After speaking, Mo Shiting pushed open the door and left before Gu Li could even react.

Seeing this, Gu Li could only hurriedly bid farewell to Lu Cong and chase after him.

“Mo Shiting, wait for me.”

Gu Li chased after him with her short legs all the way and finally managed to run into the elevator before the elevator door closed.

They were the only ones in the elevator.

Seeing Mo Shiting’s dark expression and not even looking at her once, Gu Li’s eyes darted around before she suddenly grabbed his hand.

Mo Shiting was slightly stunned. He finally turned his head around and saw her smiling brightly at him. “Thank you for sending me to the hospital. Big Brother Ting, I’m really flattered that you care so much about me.”

As the girl spoke, she hooked his pinky and her soft voice entered his ear. The words “Big Brother Ting” were even sweeter than honey.

Mo Shiting looked at her, and he was actually unable to look away immediately, and neither did he pull her little claw away from his hand.

“Big Brother Ting?”

Gu Li called him sweetly again and deliberately rubbed the back of his hand with her fingertips.

Seeing that he wasn’t rejecting her, her petite body slowly approached him and finally stood in front of him, facing him.

“Big Brother Ting, say, how should I repay you?”

Hmph, the beauty trap is indeed working. I’m going to teach you a lesson!

The girl raised her head, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were shining brightly.

Mo Shiting’s gaze darkened, and he didn’t ignore the sly glint that flashed across her eyes.

What devious idea is she up to again?

Does she want to take revenge on me for what happened last night and this morning?

Indeed, just as she finished speaking, she raised her right leg and kicked in the direction of his calf.

Mo Shiting dodged her attack, grabbed her shoulders, and slammed her against the elevator wall.

Gu Li was dumbfounded as she didn’t expect him to react so quickly.

A second later, she finally realized that this person had long seen through her intentions and had been quietly watching her perform.

How could he be like that…

Gu Li glared at him angrily. “You tricked me!”

With that, she clenched her fist and went straight for his shoulders.

Mo Shiting accurately held her fist and didn’t let her budge.

So instead, Gu Li bent her knees to kick him.

Her movements were quick and ruthless, and she had almost hurt the most vulnerable part of his body. Fortunately, he dodged away in time.

This girl literally wants my life!

After trapping her in a corner of the elevator, Mo Shiting pinched her chin with his large hand, and his handsome face darkened. “Gu Li, there’s a limit to my tolerance for you. If there’s a next time, I won’t let you off easily!”

“But… you tricked me.”

She was embarrassed as she talked, and when she then realized that she had almost kicked him in the crotch, she couldn’t help but feel a little guilty.

“Trick you? Who was the one who did that first?”

Being tricked into marriage was a humiliation to him, so it wasn’t that easy for him to get over it.

Every time he thought of this, it was hard for the anger in Mo Shiting’s mind to subside, and his mania would flare up intermittently.

Gu Li frowned when she felt the pain from his pinch. “Although it was wrong of me to trick you into getting you married in the past, at the very least, I had also indirectly helped you. Can’t we call it even?”

“Call it even? Dream on!”

“Then how long are you going to hold this grudge? Tell me, how else are you going to bully me…”

Tears welled up in Gu Li’s eyes.

All these years, no matter how difficult it was, she had always maintained an optimistic attitude and had never shed a single tear. She had never expected that in just a few days, she would actually cry from anger twice because of him.

Bad person!

When I was young, he even said that he would protect me when he grows up. But in the end, he still completely forgot about me.

This heartless man!

Who exactly was the reason I had to trick him to get married?

If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have done it! Who cares if he’s dead or alive! Boohoo…

The more the girl thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Her tears fell even more ferociously, dripping onto his hand and secretly seeping into his heart..
