Gu Li walked over. “Young Master Mo, I have something to ask of you.”

Seeing her serious expression, Mo Shiting raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to continue.

The girl swallowed her saliva and sat down before saying, “I’m participating in ‘The Charming Female Star’ tomorrow. This might break the Mo family rules, but I’ve already asked Grandpa, and he said that the punishment rights are in your hands. I hope you can promise not to punish me.”

Mo Shiting looked at her with burning eyes and instantly made a decision, “Answer me a question first.”

“Okay!”

Gu Li nodded without hesitation. “Go ahead.”

“Why did you trick me into marriage?”

Initially, he didn’t care about her motive for getting close to him. After all, the two of them would be getting a divorce soon and they wouldn’t have any interactions in the future, so she wouldn’t be able to hurt him much either. But at some point, this question became important to him…

Facing the man’s question, Gu Li’s eyes flickered.

Whether it was her motive for getting married or the fact that she was Tangtang, she couldn’t tell him the truth. But she also knew that he wasn’t easy to fool, so she said with a troubled expression, “This is my privacy. I can’t tell you, but…”

At this point, Gu Li glanced at him faintly and said sincerely, “I mean you no harm.”

“Hah!”

Mo Shiting didn’t buy it.

Gu Li could only bite the bullet and continue. “If it really doesn’t work out, let’s go our separate ways and never meet again, okay? But I still ask you to promise me that you’ll only get a divorce with me after one year.”

Never expecting that not only was she unwilling to tell the truth, but she even made such a ridiculous suggestion, Mo Shiting’s handsome face darkened, “That’s impossible!”

“Please.”

With that, the girl leaned over and held his hand.

Mo Shiting pried her fingers apart one by one. “Do you think I, Mo Shiting, am a tool that comes and goes as you please? I don’t even want a woman like you as my wife for a even a single day!”

With that, he suddenly stood up and strode out.

Gu Li looked helpless. “You misunderstood me.”

Her tone was extremely aggrieved.

Mo Shiting suppressed the anger in his heart. As he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around. “You still don’t want to tell me, right?”

Gu Li lowered her head. “I…”

“Okay! Let’s get a divorce them. I’ll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau at 10 a.m. on the day after tomorrow.”

He gritted his teeth and left without giving her any room for negotiation.

Gu Li chased after him in a hurry, but he was already nowhere to be seen.

She pressed her aching temples, and was feeling worried.

Sigh, why must this man be so stubborn?

I really can’t tell him…

…

That night, Gu Li couldn’t sleep at all.

The next day, Da Ha came to pick her up early in the morning.

After she got into the car, Da Ha saw that she was listless, and he asked with concern, “Boss, what happened to you? Did you not sleep well last night?”

Gu Li yawned and said tiredly, “Yeah. I’ll take a short nap. Wake me up when we reach.”

“Okay.”

Da Ha nodded.

Gu Li slept the whole way to the TV station. When she arrived at the TV station, she was finally not as listless as before.

When they met again, the staff was much more enthusiastic than last time.

After all, her identity last time was just an ordinary person. And this time, she was the guest that the investor had designated, so no one dared to treat her badly.

Director Yang brought her to the recording studio and asked as they walked, “We will be recording the rating of the contestants’ first stage today. You know the whole flow of the show, right?”

“Yes, I understand most of it.”

Gu Li nodded slightly.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the recording area.

It was a recording studio that could accommodate more than a thousand people. The stage had been set up since a long time ago, and the staff were busy adjusting the equipments.

Director Yang introduced them to her and said, “The recording will start in two hours. Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to the other four judges.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Gu Li smiled politely.

When she read the information last night, she knew that apart from her —a non-celebrity— the other judges were all prominent figures in the entertainment industry: Cheng Ying, the Artist Director of GE Entertainment, which was the company of many A-list celebrities; movie producer Jiang Cheng; music producer Xu Jin; and Xue Huaimo, a famous director.

Each of them had more experience than the other, and they all seemed proud and arrogant. When they see that I’m so young, they’ll probably question my abilities, right?

Gu Li’s guess was indeed right. At this moment, in the guest lounge, when the four judges heard that a young girl was going to be a judge, just like them, they were very displeased..
