Mo Shiting finished speaking, didn’t wait for Gu Li to react, and headed straight out the door.

Seeing this, Gu Li had no choice but to hastily say goodbye to Lu Cong and ran after him.

“Mo Shiting, wait for me.”

Gu Li, with her short legs, chased him all the way, finally busting into the elevator just as the doors were about to close.

They were the only two people in the elevator.

Seeing Mo Shiting’s solemn face, his eyes not even giving her a glance, Gu Li’s eyes darted around, and suddenly she grabbed his hand.

Mo Shiting was slightly startled, eventually turning his head to see her smiling brightly at him, “Thank you for bringing me to the hospital. Brother Ting, I’m really flattered by your concern for me.”

The girl continued to speak, linking her pinky with his, her soft voice was particularly sweet, especially when she called him “Brother Ting”, which was sweeter than honey.

Mo Shiting stared at her, unable to look away at first, and didn’t pull his hand away immediately from hers.

“Brother Ting?”

Gu Li sweetly called him again, deliberately rubbing the back of his hand with her fingertips.

Seeing that he didn’t refuse, she gently moved closer to him, until they were standing face to face.

“Brother Ting, how should I repay you?”

Hmph, you fell for my beauty trick, I’ll show you!

The girl raised her face, her beautiful apricot eyes sparkling brightly.

Mo Shiting watched her, his gaze heavy, and didn’t miss the brief flash of cunning in the depths of her eyes.

What was she up to now?

Was she seeking revenge for what happened last night and this morning?

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she raised her right foot, aiming a kick at his calf.

Mo Shiting dodged her attack, gripped her shoulders, and pushed her against the elevator wall.

Caught off guard by the speed of his actions, Gu Li was shocked.

It wasn’t until a second later that she realized he saw through her intentions from the start, and he was just silently watching her performance.

How could he do this…

Furious and embarrassed, Gu Li glared at him, “You tricked me!”

As soon she finished speaking, she swung her fist towards his shoulder.

Mo Shiting accurately grabbed her rebellious fist, stopping her movement.

Gu Li didn’t give up and attempted to knee him.

Her movement was swift and fierce, almost hitting the vulnerable part of him, but thankful he evaded in time.

This girl, she’s trying to kill him!

As he cornered her in the elevator, Mo Shiting grabbed her chin and his handsome face was shrouded in darkness: “Gu Li, my patience has its limits. Don’t dare to try it again or there’ll be no mercy!”

“Who… told you to play tricks on me?”

Her voice was a little meek, just realizing she almost hurt his “treasure”, and she started to feel guilty.

“Play tricks on you? Who started it first?”

Being manipulated into marriage is his disgrace, and it won’t be easily forgotten.

Every time he thought of it, Mo Shiting couldn’t help but feel anger, intermittently dealing with his fits of rage.

As his firm grip on her chin caused her pain, Gu Li cringed, “I know I was wrong. Manipulating you was wrong, but indirectly at least I helped you out, can’t we just call it even?”

“Call it even? You wish!”

“Then how long are you going to hold a grudge? How are you planning to torment me…”

Gu Li’s eyes welled up with tears.

All these years, no matter how big the difficulties she faced, she always kept a positive attitude and never shed a tear. However, surprisingly, she had been driven to tears twice by him in just a few days.

Bad guy!

As a kid, he said he would protect her when they grew up, but now, he has completely forgotten about her, hasn’t he?

Heartless!

Who was the reason behind her manipulation of his marriage in the first place?

If she had known, she wouldn’t have get involved and let him live or die! Waah…

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, her tears falling harder, splashing his hand, and silently seeping into his heart..
