Be a Good Boy and Marry Me

Chapter 499: Chapter 345 I Will Definitely Be on Your Side_3

Back in her seat, she deliberately asked Mo Shiting, “Brother Ting, did any beauty come up and ask for your contact details?”

“No!”

Mo Shiting answered firmly, then added, “In my eyes, there’s only you, the beauty.”

His flirtatious words made Gu Li doubt whether he had secretly taken a class on sweet talk without her knowing.

“Alright, enough teasing. Here’s a candy for you as a reward.”

Saying this, she actually pulled out a White Rabbit candy from her bag.

Mo Shiting: “…”

“I prefer the candy you make.”

Although he said that, he dared not refuse what his wife offered, especially when she was eating the candy herself, he had no choice but to “accompany Gu Li in indulgence.”

The restaurant was so busy that the dishes took a long time to come.

During this waiting period, Mo Shiting finally had time to ask about Lu Cong, “What’s the deal with Lu Cong and your cousin?”

He had never heard about Lu Cong dating, let alone having an ex-girlfriend.

Even more surprising, in his relationship history, Lu Cong turned out to be heartless, a jerk.

This completely subverted his understanding.

After all, as Lu Cong’s best friend, he had witnessed Lu Cong struggling emotionally over Murong Qianxun. If anyone was heartless, it seemed to be her.

However, his strong instinct for self-preservation prevented Mo Shiting from expressing his true thoughts in front of Gu Li.

Having poured a cup of Pu’er tea and taken a sip to moisten her throat, Gu Li disclosed, “My sister attended university in M Country. In her senior year, she had a boyfriend. They dated for a while. He even proposed to her and she gave him the family heirloom. At the time, he promised her that after notifying his family about their relationship in Hua Country, he would immediately return to M Country to marry her. My sister waited for over a month, but he disappeared without a word. In the end, she didn’t want to wait any longer and followed him from M Country, only to discover that he was engaged to another woman… ha ha…”

At this point, Gu Li sneered a few times and said wrathfully, “Tell me, isn’t he an absolute jerk? I used to think Dr. Lu was quite decent, but what a shock, he turned out to be the betrayer who broke my sister’s heart! It drives me mad!”

Confronted with Gu Li’s indignation, Mo Shiting remained silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Gu Li couldn’t help but poke him hard in the arm, huffily complaining, “Hey, you’d better not try to defend your good brother. Beware, I might end up disliking you too!”

Mo Shiting came back to his senses and smiled, “Don’t worry, I’m on your side.”

“That’s better.”

Seeing his clear stance, Gu Li felt greatly relieved.

Mo Shiting picked up the freshly brewed cup of Pu’er tea from the table, took a distracted sip, and his eyes shone mysteriously, as if lost in thought.

Gu Li asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you believe me?”

“No.”

Mo Shiting looked serious, “I’ve just never heard of Lu Cong having an ex-girlfriend. And —”

He put down his cup, fixed his gaze on her and said, “You mentioned something happened four years ago. I remember that Lu Cong indeed spent some time in M Country four years ago, and on the first day back, he had a car accident on a highway near the airport. He woke up a month later. His engagement to Li Ruoruo was arranged while he was in a coma by the Li and Lu families.”

“What? Are you serious?”

Gu Li was surprised, but then immediately suspicious, “Isn’t he grown? When he woke up and found out he was engaged, wouldn’t he refuse? Especially since a woman he loved was waiting for him in M Country.”

“He has refused many times, but to no avail.”

“Oh my!”

“Moreover, he has completely forgotten your cousin.”

Gu Li: “…Did he lose his memory?”

Mo Shiting pondered for a moment and concluded, “Maybe.”

If Murong Qian really was Lu Cong’s ex-girlfriend, then Lu Cong must have lost his memory, or possibly, have been hypnotized by someone.

Mo Shiting didn’t want to jump to conclusions, but at the time, the Lu and Li families were determined to have their children married, so using some means on Lu Cong was not impossible.

Thinking about this, Mo Shiting furrowed his brows, his eyes reflecting deep thoughts.

Gu Li quickly caught on that the matter was not simple. Decisively, she gripped his hand, “Brother Ting, promise me, don’t get involved in Sister Qian and Lu Cong’s issues. Let’s leave it to Sister Qian to handle it, alright? I’m not sure what Sister Qian is thinking, but I believe she will make the right choice.”

“Okay!”

Mo Shiting held her hand tightly, nodding solemnly.

Just then, the owner of the restaurant personally served a plate of pan-fried oyster, interrupting them.

“The dishes are ready! Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Not at all, it smells delicious. Thank you, sir.”

Gu Li replied with a smile.

“Enjoy your meal, then. I’ll go whip up the rest of your dishes.”

After the owner left hurriedly,

Gu Li quickly picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the pan-fried oyster, dabbed a bit of sweet and spicy sauce on it and presented it to Mo Shiting, “Brother Ting, want to try?”

“Sure.”

Without any hesitation, Mo Shiting opened his mouth and swallowed the oyster.

Initially not expecting much from the dish, he found it surprisingly soft and flavorful the moment he tasted it, making him want to have another bite.

Seeing his interest, Gu Li instantly picked up another piece, “Here’s more.”

Again, he ate without any hesitation.

“Is it delicious?”

The girl didn’t even start eating herself. Her beautiful eyes blinked at him, the expectant look on her face made Mo Shiting feel a strong sense of happiness.

She was so sweet that he found himself wanting to kiss her again.
