Chapter 379: Chapter 305 Gu. Self-love. Gu Li 3
He stood tall, a prominent figure among the crowd that naturally drew attention, particularly from the ladies there.
While the audience was dazzled by him, they were deterred by his apparent air of aloofness. Even though they were immensely curious about him, none dared to approach him.
Besides, they noticed an attractive young lady standing beside him – their match was aesthetic and appealing.
A handsome boy indeed, but always someone else’s.
Opposite the plaza was a three-storey bridal shop, its large logo was particularly eye-catching.
Mo Shiting noticed it right away.
Looking at the wedding dresses displayed in the shop window, his heart stirred a little as he glanced at Gu Li by his side, who was engrossed in the music.
“Darling?”
He tugged lightly at her hand, calling her.
“What is it?”
She turned her head, looking puzzled.
Mo Shiting: “Let’s go over to the opposite side and take a look.”
“Huh?”
Gu Li was pulled away from the crowd before she could comprehend where they were going.
As they reached the entrance of the lavish bridal shop, she suddenly understood – did he want her to try on bridal dresses?
Pah! He had not even proposed yet. If she obediently went in with him now, wouldn’t that be making things too easy for him?
She refused to be trapped by him so easily.
Just as she was about to refuse to enter the shop, it was as if the man before her knew what she was thinking – he actually knelt down on one knee in front of her.
W-He…
Gu Li’s eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing.
My gosh, was he proposing to her?
This casual proposal, should she accept it?
Oh my, my…
Her heart pounded so fast she felt like it was going to leap out of her throat.
Gu Li nervously clutched her handbag, struggling to swallow.
One, two, three…
Why was he still not speaking?
Was he also as nervous as she was?
Then, while waiting for him to propose, Gu Li couldn’t help but look down, only to find out that, he was just tying her shoelaces.
Gu Li: “…”
Mo Shiting was oblivious to Gu Li’s elaborate misconception of a proposal scene.
He just noticed her shoelaces were undone and naturally, he tied them for her.
“Done. Let’s go in.”
He stood up, trying to hold Gu Li’s hand, but she brushed it away.
“What’s wrong?”
The girl’s sudden detachment puzzled him.
With a serious expression, Gu Li said, “I’m going back to school.”
“Back to school?”
Mo Shiting was dumbfounded.
What’s the point of going back to school at this hour?
Was she playing hard to get?
Have I done something wrong?
“Didn’t we agree to go back to Blue Sky Blue Sea together?”
“I don’t want to go with you anymore. I hate you, hmph!”
After saying this, Gu Li turned around and walked back towards the plaza, completely ignoring him.
Mo Shiting: “???”
Realizing what just happened, he quickly chased after her.
Hearing his hurried footsteps behind her, Gu Li bit her lip, walked faster and even started to jog.
Hmph, stinky Mo Shiting, Dead Mo Shiting, if I talk to you again, I’m a pig!
While sternly blaming Mo Shiting in her heart, she wasn’t paying attention to her path and collided with someone.
“I’m sorry!”
Gu Li quickly apologized, looked up, and saw a familiar face.
Boom!
It was Gu Zuo.
No good could come out of his sudden appearance.
Gu Li took a step back and asked guardedly, “What are you doing here?”
“Miss, the Family Head has arrived and wishes to see you and Young Master Mo.”
Gu Zuo bowed respectfully, revealing the purpose of his visit.
Her father was here?
Was he still hoping to separate her from Brother Ting?
Gu Li’s eyes flickered as her lips pursed.
Just then, Mo Shiting caught up.
He quickly pulled her into his arms, giving Gu Zuo a cold glance, “Lead the way.”
About five minutes later, the two were led by Gu Zuo to a nearby quaint teahouse.
The teahouse was reserved, with only a few employees and no other customers.
Outside the teahouse, guards dressed in plain clothes stood watch, clearly to protect Gu Yuan from potential danger.
Gu Yuan was seated at the round table with the best view, sipping his tea elegantly.
Catching sight of Gu Li and Mo Shiting from the corner of his eyes, he set his teacup down, glancing at them casually,”Please, have a seat.”
Mo Shiting politely nodded at him as if to exchange greetings, then led Gu Li to sit opposite him.
Once seated, Gu Li, unable to contain herself, eagerly asked, “Father, what are you doing here?”
Gu Yuan placed two cups of freshly brewed tea in front of them, and in a deep voice, he counterquestioned, “You tell me?”
Gu Li gripped Mo Shiting’s arm tightly, raised her chin defiantly and said, “If you’re here to separate Brother Ting and me, then you might as well dismiss the idea. I will never leave him, no matter what. The same goes for Brother Ting – he will never leave me!”
