Gu Li walked past her, sat down on the sofa and elegantly crossed her legs, but did not say a word for a while.

Yi Bing, growing impatient, stepped forward, “I thought my plan was foolproof, how did you manage to discover it?”

Gu Li raised an eyebrow, “Tell me, who’s behind this? Then maybe, I’ll consider answering your question.”

Yi Bing clenched her fist and took a deep breath, “No one is behind this. It was my own decision.”

Strictly speaking, that was indeed the case.

Everything was her idea and had nothing to do with Miss Yunsi.

Yi Bing added further, “Imperial City University is one of the top universities in the world, with an acceptance rate of less than two percent in the Architecture Department. As Young Madam, you never even attended high school, and yet you foolishly applied there. Isn’t this only because you have the title of the young mistress of the Mo family?”

Gu Li was speechless. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She may not have studied outside, but her knowledge surpasses that of a high school student, okay?

Applying to Imperial City University is considered overstepping one’s abilities?

It seems that this Yi Bing really doesn’t understand her at all.

As Yi Bing saw her pursing her lips without a word, she weighed in righteously, “Right now, the entirety of the internet knows that you’re Young Master Mo’s wife. Your every move is watched intensely. If your scores are low and get reported by the media, how would Young Master Mo be ridiculed? He is the nation’s heartthrob, netizens surely wouldn’t want his wife to be just a pretty face with no substance. I’m doing this out of consideration for your reputation.”

“So, you drugged me for my own good?”

Gu Li sneered.

This logic is utterly splendid!

Yi Bing nodded, “Yes! Even if you don’t take the exam, with Young Master Mo’s ability, you could easily get into Imperial City University if you wished. My methods may be disreputable, but rather than letting you both be ridiculed on the internet, I chose to stop you this way.”

Even up to now, Yi Bing still didn’t feel like she’d done anything wrong.

Gu Li’s beautiful eyes shifted, then suddenly asked, “You like Mo Shiting, don’t you?”

“How is that even possible?!”

Yi Bing instantly changed her visage, “With my status, how could I ever aspire to like Young Master Mo?”

“So you don’t like him?”

“Young Madam, this is not a joke one should make!”

Yi Bing widened her eyes, somewhat angry.

Gu Li laughed, “Then aren’t you overly concerned about our affairs? Aren’t you meddling too much? Whether Mo Shiting and I make a fool of ourselves has nothing to do with you, does it?”

“So someone told you to do this, correct?”

Gu Li unexpectedly probed.

Of course, she knew that Yi Bing couldn’t possibly harbor improper thoughts about Mo Shiting. And a normal bodyguard wouldn’t dare to meddle so much unless someone had given her the idea!

It seemed that this person behind the scenes had really gone through a lot of trouble just to prevent her from becoming a student of Imperial City University.

Who was it that couldn’t bear to see her succeed?

Yi Bing stated without hesitation, “It was my own decision. You can deal with me however you see fit.”

Seeing that she still refused to reveal the person behind this, Gu Li’s eyes flashed mysteriously. After a moment of silence, she said, “You work for Hawk, so it’s not my place to decide your punishment. But for now, please leave. I don’t need your protection.”

Anyone else might have just left, but not Yi Bing, “Young Madam, until Young Master Li gives me the order to retreat, I must stay and protect you. It’s my duty.”

“Your way of protecting me is to drug me with sleeping pills? Well, that’s pretty unique.”

Gu Li couldn’t help but mock her.

Although Yi Bing felt rather embarrassed, she insisted, “Young Madam, I did this for your own good. I hope you seriously consider my advice and not participate in the exam tomorrow..”
