“Let’s talk about it later.”

Seeing that Murong Si was determined not to let her leave, Gu Li believed even more in Gu Susu’s words.

It seems, she must leave quietly tonight.

“Little Pear, don’t be upset.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Seeing her angry and unhappy, Murong Si gently coaxed her, “If you feel bored, why not—”

“I’m not bored!”

Gu Li promptly interrupted him, “I’m tired and I want to rest. Brother Si, please leave.”

After speaking, she stood up, making a move to chase him out.

“Little Pear…”

Murong Si pursed his lips, still persistent, wanting to chat with her a little more, but seeing her obviously angry, he wisely retreated and left.

The door closed from outside, and Gu Li’s tense face relaxed.

Her round eyes darted around, and she decisively picked up her phone to call Mo Shiting.

However, the result was still the same; no one answered.

Should she try to reach her cousin?

She hasn’t been in much contact with Murong Qian lately, only knowing that her cousin was shortlisted for Director Desen’s leading lady a few days ago and was asked to participate in an intensive training session.

Trying to reach her now might be just as unsuccessful.

With a ‘let’s try it’ attitude, Gu Li dialed Murong Qian’s number, unexpectedly, Murong Qian answered.

“Little Pear, are you adjusting well to your stay at the Murong Manor?”

“It’s okay.”

Gu Li smiled lightly, “And you, isn’t the special training very tough?”

“It’s pretty tough, but this little bit of hardship is nothing.”

Murong Qian talked while wiping her sweat.

Gu Li hesitated for a moment before asking her, “By the way, cousin, have you had any news about my Brother Ting recently?”

Murong Qian chuckled lightly: “Come on, Little Pear. You’re his wife, and you’re asking me if I know about Mo Shiting’s situation? I’m in intensive training, they don’t let us use our phones usually. Where am I supposed to ask around?”

“Oh.”

Unable to get any news, Gu Li listlessly replied.

Murong Qian instantly sensed something was wrong, “What’s happened? Did the two of you have a fight?”

“No.”

Gu Li’s face fell.

“Then…”

“Cousin, if I don’t go back to Hua Country with Brother Ting to cancel the divorce registration at the civil affairs bureau tomorrow, we will no longer be husband and wife.”

“What?”

Murong Qian was even more confused after hearing it, “So what are you waiting for? Hurry back.”

“But, I’ve lost contact with Brother Ting and… I can’t find him these past few days.”

Speaking of this, Gu Li felt more and more wronged.

Murong Qian blinked her curly eyelashes, and after a few seconds, advised, “Don’t worry. I can tell, Mo Shiting really likes you. He must be too busy, or he was hindered by something, that’s why he lost contact with you.”

“Is that really the case? You’re not just comforting me?”

Gu Li was somewhat unsure.

Murong Qian gripped the phone, sincerely saying, “It’s true, it’s not a comfort. Besides, it only takes a few hours to fly from A Nation to Hua Country. If I were you, I’d hurry up and pack my things, fly back and get this straightened out. Staying here and letting your imagination run wild is more likely to lead to trouble.”

“You’re right, I’m going to fly and find him tonight.”

Gu Li suddenly saw the light and smiled.

In order not to arouse Murong Si’s suspicions, Gu Li had to appear emotionally stable all day long. On the surface, she seemed unusually calm, but no one knew just how anxious she was to fly back to Hua Country and find Mo Shiting.

After dinner, Gu Li returned to her room.

After anxiously waiting for about half an hour, Gu Susu sneaked in.

Who knows if it’s because she watches too much TV, but she even dressed in a set of black night clothes.

Gu Li almost laughed out loud, “Aren’t you being a bit too dramatic? Are you trying to mimic a TV show?”

Gu Susu shrugged, “Who doesn’t have a dream of being an actor? If it weren’t for the fact that becoming an actor would delay my marriage to Brother Si, I would have learned acting long ago.”

Gu Li was surprised, “What does becoming an actor have to do with you marrying Brother Si?”

“Forget about it, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

Gu Susu looked disgusted, then gave Gu Li a look, “Where’s your luggage?”

“I have no luggage. I’m not even taking my phone.”

Gu Li answered seriously.

The phone was given by Murong Si. She wasn’t sure if he might have installed a tracking device in it. To avoid exposing her whereabouts, it was safer to leave it behind.

She would buy another one when she returned to Hua Country.

Gu Susu: “Alright. Let’s go quickly.”

“Thank you.”

Gu Susu felt a bit awkward and deliberately put on a stern face to warn: “You remember this, don’t try to seduce Brother Si anymore, or I won’t let it go!”
