Chapter 16 - 16: Do you still want me to carry you into the house? !

The sweet utterance of “Brother Ting” inadvertently stirred the latent chord in Mo Shiting’s heart again.

Even though he knew she couldn’t be Tang Tang, he still couldn’t help but turn his body to glance at her under the dim light in the car.

His gaze involuntarily fell on her delicate face. The girl had very beautiful features, particularly her plump pink lips, which were as inviting as jelly…

Perhaps the alcohol was taking effect, he unexpectedly lost control and lowered his head, his handsome face drawing closer to hers. However, just as their lips were about to touch, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang, effectively dissipating his infatuation…

Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

The next day, Gu Li woke up with a sore back and aching waist.

It was already bright outside, sunlight refracted through the car window and sprinkled onto her face.

As she opened her eyes and found herself sitting in the car, she was taken aback. Once reality hit, she exploded in anger.

The heartless Mo Shiting, had he just left her behind without even waking her up?

And to think she felt somewhat warmed by his “dominating protection” of her the night before, but, in the end…

She had wasted her whole heart on nothing. What a jerk!

Gu Li rubbed her numb shoulder, mentally cursing someone while pushing the car door open and getting out.

As she entered the room through the garden, she saw the man sitting at the dining table, gracefully enjoying his meal.

He seems to be really enjoying his food.

No wonder he’s still single!

Gu Li pursed her lips, hitched up her skirt, straightened her back, and walked over with her head held high.

“Mo Shiting, explain to me why you left me in the car!”

Mo Shiting looked at her upon hearing her voice.

Seeing the girl’s disheveled hair and her cute, puffed-up face that was both adorable and comical, a glint flashed across his narrow, dark eyes.

As she came closer, he reverted to his usual cold demeanor: “What? Did you want me to carry you into the house?”

Gu Li was taken aback by his words. After about two seconds, she finally said, “If you want to carry me, I wouldn’t mind.”

Mo Shiting: “In your dreams!”

Gu Li: “Humph!”

“Young Madam, you’re back. Have you had breakfast? Shall I prepare it for you?”

Auntie Guan walked in from outside, interrupting the interaction between the two.

Gu Li turned and smiled at her, “Yes please, thank you Auntie Guan. I’ll go freshen up first.”

After saying that, she threw a disgruntled glare at Mo Shiting before picking up her skirt again and brushing off towards the stairs.

Watching Gu Li’s graceful figure, Auntie Guan couldn’t help exclaiming, “Young Madam is incredibly beautiful, lively and adorable. Young Master, you’re truly fortunate!”

Mo Shiting:”…”

Gu Li came downstairs after freshening up, but Mo Shiting was no longer at home.

Good. Seeing him would only make her angry.

Gu Li cheerfully finishes her breakfast.

Today she had to go to the television station to record the show “Charming Female Stars”. Before leaving the house, Gu Li changed into a chic-designed dress.

The dress was custom-made for her by Mo Shiting. Wearing it lent her an ethereal, fairy-like charm, making her look very pretty.

Upon arriving at the television station, Da Ha was already waiting for her.

After meeting with the director and producer, Gu Li realised that she had been hoodwinked by Da Ha.

She wasn’t just a guest for a single episode. She was here to be a mentor.

What?

An amateur like her, mentoring a group of popular actresses?

Has the world gone mad?

Stepping out of the director’s office, Gu Li took the show’s running order, rolled it into a tube, and hit Da Ha with it: “I trusted you, signed the contract without really looking at it, and you dug such a big hole for me? I’ll kill you!”

Da Ha groveled, “Boss, I was wrong…I was wrong. But if I told you the truth, you definitely wouldn’t have agreed to come. Didn’t I do this so that we could find your master sooner?”

At the mention of her master, Gu Li’s mood shifted abruptly. She had no more energy to hit Da Ha.

Seeing this, Da Ha promptly tried to console her: “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. I believe in your intelligence and wisdom; you will definitely be able to handle the group of actresses..”
