Despite being a little disappointed, Mo Shiting still replied, “Okay.”

Right after hitting send, he added, “Do you need me to pick you up?”

Gu Li instantly returned a “no need” + “smiley face”.

Seeing the messages, Mo Shiting replied, “Come home early.”

Since the candlelit dinner plan fell through, Mo Shiting decided to break the news of leaving work on time and continued to work overtime in the office.

Imperial City Hotel.

Yi Bing parked the car in front of the hotel.

Just as Gu Li was about to get out of the car, Yi Bing stopped her, “Young

Madam, your hair is messy. Aren’t you going to fix it?”

“Ah? Really? Let me check.”

Gu Li quickly took out a small mirror from her bag for a look and indeed her hair was disheveled.

Because she had been leaning against the car window to sleep, her ponytail was a little askew.

“Thankyou for the reminder, Yi Bing.”

While removing her rubber band, Gu Li spoke to Yi Bing.

Yi Bing bowed slightly, “You’re welcome.”

Seeing Gu Li trying to fix her hair with her bare hands, Yi Bing’s gaze flickered, and she handed her a comb, “Use this, it’s more convenient than using your hands.”

Fortunately, she had worn a ponytail today, and the comb managed to serve its purpose.

“Alright.”

Without thinking much, Gu Li took the comb and started brushing her hair.

After fiddling for a while, she finally fixed her ponytail, which looked exceptionally fresh and clean.

“Thankyou for the comb.”

As Gu Li handed back the comb, she didn’t notice a few strands of her hair that were stuck to the comb’s bristles.

Yi Bing noticed but didn’t say anything. She put the comb away with a light smile, “I hope you have a pleasant meal tonight. I’ll be nearby and ready whenever you need.”

“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”

After saying this, Gu Li exited the car.

Yi Bing watched Gu Li’s graceful back as she left, her gaze deepened. Only after she saw Gu Li enter the hotel’s revolving door did she drive off.

Back in the parking lot, she pulled out the comb that Gu Li had used, carefully removed the strands of hair one by one, and sealed them in a bag, sighing in relief.

It took quite a while to complete the task, Miss Yunsi must be getting impatient.

Thinking of this, Yi Bing immediately texted Shen Yunsi, “Miss Yunsi, I’ve obtained the hair sample. How should I deliver it to you?”

Shen Yunsi replied quickly, “I’ll be back in the country tomorrow. You can give it to me in person.”

Hearing that she would be returning, Yi Bing was taken aback, “Are you coming back? That’s great.”

Shen Yunsi: “I’m secretly coming back for a few days. No one knows but you, don’t let it slip.”

[Understood.]

Yi Bing finished typing and quickly hit send, the corners of her mouth curving into a light smile.

Miss Yunsi was far too trusting of her, she had only revealed this secret visit back to the country to her alone. In the future, Yi Bing pledged to be fully committed to serving Miss Yunsi.

As for Gu Li…

After spending some time with her, Yi Bing found that Gu Li was a nice person who did not carry herself forcefully like a Young Madam. It was just that when compared to Miss Yunsi, she was still far behind.

In her heart, the only one capable of matching Young Master Mo was and always will be Miss Yunsi.

Gu Li had arranged to meet Doctor Duan on the third floor of the hotel’s restaurant.

Though it was dinner time, the restaurant was completely empty when Gu Li arrived.

The interior had an elegant decor, though a bit deserted at the moment.

However, Gu Li didn’t mind, she disliked places that were too noisy.

With plenty of comfortable seats available, Gu Li chose a booth next to the window and prepared to wait for Doctor Duan.

Not long after she sat down, out of the corner of her eye she noticed a tall figure striding towards her.

Gu Li instinctively raised her head, and met with a face incredibly familiar.

“Brother Si, why are you here?”

She exclaimed in shock, completely unprepared for Murong Si’s appearance here.

However, being smart, she quickly guessed that it must be Doctor Duan who asked him to come.

This old rascal, no wonder he was so secretive and kept Brother Ting from attending. He must have invited Brother Si in advance, fearing the two would conflict, right?

Tsk!

Was her Ting really such a petty and jealous person?

Seems so.

Gu Li thought to herself, reminiscing about Mo Shiting, the corners of her mouth curved up unconsciously.

Murong Si saw her expression and thought that seeing him had filled her with joy, hence he couldn’t help but beam, “Little Pear, I rushed to see you right after getting off the plane, are you moved?”

Gu Li replied with a hollow laugh, “Ha Ha, moved.”

“If you’re moved, treat me to a grand meal tonight.”

Murong Si didn’t hold back at all.

Gu Li gently nodded, “Of course, no problem. You’ve come from afar, as the host, it’s only right for me to treat you.”

With this statement, she clearly stated her position and gave Murong Si no room for fantasy.

Murong Si’s expression slightly changed.

Just at this moment, the waiter brought two glasses of lemon soda water.

Murong Si picked up a glass and took a sip, then further inquired, “I heard that you applied to the Imperial City University a few days ago. Are you planning to settle down in Capital City of Hua Country?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Gu Li didn’t hide anything and immediately replied, “I have already decided to stay here for long term.”

Drawing his hand into a fist around the glass, while restraining his anger towards her, Murong Si asked, “For Mo Shiting?”

Gu Li bit her lip slightly and honestly replied, “Yes and no. Studying architecture has always been my dream. And since Imperial City University’s architecture department is ranked first worldwide, naturally I’d want to graduate from here.”

In other words, even if she hadn’t managed to be with Mo Shiting, she would undoubtedly stay here to finish college.

“Are you so confident that you’ll get in?”Th.ê most uptodat𝓮 n𝒐vels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Gu Li responded with a determined face, “Of course, I do have that much confidence.”

Murong Si proudly said, “I knew it, my Little Pear is the best! Of course, my taste is extremely good too, for developing a fondness for such a cute and smart Little Pear.”

“Stop!”

Gu Li covered her ears with one hand and shoved her other hand out to stop his unwarranted declaration of affection, “Stop saying these irrelevant things. Why did you come to Hua Country?”

“Of course… I especially came to see you.”

Murong Si laughed enticingly, “Little Pear, you mustn’t be too moved.”

As he was talking, he leaned over and his right hand stretched across the table, catching Gu Li by surprise and grabbing her still-floating hand.

Quite coincidentally, this intimate gesture was seen by Mo Shiting who had just walked in.

On seeing Gu Li and Murong Si together, Mo Shiting was taken aback.

For a moment, he thought he was seeing things.

Didn’t she say that she was having dinner with an elder?

How did it become Murong Si now?

Could it be that she had lied to him?

This realization made him slightly displeased.

However, before he had time to brood over this displeasure, he saw Murong Si reaching out and boldly grabbing her delicate wrist.

Damn!

Mo Shiting narrowed his eyes, eyeing Murong Si’s offensive right hand, his eyes filled with rage.
