Chapter 2

These people are at least in their forties or fifties, so they should be Mo Shiting’s elders, right?

But all of them have fierce expressions on their faces. This doesn’t look too good.

Gu Li’s eyes flickered as she heard Mo Shiting say coldly, “Let me introduce you to my wife, Gu Li.”

Boom!

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone looked at each other. They had never expected Mo Shiting to make such a big move at such a critical moment.

He’s married?!

How is that possible?!?!

Not only were the Mo family members dumbfounded, but even Gu Li was also dumbfounded.

However, even if she had questions for him right now, she didn’t dare to offend Mo Shiting, and thus she cooperated with him obediently. “Hello, everyone. It is my first time meeting all of you, and it is a pleasure to meet you.”

“…”

Everyone ignored her as they looked at Mo Shiting doubtfully.

“Shiting, this is boring. Everyone knows that you’re still single, so why did you bother to find an actress to put on a show with you? Besides, even if you’re putting on a show, you should have found a more reliable partner. This girl isn’t even an adult yet, right?”

“Exactly. Don’t treat us like fools.”

“How can such a big thing like marriage be as reckless as a child’s play? Don’t fool around!”

…

Hearing them criticize Mo Shiting mercilessly, Gu Li finally understood that she had actually helped Mo Shiting by coincidence.

From the looks of it, my life is still safe for the time being.

She walked over to Mo Shiting’s side in small steps. The girl blinked and pretended to be confused as she asked, “Hubby, what are they talking about? Are the red booklets that we got from the Civil Affairs Bureau just performance props?”

As she spoke, she opened her small bag and took out the red booklets.

A Mo family member who was beside her immediately snatched the booklet over.

When they saw the embossed stamp on the booklet, along with the photo and their names, there was a brief silence in the air.

“What exactly is happening?”

Mo Jianming asked with a dark expression.

After all the calculations he had made, he thought he would be able to take down Mo Shiting tonight. However, he didn’t expect that Mo Shiting would find someone to fake a marriage.

It’s definitely fake.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

“Shiting, when did you get to know Miss Gu? Why are you suddenly married?”

“Exactly, this is way too sudden.”

Everyone was full of doubts.

“No comment,” Mo Shiting replied without changing his expression.

Before they could say anything, he directly asked them to leave, “It’s getting late. Please return.”

“…”

Seeing that they weren’t going to get any benefits from continuing with the stalemate, the Mo family members could only leave reluctantly.

Before leaving, Mo Jianyu even especially took another look at Gu Li. An odd glint flashed across his eyes under the lens.

After everyone left, Mo Shiting and Gu Li were the only ones left in the large room.

The atmosphere became inexplicably strange.

Gu Li retreated quietly and moved slightly away from Mo Shiting as she secretly sized him up from the corner of her eye.

The man was sitting on the sofa, and although his posture was lazy and casual, the aggressiveness exuding from his entire body made her feel uneasy.

Her lively eyes darted around, and Gu Li then asked softly and tentatively, “Young Master Mo, can we have a good chat?”

Mo Shiting looked up, and his gaze was cold. “In this world, no one has ever schemed against me and be able to escape unscathed.”

Oh…

Gu Li gasped and couldn’t help taking two steps away from him.

Mo Shiting noticed her small actions and raised his eyebrow.

At this moment, Gu Li said, “Just now, so many people knew that I was married to you. Don’t you think they’ll be suspicious if they don’t see me after today?”

“…”

Seeing that he wasn’t saying anything and that her words seemed to have registered in his mind, the young girl became braver and started to move towards him. “Since I have sort of helped you, why don’t we call it even?”

Mo Shiting’s gaze was cold and he ignored her.

“Don’t be so petty. Keeping me alive is more useful than killing me.”

Gu Li walked closer and closer to him, completely unaware that she had already arrived in front of him unknowingly.

The fragrance on the young girl’s body faintly wafted over, causing ripples in Mo Shiting’s heart. He impatiently reached out his hand and pushed her away. “Go away.”

Gu Li: “…”

F*ck!

I’m a good-looking woman, am I not? Why is my charm not working even a single bit on him?

Does this man really not like women?

No wonder Grandpa Mo had been worrying about his marriage.

It is indeed quite worrying.

Mo Shiting couldn’t be bothered to care about the little thoughts in Gu Li’s mind.

He quickly stood up and said, “We’ll discuss the divorce later. During this period of time, cooperate with me to act as a married couple in front of others first.”

“What if I don’t?”
