. I¡¯m just afraid that you¡¯ll spend too much. Haha.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Sally had already brought the dress over. She introduced, ¡°This dress has gone through an extremely complicated embroidery process during its production. Coupled with 108 top-notch wild pearls embroidered on it, it looks both elegant and noble. Young Madam will definitely look good in it.¡± ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll give it a try then.¡± Gu Li smiled and went along with the flow. The design of this gown wasn¡¯t the most outstanding compared to the other dresses, but once Gu Li put it on, it was as if this dress was personally made for her. It was so perfect that it was beyond comparison. ¡°My god, this is so beautiful!¡± Not only Sally, but the other shop assistants also couldn¡¯t help praising her. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Mo Shiting¡¯s aura was too strong, they would have walked over to admire her in the dress up close. ¡°How is it?¡± Gu Li was also quite satisfied with the look herself and couldn¡¯t help but look at Mo Shiting. Mo Shiting shifted his gaze away from her. ¡°This will do.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a black card and handed it to the manager without even asking for the price. On the other hand, Gu Li glanced at the record on the credit card machine and was shocked by the astronomical price. That price hurts. ¡­ Mo Shiting¡¯s grandmother, Song Xiyue, was the daughter of the Song family, which was a prestigious family. She had already separated from Old Master Mo since she was young, and up until now, they have neither gotten divorced nor reconciled after so many years and she has been living in her own family mansion since then. She was the famous ¡®Iron Lady¡¯ in the business world, and she had once pulled the Song Group, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, back on track by herself. The corporation¡¯s market value had also increased by several times under her, and thus she was very respected by the family. In addition to that, as she had long ignored the internal and external affairs of the Mo family, outsiders would usually call her Old Madam Song. At seven in the evening, at the Song family mansion¡­ In order to celebrate Old Madam Fu¡¯s seventieth birthday, the entire residence¡¯s decoration was very joyous, and the hall was also full of guests who had come to celebrate her birthday. The men raised their glasses, drank alcohol, and chatted loudly while the women circled around her. Although Old Madam Song was already old, her aura was still as strong as before. She was surrounded by a group of wealthy ladies, and she had a faint smile on her well-maintained face throughout. It was obvious that she was in a good mood until someone mentioned Mo Shiting¡­ ¡°Old Madam, I heard that Young Master Mo got married. Congratulations! I wonder which family¡¯s young lady he married. I didn¡¯t hear anything about it before.¡± The person speaking was the wife of a certain congressman. Song Xiyue¡¯s expression changed slightly, and she pursed her lips. Another wealthy lady then said, ¡°What? Young Master Mo is married? Then what about Miss Yunsi? I thought they would get together.¡± ¡°Miss Yunsi is virtuous and talented. She¡¯s really compatible with Young Master Mo. It¡¯s such a pity that they didn¡¯t get together.¡± ¡°When will Young Master Mo arrive? We should be able to see that lady tonight, right?¡± ¡°What about Miss Yunsi?¡± ¡°I think she¡¯s still overseas and she hasn¡¯t returned yet.¡± ¡­ Women had always been the most interested in these kinds of gossip, especially if the male and female leads of the gossip were the famous ¡®perfect match¡¯ in the aristocratic circle. All of them were very excited as they talked from the moment they started. With their words poking at her heart, Old Madam Song¡¯s expression became increasingly dark.. Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Mo Shiting was her only grandson, yet he had hidden it from her and gotten married without her consent. Moreover, the woman he had married was an unpresentable little girl. How ridiculous! Gu Li didn¡¯t know that before she had even met Old Madam Song, she was already utterly despised by her. At this moment, she and Mo Shiting had just arrived at the Song family mansion. After getting out of the car, Mo Shiting turned around and reminded her in a deep voice, ¡°Be careful with your words and actions.¡± Gu Li replied casually, ¡°I know. I¡¯m not a child. I know what to say and what not to say. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t drag you down.¡± Mo Shiting smiled coldly, ¡°That¡¯d better be the case.¡± ¡°But Young Master Mo¡ª¡± Gu Li suddenly stopped and looked at him curiously. ¡°Will there be any of your exes or admirers who¡¯ll trip me up? I¡¯m so scared.¡± Mo Shiting glanced at her from the corner of his eye. ¡°You¡¯re scared?¡± Gu Li pretended to be aggrieved. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m so weak. I¡¯m most afraid of getting bullied. Hubby, you have to protect me.¡± With that, she grabbed his arm. The girl¡¯s hand was slender and beautiful. Under the contrast of his black suit, it was exceptionally fair and beautiful. Mo Shiting was a little distracted for a moment before he came back to his senses and frowned in disdain, ¡°Let go.¡± Gu Li blinked her eyes with her curly eyelashes and revealed an innocent smile. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we have to act as a married couple in front of other people? We¡¯ll look more like a couple this way. Let¡¯s go in quickly, Hubby. Don¡¯t make Grandma wait too long.¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± After a few seconds of silence, he ignored the little claw on his arm and expressionlessly walked in with her according to her pace. The moment the two of them appeared, they immediately caused a commotion. The gown Gu Li was wearing had even become the center of attention. ¡°Oh my god, isn¡¯t that gown the work of the great designer, Dana, and the treasured piece of the DN brand?¡± ¡°Yes. I saw it in a magazine a few days ago. I didn¡¯t expect it to be on her.¡± ¡°It seems like Young Master Mo really likes that woman.¡± ¡°She¡¯s not that good-looking either¡­¡± The rich young ladies discussed bitterly among themselves, and they just wished they could gouge a few holes in Gu Li. The wealthy ladies also had their own hidden thoughts. As they sized up Gu Li, they were secretly making their own assumptions. That old madam isn¡¯t one who is easy to get along with. We¡¯re definitely going to have a good show to watch. Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Mo Shiting and Gu Li finally arrived in front of Old Madam Song. ¡°Happy birthday, Grandma!¡± Mo Shiting bowed slightly to Old Madam Song and introduced, ¡°This is my wife, Gu Li.¡± With a smile on her face, Gu Li greeted her naturally. ¡°Hello, Grandma! May your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, and may you live as long as the Zhongnan Mountains!¡± Old Madam Song didn¡¯t even look at her once as she glared at Mo Shiting. ¡°Follow me to the study.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Shiting nodded slightly and followed after her along with Gu Li. But just as she took a step, Old Madam Song said, ¡°Miss Gu, welcome to my birthday party. I¡¯m sorry, but as an outsider, it¡¯s not convenient for you to participate in me and my grandson¡¯s discussion.¡± Although she spoke politely, she didn¡¯t hide the coldness in her words at all. The corners of Gu Li¡¯s lips stiffened slightly, but she quickly smiled and replied, ¡°Okay, it¡¯s alright.¡± After speaking, she slowly let go of Mo Shiting¡¯s arm. The grandmother and grandson left the hall one after another. When the aristocratic ladies and socialites around them saw this, they started whispering again and were making all sorts of comments towards Gu Li. And of course, no one approached her. Gu Li just simply ignored all of this and walked to a corner with a glass of red wine. Looking at the joyous crowd under the bright lights in the hall, for some reason, there was a hint of loneliness in her heart. ¡°You¡¯re Gu Li, right?¡± In her daze, a young woman who was dressed in a green gown appeared in front of her and said arrogantly, ¡°Please leave Young Master Mo immediately!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Leave Mo Shiting? How is that possible?! I finally got married to him after so much difficulty. If I leave him now, he¡¯ll lose his life. Gu Li looked up and glanced at her as she asked casually, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°You¡­ don¡¯t know me?¡± Qiu Yuxin¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. I¡¯m one of the top female celebrities in the country, and I¡¯m the female lead of countless popular dramas! There¡¯s actually someone who doesn¡¯t know me?! She¡¯s pretending, isn¡¯t she?! At the thought of this, she snorted again. ¡°You¡¯re quite good at pretending, aren¡¯t you?¡± Gu Li was speechless. ¡°Am I supposed to know you?¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Qiu Yuxin was furious. ¡°Fine! But you should know Shen Yunsi, right? She¡¯s Young Master Mo¡¯s childhood sweetheart girlfriend, and she¡¯s also the only choice for a granddaughter-in-law that Old Madam Song is content with.¡± Shen Yunsi was her best friend. She had come to attend Old Madam Fu¡¯s birthday banquet tonight to vent her anger on Gu Li. ¡°Oh.¡± I don¡¯t know her. ¡°And so?¡± Gu Li asked. She had done an investigation on Mo Shiting before, and it showed that he had never had a girlfriend. Is this woman here to help that Shen Yunsi vent her anger? Or was there something wrong with the information I got? ¡°You¡¯re just an unpresentable girl. How can you compare to Yunsi? I advise you to be sensible and screw off to where you came from!¡± After warning her, Qiu Yuxin glared at her in disdain. Gu Li burst into laughter. ¡°Why should I compare myself to her? Even if he did have those so-called childhood sweethearts and ex-girlfriends, they¡¯re all in the past. The name that¡¯s written on the column for his spouse on his certificates now is mine.¡± Besides, when it comes to childhood sweethearts, I¡¯m not necessarily inferior to others. After all, Big Brother Ting and I were¡­ ¡°You¡ª¡± Qiu Yuxin didn¡¯t expect this girl to be so eloquent, and she couldn¡¯t find any words to refute her for a moment. At this moment¡­ ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, please move to the stage¡­¡± The emcee¡¯s magnetic voice pulled everyone¡¯s attention to the center of the banquet venue. Seeing that Mo Shiting and Old Madam Song had already come out of the study and were standing at the side of the stage, Gu Li was about to go over when Qiu Yuxin grabbed her arm. ¡°Do you know what Old Madam Song is going to do next? She will be announcing the establishment of a public welfare fund named after Yunsi and Young Master Mo. If I were you, I wouldn¡¯t rush over to embarrass myself. Old Madam Song will never acknowledge you. You and Young Master Mo will never have a good ending!¡± Gu Li pushed her hand away coldly. ¡°Thank you for reminding me.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she ignored Qiu Yuxin¡¯s pestering and walked away swiftly. Gu Li didn¡¯t take Qiu Yuxin¡¯s words seriously. However, when she saw Old Madam Song go on stage to announce the official establishment of the Shiyun1 Charity Foundation, she felt inexplicably flustered. I¡¯m probably just feeling terrible because I got slapped on the face in front of so many people. But what right do I have to mind? This marriage is just something that I got from tricking him¡­ Not wanting to stay in the hall, Gu Li walked to the garden to take a breather. After sitting on the swing for a long time, Mo Shiting didn¡¯t even come looking for her. Instead, Old Madam Song¡¯s personal servant, Auntie Liu, appeared. ¡°Miss Gu, Old Madam would like to see you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Gu Li got out of the swing and straightened her gown. She followed Auntie Liu gracefully to the study. Old Madam Song was resting on the sofa. When she saw Gu Li enter, she didn¡¯t ask her to sit down. Instead, she raised her chin and went straight to the point. ¡°Miss Gu, frankly speaking, I don¡¯t consent to your marriage!¡± Gu Li replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, ¡°I know, I¡¯ve seen your attitude tonight.¡± ¡°Since you know it, name a price!¡± Old Madam Song said domineeringly. Even if I can¡¯t control Shiting, I don¡¯t believe I can¡¯t control this young lady. Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At first, Gu Li was feeling quite depressed, but when she saw Old Madam Song¡¯s domineering actions, she was suddenly amused. ¡°Old Madam, I really can¡¯t decide when to leave Young Master Mo. I listen to his words. Why don¡¯t you talk to him?¡± Old Madam Song was so angry that her face turned green. ¡°How dare you! Who allowed you to talk to me like that?! Auntie Liu, slap her!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Auntie Liu immediately obeyed and raised her right hand, slapping it towards Gu Li. Gu Li didn¡¯t expect that they would hit her and was slightly stunned. However, the slap she had expected didn¡¯t come. Gu Li blinked her eyes which were full of confusion. It was only then that she realized that Mo Shiting was already standing in front of her, and that he had reached out his hand to grab Auntie Liu¡¯s wrist. Old Madam Song suddenly stood up and pointed at him with trembling hands. ¡°Mo Shiting, how¡­ how dare you protect her?!¡± Mo Shiting¡¯s handsome face was extremely cold, ¡°Grandma, I will teach my wife myself, so you don¡¯t have to worry about her. Goodbye!¡± After saying this, he didn¡¯t wait for Old Madam Fu to speak and directly brought Gu Li out. Not expecting that Mo Shiting would disobey her so much for a woman, Old Madam Song was so angry that her chest hurt, ¡°Rebellious! He¡¯s really being rebellious to me!¡± ¡­ Gu Li had never expected that Mo Shiting would side with her in front of Old Madam Fu. Walking out of the hall, she grabbed his arm. ¡°Young Master Mo, thank you for helping me out just now. But, are you sure it¡¯s okay to offend your grandmother because of me?¡± Mo Shiting glanced at her coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t flatter yourself!¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Gu Li let go of him and then smiled brightly. ¡°Anyways, thank you.¡± ¡°Hah.¡± The man snorted and strode towards the parking lot. Gu Li hurriedly followed behind him. As soon as the car drove out of the Song family mansion, she couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Um, why didn¡¯t you tell your grandmother that we¡¯re faking our marriage? If you had told her, she wouldn¡¯t have been so unhappy.¡± The reason Old Madam Song had come looking for her was obvious: her conversation with Mo Shiting in her study room didn¡¯t end well. Mo Shiting looked at the night view outside the car window. ¡°No comment.¡± Gu Li pursed her lips. ¡°What if she finds trouble with me again?¡± ¡°Handle it yourself.¡± ¡°You¡¯re so heartless!¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± Gu Li¡¯s eyes darted around before she then asked, ¡°Is that Shen Yunsi your girlfriend? Did I accidentally break up someone else¡¯s marriage?¡± Although she had argued with that woman self-righteously just now, she would still feel guilty if he and Shen Yunsi were really a couple. Even if it was for his own good, he doesn¡¯t know anything about it¡­ Gu Li¡¯s curly eyelashes blinked, and she lowered her eyes to hide a strange glint in her eyes. Luckily, Mo Shiting denied firmly the next second. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Really?¡± The girl¡¯s relieved smile suddenly appeared in Mo Shiting¡¯s sight. The lights in the car were dim, but at this moment, Mo Shiting felt that her glass-like eyes were even brighter than the stars in the night sky. Perhaps it¡¯s because I drank a few more glasses with Song Yunque and the others tonight so I¡¯m drunk¡­ At the thought of this, Mo Shiting closed his eyes to prevent himself from being bewitched by her again. Seeing him sleeping, Gu Li also felt a little sleepy and couldn¡¯t help yawning. The car steadily drove along the street. Slowly, the girl¡¯s eyelids started to close occasionally. In the end, she finally closed them and fell asleep. Her head tilted and just happened to fall onto Mo Shiting¡¯s shoulder. Mo Shiting opened his eyes and reached out his hand to move her head away slightly. However, not long later, she leaned over again and she was sleeping exceptionally soundly. This woman¡­ Even if I throw her into the desert, she¡¯ll still probably be able to sleep very well. Mo Shiting pursed his lips.. Just as he was about to move her head further away, he heard the girl mutter, ¡°Big Brother Ting¡­¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Her saying the words ¡°Big Brother Ting¡± sweetly accidentally tugged at the strings in Mo Shiting¡¯s heart again. Even though he knew that it was impossible for her to be Tangtang, he still couldn¡¯t help turning around to size her up under the dim lights in the car. His gaze involuntarily landed on her exquisite face. The girl¡¯s facial features were extremely beautiful, especially her pink lips, which were as attractive as jelly¡­ Perhaps it was because of the alcohol, but he actually lowered his head uncontrollably. His handsome face gradually approached hers. However, just as his lips touched hers, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, completely dispersing his craziness¡­ Thank goodness! The next day, Gu Li woke up from her aching back. The sky was already high up in the sky. Sunlight shone through the car window and landed on her face. When she opened her eyes and found herself sitting in the car, she was slightly dumbfounded. When she regained her senses, she exploded in anger. That heartless Mo Shiting actually abandoned me without even waking me up? To think that I was still a little touched by his ¡®domineering attitude when he was protecting his wife¡¯ last night. In the end¡­ ¡­ my sincerity was still all gone to waste! What a scumbag! Gu Li rubbed her numb shoulders and cursed a certain someone in her heart as she pushed the car door open and got out of the car. After passing through the garden and entering the house, the first thing she saw was the man sitting at the dining table and eating elegantly. He sure is having a good meal. It would be strange if such a man isn¡¯t destined to be alone! Gu Li pursed her lips, lifted her skirt, straightened her back, and walked over valiantly. ¡°Mo Shiting, explain to me why you left me in the car.¡± Mo Shiting looked at her. When he saw that the girl¡¯s hair was messy and her beautiful face was puffed up in anger, she looked cute and comical. A glint flashed across his long and narrow eyes. When she walked up to him, he regained his usual coldness. ¡°Why? Would you have expected me to carry you into the house?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Gu Li choked at his words. After about two seconds, she said, ¡°It¡¯s not impossible for you to carry me.¡± ¡°Dream on!¡± Gu Li snorted. ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°Young Madam, you¡¯re back. Have you eaten breakfast? I¡¯ll prepare it for you.¡± Aunt Guan walked in from outside and interrupted their interaction. Gu Li turned around and smiled at her. ¡°Okay, thank you Aunt Guan. I¡¯ll go wash up first then.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she glared at Mo Shiting angrily before lifting her skirt again and slowly walking to the stairs. Looking at the girl¡¯s beautiful back, Aunt Guan couldn¡¯t help complimenting her. ¡°Young Madam is so stunning, and she¡¯s both lively and cute. Young Master, you¡¯re really lucky!¡± Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ After Gu Li finished washing up and went downstairs. Mo Shiting was already no longer at home. That¡¯s good too.That saves her from getting angry again when I see him. Gu Li then had her breakfast happily. ¡®Today, she had to go to the TV station to record a variety show called ¡®The Charming Female Star¡¯. Before leaving the house, Gu Li changed into a one-piece dress. Mo Shiting had gotten this dress custom-made, and when she wore it, she looked as lively and beautiful as a fairy. When she drove to the broadcasting station, Da Ha was already waiting for her there. The two of them met the director and producer together, and only then did Gu Li realize that she had been tricked by Da Ha. She wasn¡¯t a guest who would only be participating in one episode of the program at all. She was actually here to be a mentor. What?! I¡¯m just a normal person, yet I¡¯m being a mentor for a group of popular female celebrities? What in the world is going on? After walking out of the director¡¯s office, Gu Li rolled the program schedule in her hand into a cylinder and smashed it onto Da Ha. ¡°To think I trusted you so much that I signed the contract without even looking at it much, yet you dug such a big hole for me? I¡­ I¡¯ll beat you to death!¡± Da Ha pleaded aggrievedly, ¡°Boss, I was wrong¡­ I was really wrong. But if I told you the truth, you definitely wouldn¡¯t be willing to come. Didn¡¯t I do it so that you can find your master as soon as possible?¡± ¡°¡­¡± At the mention of her master, Gu Li¡¯s expression suddenly became desolate, and she was no longer in the mood to beat Da Ha up. Upon seeing this, Da Ha immediately comforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t give yourself too much pressure. I believe that with your intelligence and wisdom, you¡¯ll definitely be able to suppress those female celebrities..¡± Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Suppress us female celebrities? How arrogant!¡± A sarcastic female voice sounded from behind them. Gu Li turned around and saw Qiu Yuxin striding over with a staff member. Enemies are indeed bound to meet on a narrow road. It hasn¡¯t even been 24 hours since I last saw her. Actually, Gu Li had deliberately said that she didn¡¯t know Qiu Yuxin last night. As a drama review content creator, she definitely has seen the drama Qiu Yuxin acted in. Her acting skills were very bad, but she had a strong backing and had been sitting firmly on the position of an A-list celebrity in the entertainment industry for the past few years. She couldn¡¯t be bothered to get into a conflict with Qiu Yuxiu at such an occasion, so Gu Li decided to drag Da Ha away before Qiu Yuxin reached her. Seeing that Gu Li actually dared to ignore her, Qiu Yuxin was so angry that her face turned green. She asked her manager, who was beside her, ¡°Why is that damn bitch here?¡± Her manager guessed, ¡°She¡¯s probably the show¡¯s non-celeb tutor and content creator on Station C, ¡®A Sweet Pear¡¯.¡± Qiu Yuxin frowned. ¡°The one that once said that my morals are improper and that I¡¯m not likable?¡± ¡°Yes. But to be precise, the person she evaluated was your character in the drama you acted in.¡± ¡°Hmph! She¡¯s just deliberately making things difficult for me. Go tell the director that I don¡¯t want to see her on the show.¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Her manager hesitated. ¡°We¡¯re about to start recording the show soon. It¡¯s not too good to suddenly change someone out of the show, right?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care!¡± Qiu Yuxin gritted her teeth fiercely. ¡°Anyways, if she¡¯s here, there will be none of me. If I¡¯m going to be here, there will be none of her!¡± Her manager: ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ Gu Li didn¡¯t expect that the director would actually inform her that they have terminated her contract just half an hour before the recording started. Her pay was low, only 100,000 yuan, and she received three times that amount as compensation. Gu Li had no objections to this outcome and walked out of the TV station with a calm expression. But Da Ha was unhappy. ¡°Boss, Qiu Yuxin has already bullied you so much. How can you still tolerate it?¡± Gu Li didn¡¯t mind. ¡°She¡¯s a top celebrity, and I¡¯m just a normal person. If it were you, how would you choose?¡± ¡°How infuriating! How can my uncle submit to power?!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t blame the director for this. After all, no one can resist the power of capitalism. But this entertainment industry is indeed quite interesting. The weak are prey to the strong, and the strong are flattered while the weak are trampled on. It¡¯s full of schemes and traps are everywhere. It¡¯s really a big dye vat.¡± Gu Li couldn¡¯t help but to sigh. ¡°Yeah.¡± Da Ha nodded in agreement. ¡°I didn¡¯t have much of a feeling about it in the past. But now that it has happened to you, I finally truly understand the anger of being transparent and getting replaced. I¡¯m so angry!¡± At this point, Da Ha clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, he had an idea. ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t we open an entertainment company and carve out a bright path for the young girls and boys with dreams in the world?¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± Gu Li was amused by his ambition. ¡°This belief is worth having.¡± ¡°So, you agree?¡± Da Ha was overjoyed. ¡°Yeah.¡± Gu Li nodded. ¡°Isn¡¯t it meaningful to nurture the stars you like and produce the dramas you like? I do want to give it a try. But it¡¯s not that simple to start an entertainment company. We have to plan carefully.¡± Unknowingly, the two of them had already walked to Gu Li¡¯s car. She casually opened the driver¡¯s seat door and got in. Da Ha also wanted to get into the car. ¡°Boss, in that case, treat me to a big meal. Let¡¯s talk while we eat.¡± Gu Li rejected him mercilessly. ¡°I¡¯m very busy.¡± ¡°Aw¡­¡± Da Ha looked aggrieved. ¡°What are you busy with?¡± Gu Li smiled like a little fox. ¡°Busy flirting with my husband. Remember to give me a study report on the feasibility of establishing an entertainment company tomorrow. I¡¯ll get going first.¡± With that, she waved at Da Ha and closed the car door under the young man¡¯s aggrieved gaze. Half an hour later, the car arrived at the Mo Corporation. After parking the car, Gu Li specially tidied her hair before carrying her bag and walking in happily. She originally thought that she could go as smoothly as last time, but she was stopped by the receptionist at the front desk.. ¡°Young Madam, President Mo said that you can¡¯t go upstairs!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He¡¯s not letting me go upstairs? He¡¯s guarding against me just as if he¡¯s guarding against a thief. He might as well not even let me enter his house. Gu Li couldn¡¯t help complaining, but she still smiled and asked the receptionist, ¡°When did he give the order?¡± ¡°This afternoon.¡± The receptionist answered truthfully. This afternoon? Gu Li frowned, unable to figure out how she had offended him. She walked to the sofa in a corner of the lobby and called Mo Shiting. The man didn¡¯t answer and only replied her with a question mark. [?] Very well. You¡¯re a man of few words, right? Gu Li took a deep breath and copied him. [??] After waiting for a long time, he didn¡¯t reply. Gu Li exploded in anger. [Mo Shiting, I¡¯m at your company¡¯s lobby. Why aren¡¯t you letting me go up?] She originally thought that he wouldn¡¯t reply, but unexpectedly, he replied to her instantly. [Think about it yourself.] What? Think about it myself? If I could think of the reason, would I still need to ask him? Gu Li puffed up her cheeks and quickly typed on her phone. [Give me a hint, Big Brother Ting.] At this moment, Mo Shiting was listening to the company¡¯s executives report their work. His originally cold and handsome face suddenly had a hint of warmth on it when he saw the girl¡¯s message which had the words, ¡®Big Brother Ting¡¯ on it. He pursed his lips lightly and replied, ¡°Wait downstairs.¡± When Gu Li saw this message, she subconsciously glanced at the time. It was almost six in the evening. Is he asking me to wait for him to get off work? That¡¯s fine too. I have nothing else to do anyways. Gu Li sat down and started playing games on her phone. With that, she waited until eight in the evening. After the meeting ended, Mo Shiting went down to the lobby. From afar, he saw the girl sitting with her legs crossed and her head lowered as she played with her phone. The man¡¯s gaze was fixed on her fair and straight legs, and his eyes darkened slightly. The dress is too short. Gu Li was having so much fun that she didn¡¯t notice that someone was approaching her at all until he walked up to her and snatched her phone away. ¡°Hey, return it to me¡ª¡± Gu Li immediately jumped up. However, her feet went numb, and thus she staggered and fell forward. Mo Shiting quickly grabbed her, but he used too much force and so he pulled her into his embrace. Bang! Her straight and pretty nose hit his chest hard, and it was so painful that tears fell out from Gu Li¡¯s eyes. Mo Shiting immediately let go of her. ¡°Are you alright?¡± That¡¯s rare of him. This is the first time he ever showed concern for me throughout this period of time. Gu Li was a little touched. Unfortunately, it only lasted for a second before he reached out his hand and pinched her nose. ¡°It¡¯s not broken.¡± Gu Li shooed his hand away and glared at him with tears in her eyes. ¡°My nose is completely natural. How can it be broken so easily?¡± Completely natural? Mo Shiting glanced at her. There is indeed no plastic surgeon that could have created such a beautiful face through plastic surgery. She definitely wanted to enter the entertainment industry because of her beauty that could bewitch all the men. At the thought that she had actually gone to attend a messy variety show recording behind his back, the glint in Mo Shiting¡¯s eyes turned cold, ¡°Gu Li!¡± Gu Li was still rubbing her nose when she suddenly heard him call her name in a serious tone. She couldn¡¯t help but straighten her back. ¡°What?¡± ¡°You must be punished for violating the 101st Mo family rule!¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Gu Li was dumbfounded. What did I do? How did I violate the family rules? Why do they have so many family rules? Mo Shiting didn¡¯t explain and just simply raised his right hand. The two bodyguards following behind him quickly stepped forward, grabbed Gu Li, and dragged her out. Gu Li: ¡°???¡± When she regained her senses, she struggled with all her might. ¡°Let go of me! ¡°Mo Shiting, what exactly do you want? ¡°Mo Shiting¡ª¡± Fortunately, the company¡¯s employees had already gotten off work and the lobby was empty. Otherwise, all of this would have definitely stirred up a commotion. Mo Shiting ignored her. Gu Li screamed her lungs out, but it was futile. In the end, she could only let them drag her into the car. Boohoo, if I had known earlier, I would have definitely escaped. I wouldn¡¯t have foolishly sent myself to his doorstep and waited here for him for two hours! Boohoo¡­ Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At the old Mo residence¡­ Just as Mo Shaoyuan was about to go to bed, he saw Uncle Guan run towards him hurriedly and he reported, ¡°Old Master, something bad had happened. Young Master has captured Young Madam back.¡± Upon hearing that Gu Li was here, Old Master Fu was so excited that he directly ignored the word ¡®captured¡¯. He couldn¡¯t stop smiling as he said, ¡°Oh, is that brat finally enlightened? He finally knows that he should bring Little Pear1 back here? Quick, Old Guan, bring me my jacket.¡± Seeing that Old Master Guan was so happy, Uncle Guan couldn¡¯t bear to burst his bubble. ¡°Young Master locked Young Madam up in the ancestral hall. Apparently, Young Madam has violated the family rules and he wants to punish her.¡± ¡°What?!¡± ¡­ Upon learning that Gu Li was locked up in the ancestral hall, Old Master Fu couldn¡¯t sit still for a moment and immediately rushed over. When the two rows of bodyguards guarding the door saw him, they respectfully greeted him but they didn¡¯t allow him to enter. ¡°We¡¯re sorry, Old Master. Young Master has ordered that no one is to enter the ancestral hall.¡± They were all Mo Shiting¡¯s trusted subordinates and they only obeyed his orders. He didn¡¯t expect that as the head of the family, he wouldn¡¯t even be able to enter the ancestral hall. Old Master Mo hit his walking stick hard on the ground and reprimanded sternly, ¡°How dare you!¡± The bodyguards bowed their heads in unison. ¡°Old Master, please calm down!¡± Old Master Mo was even angrier. ¡°Well then I want to see who would dare to stop me!¡± With that, he picked up his walking stick and rushed over aggressively. The bodyguards looked at each other, but no one dared to stop him. After all, he was Mo Shiting¡¯s biological grandfather. If anything happens to him, they wouldn¡¯t be able to compensate for it even with their lives. Besides, the door was locked from the inside, so it couldn¡¯t be opened from the outside. As expected, after trying a few times to no avail, Mo Shaoyuan cursed out loud angrily, ¡°Mo Shiting, you bastard! What did you do to Little Pear?!¡± No one replied. The ancestral hall was so big that his voice couldn¡¯t reach Mo Shiting¡¯s ears at all. Of course, Old Master Mo knew this, but he still refused to give up. ¡°Mo Shiting, come out! Little Pear is such an obedient child. How could she have broken the family rules?! Tell me, which one did she break?! Huh?! ¡°Fine, keep up with your act then! Be careful not to lose your wife and end up staying single for the rest of your life! ¡°Mo Shiting¡ª¡± Despite him doing that for a long time, he didn¡¯t even manage to scold Mo Shiting. Old Master Mo held his chest and panted as he said to Uncle Guan, ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Uncle Guan hurriedly supported him as they walked away. The bodyguards obediently made way for them. At the same time, in the ancestral hall¡­ In front of the spirit tablets of the Mo family¡¯s ancestors, Mo Shiting and Gu Li stared at each other, and the atmosphere was tense. ¡°Kneel down!¡± The man¡¯s deep voice was full of anger. Gu Li raised her head, looking indignant. ¡°No! I¡¯m not a member of the Mo family. Why should I obey your family rules?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not a member of the Mo family?¡± Mo Shiting laughed out of anger, ¡°Say that again!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Gu Li was tongue-tied. Actually, she did indeed hold the position of Young Madam Mo, so she was a member of the Mo family in name. But although his family has so many rules, no one told me about them. How would I know? Besides, he¡¯s making me kneel so quickly. Do I still have any human rights? Gu Li bit her lip, feeling a little aggrieved. She couldn¡¯t help but retort, ¡°Then tell me. What¡¯s the 101st Mo family rule?¡± Mo Shiting said emotionlessly, ¡°One is not allowed to work in the entertainment industry. What did you do today?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Gu Li was just about to explain when he interrupted her forcefully. ¡°You don¡¯t need to make excuses for yourself.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not making excuses, I¡¯m¡ª¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t kneel, then we¡¯ll get a divorce!¡± Divorce? No way! Now that her lifeline had been grabbed, Gu Li couldn¡¯t care less about whether she was innocent or not anymore. She knelt on the futon without saying anything. However, although she did as he said, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She couldn¡¯t hold back her tears for a moment, and they then trickled down her face. Chapter 20 - Wronged Her? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The girl¡¯s sparkling tears dripped onto the futon one by one. Seeing this, Mo Shiting felt an inexplicable sense of suffocation in his heart. He then just turned his face away. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to get up before dawn.¡± After saying this coldly, he didn¡¯t even look at her and strode away with a dark expression. As soon as the man left, the spacious ancestral hall instantly looked exceptionally deserted. Gu Li sniffed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. In the past, she had been punished by her master through kneeling before. But every time her master took a bit of his attention off her, she would always take the opportunity to slack off. However, this time, perhaps because she was really sad, she didn¡¯t even have the energy to slack off. Her back was straight as she knelt on the futon. From afar, she looked like a sculpture without any feeling. ¡­ After walking out of the ancestral hall, Mo Shiting became increasingly annoyed. At this moment, the lead bodyguard, Rong Hu, walked forward and reported to him respectfully, ¡°Young Master, Old Master came, but we didn¡¯t let him in.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Mo Shiting nodded. ¡°Did he say anything?¡± ¡°Um¡­¡± Rong Hu hesitated for a moment before choosing the main point to tell him. ¡°He said that if you continue to act like this, one day you¡¯ll lose your wife and end up staying single forever!¡± Hearing this, Mo Shiting¡¯s handsome face turned completely cold, ¡°Keep a close eye on her. If anything happens, I¡¯ll hold all of you responsible for it.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡­ Mo Shiting did not look for Old Master Mo. Instead, he directly returned to his house in the old residence. It was an individual villa, and it was a distance away from the main house where Old Master Mo lived. After taking a shower, the frustration in his heart still had yet to dissipate. A glint flashed across Mo Shiting¡¯s eyes. He decided to call Xia Xianghuai, who had already returned to M Nation, and ask him to inform the executives of the corporation¡¯s branch in M Nation to have an online meeting. By the time the meeting ended, it was already 1 a.m. It was raining heavily outside, and it made people feel uneasy. Mo Shiting picked up his phone on the table and saw that there was a missed call. It was a call from Song Yunque at around 11p.m. There was also an unread message. ¡°Fourth Brother, I¡¯m so angry! That Qiu Yuxin actually dared to bully Fourth Sister-in-Law! She¡¯s obviously not taking you seriously.¡± Mo Shiting furrowed his brows and called him back. The phone rang twice before it was picked up. ¡°Fourth Brother, did you see my message? I really didn¡¯t expect that the ¡®A Sweet Pear¡¯ that I like the most would actually be Fourth Sister-in-Law. We¡¯re really so fated.¡± ¡°What do you mean by ¡®a sweet pear¡¯?¡± Mo Shiting was dumbfounded. ¡°It¡¯s Fourth Sister-in-Law¡¯s ID on Station C, let me tell you¡­¡± Knowing that he wasn¡¯t one who kept up with the trends, Song Yunque immediately told him all about Gu Li¡¯s ¡®glorious achievements¡¯, including the time when she got scolded by her fans for not updating the finale of the comic and became a trending topic. After he finished speaking, Mo Shiting said, ¡°Get to the point.¡± ¡°Huh? Isn¡¯t this the main point?¡± Song Yun Que was a little dumbfounded. When he came back to his senses, he couldn¡¯t help but smack his forehead. ¡°Oh my, look at me. I was so angry that I forgot about the actual thing. This was what happened¡­ Fourth Sister-in-Law went onto the variety show ¡®The Charming Female Star¡¯ as a mentor, but half an hour before the recording, Qiu Yuxin replaced her with someone else. Ahhh! I¡¯m so angry! Why did I only get the news tonight? If I had known earlier, I definitely wouldn¡¯t have¡ª¡± ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Not having the patience to listen to his chatter, Mo Shiting hung up coldly and gripped his phone tightly. So she wasn¡¯t going to the beauty pageant, and instead, she was going to be a mentor on the show as a comic guru, and she didn¡¯t even participate in the recording in the end¡­ Boom! A loud clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky. Realizing a certain possibility, Mo Shiting stood up immediately and strode out of his room quickly. When he arrived at the ancestral hall in the heavy rain, Rong Hu, who was guarding the door, saw him and was slightly surprised.. ¡°Young Master?¡± Chapter 21 - I Dont Want to Forgive Him Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Mo Shiting held the umbrella and said coldly, ¡°Open the door.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Rong Hu immediately did as he was told. The other bodyguard stepped forward respectfully and took the umbrella from Mo Shiting¡¯s hand. As soon as the door to the ancestral hall opened, Mo Shiting rushed in, while the bodyguards stayed on the same spot. Seeing the rain gradually getting lighter, Ronghu couldn¡¯t help thinking seriously. Is Young Master¡¯s heart aching, or is it aching? ¡­ The lights in the spacious ancestral hall were on. As soon as Mo Shiting entered, he saw the girl kneeling in front of the incense burner table. She seemed to be immersed in her own world. Even though there were lightning and thunder outside, it didn¡¯t affect her at all. Is she not afraid of thunder? Right¡­ She¡¯s not Tangtang¡­ Mo Shiting¡¯s narrowed his eyes slightly as a trace of loneliness flashed across them. He walked over with one hand in his pocket and stood behind her. He looked down at her and said, ¡°Get up.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The girl ignored him. Knowing that she was angry with him, Mo Shiting¡¯s expression didn¡¯t look good. However, he still continued to say patiently, ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t punish you anymore. Hurry and get up.¡± ¡°¡­¡± She still didn¡¯t move. Seeing this, Mo Shiting could only call out her name, ¡°Gu Li!¡± After saying that, he reached out his hand to pat her shoulder. But who knew that just as his hand gently touched her, the girl¡¯s body suddenly tilted and fell straight onto the futon. Mo Shiting: ¡°¡­¡± Hah, she can actually fall asleep while kneeling? He wanted to shake her awake, but at this moment, another clap of thunder sounded. He immediately changed his mind and picked her up bridal style. Fortunately, the heavens were being nice. On the way back to his residence, the rain stopped and there was only some occasional lightning. After carrying her back into the house, Mo Shiting looked at his two-meter wide bed, then at the leather sofa not far away, and then at the person in his arms, who was in deep sleep. In the end, he decided to let her sleep on the sofa. ¡­ The next morning, Gu Li stretched and yawned as she opened her eyes. Seeing that she wasn¡¯t in the ancestral hall, she couldn¡¯t help being a little dumbfounded and subconsciously looked at her surroundings. Soon, her gaze was attracted to the man who was sleeping quietly on the large bed. So this is his room? Did he carry me here last night? At least he still has some conscience. However, these are two different matters. He punished me to kneel down without even distinguishing between right and wrong. I don¡¯t want to forgive him. Moreover, the bed is so big, yet he didn¡¯t give me any space to sleep on it. So now my back hurts, and my legs are numb. Gu Li complained as she supported her waist and stood up. She walked lightly to the bed and looked down at him. The man was in a deep sleep and was not woken up. Gu Li¡¯s eyes darted around, and she then decided to squat down. She supported her chin with both hands and admired his stunning visuals. This was the second time she had seen Mo Shiting sleep, and she couldn¡¯t help but think that he was much more pleasing to the eye when he was asleep than usual. Especially his long, curly, and thick eyelashes which were like small brushes. I really want to play with them. But if I wake him up¡­ Forget it, forget it. I can¡¯t lose big because of small things. It¡¯s more important to get down to business. As for what serious business it was, hehehe. Of course, it was to draw two turtles on his face and take photos of them so that she could use them to threaten him one day. The girl smiled happily and took out a lipstick from the small bag she carried with her. She was about to draw on his exquisite and handsome face, but before it even landed on his face, her slender wrist was grabbed by his large palm. ¡°Ah¡ª¡± Gu Li screamed in shock and was instantly pulled over, landing perfectly on him. Caught off guard, their eyes met. I¡¯m really dead meat this time! The girl wailed in agony in her heart. Mo Shiting glanced at the lipstick in her hand and frowned, ¡°What do you want to do to me?¡± Chapter 22 - Mo Shiting, Youre a Bad Person! Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°N-nothing.¡± Gu Li avoided his gaze and denied subconsciously. She exerted some force and tried to break free from his grip. However, Mo Shiting didn¡¯t intend to let this matter rest. He swiftly grabbed her lipstick, turned around, and flipped her to the side. At the same time, he grabbed a corner of the blanket and rolled her up like a wheel. ¡°Ahhh¡­¡± Gu Li didn¡¯t expect the man to suddenly do this, so all she could do was scream. When she regained her senses, she realized that she had already been tied up and rolled to the other side of the bed. The blanket was tied up with a knot, so even if she wanted to move, she couldn¡¯t. Her innocent deer-like eyes were the only things that were exposed in the air, making her look exceptionally comical. Seeing this, Mo Shiting kindly helped her pull the blanket down a little so that her entire face could be seen. Seeing that he was staring at her calmly while playing with her lipstick, the alarm in Gu Li¡¯s mind instantly rang. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Mo Shiting didn¡¯t answer her question. Without another word, he swiped the lipstick across her face. Gu Li finally knew what he wanted to do, and she cried out agitatedly¡ª ¡°Mo Shiting, you¡¯re a bad person! ¡°Don¡¯t mess around with me! ¡°You¡­ You can¡¯t bully me¡­¡± The girl dodged left and right, but she still couldn¡¯t hide away from it in the end, and she could only watch him do whatever he wanted to her face. Mo Shiting moved quickly and was done drawing two turtles on her face in no time. He drew one turtle on each side of her face. As he admired his ¡®masterpiece¡¯, he couldn¡¯t help smiling. Gu Li was literally about to explode in anger. ¡°Let me out!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the hurry?¡± He calmly capped the lipstick and picked up the phone on the bedside table. Gu Li looked wary. ¡°You¡ªDon¡¯t take a picture of me!¡± Click! Click! As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the sound of photos being taken consecutively. At this moment, she really wanted to beat him to death. ¡°Mo Shiting, you bastard! ¡°Big turtle! ¡°Scumbag! ¡°Bastard!¡± ¡­ Seeing the girl scolding him with all sorts of words, Mo Shiting raised his eyebrows. ¡°Since you¡¯re so energetic, why don¡¯t you go back and continue kneeling?¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Gu Li gritted her teeth. She was really angry, so she scolded him again, ¡°You¡¯re despicable, shameless and indecent!¡± Mo Shiting stood up and looked down at her. The man¡¯s gaze was unfathomable, and it made Gu Li feel a little flustered, as she was afraid that he would mention getting a divorce again once they disagreed on something. She shrank back her neck and was busy thinking of a way to deal with him when he directly turned around and strode out of the room. Gu Li: ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Hey, let me out! ¡°Hey¡ª¡± ¡­ Mo Shiting went to another room to wash up and left the house after changing into a suit. On his way to the parking lot, he happened to run into Old Master Mo who was rushing over. Upon seeing him, Old Master Mo shouted loudly, ¡°Mo Shiting, stop right there!¡± Mo Shiting turned around with one hand in his pocket, ¡°Grandfather, it seems you¡¯re recovering well.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t change the topic.¡± Old Master Mo walked to him as he spoke, picked up his walking stick, and swung it at him. ¡°Where¡¯s Little Pear? ¡°What did you do to my Little Pear? ¡°I¡¯ll beat you to death, you brat who only knows how to bully his wife!¡± Mo Shiting stood still and let Old Master Mo hit him as he wanted. Old Master Mo hit him a few times in a row until he got tired. He then put away his walking stick and panted. ¡°Where is she? Hand her over!¡± Mo Shiting pointed at the second floor of the villa with his chin and said coldly, ¡°On the bed.¡± ¡°On the bed?¡± Old Master Mo was slightly stunned. When he regained his senses, his eyes immediately lit up. Although there were many rooms in this villa, there were no guest rooms, so the only room with a bed was Mo Shiting¡¯s room. In other words, Little Pear slept on the same bed as him? With this brat¡¯s obsession with cleanliness, it¡¯s definitely impossible for him to let someone else lie on his bed. From the looks of it, Little Pear does still have some ability to subdue this insensitive man. Old Master Mo was overjoyed. Mo Shiting knew that he had misunderstood the situation, but he didn¡¯t explain. Instead, he said, ¡°Let her rest some more. I¡¯ll be going to the company now..¡± Chapter 23 - Doting on Gu Li Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Okay, go ahead then.¡± Thinking that his progress with Gu Li was very fast, Old Master Mo looked at him much more kindly. Mo Shiting nodded slightly. After taking two steps, he turned around and said, ¡°She didn¡¯t sleep enough last night. You should come look for her later.¡± ¡°Okay. Hurry up and go.¡± Old Master Mo waved his hand impatiently. Am I such a mean person? Little Pear can sleep as long as she likes. I won¡¯t disturb her. Hmph! ¡­ ¡°Is anyone there? ¡°Help¡ª ¡°Mo Shiting¡ª¡± She shouted until her throat was sore, but there was still no movement outside the room at all. Gu Li could only give up on asking for help and start to rely on herself. Of course, she had no idea that Old Master Mo, the only person who could save her, had just been tricked to leave by that scheming man. In order to untie the knot that bound her, she kept rolling around on the bed like a fat worm. Unfortunately, a certain someone had tied a dead knot, and both of her hands were under the blanket. So no matter how she struggled, it didn¡¯t work. In the end, she slowly got out of bed, put her feet together, and jumped towards the door. As she passed by the bathroom, she suddenly remembered that Mo Shiting had drawn something on her face. Thus she hurriedly jumped into the bathroom to look in the mirror. She wouldn¡¯t have known it if she didn¡¯t look in the mirror. But once she did, she broke down straight away. That darn Mo Shiting actually made me look so ugly. How am I supposed to face anyone? How would I still have the cheek to jump out in this state?! ¡­ When they returned to the main house, Old Master Mo immediately instructed Uncle Guan, ¡°Hurry and inform the kitchen to make some more dishes that Little Pear likes, as well as some tonics. She¡¯s too skinny, so she needs some nourishment.¡± ¡°Yes, Master.¡± Uncle Guan smiled. He was also there when Mo Shiting said those words just now. He didn¡¯t expect them to progress so quickly, and he was also sincerely happy for them. After Uncle Guan left, Old Master Mo called Aunt Liang over. He smiled as he said, ¡°Go get a few more sets of clothes for Little Pear. Bring them to her when she wakes up.¡± ¡°Yes, Master. I¡¯ll do it right away.¡± Aunt Liang left in a hurry. After taking care of Gu Li¡¯s clothes and food, Old Master Mo still felt that it wasn¡¯t enough. After thinking about it, he decided to call Song Yunque. Song Yunque was in a daze when his phone suddenly rang. He was full of anger from being woken up. ¡°Who is it? They¡¯re being so noisy so early in the morning!¡± He originally wanted to scold the person who called him fiercely, but when he picked up his phone and saw that it was Old Master Mo, his expression instantly changed. ¡°Good morning, Grandpa Mo! Why are you looking for me so early in the morning? Hehehe¡­¡± ¡°Look at how delirious you are. Did you just wake up? Young man, this isn¡¯t a good habit!¡± Mo Shaoyuan couldn¡¯t help lecturing him. Song Yunque felt aggrieved, but he could only smile apologetically and say, ¡°Okay.¡± Thankfully, Old Master Mo didn¡¯t reprimand him for long before getting to the main topic. ¡°Hurry and buy a car right now and drive it to the old residence for Little Pear.¡± Hearing that Old Master Mo wanted to buy a car to send Gu Li, Song Yunque was instantly spirited. ¡°Are you saying that Fourth Sister-in-Law is at the old residence?¡± ¡°Yes! Go do it quickly. Don¡¯t delay it.¡± ¡°Is there a budget?¡± Song Yunque jumped out of bed swiftly and asked. ¡°Why should there be any budget? If you like it, just buy it. There¡¯s no limit! Remember to put it on Mo Shiting¡¯s tab.¡± ¡°Okay, okay.¡± Song Yunque hurriedly nodded. After hanging up, he hummed a song as he walked into the bathroom. I¡¯m so nervous! I¡¯m going to see ¡®A Sweet Pear¡¯ in person for the first time! I have to look more handsome! ¡­ ¡°Is there anyone here that can save me? ¡°I¡¯m so hungry¡­¡± Gu Li collapsed on the sofa and called out weakly. She hadn¡¯t eaten anything since noon yesterday, so it has been nearly 24 hours since she last ate and she was about to starve to death. Mo Shiting, you bastard.. When I¡¯m free, I definitely won¡¯t let you off¡­ Chapter 24 - Subduing Mo Shiting So Quickly? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Knock, knock! ¡®¡±Young Madam?¡± ¡°Young Madam, it¡¯s me, Aunt Liang. Are you awake?¡± At half past ten, Aunt Liang knocked on the door. At this moment, Gu Li had already been sitting down for a full two hours. Upon hearing Aunt Liang¡¯s voice, she was so excited that it was as if she saw her family. ¡°Aunt Liang, save me¡­¡± ¡­ At the Mo Corporation¡­ In the President¡¯s office, Mo Shiting was sitting in front of a large office desk and listening to Lu Yang report his work when his phone, which was on the table, suddenly got a notification. Mo Shiting took a look and saw that it was a message from a flagship store of a famous automobile brand. ¡°Hello, esteemed Young Master Mo! Young Master Song Yunque bought a limited edition Ferrari sports car in our store under your name at 10.20 a.m. today. The price of the car is 18 million yuan. This purchase will be recorded on your black card with the last four-digits, 8818¡­¡± Upon seeing this message, Mo Shiting was dumbfounded. After looking at it one more time, he was then finally sure that his eyes weren¡¯t playing tricks on him. Song Yunque really spent 18 million yuan of my money¡­ Is this fellow tired of living?! With a dark expression, Mo Shiting called Song Yunque. At the same time, Song Yunque was driving the new car towards the old Mo residence in high spirits. Seeing that it was Mo Shiting¡¯s call, he happily answered the call. ¡°Hello, Fourth Brother. Did you receive the news from the flagship store? I just bought a new car for Fourth Sister-in-Law and I¡¯m about to drive it to the old residence to give it to her.¡± After hearing his explanation, Mo Shiting¡¯s furrowed brows finally relaxed a little. ¡°My Grandpa asked you to buy it?¡± ¡°Yeah, he said to hang it on your tab.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Shiting hung up the phone straight away. He raised his head and looked at Luyang, who was preparing to continue reporting his work. ¡°Prepare the car. I¡¯ll be returning to the old residence.¡± Despite being confused, Lu Yang replied, ¡°Understood.¡± ¡­ On the other side, Gu Li was extremely glad that the person who saved her from the blanket was Aunt Liang, whom she was very familiar with. She wasn¡¯t afraid of losing face in front of Aunt Liang. But when she saw the two turtles drawn on her face, which made her look especially comical, Aunt Liang still couldn¡¯t help laughing out loud. Gu Li covered her face and said coquettishly, ¡°Auntie Liang, I¡¯m about to die from anger, yet you¡¯re still laughing at me?¡± ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t laugh at you anymore. No matter what you look like, you¡¯re always the most beautiful person in my heart.¡± Aunt Liang looked at her with loving eyes. Hearing Aunt Liang praise her beauty, Gu Li harrumphed a little arrogantly. ¡°Mo Shiting¡¯s the only one that¡¯s blind. He can¡¯t even see my beauty. Hmph.¡± ¡°Hah¡­¡± Aunt Liang was amused and passed her two large bags of clothes. ¡°These are the clothes for you to change into. Young Madam, you should go wash up first. After that, you should head to the main house to have lunch with Old Master.¡± ¡°Okay. Thank you, Aunt Liang.¡± Gu Li said as she took the bag over. Fifteen minutes later, she felt refreshed and went to the main house along with Aunt Liang. Mo Shaoyuan was drinking tea when he saw Gu Li appear, and he immediately waved at her. ¡°Little Pear, come and sit.¡± ¡°Grandpa¡ª¡± Gu Li beamed and walked over to take a seat obediently. Old Master Mo didn¡¯t know what exactly had happened last night, so he thought that she and Mo Shiting were really making rapid progress. He couldn¡¯t help teasing, ¡°Little Pear, you managed to subdue that brat Mo Shiting so quickly? I¡¯m really proud of you!¡± At the mention of Mo Shiting, Gu Li was so angry that she gritted her teeth. But she didn¡¯t want to rat on him in front of Old Master Mo, so she smiled and said, ¡°Grandpa, the revolution hasn¡¯t succeeded yet. I still have to work even harder.¡± ¡°Haha¡ª¡± Old Master Fu laughed heartily. ¡°I¡¯ll support you!¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡± Gu Li smiled at him and asked, ¡°But there¡¯s something I don¡¯t quite understand. The 101st Mo family rule states that the Mo family members aren¡¯t allowed to do any work related to the entertainment industry.. Why is that?¡± Chapter 25 - Mo Shiting Bought Me a Car? Are You Sure Its Not a Bicycle? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Immediately after Gu Li finished speaking, Old Master Mo¡¯s smile froze. Realizing that she might have mentioned something she shouldn¡¯t have, Gu Li hurriedly said, ¡°Sorry, Grandpa. I was just curious. If I can¡¯t ask about this, I won¡¯t ask anymore.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Old Master Mo said softly and patted his knee with his large hands. Just as he was about to speak, Song Yunque¡¯s cheerful voice rang out. ¡°Grandpa Mo¡ª ¡°Grandpa Mo, I¡¯m here!¡± Song Yunque shouted as he strode in. He came in a hurry, and his arrival dissipated a lot of the oppressive atmosphere in the hall. ¡°You¡¯re here, Yunque.¡± Upon seeing him, Mo Shaoyuan smiled kindly and didn¡¯t continue on with the topic. Naturally, Gu Li couldn¡¯t ask any further about it either. She subconsciously looked at Song Yunque and saw that the man was in his early twenties. His skin was fair, and his facial features were almost perfect. He definitely looks like someone who came out from a comic. But why does he look a little familiar? I seem to have seen him somewhere before? Gu Li¡¯s eyes flashed as she tried her best to recall. But before she could think of anyone, Song Yunque excitedly walked up to her, grabbed her wrist and shook it violently. Gu Li: ¡°???¡± What¡¯s going on with him? Mo Shaoyuan was obviously shocked by Song Yunque¡¯s actions as well. When he came back to his senses, he was about to reprimand him when he heard him talk loudly the next second. ¡°Wow, Lord Pear! I finally get to see you in person!¡± Lord Pear? Is he addressing me? Gu Li hurriedly stood up and retracted her hand. ¡°I¡¯m sure you¡¯ve got the wrong person, right?¡± ¡°No, I didn¡¯t. Lord Pear, no, Fourth Sister-in-Law, please give me your autograph. My name is Song Yunque, and I called you through the phone before.¡± As Song Yunque spoke, he tugged at the hem of his white t-shirt, took out a pen out of nowhere and handed it to Gu Li. Gu Li wanted to facepalm herself. ¡°You must¡¯ve gotten the wrong person. I¡¯m not a celebrity.¡± Song Yunque smiled and said, ¡°I know. You¡¯re ¡®A Sweet Pear¡¯. Lord Pear, I¡¯m your loyal fan. The number one user on the tip list, ¡®I Don¡¯t Lack Anything¡¯, is me.¡± ¡°Oh? That¡¯s you?¡± Gu Li was extremely surprised. ¡°Yup, it¡¯s me.¡± Song Yunque hurriedly nodded. His handsome face was full of vigor, and his happy expression made him look like a full-fledged fan. ¡°Quick, Lord Pear, hurry and sign it for me. I want a personal autograph.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll sign it.¡± ¡°Yup!¡± It was difficult for her to reject his enthusiasm, so Gu Li could only take the pen from his hand and sign her autograph on his shirt. She also didn¡¯t forget to draw a heart after signing her autograph. Seeing this, Song Yunque was so delighted that he was grinning from ear to ear. I¡¯m definitely not going to wash this shirt anymore and I¡¯ll hang it up for collection when I go home! Standing at the side, Mo Shaoyuan saw that the two of them were chatting amicably. The both of them were charming people, and they were also about the same age, so they looked exceptionally compatible with each other. He suddenly felt a little worried. After all, if he was a girl, he would also like someone like Song Yunque who was an interesting and fun boy, and not someone like Mo Shiting who was as cold as an iceberg. The more he thought, the more he felt that Mo Shiting had no chance of winning. This can¡¯t do, I can¡¯t let the two of them continue chatting. At the thought of this, his eyes darted around before he said loudly, ¡°Yunque, where¡¯s the sports car?¡± ¡°Oh, right!¡± Song Yunque finally remembered what he was supposed to do. He took out a set of car keys and handed them to Gu Li as if he was presenting a treasure to her. ¡°Fourth Sister-in-Law, Fourth Brother bought you a limited edition Ferrari sports car. This is the car key. Do you want to go take a look at it?¡± Seeing that he was good at helping to boost their relationship, Mo Shaoyuan¡¯s tense face finally relaxed slightly. I was probably just worrying too much! It¡¯s all that brat¡¯s fault. His wife is so good. What if she runs away if he doesn¡¯t watch her closely? As for Gu Li, when she heard that Mo Shiting had bought her a car, she was extremely flattered.. She asked in disbelief, ¡°Mo Shiting bought me a car? Are you sure you¡¯re not lying to me? A sports car and not a bicycle? Are you telling the truth?¡± Chapter 26 - Another Man Is Treating Her Well Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Of course it¡¯s a sports car. My Fourth Brother is so rich. How could he buy you a bicycle?¡± Song Yunque almost burst out laughing. But Gu Li calmed down. ¡°I can¡¯t accept a gift without doing anything.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Song Yunque didn¡¯t expect her to reject him and subconsciously looked at Old Master Mo. Old Master Fu stroked his grayish-white beard and said with a smile, ¡°Little Pear, that¡¯s great. If you don¡¯t want to accept it, then so be it. I¡¯ll get Yunque to get a refund for it later.¡± Song Yunque¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Huh?!¡± Was I just here to be a tool today? Doesn¡¯t Grandpa Mo have any stand on this? As he secretly complained in his heart, a magnetic male voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Just put it in the garage. There¡¯s no need to get a refund for it.¡± Song Yunque suddenly turned around and saw Mo Shiting, who was dressed in a black suit, walking in stylishly. ¡°Fourth Brother!¡± Gu Li looked in the direction of the voice as well, and her gaze happened to meet with Mo Shiting¡¯s. She glared at him angrily before turning her face away and ignoring him. ¡°Grandpa.¡± Mo Shiting strode over and bowed to greet Old Master Mo. After that, his gaze landed on Song Yunque¡¯s signed white t-shirt. He couldn¡¯t help but raise his eyebrows as his gaze deepened. Afraid that he would snatch his clothes away, Song Yunque hurriedly crossed his arms and changed the topic. ¡°Fourth Brother, weren¡¯t you very busy today? Why did you suddenly come back?¡± Mo Shiting looked at him coldly and slowly said, ¡°I just lost 18 million yuan, so I had to come back and take a look.¡± Other than Gu Li, the other two understood what he was referring to, and the both of them stayed silent. On the other hand, Gu Li¡¯s stomach started growling out of the blue, attracting their attention. ¡°Uhh¡­¡± Gu Li felt very embarrassed and laughed dryly. Old Master Mo said, ¡°It¡¯s getting late. Let¡¯s go eat.¡± With that, he pulled Song Yunque, who was standing by the side, away. Gu Li strode forward and was about to follow them when Mo Shiting stood in front of her and blocked her path. ¡°Excuse me.¡± She looked up at him and said in an unfriendly tone. Mo Shiting didn¡¯t budge. Gu Li could only reach out her hand to push him away as she complained, ¡°Because of you, I didn¡¯t get to eat dinner last night and I¡¯ve been starving for exactly 24 hours. Are you trying to starve me to death?¡± She didn¡¯t eat dinner yesterday? Mo Shiting¡¯s eyes flashed with surprise. However, he didn¡¯t apologize or show any signs of concern for her, and he turned around and left without saying another word. Looking at his tall and cold back, Gu Li couldn¡¯t help but to scold him in a small voice. ¡°You heartless fellow. I hope that in the future, you¡¯ll marry a girl who will wreck your heart thousands of times, yet you¡¯ll still treat her like your first love. Hmph!¡± Mo Shiting¡¯s hearing was very good, thus he heard all of her ¡®wishes¡¯ and his eyes darkened. The four of them sat around the long dining table. Old Master Mo sat at the head of the table and Mo Shiting and Gu Li sat on one side, while Song Yunque sat across them. After the servants had served the dishes, Song Yunque started to put food on Gu Li¡¯s plate. ¡°Fourth Sister-in-Law, this steamed chicken is delicious. Here¡¯s a drumstick. ¡°Fourth Sister-in-Law, this pork rib is also really delicious. Try it. ¡°Fourth Sister-in-Law, do you want some fish? I¡¯ll help you get some.¡± ¡­ ¡°Thank you, but I already have enough food on my plate.¡± Although Gu Li was hungry and could usually eat a lot, she was still a little overwhelmed by his enthusiasm. ¡°It¡¯s alright. You¡¯re so lean. You have to eat more.¡± After saying that, he picked up another piece of fish for her. Gu Li couldn¡¯t decline, so she just lowered her head and ate. Old Master Mo remained silent throughout and quietly observed Mo Shiting¡¯s reaction. However, Mo Shiting was still eating slowly and he looked completely unaffected. Is this lad still a man? How can he still be so calm when he sees another man treating his wife so well? He¡¯s so worrying! Old Master Mo sighed helplessly and realized that the food in his bowl no longer tasted good. At this moment, Gu Li suddenly cried out in pain.. Chapter 27 - Mo Shiting Cares A Lot About His Little Wife Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°What happened?¡± Old Master Mo and Song Yunque asked simultaneously. Mo Shiting had also turned his head around to look at her straight away. Gu Li said awkwardly, ¡°A fish bone¡­ got stuck in my throat.¡± She felt embarrassed to get a fish bone stuck in her throat in front of so many people while she ate. However, it was pretty stuck. So she could only care about the pain and she couldn¡¯t care much about her face anymore. ¡°Open your mouth. I¡¯ll take a look.¡± Mo Shiting ordered. Although his tone was cold, there was a hint of concern in it. Gu Li¡¯s heart skipped a beat as she opened her mouth cooperatively. Sigh, this is even more embarrassing now. Mo Shiting took a look and frowned slightly, ¡°We have to go to the hospital.¡± With that, he got up to hug her. Gu Li was shocked. She was about to reject him when Old Master Mo said, ¡°Hurry up and go there.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Mo Shiting nodded slightly and strode out with her in his arms. Seeing this, Gu Li tactfully chose to not reject him. It was really painful and uncomfortable, so she didn¡¯t say anything. On the way to the parking lot, she nestled in his embrace and as she listened to the man¡¯s steady and strong heartbeat, her eyes flickered subconsciously. Is his conscience the reason why he¡¯s suddenly treating me so well? While she was in a daze, Mo Shiting had already walked to the car and stuffed her into the front passenger seat. ¡°Fasten your seatbelt.¡± After saying this, he closed the car door coolly and got into the car on the other side. On the way to the hospital, the two of them didn¡¯t talk at all because it was inconvenient for Gu Li to speak. Forty minutes later, the car arrived at a high-end private hospital. As soon as Lu Cong left the operating theater, he received a call from Mo Shiting. ¡°Are you done with the surgery? I¡¯m in your office now.¡± ¡°Why are you suddenly here?¡± Lu Cong was a little surprised. ¡°I brought a patient with me. Hurry up.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Lu Cong hung up the phone, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel curious. What kind of patient would require Mo Shiting to personally escort here? At the thought of this, he subconsciously quickened his pace. He hurried back to his office and once he opened the door, he saw Mo Shiting sitting elegantly on the sofa with his legs crossed. On the small stool beside him sat a young and beautiful girl. If I¡¯m not wrong, she should be Gu Li. Seems like Mo Shiting cares a lot about his little wife, doesn¡¯t he? But how exactly is she sick? While Lu Cong was sizing Gu Li up, Gu Li happened to look in his direction as well. After recognizing that he was Mo Shiting¡¯s good friend, and also a renowned medical specialist, she stood up and greeted politely, ¡°Hello, Doctor Lu.¡± Seeing her pained expression while talking, Lu Cong went straight to the point. ¡°What happened to your throat?¡± ¡°A fish bone got stuck in there.¡± Mo Shiting answered in Gu Li¡¯s stead. ¡°A fish bone got stuck in her throat?¡± Lu Cong couldn¡¯t believe what he had just heard. ¡°For such a simple matter, wouldn¡¯t it be enough to find just any doctor to take it out? Was there a need for you to look for me?¡± Mo Shiting asked calmly, ¡°Aren¡¯t you a doctor?¡± Lu Cong: ¡°¡­¡± Gu Li blushed with shame. She endured the pain and said, ¡°Sorry for causing you trouble.¡± Lu Cong turned around and smiled at her. ¡°It¡¯s alright. Sit right over there. I¡¯ll help you to take out the fish bone right away.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Gu Li cooperated obediently. ¡°Luckily, it¡¯s not particularly serious. However, if a large fish bone like this one goes a little lower, you¡¯ll have to do a surgery to take it out. You¡¯re pretty lucky.¡± Lu Cong comforted her while treating her wound. Gu Li was on the brink of tears. That wasn¡¯t comforting at all. I was just eating a fish. How did I almost have to go for an operation¡­ A few minutes later, the fish bone was finally taken out. Gu Li instantly felt much more relaxed. ¡°Doctor Lu, thank you so much. It¡¯s all thanks to you. Otherwise, I would be in big trouble.¡± ¡°You¡¯re welcome.¡± Lu Cong put away his tools and couldn¡¯t help but to remind her, ¡°Pay attention to your diet for the next two days and avoid spicy food.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Gu Li smiled sweetly. Seeing the two of them chatting on their own and treating him like air, Mo Shiting impatiently urged, ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Chapter 28 - He Said He Would Protect Me When He Grows Up Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After speaking, Mo Shiting pushed open the door and left before Gu Li could even react. Seeing this, Gu Li could only hurriedly bid farewell to Lu Cong and chase after him. ¡°Mo Shiting, wait for me.¡± Gu Li chased after him with her short legs all the way and finally managed to run into the elevator before the elevator door closed. They were the only ones in the elevator. Seeing Mo Shiting¡¯s dark expression and not even looking at her once, Gu Li¡¯s eyes darted around before she suddenly grabbed his hand. Mo Shiting was slightly stunned. He finally turned his head around and saw her smiling brightly at him. ¡°Thank you for sending me to the hospital. Big Brother Ting, I¡¯m really flattered that you care so much about me.¡± As the girl spoke, she hooked his pinky and her soft voice entered his ear. The words ¡°Big Brother Ting¡± were even sweeter than honey. Mo Shiting looked at her, and he was actually unable to look away immediately, and neither did he pull her little claw away from his hand. ¡°Big Brother Ting?¡± Gu Li called him sweetly again and deliberately rubbed the back of his hand with her fingertips. Seeing that he wasn¡¯t rejecting her, her petite body slowly approached him and finally stood in front of him, facing him. ¡°Big Brother Ting, say, how should I repay you?¡± Hmph, the beauty trap is indeed working. I¡¯m going to teach you a lesson! The girl raised her head, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were shining brightly. Mo Shiting¡¯s gaze darkened, and he didn¡¯t ignore the sly glint that flashed across her eyes. What devious idea is she up to again? Does she want to take revenge on me for what happened last night and this morning? Indeed, just as she finished speaking, she raised her right leg and kicked in the direction of his calf. Mo Shiting dodged her attack, grabbed her shoulders, and slammed her against the elevator wall. Gu Li was dumbfounded as she didn¡¯t expect him to react so quickly. A second later, she finally realized that this person had long seen through her intentions and had been quietly watching her perform. How could he be like that¡­ Gu Li glared at him angrily. ¡°You tricked me!¡± With that, she clenched her fist and went straight for his shoulders. Mo Shiting accurately held her fist and didn¡¯t let her budge. So instead, Gu Li bent her knees to kick him. Her movements were quick and ruthless, and she had almost hurt the most vulnerable part of his body. Fortunately, he dodged away in time. This girl literally wants my life! After trapping her in a corner of the elevator, Mo Shiting pinched her chin with his large hand, and his handsome face darkened. ¡°Gu Li, there¡¯s a limit to my tolerance for you. If there¡¯s a next time, I won¡¯t let you off easily!¡± ¡°But¡­ you tricked me.¡± She was embarrassed as she talked, and when she then realized that she had almost kicked him in the crotch, she couldn¡¯t help but feel a little guilty. ¡°Trick you? Who was the one who did that first?¡± Being tricked into marriage was a humiliation to him, so it wasn¡¯t that easy for him to get over it. Every time he thought of this, it was hard for the anger in Mo Shiting¡¯s mind to subside, and his mania would flare up intermittently. Gu Li frowned when she felt the pain from his pinch. ¡°Although it was wrong of me to trick you into getting you married in the past, at the very least, I had also indirectly helped you. Can¡¯t we call it even?¡± ¡°Call it even? Dream on!¡± ¡°Then how long are you going to hold this grudge? Tell me, how else are you going to bully me¡­¡± Tears welled up in Gu Li¡¯s eyes. All these years, no matter how difficult it was, she had always maintained an optimistic attitude and had never shed a single tear. She had never expected that in just a few days, she would actually cry from anger twice because of him. Bad person! When I was young, he even said that he would protect me when he grows up. But in the end, he still completely forgot about me. This heartless man! Who exactly was the reason I had to trick him to get married? If I had known earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have done it! Who cares if he¡¯s dead or alive! Boohoo¡­ The more the girl thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her tears fell even more ferociously, dripping onto his hand and secretly seeping into his heart.. Chapter 29 - He Ran Away Right After Kissing Me? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Mo Shiting totally didn¡¯t expect her to cry just like that. After being slightly stunned for two seconds, he realized that he had indeed used too much strength on her. He hurriedly let go and comforted her patiently. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. You¡¯re already ugly, and yet you¡¯re still crying?¡± He didn¡¯t know how to comfort people to begin with, so his words were instead, more like a threat to her, which made Gu Li feel even more aggrieved. Seeing her tears fall even more than before, and her eyes turning red, Mo Shiting couldn¡¯t help but hold her face with both of his hands. Gu Li sniffed her nose and subconsciously looked up at him, realizing that there was actually a hint of gentleness in his deep eyes. Am I seeing things? Or¡­ Her mind went blank for a split second. Before she could even sort her thoughts out, he lowered his head and kissed her. He¡­ He actually kissed me?! The girl¡¯s eyes widened, and her curly long eyelashes kept moving as she blinked. Her heart was palpitating, and the thumping sounds of her heartbeat were exceptionally loud in the elevator. She didn¡¯t know how to respond and she had also forgotten to push him away. It was only when the elevator stopped did all the ambiguity between them get interrupted. Mo Shiting didn¡¯t expect that he would kiss her on impulse even though he wasn¡¯t even drunk today. He took his hands off her and took two steps back in disbelief. ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Perhaps it was because he couldn¡¯t accept the fact that he had done such a ridiculous thing, he left without even looking back when the elevator door opened. Gu Li was soon left all alone in the narrow space. Her face was burning hot, and she held her own face tightly for a period of time before slowly putting them down. We actually¡­ Thank goodness this is a private elevator and no one¡¯s coming here at this time. Otherwise, if someone else sees me, I¡¯d be really embarrassed. But, Big Brother Ting actually kissed me? Does he like me too? Gu Li touched her lips, which still had his breath on them, and smiled foolishly. She had a sweet feeling in her heart. At this moment, all the grievances that she has had recently seemed as though they had become not as important as they used to be. Big Brother Ting¡­ Although I can¡¯t tell him my true identity, as long as he likes me, I¡¯m confident that this marriage will last for a year. As for a year later¡­ Gu Li¡¯s eyes flickered. We¡¯ll talk about the future later. It¡¯s good enough to just live in the present. ¡­ After calming herself down, Gu Li walked out of the elevator. The level they had stopped at was where the underground parking lot was. She searched according to her memory and found the spot where Mo Shiting had parked the car just now. However, it was empty. The car was gone. And he was gone too. Mo Shiting actually abandoned me and ran away?! Gu Li looked around in the parking lot in disbelief. Her heart turned cold, and she couldn¡¯t help but curse out loud in the parking lot, ¡°Mo Shiting, you f*cking bastard! ¡°If you dare appear in front of me again, I¡¯ll stab you to death with a needle! ¡°Mo Shiting¡ª ¡°You bastard!!!¡± He really angers me to death! How could he do such a thing?! Scumbag! ¡­ When Da Ha found Gu Li, she was sitting on a long stone bench near the Lu Group Hospital, and she was staring at the blue sky in a daze. ¡°Boss, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Da Ha hurriedly parked the car by the side of the road and sat beside her. Gu Li glanced at him resentfully and pouted, ¡°Da Ha, Mo Shiting bullied me.¡± ¡°What? Did that bastard hit you? I¡¯ll settle the score with him.¡± After saying this, Da Ha stood up immediately. Gu Li pulled him back and said seriously, ¡°He kissed me.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Da Ha was stunned for a moment before smiling exceptionally wretchedly. Ooh~ My boss finally lost her first kiss!¡± ¡°Go to hell!¡± Gu Li kicked him angrily. Da Ha finally stopped smiling and asked her caringly. ¡°Then why do you still look so unhappy? Haven¡¯t you always liked him the most?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t like him anymore!¡± Gu Li gritted her teeth and said angrily, ¡°Who would like someone who abandons you without saying anything after kissing you? Mo Shiting, that bastard. Watch how I¡¯ll deal with him when I go back!¡± Just as she finished speaking, a call came in. She picked up her phone and when she saw that it was Director Yang, the director of ¡®The Charming Female Star¡¯, she couldn¡¯t help feeling a little surprised.. Chapter 30 - Invested Specially For You Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Hello, Director Yang. May I know why you¡¯re looking for me?¡± Gu Li¡¯s EQ was still relatively high. Even though the production team didn¡¯t want her, she was still able to maintain a polite smile towards the director. ¡°Miss Gu, I¡¯m really sorry about yesterday. You know how high Qiu Yuxin¡¯s status is in the entertainment circle. She insisted on messing with you, so our production team couldn¡¯t do anything about it.¡± Director Yang explained to her again in an apologetic tone. Gu Li said casually, ¡°Director Yang, you guys have also compensated me for the breach of contract. So let¡¯s just let bygones be bygones.¡± Actually, it wasn¡¯t that she didn¡¯t bear grudges, but it was just that she didn¡¯t want to waste her time on such a small matter. ¡°Miss Gu, are you still willing to come back to the show?¡± Director Yang¡¯s voice pulled Gu Li¡¯s wandering thoughts back to the conversation. Gu Li was surprised. ¡°You want me to go back? Didn¡¯t you say¡­¡± ¡°Previously, we couldn¡¯t do anything about Qiu Yuxin. But the new investors of the show likes you a lot, so¡­ Qiu Yuxin has compromised.¡± ¡°The investor likes me? Which investor?¡± Gu Li was even more surprised. Could that person be Mo Shiting? No way, it can be anyone but him. After all, the Mo family rules state clearly that one isn¡¯t allowed to work in the entertainment industry . ¡°GT Group. Some of their executives are fans of your comic, so they specially invested in the show for you this time.¡± Director Yang smiled. Gu Li: ¡°¡­¡± The GT Group had only been established five years ago, but it had already become a leader in the technology industry, and it was a company that countless information technology geniuses dreamed of entering. Why would such a company invest in a variety show that has nothing to do with technology because of a small comic author like me? It¡¯s a little unbelievable. ¡°Miss Gu¡ª¡± Seeing that she wasn¡¯t speaking, Director Yang said, ¡°In order to express our sincerity, we¡¯ll increase your pay to 500,000 yuan, so it¡¯ll be five times higher than before. If you¡¯re willing to come back to the programme, we¡¯ll officially start the recording tomorrow. What do you say?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Gu Li pursed her lips and was hesitating in her mind. On one hand, this was indeed a good platform for her to show her face. As long as she gets popular from participating in the show, she would definitely have a chance to find her master. But on the other hand¡­ Thinking back on the Mo family rules, she sighed subconsciously. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡­¡± Before she could reject him, Director Yang interrupted her. ¡°You should think about it. I still have something to do, so I can¡¯t talk to you for now. I¡¯ll wait for your response.¡± With that, without even waiting for her response, he quickly hung up the phone. Gu Li: ¡°???¡± ¡°Boss, what do you think? Will you agree to go?¡± Big Ha cared about this even more than Gu Li. Gu Li glanced at him. At this moment, another call came in. This time, it was Old Master Mo. He specially called to ask if she had successfully removed the fishbone from her throat. Faced with Old Master¡¯s undisguised concern, a trace of warmth flashed across Gu Li¡¯s heart. The two of them chatted for a while before Gu Li suddenly thought of the Mo family rules and she couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Grandpa, if I really violate the 101st Mo family rule one day, what will the consequences be?¡± ¡°It¡¯ll depend on how Mo Shiting handles it.¡± ¡°Huh? Depends on how he handles it? Then, would it even be alright if he doesn¡¯t punish me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Huh? But those are the family rules that the Mo family has been following for hundreds of years. Why can Mo Shiting decide to or to not punish someone alone? If he really has so much power, why did he have to get married or turn 30 years old before he could inherit the position of the family head?¡± Gu Li was confused. ¡°This¡­ You should go and ask that brat yourself.¡± Old Master Mo didn¡¯t answer her directly. ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing that Old Master Mo was unwilling to talk more about it, Gu Li didn¡¯t dig deeper into this topic either. However, since Mo Shiting was the one punishing her for breaking the family rules, she had nothing to be afraid of. At the thought of this, Gu Li immediately decided to participate in ¡®The Charming Female Star¡¯.. Chapter 31 - Youre Allowed to Bully Me, But Im Not Allowed to Fight Back? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At the Mo Corporation¡­ Lu Yang knocked on the door of the President¡¯s office and saw Mo Shiting standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking outside. He walked over and reported respectfully, ¡°Young Master, the matter is settled. The TV station replied that Young Madam has agreed to participate in the recording.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Mo Shiting responded calmly. His eyes were deep and unreadable. Lu Yang couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Young Master, if Young Madam enters the entertainment industry, wouldn¡¯t she be violating the family rules? Why did you personally send her into the programme and even use GT? If the elders find out that you privately founded the GT Group and are involved in the entertainment industry, I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± Mo Shiting asked casually, ¡°Who told you there¡¯s such a family rule?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Lu Yang was even more puzzled. ¡°Since there isn¡¯t such a family rule, why did you punish Young Madam last night?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that his young master¡¯s handsome face darkened. He shuddered and hurriedly said, ¡°I suddenly remember that I still have something to do. I¡¯ll take my leave first.¡± After speaking, he ran away faster than a rabbit as if he was afraid that Mo Shiting would punish him. What the f*ck, that¡¯s such a shocking secret. If Young Madam finds out the truth, won¡¯t it take him great means to coax her? Mo Shiting turned around and walked back to his desk to sit down. He then picked up his phone, which was on the table. There were no missed calls, but there were many messages from a certain someone. When he opened the messages, he saw that she was scolding him in every single one of them. She¡¯s an eloquent one. The man¡¯s lips curled up, and his narrowed eyes were gradually filled with a slight smile. However, when his gaze landed on the message the girl had sent him a minute ago¡ª ¡°Mo Shiting, do you even know how to kiss? You¡¯re the worst kisser I¡¯ve ever met. Did you run away because you knew that your kissing skills were bad and that you were too ashamed to face anyone? Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t look down on you!¡± F*ck! Mo Shiting gritted his teeth. In an instant, he felt a wave of anger surging up his body, and it was ready to erupt at any moment. His face darkened as he made a call. But Gu Li didn¡¯t answer her phone. Not only did she hang up on him, but she had also blacklisted his number. Hmph, you¡¯re allowed to bully me, but I¡¯m not allowed to fight back? I, Gu Li, am not some submissive little wife. ¡­ That night, Gu Li returned to her own house. Afraid that Mo Shiting would come and settle the score with her, she deliberately closed her windows and added an extra lock to the door. In her email inbox laid the information the production team had sent her for tomorrow¡¯s recording. Gu Li read through it carefully and was a little surprised. She didn¡¯t expect the GT Group to have such a big say in the programme, and they had even made many changes to the rules of the competition. The mentor-mentee system had been canceled. Thus, she had changed from being a mentor who was supposed to lead a team to participate in the competition to a guest who only had to sit at the judges¡¯ table to give her comments. Not bad. I like this job. With such a good opportunity, I¡¯ll definitely use my professional skills to evaluate those female celebrities objectively, especially that so-called A-list celebrity, Qiu Yuxin. Haha, this feels so good! Gu Li was delighted and couldn¡¯t help humming a song. She took a look at her phone, and it was already 11 o¡¯clock. At this time, Mo Shiting should have already fallen asleep long ago. He can¡¯t possibly run over here to find me, right? Recalling the short kiss they had during the day, the girl couldn¡¯t help touching her lips, and her face started burning again. Realizing that she was reminiscing about the kiss once again, she immediately shook her head and slapped her face hard with both of her hands. She then just took a set of clothes to change into and entered the bathroom. After taking a shower, she wiped her hair as she walked out of the bathroom. She walked around the living room and was about to return to her room when she was shocked by the tall figure sitting on the sofa. ¡°M-Mo¡ªHow did you get in?¡± Upon seeing him, Gu Li covered her chest instinctively. Her eyes widened as she took two steps back. At this moment, Mo Shiting stood up and slowly walked towards her.. Chapter 32 - Couldnt Bear to Let Go For A Moment Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Li kept retreating as he pressed closer to her. The wall was behind her, so she couldn¡¯t retreat any further. She could only use the towel she used to dry her hair to cover her chest as she looked up and glared at him. ¡°What¡­ do you want?¡± Perhaps it was because she was too nervous, but her voice was slightly trembling. As soon as it entered Mo Shiting¡¯s ears, it had an inexplicable seductive feel to it. Mo Shiting pressed her against the wall and looked down at her. His gaze subconsciously landed on her pink lips. The scene of him kissing her in the elevator in the afternoon inadvertently surfaced in his mind, and his eyes darkened slightly. He originally thought that he was possessed at the time, but he didn¡¯t expect himslef to have the same thoughts at this moment. Did this girl cast a spell on me? Why do I always have impure thoughts whenever I see her? Or am I eventually just like other men¡­ Mo Shiting narrowed his eyes, and was deep in thought. Gu Li saw that he was staring at her unblinkingly, and his expression was terrifyingly unfathomable, so she couldn¡¯t help feeling a little alarmed. What exactly does he want? I was just angry for a moment, so I deliberately said that he has poor kissing skills. He wouldn¡¯t bear a grudge to the extent of wanting to kill me to vent his anger, would he? At the thought of this, Gu Li shifted her body and forced a smile. ¡°Young Master Ting, it¡¯s already so late. Why are you here at my house? Do you want to drink some water? Let go of me, and I¡¯ll go pour some for you.¡± The girl said while shaking her wet hair. The water droplets on the ends of her hair splashed onto Mo Shiting¡¯s face as she moved, and a drip of water even flew into his eyes. Mo Shiting blinked. From the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl taking the opportunity to slip away. His lips curled up slightly as he reached out his hand to pull her into his embrace. The girl was wearing an ice silk tank top dress. The fabric was cool and smooth, so it was especially comfortable to touch. Coupled with the fact that she had just taken a shower so she was emitting an exceptionally pleasant fragrance, Mo Shiting couldn¡¯t bear to let go of her for a moment. Sensing that the large hand on her waist seemed to be moving around, Gu Li¡¯s heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her throat. Just as she was about to pull his hand away, he gritted his teeth and asked, ¡°My kissing skills are very bad, huh?¡± The last word was deliberately elongated, making Gu Li¡¯s heart beat wildly. But of course, I was courting death by stepping on his tail. She bit her lip in annoyance, and her eyes darted around before she immediately said obsequiously, ¡°I was just spouting nonsense. Young Master Mo, you¡¯re a magnanimous person, so you definitely won¡¯t hold it against me, right?¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Mo Shiting sneered coldly. Gu Li was anxious. ¡°Then what do you want?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°Forget it. You can kill or torture me however you want.¡± With that, she closed her eyes, looking as though she was taking her death calmly. Seeing this, Mo Shiting was speechless. But when he saw her eyelashes trembling with an unconcealable nervousness, something unknown instantly appeared in his eyes. He simply took the towel from her hand and covered her head roughly. ¡°Change your dress. It¡¯s so ugly!¡± With that, he quickly pushed her away. Gu Li: ¡°¡­¡± I didn¡¯t die??? Seeing that he had already turned around to walk to the sofa, Gu Li shuddered and immediately rushed into her room, closing the door with a bang. ¡°Phew!¡± She leaned against the door and finally heaved a sigh of relief. Her heart was still pounding wildly as she lowered her head and glanced at the tank top dress on her body. She couldn¡¯t help but think to herself, he wouldn¡¯t have seen anything since the towel was covering my chest, right? But at the thought of the intimate scene of the two of them hugging each other just now, her face started burning uncontrollably again. ¡­ Fifteen minutes later, Gu Li came out of her room dressed neatly. At this moment, her hair had also been blown dry. Mo Shiting didn¡¯t leave, and he sat on the sofa with his legs crossed elegantly.. Chapter 33 - Why Did You Trick Me Into Marriage? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Li walked over. ¡°Young Master Mo, I have something to ask of you.¡± Seeing her serious expression, Mo Shiting raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to continue. The girl swallowed her saliva and sat down before saying, ¡°I¡¯m participating in ¡®The Charming Female Star¡¯ tomorrow. This might break the Mo family rules, but I¡¯ve already asked Grandpa, and he said that the punishment rights are in your hands. I hope you can promise not to punish me.¡± Mo Shiting looked at her with burning eyes and instantly made a decision, ¡°Answer me a question first.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Gu Li nodded without hesitation. ¡°Go ahead.¡± ¡°Why did you trick me into marriage?¡± Initially, he didn¡¯t care about her motive for getting close to him. After all, the two of them would be getting a divorce soon and they wouldn¡¯t have any interactions in the future, so she wouldn¡¯t be able to hurt him much either. But at some point, this question became important to him¡­ Facing the man¡¯s question, Gu Li¡¯s eyes flickered. Whether it was her motive for getting married or the fact that she was Tangtang, she couldn¡¯t tell him the truth. But she also knew that he wasn¡¯t easy to fool, so she said with a troubled expression, ¡°This is my privacy. I can¡¯t tell you, but¡­¡± At this point, Gu Li glanced at him faintly and said sincerely, ¡°I mean you no harm.¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Mo Shiting didn¡¯t buy it. Gu Li could only bite the bullet and continue. ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work out, let¡¯s go our separate ways and never meet again, okay? But I still ask you to promise me that you¡¯ll only get a divorce with me after one year.¡± Never expecting that not only was she unwilling to tell the truth, but she even made such a ridiculous suggestion, Mo Shiting¡¯s handsome face darkened, ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°Please.¡± With that, the girl leaned over and held his hand. Mo Shiting pried her fingers apart one by one. ¡°Do you think I, Mo Shiting, am a tool that comes and goes as you please? I don¡¯t even want a woman like you as my wife for a even a single day!¡± With that, he suddenly stood up and strode out. Gu Li looked helpless. ¡°You misunderstood me.¡± Her tone was extremely aggrieved. Mo Shiting suppressed the anger in his heart. As he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around. ¡°You still don¡¯t want to tell me, right?¡± Gu Li lowered her head. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Okay! Let¡¯s get a divorce them. I¡¯ll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 10 a.m. on the day after tomorrow.¡± He gritted his teeth and left without giving her any room for negotiation. Gu Li chased after him in a hurry, but he was already nowhere to be seen. She pressed her aching temples, and was feeling worried. Sigh, why must this man be so stubborn? I really can¡¯t tell him¡­ ¡­ That night, Gu Li couldn¡¯t sleep at all. The next day, Da Ha came to pick her up early in the morning. After she got into the car, Da Ha saw that she was listless, and he asked with concern, ¡°Boss, what happened to you? Did you not sleep well last night?¡± Gu Li yawned and said tiredly, ¡°Yeah. I¡¯ll take a short nap. Wake me up when we reach.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Da Ha nodded. Gu Li slept the whole way to the TV station. When she arrived at the TV station, she was finally not as listless as before. When they met again, the staff was much more enthusiastic than last time. After all, her identity last time was just an ordinary person. And this time, she was the guest that the investor had designated, so no one dared to treat her badly. Director Yang brought her to the recording studio and asked as they walked, ¡°We will be recording the rating of the contestants¡¯ first stage today. You know the whole flow of the show, right?¡± ¡°Yes, I understand most of it.¡± Gu Li nodded slightly. Soon, the two of them arrived at the recording area. It was a recording studio that could accommodate more than a thousand people. The stage had been set up since a long time ago, and the staff were busy adjusting the equipments. Director Yang introduced them to her and said, ¡°The recording will start in two hours. Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll introduce you to the other four judges.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Gu Li smiled politely. When she read the information last night, she knew that apart from her ¡ªa non-celebrity¡ª the other judges were all prominent figures in the entertainment industry: Cheng Ying, the Artist Director of GE Entertainment, which was the company of many A-list celebrities; movie producer Jiang Cheng; music producer Xu Jin; and Xue Huaimo, a famous director. Each of them had more experience than the other, and they all seemed proud and arrogant. When they see that I¡¯m so young, they¡¯ll probably question my abilities, right? Gu Li¡¯s guess was indeed right. At this moment, in the guest lounge, when the four judges heard that a young girl was going to be a judge, just like them, they were very displeased.. Chapter 34 - Do You Dare to Make a Bet with Me? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the production team? They actually found a young girl who¡¯s still wet behind the ears to be a judge. They¡¯re clearly looking down on us.¡± The first to speak was the famous director, Xue Huaimo, who had always been known for his vicious tongue. He was strict, harsh, and extremely prideful. When he gets angry, he would disregard everyone and he would even scold award-winning actresses. ¡°You can¡¯t win against powerful people. I heard that the girl was sent in by the show¡¯s biggest investor, GT. She has a strong backing.¡± Cheng Ying took a sip of coffee and sneered. Two years ago, GT Group had mercilessly rejected GE Entertainment¡¯s sincere endorsement deal. Thus she still bore a grudge against this until now, so she naturally wouldn¡¯t treat Gu Li, whom GT had taken a liking to, well. Having not expected Gu Li to join the show because of her strong backing, Xue Huaimo snorted disdainfully and his impression of Gu Li worsened even more. The expressions of the other two producers were also very ugly. Under this atmosphere, Director Yang brought Gu Li into the lounge. ¡°Hello everyone, our last judge is here. I specially brought her here to introduce her to everyone.¡± Director Yang greeted them with a smile. Only then did everyone look over to where the sound came from. When they saw Gu Li¡¯s face, which was unbelievably beautiful even without makeup, they couldn¡¯t hide the astonishment in their eyes. However, her joining the programme with a strong backing, and coupled with her extremely beautiful looks, it was very easy for others to label her as someone who had ¡®used her body to get something she wants¡¯. Therefore, no one gave her a good attitude. Gu Li wasn¡¯t affected by their nasty attitude. She smiled lightly and bowed politely. ¡°Hello, seniors and teachers. My name is Gu Li, and I¡¯m very honored to be the judge of this program along with everyone. Please take care of me.¡± After she finished speaking, Director Yang hurriedly introduced her. ¡°Although Teacher Gu is young, she¡¯s a popular cartoonist and drama critic. She has a unique understanding of acting, and the production team has specially invited her to join the show because of this.¡± With ill intentions in mind, Cheng Ying said, ¡°SInce Miss Gu is so impressive, why don¡¯t you act out a scene for us to admire?¡± She didn¡¯t believe that Gu Li had any acting skills at all. At this moment, she only wanted Gu Li to embarrass herself in public. And it would be best if she could completely infuriate the famous and prestigious director, Xue Huaimo, and get kicked out of the production team. Cheng Ying had been counting her chickens before they hatched. But unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng, who had been silent the whole time, said, ¡°Everyone knows how to boast about their abilities. Who would be willing to see her act? It¡¯s a waste of time.¡± With just a few words, he had ruined Cheng Ying¡¯s plan, and it was unknown if he had done it intentionally or not. Cheng Ying was furious, but she still kept a smile on her face. ¡°Director Xue, haven¡¯t you always cherished talents? It¡¯s rare to have such a good opportunity like today. I believe you¡¯ll also want to see Miss Gu¡¯s acting skills, right?¡± Xue Huaimo frowned and sized Gu Li up critically. ¡°You know how to act?¡± Gu Li straightened her back and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°How shameless of you to make such a bold statement!¡± ¡°I¡¯m telling the truth.¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Xue Huaimo sneered, his smile not reaching his eyes. ¡°Alright, then act for me. If you can¡¯t act well, get lost from the show.¡± ¡°And what if I act well?¡± Gu Li asked. ¡°Haha¡­¡± Before Xue Huaimo could answer, Cheng Ying already couldn¡¯t wait to laugh out loud. ¡°Little girl, you really think too highly of yourself.¡± Gu Li¡¯s eyes darted around before she looked at Cheng Ying and said seriously, ¡°Teacher Cheng, since you look down on me so much, do you dare to make a bet with me?¡± Cheng Ying refused. ¡°Why should I make a bet with you?¡± Seeing that she didn¡¯t take the bait, Gu Li said lightly, ¡°Oh, so you don¡¯t dare to.¡± Indeed, when dealing with arrogant and conceited people, provocation was the most effective. Even someone as smart as Cheng Ying couldn¡¯t avoid falling into a trap at this moment.. ¡°What a joke! Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you? Tell me, how should we bet?¡± Chapter 35 - She Didnt Expect Him to Take A Liking to Her Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gu Li said, ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to act? Then I¡¯ll act out one scene and let the other three teachers be the judges. If I pass the assessment, you have to apologize to me on Weibo. If I don¡¯t pass it, I¡¯ll withdraw from the recording and compensate the production team for their losses. How about it?¡± ¡°Okay! I promise you.¡± Cheng Ying nodded, secretly laughing at Gu Li¡¯s stupidity. So what if I lose? I¡¯m not an artist anyway, so it doesn¡¯t hurt to apologize on Weibo. But if she loses, the price is going to be heavy¡­ I thought she was smart. Turns out, she¡¯s just a silly girl. The more Cheng Ying thought about it, the more proud she became. Director Yang, who was watching from the side, was anxious. He was about to stop Gu Li when Xue Huaimo interrupted him. ¡°Let¡¯s begin then.¡± Since he had already said so, the other two judges had no objections. Gu Li said to Xue Huaimo, ¡°I¡¯ve seen all of your movies. You can choose any character, and I¡¯ll act it out.¡± Xue Huaimo was amused by her confident attitude. ¡°Since you¡¯re so confident, then act this one out.¡± With that, he took out a manuscript from his bag and handed it to her. Gu Li took it and took a look. It was the script of the movie ¡®Falling City¡¯. ¡®Falling City¡¯ was a major period movie that Xue Huaimo was about to direct. Other than the male lead, none of the other important female roles had been decided, and it was said that the reason he had agreed to be a judge for this show was because he wanted to choose actresses for the roles in his movie. Gu Li studied it seriously and was soon attracted by the plot, which was full of twists and turns. This part of the script was about Tian Wu, the daughter of the Xiang Kingdom. In order to save the person she loved, Qin Guo, who had gone missing during the war, she had sneaked into the enemy¡¯s country alone and finally found the person after much hardship. This scene was about her breaking down in despair after finding out that he was actually the prince of the enemy¡¯s country. The plot only occupied one page of the paper, yet it still vividly described Tian Wu¡¯s love and hatred for Qin Guo. Thus, even actors with a foundation in acting might not be able to portray such an outstanding moment, let alone a non-celebrity like Gu Li. So when Cheng Ying saw that she was going to act this scene out, she was delighted. After carefully analyzing the scene for a few minutes, Gu Li put the script aside and got right into the character. There were no lines, and the only thing there was, was her gaze that changed about freely. From the joy that she felt when she first saw the person she loved to the disbelief, the anger, the hatred, and finally the despair when she found out his identity¡­ The light in the girl¡¯s eyes disappeared bit by bit. The sorrow that was all around her instantly swept over her, covering her petite figure and touching the hearts of everyone present deeply¡­ The large lounge was completely silent. Everyone was immersed in Tian Wu¡¯s immense pain and they only regained their senses when the performance ended. ¡°Not bad!¡± ¡°It¡¯s quite good!¡± ¡°That was amazing, Teacher Gu.¡± Xu Jin, Jiang Cheng, and Director Yang exclaimed in unison. Gu Li thanked them with a smile and looked at Cheng Ying. ¡°Teacher Cheng, what do you think?¡± ¡°I admit my defeat.¡± Cheng Ying¡¯s expression was extremely ugly. If I knew that this girl was so good at acting, I wouldn¡¯t have made that bet. I lost so thoroughly. Gu Li reminded her cheekily, ¡°Then do remember to post on Weibo tonight, and @ me, Teacher Cheng.¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Cheng Ying snorted coldly and left in exasperation in her high heels. Gu Li stood in front of Xue Huaimo and returned the script to him with both hands. ¡°Here you go, Director Xue.¡± Xue Huaimo looked at her deeply and was silent for a long time before he suddenly asked, ¡°Are you interested in playing the role of Tian Wu?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Gu Li was flattered because she didn¡¯t expect him to take a liking to her. ¡°You¡¯re very suitable,¡± Xue Huaimo said sincerely. Although he had a bad temper, he was an upright person. As a director who cherished talent, he naturally didn¡¯t want to let go of such a good ¡®seedling¡¯.. Chapter 36 - Being Smug After Being Praised A Few Times Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Thank you for your appreciation, Director Xue. I¡¯m really sorry but I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t accept it.¡± Gu Li refused with a troubled expression. Xue Huaimo¡¯s invitation was indeed very tempting. However, she didn¡¯t want to be a celebrity, so she naturally couldn¡¯t agree. The other people around them widened their eyes in disbelief. She actually rejected Director Xue¡¯s offer?! After all, Xue Huaimo was currently the most famous director in the local film industry and he had a certain status internationally. All the actors who had acted as the male and female leads in his movies have basically all become famous. If Gu Li is to act in his movie, with her superior appearance and outstanding acting skills, she will definitely win the Best Actress Award in less than two years. Yet she doesn¡¯t want it?! The first to react was the show¡¯s director, Director Yang. ¡°Teacher Gu, you have to think it through carefully. It¡¯s Director Xue¡¯s movie. There won¡¯t be another opportunity like this if you miss it.¡± ¡°Gu Li, it¡¯s rare for Director Xue to take a liking to you. Don¡¯t be ungrateful!¡± Jiang Cheng couldn¡¯t help but reprimand her. In his opinion, this little girl was being so smug after she was praised a few times that she wasn¡¯t even putting a famous director in her eyes. She really thinks too highly of herself! ¡°What are you thinking by not grasping such a good opportunity?¡± Xu Jin was curious. Xue Huaimo was equally puzzled. This was the first time he had been rejected when giving someone a role in his movie, so he instead was taking Gu Li even more seriously. Gu Li found a reason to explain herself. ¡°I appreciate your kindness, seniors. But my family has strict rules and they don¡¯t agree to have me enter the entertainment industry, and I don¡¯t want to disobey them either.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a pity.¡± Xue Huaimo sighed, but he still didn¡¯t give up. ¡°There¡¯s still some time before the shooting starts. Think about it again. I¡¯ll keep the role of Tian Wu for you first.¡± At this point, Gu Li would seem a little insensible if she rejected him directly. Therefore, she could only nod and smile as she said, ¡°Okay. Thank you, Director.¡± After this small incident, other than Cheng Ying, the other three judges treated Gu Li much more kindly. When the recording started, they had all started to call her ¡®Little G¡¯. Seeing this, Cheng Ying hated her even more. Especially when she thought about how she had to apologize to her on Weibo tonight, she gritted her teeth in hatred. ¡­ What happened in the guest lounge soon reached Qiu Yuxin¡¯s ears. When she found out that Gu Li had actually gained Director Xue¡¯s favor and that he had invited her to act as an important supporting female role in his new movie, she was so angry that she exploded on the spot. ¡°Who does that little slut think she is? How is she qualified to act as the second female lead in Director Xue¡¯s movie? Did she seduce Director Xue? Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have¡ª¡± ¡°Lower your voice.¡± Her manager, Sister Zhuang, hurriedly stopped her. ¡°The walls have ears. If Director Xue hears you, how are you going to fight for the female lead role? Don¡¯t forget your true motive for participating in this show. Besides, Gu Li rejected it.¡± ¡°What? She rejected it?¡± Qiu Yu was even more excited than before. ¡°Yes.¡± Sister Zhuang nodded. ¡°Apparently, her family objects to it.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Qiu Yuxin finally calmed down. That¡¯s right too. How could a prestigious family like the Mo family allow their daughter-in-law to enter the entertainment industry? Back then, Shen Yunsi had considered this too, so she rejected scouts time and time again. As for Gu Li¡­ Hah, if she really can¡¯t resist the temptation and step into this industry, she and Mo Shiting definitely won¡¯t be able to make it to the end. Ignoring everything else, she won¡¯t even get the approval of Old Madam Song, let alone the other Mo family members. At the thought of this, a scheming glint flashed across Qiu Yuxin¡¯s eyes. ¡­ The first episode of the show was the preliminary elimination round. There were a total of 36 female celebrities who had to do a 1v1 competition on their acting skills, of which only 18 of them would be able to advance to the next round. The judges would score the two people competing against each other based on their actions, lines, and feelings, and the one with the higher overall score would win. Most of the female celebrities who came to participate in the show had good acting skills. Gu Li watched with relish and gave every performer an objective score. The competition proceeded in an orderly manner, and it was finally Qiu Yuxin¡¯s turn in the latter half of the match.. Chapter 37 - Being Scolded Again Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The person who had competed against her was a second-tier actress, Zhou Xiao, who was known for her lousy acting skills. Both of their performances were comparable to the scene of a car accident. All of the judges, including Gu Li, gave Zhou Xiao five marks. As for Qiu Yuxin, the other judges gave her six points, while Gu Li only gave her three. The total score ended up to be 25 to 27, thus Qiu Yuxin won by a narrow margin. Facing such an outcome, Qiu Yuxin was extremely angry. She couldn¡¯t help but clench her fists and question, ¡°Ms. Gu, please explain why you gave Zhou Xiao five points, while you gave me three when I clearly acted better than her?¡± The moment she finished speaking, Gu Li immediately became the center of attention. Seeing Gu Li become the target of public criticism, Cheng Ying gloated immensely at her misfortune. When this scene is broadcasted, Gu Li will definitely be cursed by the entire internet. After all, Qiu Yuxin¡¯s fans are famous for being vicious in the fandom. Faced with Qiu Yuxin¡¯s aggressiveness, Gu Li asked her calmly, ¡°Then, are you satisfied with your performance just now?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Qiu Yuxin hesitated. She knew very well how bad her acting was, and her answer would be inappropriate no matter how she answered this question. Gu Li, this little slut. She actually dared to dig a hole for me to jump into? ¡°It seems like you¡¯re not satisfied with it yourself.¡± Gu Li smiled and said, ¡°You¡¯ve always had very high expectations of yourself. You once said in an interview that if you¡¯re not satisfied with your performance, you¡¯ll only give yourself a maximum of three points. And the role you chose this time just happened to be one that you¡¯ve acted before. Then, shouldn¡¯t you be assessed with a higher standard? Of course, if you think it¡¯s unnecessary, I¡¯ll apologize to you and change my score.¡± ¡°You¡ª¡± Her words were stuck in her throat, and Qiu Yuxin was so angry that she was speechless. ¡­ At the Mo Corporation¡­ Lu Yang knocked on the door of the president¡¯s office and walked in lightly. He placed the documents on the large office desk and reported carefully, ¡°Young Master, this is the review and amendment proposal of the heads of the marketing, sales, and research and development departments. Please take a look.¡± During the meeting just now, his young master had harshly criticized a few executives who had made mistakes. Those people were scolded so harshly that they were scared and didn¡¯t dare to go in front of Mo Shiting, so they could only entrust the task to him. Lu Yang had been by Mo Shiting¡¯s side for more than ten years. In my impression, Young Master has always restrained himself and he rarely loses control of his emotions. But today, he really is in a bad mood. It must have something to do with Young Madam, right? At the thought of this, Lu Yang adjusted his glasses on his nose bridge and asked tentatively, ¡°Young Master, a staff member sent me a video about Young Madam. Do you want to see it?¡± Mo Shiting was focused on the computer screen, and his long fingers flew across the keyboard as he ignored Lu Yang. Seeing this, Lu Yang continued, ¡°It¡¯s a clip of Young Madam acting out a scene. It¡¯s especially exciting.¡± Mo Shiting paused in his typing slightly and looked up, a sharp glint flashing across his eyes. ¡°Are you very free?¡± Lu Yang braced himself and said, ¡°I¡¯m not, but it¡¯s also my duty to care about you, Young Master.¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Mo Shiting coldly chased him out. ¡°¡­Yes.¡± Lu Yang could only leave as per his orders. Before he left, he reminded Mo Shiting dutifully, ¡°I have already sent the video to you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he slipped away faster than a rabbit before Mo Shiting could even respond. The door closed, and the large office instantly became extremely quiet and cold. Mo Shiting closed his laptop and pressed his throbbing temples. The screen of his phone, which was put aside, lit up, and attracted his attention. Thinking of the video Lu Yang had just mentioned, Mo Shiting pursed his lips. In the end, he reached out his hand and took the phone. He clicked on the play button and soon, the girl¡¯s charming face appeared on the screen. Mo Shiting¡¯s heart immediately skipped a beat. Realizing that his emotions were being influenced by her again, he furrowed his brows in annoyance. Just as he was about to close the video, the girl¡¯s gaze instantly changed. Her performance was full of layers and extremely touching, and it instantly dispelled his thoughts¡­ ¡­ By the time the recording ended, it was already night. After returning home, Gu Li laid on the sofa, not wanting to move even a single bit. Thinking about how Mo Shiting was going to divorce her the next morning, she was extremely worried. About an hour later, Da Ha called her. ¡°Boss, have you taken a look at Weibo? You¡¯re being scolded again.¡± ¡°Huh? Being scolded?¡± Gu Li was dumbfounded. As she opened Weibo, she realized that a keyword with her name had become a trending topic again.. Chapter 38 - Brother Ting, I Feel So Uncomfortable Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios #¡¯A Sweet Pear¡¯ Has No Professional Ethics Gu Li: ??? When she clicked on the keyword, she saw that the viewer count was very low. Clearly, this trending topic was paid for. After taking a quick scan, Gu Li finally understood what was happening. The cause of the incident was Cheng Ying posting a bitchy apology on Weibo and tagging her. Not many people paid attention to it at first, but very soon, some ¡®netizens¡¯ took the opportunity and dug out information that she had participated in the recording of ¡®The Charming Female Star¡¯ show. They then brought up her comic ¡®The Beautiful Master¡¯, which had been on the trending searches not long ago. Therefore, all the fake netizens started scolding her for being irresponsible and having no professional ethics. They were saying that she had time to film variety shows, yet she didn¡¯t have time to update her comics and so on. Gu Li smiled. Come to think of it, it was quite laughable. My comic had just officially ended this morning, and this group of people are trying to defame me without even verifying the most basic situation? Are they stupid or what? I don¡¯t even want to care about people who are using such low-level methods anymore. Anyways, it won¡¯t be long before there¡¯ll be netizens who can¡¯t stand it and clarify for me. By then, I should even be able to earn a free wave of popularity. Just as she had expected, after the topic had been trending for a short period of time, the direction of the topic had changed. Netizens jumped out one after another to speak up for ¡®A Sweet Pear¡¯, and at the same time, they promoted ¡®The Beautiful Master¡¯, which had caused them to shed a lot of tears. More and more people went to C Station out of admiration. That night, the viewer count of ¡®The Beautiful Master¡¯ broke the whole website¡¯s record, and the author,¡¯A Sweet Pear¡¯, became popular all over the internet again¡­ When Cheng Ying, the mastermind, found out about this, she was so angry that she was vomiting blood. As for Gu Li, she was only thinking about how she could stop Mo Shiting from getting a divorce with her, and she didn¡¯t care at all if she was popular or not. What should I do? The girl lay on the bed, and her mind was full of Mo Shiting¡¯s face. Actually, she could understand him. After all, how could someone as high up in the air and mighty as him allow me to approach him with hidden intentions? It¡¯s already very merciful of him not to throw me into the sea to feed the fishes after being tricked by me like that. Since she couldn¡¯t fall asleep, she turned on her phone and searched for answers online. She entered [How to Stop Husband From Getting A Divorce] in the search engine and found a bunch of useless suggestions. Gu Li closed the webpage silently. Looks like I have to make a ruthless move! ¡­ At 10 a.m. the next morning¡­ Mo Shiting had arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau on time. He didn¡¯t enter the Civil Affairs Bureau, but he had parked the car at the entrance and he called Gu Li. The phone rang for a long time, but it wasn¡¯t answered. Mo Shiting furrowed his brows as a dark glint flashed across his deep eyes. Did she run away again? Unwilling to give up, he called her again. This time, it was actually picked up. ¡°Hey¡­¡± The girl¡¯s hoarse voice sounded through the phone. Mo Shiting was slightly stunned. He then heard her say with slurred words, ¡°Big Brother Ting¡­ I¡­ I feel so uncomfortable¡­¡± Knowing that she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, Mo Shiting directly questioned him, ¡°Why are you still playing tricks at a time like this?¡± ¡°Big Brother Ting, I¡¯m really¡­ feeling¡­ uncomfortable¡­¡± The girl ignored his question and spoke weakly, and her tone was becoming increasingly weak. Mo Shiting felt inexplicably worried. But he still deliberately ignored the softness in his heart and ordered her domineeringly, ¡°Regardless of whether you¡¯re really feeling unwell or not, come to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now! Immediately!¡± With that, he hung up the phone. Hearing that the phone was hung up, Gu Li put her phone aside weakly. She felt so depressed that she wanted to smash the wall. Actually, the ruthless move she thought of was to soak herself in a cold shower all night and make herself sick. Unfortunately, although she was indeed sick, she still couldn¡¯t arouse the man¡¯s sympathy. Seems like I can¡¯t hide from going to the Civil Affairs Bureau today. At the thought of this, Gu Li forced herself to get up from the bed despite feeling uncomfortable. She walked toward the restroom with heavy footsteps. But after taking a few steps, her vision suddenly darkened, and her body went limp as she fell straight to the ground.. Chapter 39 - Give Her to Me Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios At the Civil Affairs Bureau¡­ Mo Shiting waited for a long time, but Gu Li never appeared. He looked at his watch and realized that more than half an hour had passed. She actually dared to go against me? How dare she. The man¡¯s face darkened. He was about to call her again when another call came in. ¡°Young Master¡ª¡± It was a call from Lu Yang. Mo Shiting¡¯s tone was impatient. ¡°Speak!¡± ¡°The bodyguards you sent to protect Young Madam reported that a young man has entered Young Madam¡¯s house a minute ago.¡± What?! ¡­ On the other side¡­ ¡°Boss, open the door. ¡°Boss?¡± Da Ha stood at Gu Li¡¯s door and called out for her while he knocked on the door. By right, at this time, he should have already gotten onto the plane. But just as he was about to go through the security check, he suddenly thought of giving Gu Li a call, and he ended up finding out that in order to stop Mo Shiting from getting a divorce with her, she had taken a cold shower for the entire night and had caught a fever. How can there be such a silly person? Is it worth it to almost lose your life for a man? Da Ha was angry and heartbroken for her. He then decided not to get onto the plane and he rushed over to her house from the airport. Even after shouting a few times, she still didn¡¯t answer the door. Worried that something had happened to her, he hurriedly used the password to open the door. Unable to find Gu Li in the living room, Da Ha immediately rushed into her bedroom. And as expected, he saw her passed out on the ground. ¡°Boss¡ª ¡°Boss, wake up! ¡°Oh no, your body¡¯s so hot! ¡°Boss, you have a high fever. I¡¯ll send you to the hospital now.¡± ¡­ Da Ha picked up Gu Li and hurriedly walked out of the door. However, just as he left the building, he was blocked by a few tall men who were dressed in black suits. ¡°Who are you guys? What do you guys want?¡± Da Ha took two steps back as he carried Gu Li, his eyes full of vigilance. The Mo family¡¯s bodyguards stopped him expressionlessly as one of the bodyguards said, ¡°Put down our Young Madam!¡± ¡°Your Young Madam?¡± Da Ha was slightly dumbfounded. When he understood what they meant, he couldn¡¯t help but to get enraged. ¡°Are you guys Mo Shiting¡¯s people?¡± ¡°¡­¡± No one denied it. ¡°Fine. Where is that bastard Mo Shiting? Get him to come out right now! He doesn¡¯t think it¡¯s enough that he caused my boss to have a high fever, and now he wants to stop her from going to see the doctor? Is he even human?!¡± Young Madam having a fever? Is he speaking the truth? The bodyguards couldn¡¯t help looking at each other in doubt. But even so, none of them were willing to give way. After all, if Young Madam manages to run away, the consequences will be dire. Seeing this, Da Ha was so angry that he started scolding them out loud, ¡°Do you guys still have any humanity left in you? Can¡¯t you see how sick your Young Madam is? Let me warn you this, if you don¡¯t get out of my way right now and my boss becomes a fool from her high fever, Mo Shiting definitely won¡¯t let all of you off easily!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m saying this one last time, get out of my way!¡± Da Ha¡¯s eyes were red as he yelled at them. Looking at the burning and unconscious Gu Li in his arms, he recalled everything she had done for Mo Shiting. At this moment, he truly hated Mo Shiting. Right at that moment, a black Bentley car drove over domineeringly and stopped near them. Everyone looked over and saw the car door being pushed open as a pair of long, straight legs landed steadily on the ground. Right after that, the man¡¯s extraordinarily handsome face suddenly appeared in their sight. Mo Shiting¡¯s here! ¡°Young Master!¡± The bodyguards bowed to him respectfully and made way for him. Upon seeing the culprit, Da Ha¡¯s heart burned with rage. If it wasn¡¯t for the delicate and weak patient in his arms, he would have definitely beaten this bastard up. Mo Shiting walked up to him and glared at him coldly. ¡°Give her to me!¡± ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Da Ha subconsciously hugged Gu Li tightly, afraid that Mo Shiting would do something bad to her.. Chapter 40 - Jealousy Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Mo Shiting stared at the golden-haired young man in front of him and quickly remembered that he had once seen him and Gu Li having a close relationship. At this moment, he felt that the hand placed on Gu Li¡¯s arm was particularly irksome. But the young man didn¡¯t realize it, and he kept hugging Gu Li tightly, as if she was his treasure. Hah! If the two of them say that there¡¯s not a single bit of ambiguity between them, I won¡¯t believe them. A dangerous glint flashed across Mo Shiting¡¯s long and narrow eyes. He didn¡¯t even bother talking to him and directly grabbed Gu Li over. How could Da Ha win against Mo Shiting in terms of strength? In just a few moves, Mo Shiting had already snatched the person in his arms away with ease. The moment he touched Gu Li¡¯s body, Mo Shiting couldn¡¯t help but frown. Her body¡¯s so hot. Could it be that she¡¯s really sick? The man¡¯s eyes flickered with a dark glint. But Da Ha was unwilling to give up. Despite feeling helpless, he clenched his fists and warned fiercely, ¡°Mo Shiting, don¡¯t you dare hurt my boss!¡± Mo Shiting ignored him and nodded expressionlessly at the bodyguards beside him. The bodyguards immediately understood what he meant and grabbed Da Ha without second word as they dragged him away. Da Ha was extremely anxious. While struggling, he shouted loudly, ¡°Hey! why are you guys grabbing onto me?! ¡°Are you trying to abudct someone in broad daylight? ¡°Let go of me! ¡°Mo Shiting¡ª ¡°Boss, save me! ¡°Boss, save me!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the end, Da Ha couldn¡¯t escape the fate of being forced into the car. As for Mo Shiting, the moment he asked the guards to grab Da Ha, he carried Gu Li into his black Bentley car and left. Half an hour later, in the exclusive VIP ward at the Lu Group Hospital¡­ After Lu Cong helped to put Gu Li on an IV drip, he looked at the person lying on the hospital bed, whose fever was not subsiding, he couldn¡¯t help shaking his head. ¡°Say, are the two of you fated to clash? You jinx her, right?¡± Standing by the bed, Mo Shiting turned his head and glared at Lu Cong coldly. Lu Cong adjusted his glasses on his nose bridge, and was not frightened by his gaze at all. ¡°Why? Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?¡± ¡°Hah!¡± Mo Shiting snorted coldly. His gaze landed on the girl¡¯s pale face, and his gaze subconsciously softened. ¡°It¡¯s more like she jinxes me.¡± ¡°What? Did I hear wrongly? There¡¯s actually someone in this world that can jinx you?¡± Lu Cong teased. Mo Shiting glared at him. ¡°You seem to be very free. Is the hospital about to close down?¡± ¡°You¡¯re just kicking me to the curb after I¡¯ve outlived my usefulness!¡± Lu Cong sneered angrily and quickly packed his medical equipment. He then said coldly, ¡°I¡¯ll leave, and I¡¯ll leave immediately. I won¡¯t be a third wheel anymore, okay?¡± Mo Shiting ignored Lu Cong, and his gaze was still fixated on Gu Li. Seeing this, Lu Cong added, ¡°Call me if you need anything.¡± With that, he strode out of the ward. The moment he left, the ward instantly fell silent. Mo Shiting elegantly lifted his pants and sat down beside the bed. He raised his hand and touched the girl¡¯s forehead. It was still very hot. This girl is really sick at the right time. A dark glint flashed across the man¡¯s eyes. I don¡¯t think we¡¯ll be able to get a divorce today. At the thought of this, he pursed his lips. For some reason, the depressed feeling in his heart had surprisingly dissipated a lot. However, as he looked at her sickly appearance, an unfamiliar feeling suddenly surged up his mind, making him feel inexplicably uncomfortable. What exactly is happening to me? ¡°Big Brother Ting¡­¡± The girl¡¯s groggy voice interrupted his thoughts. When Mo Shiting regained his senses, he saw her eyebrows furrowed tightly together as she shook her head vigorously and said in her sleep, ¡°Don¡¯t get a divorce with me, don¡¯t, Big Brother Ting¡­¡± Mo Shiting couldn¡¯t help but hold her hand tightly as he muttered, ¡°Gu Li, who exactly are you?¡±
