Chapter 372 - 303: Shameless to This Extent 2

“What are you talking about?”

He carefully recollected, it seemed like he hadn’t done anything wrong these few days. Plus, he had left the country early this morning, and had immediately texted her after landing. He theoretically shouldn’t have offended her.

Yet, you never know with women, since they were like needles in a haystack. Therefore, he was careful, in case she decided to take out her anger on him for some unrelated reasons.

Gu Li said, “My classmate got cheated on by her boyfriend. I guess I was just speaking from empathy.”

“Oh.”

Mo Shiting breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it had nothing to do with him, it was fine.

“I heard Old Lady came to you looking for trouble this morning? You weren’t bullied, were you?”

He had rushed to inspect work after landing in another country and had just gotten wind of this news.

‘Relax, I’m too mighty for your grandma to mess with.”

Gu Li tried to sound casual.

Mo Shiting picked up on the jest in her words and couldn’t help but smile a little, “Mighty? You’re not actually a seafood, are you?”

“Hmph, what if I am?”

She couldn’t help but laugh at his joke, “I’m a fierce great white shark, be careful, or I might eat you.”

Mo Shiting paused for a moment and said with a meaningful tone, “I’d be happy to be eaten by you.”

Gu Li:

After blushing for a few seconds, her voice softened, “Stop teasing me, will you?”

“Who started the teasing, hmm?”

“You… You did!”

“Alright, whatever my wife says is correct.”

“Hmph.”

Gu Li let out a melodious hum. His antics improved her gloomy mood considerably, “Is your work going well?”

“So far, so good.”

Mo Shiting answered. He glanced at his wristwatch. In another two minutes, he would have another meeting.

He was scrambling to engage in conversation with her.

“Well, you best get back to work. The sooner you finish, the sooner you can come home.”

Even though Mo Shiting didn’t tell her, Gu Li knew he was very busy.

She could completely empathize with his work situation. However, when she thought about him coming back only after a month, her mood turned somber again.

She missed him, she really did…

“Okay.”

Mo Shiting softly agreed. Before hanging up, he jokingly commented, “Baby, I heard you’re pregnant? Am I going to be a father?”

Gu Li:”… Get lost!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After chatting with Mo Shiting, she glanced at the time on her mobile phone. It was ten past ten. She was unsure whether Xiang Xiaoyue had returned to her dormitory or not.

Even though Xiang Xiaoyue seems strong, Gu Li still felt worried for her.

She thought for a bit and sent a WeChat message saying, “Have you returned to school?”

Xiang Xiaoyue didn’t reply.

After waiting for a few minutes without receiving a reply from her, Gu Li decided to call her.

Still no answer.

At this time of the day, she should be off work. Gu Li decided to go and check on her at her dormitory.

She quickly jumped off from her bed, changed her clothes, and put on her slippers.

Just as she was coming out from the restroom, Chen Xue saw Gu Li getting ready to go out and asked, “Big sis, where are you off to at this hour?”

“I’m going to dormitory 16 to check on my classmate.”

After saying this, Gu Li quickly left, leaving Chen Xue with a puzzled expression on her face.

After enquiring, Gu Li learnt that Xiang Xiaoyue hadn’t returned.

She tried calling Xiaoyue again, but didn’t get through.

Could something have happened?

Of course, Gu Li wouldn’t go looking for Xiaoyue all alone at this hour.

Luckily, Song Yunque was around. She immediately thought of him.

“Fourth sister, what do you need at this hour?”

Having received a phone call from Gu Li, Song Yunque was flabbergasted.

As Gu Li went around campus looking for Xiaoyue, she panted and said, “Are you free right now? Can you help me find someone?”

“Fourth sister called. Of course, I have to make myself free. Where are you at?

I’ll find you immediately.”

Song Yunque was just at the snack bar near the dormitory, so he relayed the message as he ran.

Gu Li relayed an address.

Song Yunque realized it wasn’t far from his place and increased his pace. “Wait

for me. I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Alright.”

After saying this, Gu Li hung up.

Despite knowing there was little hope, she still tried Xiaoyue’s number and miraculously, someone answered.

“Xiaoyue, where are you?”

Gu Li asked, unable to wait.

A strange male voice replied from the other end, “Are you a friend of the phone’s owner? We found her extremely drunk at the YC Bar…”

“Alright, can you please look after her for a while? I will pick her up. Thank you.”

After thanking the person on the other end, Gu Li hung up.

“Fourth sister, I’m here.”

Song Yunque appeared after jogging all the way.

Gu Li, getting straight to the point, asked him, “Do you know where the YC Bar is?”

“Yes.”

“Let’s go.”

Xiang Xiaoyue was completely drunk, crying her eyes out, and was unsteady on her feet.

Gu Li had a hard time supporting her and had to seek the help Song Yunque to carry her..
