Mo Shiting furrowed his eyebrows, not responding.
Auntie Guan, observing his reaction and fearful of him refusing, decided to take the initiative: “Let me call Young Madam for you.”
Without waiting for Mo Shiting’s reply, she immediately walked over to the landline, picked up the receiver and began to dial Gu Li’s number.
Mo Shiting silently tightened his lips, and leisurely walked up the stairs. Watching his tall and stalwart silhouette, Auntie Guan sighed to herself, wondering what discord this young couple was facing.
The call connected quickly, and Gu Li’s sweet voice came through the line- “Hello…”
Auntie Guan collected herself and responded with a warm smile: “Young Madam, it’s me, Auntie Guan. Young Master just came home, he’s asking when you’ll return for dinner.”
While speaking with Gu Li, she kept an eye on Mo Shiting’s movements.
Sure enough, Mo Shiting’s steps noticeably faltered, and he moved even slower than before.
Auntie Guan secretly smirked, thinking to herself that he put on quite the act even though it’s apparent he cares about Young Madam.
At that moment, Gu Li, who was on her way to a barbecue restaurant with Da
Ha, was taken aback: “He came back this early?”
Auntie Guan quickly chimed in, “Yes, I didn’t expect it either. Young Master has gone abroad and returned on the same day. He must have been so eager to see Young Madam that he returned right away.”
Auntie Guan took the opportunity to sing praises of Mo Shiting.
Mo Shiting was speechless at her words, but couldn’t bring himself to stop her.
Gu Li couldn’t help but laugh lightly: “Okay, I get it. However, we have plans for barbecue with my friends and then we’re going to sing karaoke. I’ll probably be back quite late. Aunt Guan, could you please cook him something delicious?” “Well…”
Auntie Guan was in a dilemma, but she really couldn’t interfere with Gu Li’s social life, so she agreed, “Okay, Young Madam.”
After chatting for a short while longer, Auntie Guan ended the call.
Seeing that Mo Shiting had reached the second floor, she called out to him, “Young Master.”
Standing next to the railing, Mo Shiting glanced down with one hand in his pocket, “What is it?”
“Young Madam said she’s going with friends for a barbecue and karaoke tonight, she won’t be back until very late.”
Auntie Guan relayed truthfully.
Mo Shiting’s face darkened, clearly unhappy: “I see.”
The response was just as he had expected, that little ingrate.
Just as he was about to march forward, Auntie Guan added: “Young Master,
Young Madam also asked you to pick her up later.”
Obviously, this was an addition of Auntie Guan’s own accord.
She even disclosed the location of the barbecue and karaoke to Mo Shiting. These two not taking the initiative to reconcile was absolutely driving her crazy.
Luckily, Mo Shiting only responded with a light “mm-hmm,” not questioning further, allowing her to pass through without a fuss.
Riverside Barbecue Restaurant.
Enjoying barbecue and beer in an air-conditioned room during summer was an extremely satisfying experience.
Within the private room, Gu Li stood up, holding a large mug of beer, declaring, “Let’s toast in celebration of Little Lin joining Shi Li Entertainment, cheers!” “Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The others raised their glasses to clink with Gu Li. Of course, Lin Ranzhu, who was underage, was drinking tea rather than alcohol.
The four of them were enjoying a merry feast of barbecue and drink, creating an exceptionally joyful atmosphere.
Two hours later, Mo Shiting arrived.
As he pushed the door of the private room open, the smell of barbecue intermixed with alcohol rushed forth, causing him to instinctively furrow his brows.
Scanning around with a stern gaze, his eyes first fell on Gu Li, who was laying on a sofa, snoring away. And there were Da Ha and Song Yunque, playing rock-paper-scissors, lost in their own world of drinking.
A room full of drunkards!
The only relatively normal one was a young girl, sitting by the sofa, looking after Gu Li.
The girl looked fresh-faced and seemingly only sixteen or seventeen.
Ordinarily, Mo Shiting wouldn’t pay attention to the likes of Lin Ranzhu. However, the girl was giving his wife longing glances with moonstruck eyes, which bothered him immensely.
After all, he had not forgotten how during the “Charming Female Stars” finale, his wife, dressed as a man and dancing, had surprisingly brought him a bunch of female rivals.
With a cold face, Mo Shiting strode quickly towards them.
Upon hearing footsteps, Lin Ranzhu turned her head. What came into view was a tall and handsome man.
The person had a strong aura, exuding an “off-limits” air and at a glance, he seem difficult to deal with.
Seeing him nonchalantly walk towards the couch, about to pick up Gu Li, Lin Ranzhu quickly stood up, retreating two steps, “Young Master Mo?”
Although she had never met Mo Shiting in person, his manner and posture made it obvious.
Hearing Lin Ranzhu’s voice, Song Yunque and Da Ha finally turned around, a little too late.
Fourth Brother, what brings you here?”
Song Yunque was both surprised and delighted at the presence of his Fourth
Brother, whom he hadn’t expected here.
Da Ha, on the other hand, respectfully greeted him, “Brother-in-law”.
Mo Shiting nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
“Brother-in-law, have you had dinner? Would you like to join us?”
Da Ha initiated the invitation.
“Yeah, Fourth Brother, join us.”
Song Yunque chimed in.
“There’s no need.”
With a cold voice, Mo Shiting held the peacefully sleeping Gu Li, and just walked out.
Exiting the barbecue restaurant, Mo Shiting carried Gu Li to the riverside, where the natural breeze instantly refreshed him.
Gu Li, nestled in his arms, was gradually waking up.
“Brother Ting?”
The street lights were dim. She couldn’t see his face clearly, but his scent comforted her with familiarity and safety.
“You came to pick me up?”
The girl gave a sweet smile, appearing exceptionally adorable in her slightly intoxicated state.
Ahead was a long bench where Mo Shiting simply sat down with her in his lap.
Gu Li obediently sat on his lap, allowing him to hold her.
Mo Shiting held her by the waist, rested his chin on her shoulder, and asked in a deep voice: “How much did you drink?”
“Three glasses of beer, I’m not drunk.”
The girl answered sweetly, “I’m just tired.”
“Tired?”
Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow.
He hadn’t slept for the whole night, but he would not admit to being tired.
While she, who slept so much every day, was truly a little sleeping piglet.
“Mm-hmm, I’m sleepy, Brother Ting, let me sleep a bit more.”
Gu Li nodded, then leaned into his embrace, closing her eyes once again.
Not too long after, she fell into deep sleep again.
Mo Shiting:”…”
An outsider would think she was drinking sleeping pills, not beer!
Returning to Blue Sky Blue Sea, it was already midnight.
Mo Shiting initially wanted to carry her back to the bedroom, but remembering
the promise he’d made, he eventually carried her to the guest room.
Of course, he stayed there too.
Spending the night holding her contentedly, he surprisingly overslept the next morning.
When Gu Li woke up and realized that she was lying next to him with her head
on his arm, she couldn’t help but stare in surprise.
What happened?
She only remembered going to the barbecue with Da Ha last night. How did she
end up in Mo Shiting’s bed when she woke up?
No, that s not right. This was the guest room, her own bed.
But that’s not the point, the point is, with such a large bed in the bedroom, why didn’t he go back to sleep instead of squeezing in with her?
Or perhaps, carry her back to his room would also do…
