Chapter 546: Chapter 375: A Grown Woman Can’t Stay at Home_1
Mo Shiting looked at Gu Li nervously, worried that she would be persuaded by Tang Wan to wait until she is 25 to marry him.
The next moment, Gu Li’s clear voice, reminiscent of an oriole soaring from a valley, echoed out, “Mommy, I like the learning atmosphere at Imperial City University, and I hope to complete my studies there. As for marriage, whether or not I get married, I’ll always be your daughter. What’s the difference?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Shiting instantly felt relieved, gazing at Gu Li with a gentler look.
How could he not love such a considerate Pear?
Seeing her daughter’s insistence on returning, Tang Wan didn’t hold her back any longer. She pinched Gu Li’s nose jokingly, saying softly, “Such grown up women can’t be held back. Alright then, you two go back to Hua Country first. Once I’ve settled my affairs here, I’ll come and visit you, and perhaps stay for a while.”
“Really? That’s great.”
Gu Li was beyond thrilled.
“Hehe.”
Seeing her daughter so happy, Tang Wan couldn’t help but feel incredibly pleased with herself.
The next morning, Mo Shiting took Gu Li onto a flight back home.
This time it was just the two of them returning, with Lu Yang staying behind to handle business.
After more than ten hours of flight, they landed at Capital City International Airport.
Just after passing the security check, Da Ha was already waiting for them at the exit.
The tall and handsome young man stood out in the crowd with his dazzling golden hair, attracting many admiring glances.
Gu Li spotted him at first glance.
Da Ha, too, spotted Gu Li and Mo Shiting at the same time, immediately waved with excitement,
“Boss, brother-in-law, over here, over here.”
He rushed forward, eagerly took over the luggage cart from Mo Shiting, and said to Gu Li with a grin, “Boss, I’ve missed you so much.”
Gu Li, doubtful, retorted, “Really? But you didn’t even call me.”
Da Ha bitterly explained, “I’ve been busy, working like a spinning top every day. I’ve even lost two pounds.”
Gu Li, “Hmm.”
Mo Shiting, more understanding of his brother-in-law, said, “You’ve worked hard.” With that, Da Ha was so touched that he almost gave him a bear hug—but of course, he dare not.
Once out of the airport and in the car, with Da Ha as the driver, the couple finally got some privacy.
So, Da Ha, who was currently serving as Mo Shiting’s assistant, didn’t rush to start driving, but first reported his work to Mo Shiting: “Over the years, Shen He has abused his power for personal gain, providing illicit benefits to several conglomerates. The evidence has been gathered and can be handed over to the authorities at any time.”
“Go ahead.”
Mo Shiting responded casually. He was not surprised at this outcome at all.
While Gu Li was messaging Murong Qian, she overheard their conversation, so she looked up curiously and asked, “Shen He? Who’s that?”
“Shen Yunsi’s father.”
Mo Shiting informed her.
“Oh.”
She knew that Shen Yunsi’s father held a high position and was Old Master Mo’s prized student. She just momentarily forgot that his name was Shen He.
Da Ha chuckled, “No way, Boss. You don’t even know who Shen He is? He’s one of the upcoming mayoral candidates.”
Gu Li glanced at him. “So what? I don’t mingle in those circles, why should I care about who he is? Right, Brother Ting?”
“Mm.”
Mo Shiting nodded lightly, “Whatever my baby says is always right.”
“Exactly.”
With a pout, Gu Li looked quite smug.
She was so adorable that Mo Shiting couldn’t resist. He leaned in, cupped her little face, and planted a passionate kiss on her.
Da Ha, who got an unexpected face full of PDA: “…”
He shouldn’t be in the driver’s seat, he should be under the car.
Forget about it, he should start driving.
While witnessing their sweet moment, Da Ha started up the engine.
The car was smoothly driven towards the city, Gu Li asks Mo Shiting, “You want to take down Shen He? Because of Shen Yunsi?”
“Yes.”
Mo Shiting did not deny it.
Wasn’t Shen Yunsi’s outrageous bravery simply a result of relying on the power of the Shen family?
If the Shen family were to fall, she, as Miss Shen, would be nothing.
Of course, the Shen family was not entirely innocent.
“Won’t this upset grandfather?”
Gu Li couldn’t help but ask.
She was worried that Old Master Mo would blame Mo Shiting for the Shen family’s affairs and that Shen He might endanger the Old Master. After all, he was someone Old Master Mo had personally built up.
Mo Shiting assured her, “No, Old Master Mo and he are not on the same path.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
Only then was Gu Li reassured.
…
At the Mo Family Villa.
“Old Master, Young Master, and Young Madam have returned.”
Old Master Mo had just finished a set of Tai Chi and was preparing to continue when Uncle Guan came rushing to report.
Upon hearing that the young couple had returned to the country, his spirits immediately lifted, “Really?”
“Yes. The Young Master’s car just entered the gates. The gatekeeper called to notify us, so I rushed to tell you straight away.”
Uncle Guan explained while panting for breath.
Old Master Mo haughtily scoffed, “They finally deigned to return. I thought they were going to settle overseas, forgetting where their real home is.”
Uncle Guan laughed and helped him, “The Young Master used to go overseas often, but I didn’t see you fretting like this then.”
Old Master Mo immediately refuted him, “That’s not the same. He was on his own, free to go wherever he wished, but he must not lead my Little Pear astray.”
Uncle Guan: “…”
It seemed like the Old Master got it backward, right?
After all, wasn’t it well known that the Young Madam’s family was in A Nation? If anyone was being led away, shouldn’t it be the Young Madam leading the Young Master astray?
Of course, Uncle Guan never dared to say these words in front of Old Master Mo.
Returning to the main house, Old Master Mo had just sat down and taken a sip of hot tea when Mo Shiting and Gu Li gracefully arrived.
“Grandfather—”
Gu Li’s bright voice preceded her into the room.
“Ah, Little Pear, you’re here.”
Old Master Mo immediately put down his teacup and happily responded.
As his words fell, the two of them hand in hand, entered the room.
Handsome man and beautiful woman, a perfect match no matter how you looked at it.
Soon the two of them arrived in front of him.
Gu Li waved the bag in her hand like a prized possession, her eyes curving like crescents as she said, “Grandfather, Ting and I brought you some pastries from M Country. They’re really delicious! Sweet but not overwhelming, they pair perfectly with your favorite Da Hong Pao tea.”
“Is that so? Let me have a look.”
Old Master Mo could never resist sweets. Upon hearing there were pastries, his eyes lit up instantly.
“Alright. Grandfather, have a taste of this mung bean cake. Don’t you find it more delicate than the ones we make here?”
“And this chestnut cake, it’s also pretty good.”
“Also, try this handmade wine-filled chocolate.”
…
Gu Li, too, loved these small pastries, and she got along splendidly with Old Master Mo.
While sipping tea and enjoying the pastries, they chatted joyfully.
Seeing this, Mo Shiting couldn’t help but smile.
After having dinner with Old Master Mo, he then remembered something crucial and addressed Mo Shiting with a grave face, “Today, Gu Yuan personally called to inquire about your marriage. You need to find some time to visit A Nation to pay him a visit.”
