Chapter 56 - 56 Important Person_l

Translator: 549690339

Gu Li honestly replied, “A person very important to me has disappeared. I hope that if he sees me on television, he will come back to find me on his own.” “An important person? Male or female? It wouldn’t happen to be a childhood sweetheart, would it?”

Song Yunque couldn’t wait to ask, curiosity written all over his face.

Upon hearing the words ‘childhood sweetheart’, Mo Shiting’s heart sank rapidly.

Gu Li was surprised that Song Yunque seemed so interested and was eager to dig to the bottom of the matter.

She couldn’t reveal the truth about her master, so after hesitating for a moment, she said, “A man, you could say, grew up with me.”

Over the past decade or so, her master had been by her side, guiding her patiently. He was not her father, but he was even better than her father.

Seeing her unreserved longing for that man, Mo Shiting bore an increasingly stern expression.

Song Yunque sensed the tension in the car and silently cursed – his older brother was definitely jealous.

Ordinarily, when his older brother was in a bad mood, he would be the first one to bear the brunt. Maybe he should make a run for it?

With that thought, Song Yunque decisively spoke, “Ah, I just remembered I have to go somewhere else. Lu Yang, could you pull over? I need to get out.” “Sure.”

Lu Yang respectfully replied as he steered the car onto the curb.

As the car came to a stop, Song Yunque turned and gave a cheery wave, “Brother, sister-in-law, I’ll leave first then. Bye-bye!”

As soon as he finished speaking, and without waiting for their response, he scrambled out of the car like his life depended on it.

Gu Li & Mo Shiting:”….”

Lu Yang silently raised the partition.

Mo Shiting said, “I was the one who ordered your footage be deleted.”

“What?”

Gu Li wondered if she was hallucinating, staring at him wide-eyed.

Mo Shiting looked steadily at her, his gaze piercing, “If you want money, I’ll give it to you. If you’re looking for someone, I’ll help you. But you–”

“But I must strictly adhere to the Mo family’s rules, not stepping into the entertainment circle, not showing up in public, and not doing anything that upsets you, right?”

Gu Li cut in irritably.

This man’s dominant and overbearing nature wouldn’t change even after a hundred years. It was just too much.

Once the one-year period is over, she wouldn’t want to be the young mistress of the Mo family who had no freedom at all. Whoever wanted it could have it, hmph!

The more Gu Li thought about it, the angrier she became. Her hands balled into fists unconsciously as she gritted her teeth and demanded, “Do you even understand what respect is?”

Mo Shiting coldly retorted, “Respect is based on both parties fulfilling their contract. You, on the other hand, have been breaking our agreement.” nj ii

“This ends here. I’ll handle the rejection with the program team.”

“You—huff!”

Gu Li simply turned her face away, ignoring him.

The two of them began their silent standoff, neither acknowledging the other.

Upon returning to Blue Sky and Blue Sea, Gu Li was the first to dash out of the car and dashed inside without looking back. She even skipped saying hello to Auntie Guan and dashed upstairs.

“You…young master, what’s wrong with the young madam?”

Auntie Guan asked Mo Shiting, who had entered after Gu Li, concern lacing her voice. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mo Shiting glanced up at the direction of the upstairs before replying sullenly, “Leave her be.”

As he finished speaking, he checked his watch and turned to leave the house once again.

Auntie Guan hurried after him, “Young master, it’s almost time for dinner, where are you going?”

Meanwhile, Gu Li went back to Mo Shiting’s room. Without saying a word, she packed her things and dragged her suitcase downstairs.

Auntie Guan had just seen off Mo Shiting as he drove off. As she re-entered the house and noticed Gu Li’s injured leg and frantic behavior, she could only feel a pounding headache.

“Young madam, the young master had to rush off for something.. What are you up to?”
