Emerging from the main house, Mo Shiting held Gu Li’s hand, looking at the band-aid sticking to her palm, his eyes full of tenderness and worry, “Does it still hurt?”
“No, it’s just a small scratch, nothing serious.”
Gu Li gave him a brilliant smile, then steered the conversation, “Brother Ting, my place is just ahead, about a five-minute walk. Would you like to go directly, or do I give you a little tour of the area?”
The setting sun cast a warm glow on the clouds, turning the distant sky into a beautiful sight.
Mo Shiting glanced at the sky overhead, then back at the girl standing before him, his eyes full of indulgence, “Let’s go to your place first.”
“Okay.”
Gu Li readily agreed.
“Hop up.”
Mo Shiting suddenly crouched down in front of her.
Gu Li was slightly taken aback, then quickly caught on, and without any reluctance, climbed onto his back, beaming widely, “Thank you, Brother Ting.”
“I’d be happier if you called me something else.”
With her on his back, Mo Shiting suggested.
Gu Li blinked, utterly bewildered, “What should I call you?”
“You don’t know?”
“No.”
“Then think about it.”
Gu Li:” ”
He’s making her think again? So annoying.
She pouted and promptly rested her face on his shoulder, her eyes rolling around as she thought hard.
Was Brother Ting hinting that she should start calling him ‘husband’?
But she liked calling him ‘Brother Ting’ best.
Calling him ‘husband’ seemed so cheesy.
With this in mind, Gu Li giggled and asked, “Why don’t you like it when I call you Brother Ting?”
Mo Shiting straightforwardly replied, “It’s not special enough.”
Gu Li frowned.
What was not special?
Wasn’t there only one Brother Ting?
“I don’t understand.”
She admitted honestly.
Mo Shiting patiently reminded, “Is it special if you call someone else the same way?”
“Oh.”
She finally understood, “Well, I won’t call Murong Sisi ‘Brother Si’ anymore.”
“Hmph.”
Mo Shiting huffed arrogantly, “It’s about time.”
Gu Li rolled her eyes, “Stingy.”
Even though she complained, she felt sweet inside and involuntarily hugged his neck tighter, giving him a peck on the cheek.
As they strolled ahead, their sweet advances and loving gestures melted the hearts of numerous dogs (Gu family’s guards and servants).
In no time, the news that the young lady had a super attractive boyfriend spread throughout the Gu Family’s courtyard.
Naturally, Gu Susu heard about it and excitedly told Bai Ruyan, “Mommy, Gu Li came back openly with Mo Shiting? The fact that uncle didn’t kick Mo Shiting out means he has accepted him, right? Haha, that’s great.”
Being rather naive, Gu Susu didn’t have any hard feelings for Gu Li as long as she didn’t vie for Murong Si.
Bai Ruyan gracefully filed her nails, looked at her silly daughter out of the corner of her eye, and coolly retorted, “Being happy over such a minor event? Aimless.”
“What’s aimless about it?”
Gu Susu retorted defiantly, “Anyway, I don’t care. I’m just happy.”
Bai Ruyan:” ”
“No way, I am going to see this Mo Shiting and find out what’s so great about him that he’s still managed to win over that dumb girl Gu Li even after my Brother Si’s charm.”
Once Gu Susu set her mind on something, she was swift to act and disappeared in no time.
Bai Ruyan shook her head and sighed: beyond redemption, but let her be happy.
The place where Gu Li was staying had a very melodious name, Pear Garden.
Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the plaque hanging above, Mo Shiting asked, “Are there any pear trees here?”
“No pear trees, just one Sweet Pear.”
Gu Li proudly replied.
Mo Shiting’s lips curled slightly, “So, you came up with this name?”
“Of course. Did you think a man like my father would go out of his way to think of such a nice name for me? I had to come up with it myself.”
Mo Shiting:” ”
At that moment, Gu Li quickly slid off Mo Shiting’s back, looped her arm in his, and cheerfully urged, “Brother Ting, let’s go inside.”
As Mo Shiting was about to agree, suddenly, they heard the rapid thump of footsteps behind them.
His brow furrowed, and then a crisp female voice called out, “You wretched girl, you really did come back.”
Gu Li turned her head to the source of the sound, and saw Gu Susu in a limited edition white dress and heels, panting with fatigue, yet maintaining her delicate stance.
As Gu Susu had secretly let her escape last time, Gu Li found her more pleasing to the eye and her tone was also unconsciously softened, “Oh, it’s you..”
