“So you care nothing for her safety?”

“I will protect her!”

“Bang ”

Gu Yuan slapped the table hard, “With what will you protect her?”

Mo Shiting stood up and replied, each word clear and concise: “With my life!” “Your life?”

Gu Yuan scoffed again, “If it weren’t for Prince Dori arriving in time, do you think you would still be alive?”

Mo Shiting:”…”

In fact, Dori’s appearance there was something he had arranged in advance.

However, there was no need to tell Gu Yuan about this.

Seeing his silence, Gu Yuan insisted, “I’ll repeat myself. I disapprove of Gu Li being with you and this time, I won’t let you take her away.”

His attitude was within Mo Shiting’s expectations, but Mo Shiting did not yield,

“Then I can also tell you very clearly, Gu Li is my wife, and will be for the rest of her life.”

Having said this, he suddenly bowed deeply to Gu Yuan, his handsome face sincere, “Please trust me this time, I will definitely protect your daughter.”

Gu Yuan:

An impasse was reached after a long period of stalemate with no conclusion.

With a mix of emotions in his heart, Gu Yuan waved his hand loosely, “You may leave. We’ll talk after tomorrow.”

Noticing the softening in his demeanor, Mo Shiting decided to quit while he was ahead, and strode out of the study.

Elsewhere.

Upon learning that Gu Li had brought Mo Shiting to the Gu family, Murong Si was furious.

He drove to the Gu family’s residence at top speed. Without waiting for an announcement, he stormed in.

At this point, Gu Li was just applying medicine.

Seeing her injured knee and hands, Murong Si was distressed.

The Red Flame Hall, with its numerous men and weapons, had met with a miserable defeat and had failed to harm even a single hair on Mo Shiting’s head. Instead, it had resulted in injuries to his Little Pear.

However, on second thought, these injuries were all thanks to Mo Shiting, making him wish more than ever to eliminate Mo Shiting.

“Little Pear?? ”

Suppressing the waves of anger in his heart, Murong Si composed himself and greeted Gu Li with a smile.

After applying the bandage to her knee, Gu Li looked up and smiled at Murong Si, “Brother Si, it’s you. What brings you here?”

“I heard that you and Mo Shiting had come to the Gu family, so I decided to stop by and see you.”

Murong Si’s residence was not far from the Gu family, and it was common for him to drop by.

Believing his words, Gu Li nodded in acknowledgment: “Oh.”

“By the way, where is Uncle?”

Looking around and seeing neither Gu Yuan nor Mo Shiting, he couldn’t help but ask.

“In the study.”

Gu Li answered truthfully.

A glimmer of dark light flashed in Murong Si’s eyes. Without guessing, he knew that Gu Yuan was probably confronting Mo Shiting.

“Let me help you.”

The palm of Gu Li’s right hand was grazed and it was a bit inconvenient for her to apply bandages with her left hand. Murong Si simply sat next to her, picked up a band-aid, and carefully applied it for her.

“Thank you.”

Gu Li gave a sincere smile.

Her smile was frank and straightforward, without a hint of ambiguity. But unluckily, Mo Shiting saw it.

Seeing her smile so happily at another man, Mo Shiting pursed his lips, feeling somewhat upset.

While he understood that she probably didn’t have romantic feelings for Murong Si, he still found it a bit irritating.

“Gu Li??? ”

He intentionally called her name, breaking up their pleasant conversation.

At the sound of his voice, Gu Li immediately turned her head, “Brother Ting

The girl’s tone was bright and lively, dispelling Mo Shiting’s slight displeasure.

“Did you finish applying the medicine?”

Mo Shiting strode over, pointed to a spot farther away, “Move over a bit.”

“Okay.”

Gu Li obediently did as he said, moving a little further away from Murong Si.

Mo Shiting then took her place between them, separating the two.

Murong Si’s handsome face turned as black as coal.

But Mo Shiting was in exceptionally good spirits.

Being blocked by Mo Shiting and unable to see Gu Li, Murong Si irritably stood up and moved to the other side.

There were no seats available there, so he stood, his hands in his pockets and said to Gu Li: “Little Pear, Murong Qian and I are having dinner tonight. Would you like to join us?”

“No, I need to rest.”

Gu Li declined directly.

Although she also wanted to see her cousin, after today’s thrilling life or death escape, she wanted to spend time alone with Brother Ting.

Oh, wouldn’t that be a bit too much favoring the lover over kin?

But surely, Sister Qian would understand her.

Gu Li comforted herself.

Murong Si clenched his fists.

At this moment, Mo Shiting was helping Gu Li stand up, “Isn’t it time for you to give me a tour of your room?”

“Sure, sure.”

Gu Li agreed with a cheerful smile, “Let’s go, then.”

At this point, she suddenly turned back to look at Murong Si, “Brother Si, let’s have dinner with my cousin another day. I’m tired today.”

“Okay.”

Murong Si smiled lightly, quickly hiding the murderous intent in his eyes..
