Gu Li instinctively hid behind a nearby pillar.

From her angle, she quickly saw a group of men enter her line of sight. Brother Ting…

Upon seeing Mo Shiting in the crowd, Gu Li’s eyes instantly reddened. She was on the verge of calling out.

She bit her lip hard, letting the longing inside her ferment uncontrollably.

That s enough, President Mo. We have reached here.”

A somewhat familiar male voice rang out, attracting Gu Li’s attention.

Gu Li looked towards the source of the sound, only to find it was Tang Yue.

He actually came to the company so quickly to discuss a partnership with Brother Ting, which shows his sincerity.

“Take care.”

Mo Shiting nodded politely.

Lu Yang, on the other hand, stepped forward and pressed the elevator’s down button.

The elevator just happened to stop on this floor, thus, the doors immediately opened.

Tang Yue, having thought of something, stood at the elevator entrance without stepping in. He said to Mo Shiting, “President Mo, you should have met my niece before. She is beautiful and talented, yet still single. What’s your impression of her?”

Just as Mo Shiting was about to answer, he noticed a small piece of clothing sticking out from behind a nearby pillar. His eyes grew slightly colder.

However, he soon regained his composure and offered Tang Yue a faint smile. “Not bad.”

Not bad?

Are you sure?

Lu Yang, who was standing to the side, was bemused.

If he remembered correctly, the young master didn’t even remember the name of Miss Qin from the Tang Group, let alone remember what she looked like.

Did he dare to praise her in front of her uncle?

But, this can’t be blamed on his young master. After all, he had to save some face for his future partner.

While Lu Yang was secretly complaining, Tang Yue continued, “I am looking forward to a successful partnership between Tang Group and Mo Group. I also hope for a closer relationship between the two groups. Since President Mo has a good impression of Shu Rong, it might be a good idea to interact more in the future. Perhaps it could turn into a happy marriage.”

What?

Did Tang Yue really come to steal her man?

She had a good impression of him before, but now he was going straight to her blacklist. Hmph.

Gu Li glared at Mo Shiting, anxiously waiting for him to refuse.

But to her surprise, Mo Shiting never clarified his marital status and ambiguously sent Tang Yue into the elevator.

How frustrating!

Why didn’t he refuse outright?

Could he actually be considering marrying Qin Shurong?

Gu Li clenched her fists tightly, forcing herself to endure for a while longer.

She decided to come out once Tang Yue and his party had all entered the elevator.

About ten seconds later, the elevator finally closed.

Lu Yang left to escort the guests down, leaving Mo Shiting alone in the vast elevator lobby.

The opportunity had arrived. Gu Li slowly came out from behind the pillar, lifted her eyes, and looked at the man who stood just a few steps away.

So it was her!

Mo Shiting’s eyes narrowed slightly, flickering with a touch of pain.

He wanted to step forward and embrace her, but the fact that she didn’t love him forced him to stop in his tracks.

He chose to stand his ground, watching her indifferently as she took step after step to approach him.

“Brother Ting-”

The girl called out to him. Her voice was filled with a thick sense of grievance and longing.

But Mo Shiting, immersed in his own complex emotions, failed to notice.

At this moment, as he looked at Gu Li’s face, all he could think about was her deliberate deception…

“What are you doing here?” He said coldly, “Don’t you have someone else to be with?”

The words he wanted to say, but couldn’t bring himself to, he silently questioned in his heart.

Seeing Gu Li just staring at him without answering, Mo Shiting became irritable. He ended up uttering harsh words out of irritation: “After today, you and I will have nothing to do with each other. You may go.”

“You…”

There was no misunderstanding. He really wanted to divorce her…

Why?

Didn’t he like her at all?

No, it couldn’t be!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gu Li took a step back subconsciously, looking at him incredulously. “Why?

Don’t you like me?”

“Like?”

Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow and scoffed, “It was all just an act. Why take it seriously?”

An act?

Gu Li felt as though her heart was bleeding.

So, his failure to clearly reject Tang Yue was because he was indeed considering developing a relationship with Qin Shurong?

How could he do this!

Had he ever considered her feelings?

Obviously not!

Because he didn’t like her, didn’t love her, that’s why he could flagrantly trample on her feelings.

It was all her fault for being too foolish, for selflessly giving her all to him, even taking a bullet for him without hesitation. But in return, all she got was a simple statement from him – nothing but an act?

“Haha…”

Suppressing the impending collapse of her emotions, Gu Li forced a cold expression on her face, determined to level the field. “You’re right. We’ve been playing an act. Now that it’s over, let’s go our separate ways.. Goodbye! No, never see you again!”
