Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Chapter 425: Chapter 321 Past Life Events_l

“No, it’s nothing.”

Gu Li immediately opened her eyes and held her breath as she looked at the photo.

She was full of anticipation, really thinking she would see what her master looked like when he was young. She even had in mind how to talk to Brother Ting about this. However, she never thought that the face in the picture would be a stranger’s.

It’s not my Master…

Gu Li felt an overwhelming sense of disappointment, unconsciously gripping the photo tightly.

Mo Shiting watched her and felt more and more that something was off about her. He couldn’t help but furrow his brows, “Did you know my father?”

“Huh?”

Gu Li was startled by his question and quickly denied it, “No, I don’t know him.”

“Tang Tang!”

His tone suddenly became serious,”! hope you won’t hide anything from me.”

“I…I didn’t hide anything from you.”

Gu Li hesitated for a moment then finally decided to tell him the truth, “Actually, I always thought my master was your father. But only today, when I saw this picture, did I realize that I was mistaken.”

As she spoke, Gu Li’s eyes dimmed, “But their handwriting was almost identical, and my master was also a highly talented architectural designer just like your father. Both were amazingly talented. He…he…why isn’t he my master…! really thought your father wasn’t dead.”

At this point, she couldn’t hold back her tears and she started to cry.

Uncertain if this was because she couldn’t find her own master, or because she confirmed, once again, how slight Mo Shiting’s father’s chances were of surviving a plane crash…

“Alright, don’t cry.”

Mo Shiting took out a tissue to wipe her tears, trying to lighten the mood, “Your eyes already look like a panda’s. If you keep crying, you might be locked up in a zoo.”

“Pfft     ”

Gu Li, who had been crying her eyes out, suddenly burst into laughter at his absurd joke, “You’re so annoying, where do I look like a panda?”

Mo Shiting teased with a faint smile, “Don’t you? Why don’t I get a mirror for you to take a look?”

After saying this, he pretended to reach for a mirror.

Gu Li immediately hugged him, “No, don’t!”

As she spoke, she playfully wiped her tears on his shirt.

Amused by her childish action, Mo Shiting laughed. There was infinite softness in his eyes, “Alright, I won’t go!”

“Mmm…”

Gu Li nestled in his embrace, listening to his steady heartbeat, her emotions gradually soothing, “I’m sorry, Brother Ting, did I remind you of your past sorrows?”

Mo Shiting pursed his lips and replied in a light voice, “It’s okay. I’ve long accepted the fact that he’s not here anymore. You won’t affect me.”

Although he came across as calm and collected, Gu Li knew that it was impossible for him not to feel something.

Brother Ting was probably just trying to not make her feel bad, wasn’t he?

It was all her fault for having such bad emotional control.

Thinking of this, Gu Li stood on her tiptoes and kissed him softly, saying in a sweet voice, “Brother Ting, I’m a bit tired. Should we go to bed?”

“Okay.”

Mo Shiting nodded slightly, easily lifting her into his arms.

On the way back to the room, Gu Li’s heart pounded wildly. He surely must have understood her subtly suggestive hint, right?

The reality proved that he might have misunderstood.

As soon as they entered, he put Gu Li on the sofa and affectionately rubbed her fair, soft face. “I’ll prepare a bath for you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Li to respond, he strode quickly toward the bathroom.

After a while, he came out and considerately said to her, “Wait a few minutes, and the bath will be ready. I have a meeting to take care of. You go to sleep first.”

“Oh, okay.”

Gu Li hadn’t expected her first active attempt to end in his unsuspecting way. All she could do was sigh to herself.

Mo Shiting really did have work to do and quickly left thereafter.

Gu Li walked into the bathroom, at this time the bathtub was filled with water up to her bathing height.

On top of the water were layers of rose petals releasing a pleasant aroma.

Seeing all this, her mood is inexplicably improved.

She took off her clothes and settled herself into the bathtub, comfortably soaking in the hot water, she even started playing a drama on her phone.

However, before she could really settle down to watch the drama, she received a call from Murong Qian.

“Sister, happy Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Gu Li greeted her sweetly.

Murong Qian laughed, “Happy Mid-Autumn Festival. I’ve got some good news that I want to share with you.”

“What good news?”

Gu Li’s curiosity was piqued.

“I’ve got a month’s vacation coming up. I can come to Hua Country to visit you.” “Why do you have another vacation?”

Gu Li doubted, “You’re a popular celebrity, and yet you keep taking off.. Isn’t that unprofessional?”
