Study room.
“Young Master, there is a parcel that notes it should be opened by the recipient himself. I think you should open it,” Lu Yang said, passing over a carton bearing some brand’s logo, a cryptic look in his eyes.
Mo Shiting accepted the box, his brow furrowed in suspicion.
He didn’t notice the logo on the box, his eyes going straight to the parcel bill which read “Mr. Mo,” the contact number, however, was Gu Li’s.
Why was Gu Li’s parcel addressed to him?
Could it be a gift for him?
This realisation instantly lifted Mo Shiting’s mood.
Seeing the faint smile playing at the corner of his mouth and his eagerness to open the box, Lu Yang couldn’t help but cynically think to himself: originally, he had been worried that this might be someone’s prank. But seeing this joy on the Young Master’s face, he had to admit that Young Master must have bought these.
It seemed the Young Master was really going all in. How much time would they need to use all the stuff in this box?
Mo Shiting, unaware of Lu Yang’s thoughts, was looking forward to the surprise Gu Li had in store for him. But when he opened the box, he was met with numerous colorful little boxes, all labeled with phrases like invisible, ultra-thin, ultimate, and more, which were enough to get his imagination running wild.
What was this…?
An expression of confusion crossed his handsome face, he paused for a few seconds before calmly closing the box.
With Lu Yang present, the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
“Ahem.”
In his hurry, Mo Shiting coughed lightly, attempting to ease the tension.
Just then, Lu Yang, with impeccably bad timing, spoke up, “Young Master, I believe, considering your old injuries, it might be best to abstain from… such activities.”
Mo Shiting:
Meanwhile.
Gu Li checked the delivery status, it showed that the package was delivered, she kept on waiting yet received no code from the locker.
What was happening?
Had there been a mistake? The contact number that delivery had left was hers, if someone else had found the package, it would be incredibly embarrassing for her.
Just as she was debating whether to go look for it herself, she saw Mo Shiting walk in, a paper box in his hands.
“Brother Ting!!!”
Perhaps it was out of guilt, but her voice was exceptionally loud.
Her eyes subconsciously wandered towards the box he held and noticed a familiar logo. Her face instantly turned red.
No, it couldn’t be…
These things… they ended up in Brother Ting’s hands…?
Then, he must know how much she had bought…!
Ah! She was so embarrassed.
Gu Li felt awkward, not knowing where to look, when Mo Shiting handed her the box with a raised eyebrow and a teasing tone, “Did you buy these?” “What?”
Gu Li decided to play dumb.
Only her number was written on it, no other information, she could claim it was someone’s prank.
Mo Shiting caught her evasive gaze and chuckled meaningfully, “You bought them from the ST Electronic Platform. I just so happened to see your purchase history.”
Gu Li:
What a mistake!
With so many shopping sites, why did she have to choose his ST platform?
The platform was his, if he wanted to check the order, it would be too easy.
Damn!
Gu Li sighed inwardly then admitted, “I bought them, so what? I was just curious about what they looked like so I bought them to study.”
She bluffed so convincingly she almost believed herself.
Mo Shiting smirked, “Is that so? I never would have guessed Mrs. Mo had such a unique taste. Seems like I still don’t know you that well.”
“Of course! I am like a philosophical book, how could you possibly understand me all at once?” Gu Li brazenly boasted.
Having said that, she quickly snatched the box back into her arms, hugging it tightly, as she tried to hide her nervousness.
Mo Shiting continued, “I’m curious, how do you plan to study them?”
iij ii
Gu Li stuttered, blushing, “I’m just going to look at them. Ah, stop asking so many questions.”
That rotten man!
He knew why she had bought them, but he still had to tease her?
It had taken her a lot of courage to make this move, was he expecting her to be even more proactive?
Hmph, dream on!
She had bought what she needed, and under these circumstances, if he still didn’t take action, he better not take any in the future.
With that thought, Gu Li couldn’t help feeling wronged.
She bit her lip and looked down to hide her emotions. In the next moment, the box was swiped from her arms.
Then, she was pulled into a warm embrace, a sultry male voice sounded in her ear, “Wait for me. I’ll take a bath first.”
GuLi: “!!!”
Mo Shiting had disentangled himself and made his way to the bathroom, leaving Gu Li in a state of daze.
She felt like she was in a dream, floating back to her bed.
As she laid down, it finally started to sink in.
Aaahh—
She happily rolled around on her bed. At that moment, her phone, sitting on the bedside table buzzed.
She picked it up. It was a call from Murong Qian. She quickly answered it.
“Sis—”
The girl’s voice was full of laughter, “Why did you suddenly call me? Did the audition go well?”
She remembered her cousin was going for an audition today, hence that was the first thing she asked.
Murong Qian pouted, “Don’t ask. I waited for half a day outside the audition room, didn’t even get the opportunity to audition because the role was given to someone else.”
“Ah? How can they do that?”
Gu Li was indignant, “Who did they pick?”
Murong Qian replied, “Yu Youlan.”
Gu Li frowned, “Damn, she’s your nemesis.”
Yu Youlan was another top female actress in M country, her reputation rivaling her cousin’s. From their debut, they were arch enemies.
However, while her cousin made a name for herself in the music world on her own, Yu Youlan was backed by strong capital.
Yu Youlan’s agency, Tang Xin Entertainment, was one of M country’s top entertainment companies. Many well-received films, television shows, variety shows, originated from this company.
With such strong backing, if they wanted to give the role to a certain actress, it would be effortless.
Still, Gu Li wasn’t ready to accept defeat, “Isn’t Director Desen known for being fair? How can he accept this arrangement? Yu Youlan’s acting is awful, she can’t be the lead actress.”
“What’s the point if her acting is bad? Nowadays, how many good actors actually get good scripts? It’s all about who has the capital.”
Though Murong Qian was accustomed to the corrupt side of the industry, it hit differently when it affected her directly and she felt slighted.
Gu Li agreed, “I still feel you should fight for it. At least strive to get a chance to audition. You haven’t acted before, but I have faith in your acting skills. I think if Director Desen sees you, he’ll reconsider.”
Murong Qian interrupted her, “Enough about this for now. I called you because I suddenly remembered an important issue.”
Just as Gu Li finished her call with Murong Qian, she saw Mo Shiting walking out of the bathroom, draped in a black bathrobe, drying his hair.
