Gu Li was initially worried about Mo Shiting’s health. But to her surprise, the moment she arrived at his office, he kissed her passionately and intensely, leaving her head spinning. It took her a while to regain her wits.
“Bastard! You’re not running a fever? How dare you deceive me!”
Gu Li forcefully pushed him away. Frustrated, she threw the bag of medicine at him and turned to leave.
Mo Shiting, utterly bewildered, caught the bag of medicine and held her wrist at the same time. “When did I tell you I had a fever?”
Gu Li shook off his hand, gritting her teeth. “You didn’t say, but Lu Yang did. You, you ordered him to lie to me. You big liar!”
Mo Shiting caught on and smirked. “Lu Yang is Lu Yang, and I am me. You can’t blame me for what Lu Yang did.”
“Well, why not? You’re his boss. Without your instructions, even if he had the guts to, he wouldn’t dare to do such a thing!”
Gu Li was still fuming, though she understood deep down that this could be Lu Yang’s solo doing. After all, given Mo Shiting’s domineering nature, he would rather use force on her than resort to deception.
Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow. “Fine! Let’s confront Lu Yang then.”
With these words, he strode back to his desk, pretending to pick up the phone.
Gu Li huffed, “Lu Yang works for you. Would he dare to deny it if you asked him to?”
Mo Shiting: “…”
Her words made so much sense that he had nothing to retort.
So, he had to take the blame silently, huh?
However, considering she had rushed to his side out of concern for him, he decided not to hold it against her.
With this thought, Mo Shiting took a seat in the sofa area.
Gu Li followed him over and lazily leaned back on the neighboring sofa. Irritably, she asked, “You said you wanted to see me. What for?”
Mo Shiting lightly tapped his chin, indicating for her to look at the invitation on the coffee table.
Gu Li blinked in surprise as she pick it up and opened it. She was startled to find that it was an invitation to her father’s birthday dinner.
How did Brother Ting come by this invitation?
Did her father invite him?
Why would her father invite Brother Ting? What was he up to?
Gu Li became wary and said to Mo Shiting: “Brother Ting, I’m afraid my father might give you a hard time. Perhaps it would be better if you didn’t attend?”
Mo Shiting was slightly upset upon hearing her objection. “What? Are you embarrassed if I attend?”
“That’s not what I meant at all.”
Gu Li was at a loss for words, “I am worried that my father might give you a hard time. After all, he still hasn’t approved of our relationship.”
Mo Shiting pursed his lips, without hesitation saying, “Running away is not the solution. This time, I must go to meet him straight-backed and head on!”
“But…”
Although Gu Li didn’t feel like it was the right move, she was silenced by the intense look from Mo Shiting, “Am I not respectable enough to show up?”
“No! Forget it, let’s go if you want to go.”
Gu Li sighed softly.
If her father invited him and Mo Shiting refused, it would probably fuel their conflict. Better to face it courageously.
After all, she intended to be with Brother Ting no matter what!
Having wrapped up the discussion about her father Gu Yuan’s birthday dinner, Gu Li swiftly rose, “I’m leaving.”
She hadn’t forgotten they were still in the middle of a cold war.
He shouldn’t assume she would so easily forgive him, Humph!
She thought Mo Shiting would try to stop her. But instead, he said in a deep voice, “Be careful on the road.”
What?
That’s it?
Did he specifically call her over just to show her the invitation, exchange a few words, and then let her leave?
Gu Li tightly clutched her bag, took a deep breath, and smiled a smirk with underlying sharpness. “Fine!!!”
Having said that, she swiftly turned around and walked away without looking back.
Mo Shiting watched her elegant, upright silhouette gradually walk away, unconsciously pulling up a shallow smile on his thin lips.
It was only after Gu Li left that he belatedly realized he had forgotten to ask if she really said she would become Murong Si’s bride, and he forgot to ask again over the next few days.
The creative park by the river was already nicely renovated, just needing a dust off before becoming occupied.
Song Yunque originally suggested hiring cleaning workers, but was halted by Da Ha, “For such a trivial matter, do we need workers? We two can handle it.”
“Uh…”
“Brother Que, entrepreneurship requires us to go through hardship. I’m only 19 and I’m not scared, you’re 22, don’t let me outdo you.”
“Pssh! What am I scared of? Fine! Let’s get our hands dirty and fill our bellies!”
Therefore, the two young men bravely took on the cleaning work, bustling about since early morning.
As for Gu Li, she arrived there close to noon after setting off from Mo Group Park.
“Guys, you’ve worked hard. It’s lunchtime now, I brought your favorites, Coke with chicken wings, and also pizzas,” Gu Li said, cheerfully shaking the beautifully packed bag in her hand.
“Wow, thank you, Boss!”
Upon seeing Gu Li, Da Ha immediately threw the duster he held in his hand.
Excited, he caused the dust to fly over to Song Yunque’s side, making him cough.
“Da Ha, you did it on purpose to harm me, didn’t you?”
“Brother Que, I’m sorry.”
Da Ha quickly apologized and urged him, “Go wash your hands fast, I’m starving.”
“Humph!”
Song Yunque pouted, dropped the towel in his hands and went to wash his hands.
The two came back clean and looked for Gu Li.
By now, Gu Li had already set the delicious food she brought on the table.
With its mouthwatering aroma, it instantly kindled appetite.
Song Yunque, who had been working hard since morning, was starving, grabbed a piece and devoured it. He spoke unclearly, “Delicious, the pizza is delicious. Hmm, the chicken wings are also delicious. Aaah, the food that my sister-in-law brings is the most tasty!”
Gu Li chuckled, handed him a roast chicken leg, “Here you are, Erha, well done.”
“Thank you, sister-in-law.”
Song Erha excitedly took the chicken leg, took a big bite, and didn’t notice at all his nickname has become “Erha.”
Da Ha chuckled secretly, shoulders shaking with laughter.
Gu Li’s lips curled slightly, feeling very happy.
The three of them ate and chatted, creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere.
Gu Li also took a group photo specifically and posted it on Moments: “Delicious lunch and the best comrades! Keep it up! so(‘-u-‘) heart”
She quickly received Murong Qian’s likes and comments, “You promised to diet together, but you’re eating and drinking without me, I despise you!”
Gu Li replied: [Sister Qian, rest assured, I am the type to never gain weight no matter how much I eat. Try not to be too envious.]
Morong Si saw her Moments too. After seeing the location, he gave her thumbs up, left without even greeting her, and decided to go look for her.
As for Mo Shiting…
Well, he had no time to look at Moments, as he was busy making money to support his wife.
At the same time, at Imperial City Hotel.
Shen Yunsi was stylishly entering through the revolving door, carrying a 20 – inch small suitcase.
Upon secretly returning home this time, she did not want too many people to know about it. Who knew, the moment she entered the hall, she was stopped by a magnetic male voice.
