Therefore, no matter how displeasing Gu Yuan’s attitude was towards him, Mo Shiting would never care or even felt entitled to be angry.

Nevertheless, Gu Li couldn’t bear to see Mo Shiting being wronged. She pouted and was about to pull him away when she heard Gu Yuan commanding sternly: “Come in.”

“Brother Ting, let’s go.”

Gu Li turned around and gently took Shiting’s hand with a smile.

Mo Shiting took her hand back and held it tightly as they walked in together.

Inside the house.

Gu Yuan was seated on a purple rosewood sofa. He couldn’t help but frown upon seeing his daughter hand in hand with Mo Shiting.

“Father—”

“Director Gu—”

Upon spotting Gu Yuan, both of them called out simultaneously.

“Hmm.”

Gu Yuan responded indifferently, his gaze falling on Li’s face. Seeing her in high spirits, his expression softened slightly.

Mo Shiting immediately attracted killers as soon as he arrived. Surely Gu Yuan was aware of this and that’s why he held an even stronger grudge against him. “Gu Zuo.”

He suddenly called Gu Zuo.

Gu Zuo appeared instantly: “Yes!”

“Miss has traveled a long distance and she must be tired. Please ask her to go back to her room and rest.”

“Yes.”

Upon receiving the command, Gu Zuo walked up to Gu Li and gestured, “Miss, let me escort you back.”

“No, I still have something to discuss with my father.”

Gu Li didn’t want to leave Brother Ting alone.

Thus, she quickly added: “Father, tomorrow is your birthday. Grandpa Mo especially asked me to give his greetings. I’ve also brought a gift for you. It’s in my luggage, I’ll give it to you tomorrow.”

“I appreciate Old Master Mo’s thoughtfulness.”

Gu Yuan responded formally – he gave this bit of courtesy for the sake of Old Master Mo’s face.

However, towards Mo Shiting, he didn’t even bother to keep up the pretense:

“Join me in the study.”

“Ok.”

Mo Shiting agreed without hesitation.

“I want to go too.”

Gu Li quickly expressed her desire to follow.

But Gu Yuan coldly glanced at her, “If you don’t want to go, just wait here.”

“But…”

Gu Li wanted to insist, only for Mo Shiting to say, “Your knees and palms are hurt, you need to apply medication, be good, go tend to it now.”

If it weren’t for the fear of Black Blood League ambush on the road, he would have helped her apply the medicine earlier.

It was only after Shiting mentioned it, did Gu Li realize that she had been injured.

“Alright then, I will apply the medicine downstairs and wait for you.”

Gu Li said reluctantly. Then, she tugged his sleeve and whispered, “Brother

Ting, please be careful.”

At her words, Gu Yuan’s already gloomy face grew even darker.

Such a mindful Brother Ting!

This headstrong girl was suspiciously loyal. Did she really believe that he would kill Mo Shiting?

It was already disappointing enough that his daughter was making her own decisions without consulting him. But to make it worse, she had chosen such a dangerous man who could cause her death at any moment!

Gu Yuan didn’t hide his dislike for Mo Shiting, yet Mo Shiting seemed oblivious. He reassured Gu Li: “Don’t worry, nothing will happen.”

With that, he patted her head affectionately.

The two exchanged loving glances.

The sight of their publicly intimate exchanges was too much for Gu Yuan to bear. He huffed coldly, turned around, and went upstairs.

Seeing this, Mo Shiting quickly followed.

Soon, only Gu Li and Gu Zuo were left in the spacious living room.

Gu Li examined the palm of her hand and her knees, then said to Gu Zuo,

“Could you please bring me the first aid box? Thank you.”

Gu Zuo glanced at her injuries and frowned, “Miss, if these injuries aren’t treated well, they may leave scars. Let me accompany you to the medical room.”

“No, I have to wait for Brother Ting here.”

Gu Li was determined not to leave the place.

If her father took advantage of her absence to drive Brother Ting away, she would have nowhere to weep.

Admittedly, Little Pear’s guard against her father never faltered.

Seeing this, Gu Zuo relented and went across to the medical room in the main house and returned with a box.

Upstairs, in the study.

Upon entering the room, Gu Yuan signaled Mo Shiting to sit on the sofa while he went and sat on the office chair behind the desk on the opposite side.

A few meters separated the two and neither spoke, silence enveloping the room.

Time slipped away slowly and, after what felt like an eternity, Mo Shiting finally broke the silence: “I apologize for breaking my promise.”

He had promised to leave Gu Li, but ultimately, he hadn’t fulfilled it.

“Ha!”

Gu Yuan scoffed, the smile not reaching his eyes, “Do you think I will continue to let her stay by your side?”

Mo Shiting looked at him, his gaze unwavering, “Regardless of your wishes, I won’t let go again..”
