Be a Good Boy and Marry Me - Chapter 393

Chapter 393: Chapter 310: I’ve Found Another Relative for You._2

Upon hearing the news, Mo Shiting’s brows furrowed deeply.

He had absolutely no clue about this whole thing.

After all, he had taken a 10-hour plane ride and rushed to pick up his wife upon landing. How would he have the time and energy to keep up with the latest gossip about himself?

Furthermore, matters such as these would usually be handled by the PR department; he didn’t need to worry about them himself.

But what on earth were those people in the PR department doing?

Instead of deleting the scandalous news article, it had somehow ended up on the M Country’s headlines?

No wonder Gu Li had demanded an explanation from him earlier.

Thankfully, she seemed to have faith in him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let him kiss her so willingly.

Thinking of this, Mo Shiting once again shifted his gaze to Gu Li.

However, Gu Li wasn’t paying attention to him. She was engrossed in her conversation with Murong Qian, “No! It’s him! He just returned to the country.”

Ah? Then you… you saw the news too? Were you fighting with him just now?” Murong Qian made an educated guess based on Mo Shiting’s previous tone of voice.

Gu Li just let out a vague “Hmm,” it was unclear which question she was answering.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the pitiful glance thrown her way by Mo Shiting.

Fearing that he would blurt out that they were kissing in the car and reveal the truth to Murong Qian, Gu Li quickly took control of the situation, “I just think the media is so unethical! How can they quote things out of context and interpret images misleadingly? Brother Ting doesn’t know that woman at all. They didn t even touch each other, yet the media portrayed it as a heartbreaking separation. This is going too far!”

“So, you trust him, then?”

Of course! Even if I don’t trust him, I trust in my charm. How do I lose to Qin Shurong? Regarding family background, although Gu family might not be as wealthy as the Tang family, my father is a national Chief Minister. If it were ancient times, I would be equivalent to the Prime Minister’s daughter, okay?” The girl’s words shocked the man next to her and Murong Qian on the other end of the phone.

Murong Qian was deeply amused, “It’s so rare for you to compete with someone on the basis of your father’s status. Mo Shiting must be very charming.”

Ignoring her sarcasm, Gu Li firmly retorted, “Good steel is used on the edge of the knife, my father would gladly support me.¹¹

‘Heh, you are the beauty, so you must be right.”

“Also, when it comes to being young and beautiful, I’m no less than her right?”

In the face of an annoying love rival, Gu Li was determined to crush her in all aspects without hesitation.

“WelL.you’re definitely younger than her. As for beauty… why not ask the man next to you?”

Murong Qian, with no good intentions, passed the ball to Mo Shiting, intending to enjoy the show over the phone.

However, Gu Li did not comply, “Alright, you’re not needed anymore. Bye.”

“Ah? Wait…”

Just as she was about to prevent Gu Li from hanging up, the cheeky girl hung up the phone without mercy.

That’s really petty, Li. Life is so dull for me, why won’t you let me have a bit of fun?”

On the other end, after hanging up, Gu Li asked in a feisty tone, “Tell me, who’s prettier? Qin Shurong or me?”

Desperate to survive, Mo Shiting quickly responded, “I can’t remember what she looks like.”

“Liar!”

“I’m not lying. In my eyes, all I see is you.”

Gu Li:

She decided to change the subject.

So, she asked, “Aren’t you going to explain what happened in M Country? Even though I trust that there’s nothing between you and Qin Shurong, your late- night meet-up is enough to stir up imaginations.”

Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow, “How did the news report it?”

Gu Li simply opened the web article and handed it to him, “Here, read it yourself.”

Mo Shiting pulled over to the side of the road, glanced over the article on the phone, and understood the situation.

“This was taken at the entrance of the Tang’s residence. I attended Chairman Tang’s birthday party that night and left around it pm. Qin Shurong wasn’t the only one with me, Tang Yue was there as well.”

Mo Shiting told her the truth.

Hearing that he actually attended a birthday party at the Tang’s residence, Gu Li tried to hide her jealousy, “Oh? So you’re quite close with the Tang family, even attending their private functions. No wonder the media reported the wav they did.”

Initially, she didn’t care much about it. But now, she couldn’t help but feel a little upset.

Mo Shiting held her small hand in his, gave it a gentle squeeze, and deliberately said, “Yes, you’re right. I do feel quite close to the Tang family. I feel like we’re meant to be together.”

“You…”

Unexpectedly, he boldly admitted in front of her that he felt a close connection with the Tang family. Gu Li angrily pulled her hand away, “Then why don’t you marry Qin Shurong? We are divorced after all, so you can marry anyone you want. I won’t interfere. I’m getting out of the car now. Goodbye.”

After finishing her piece, she turned around and reached for the passenger’s side door to get out.
