Murong Qian spoke in a righteous manner, yet Lu Cong listened with distaste, his tone sour as he asked, “So you mean, if he weren’t the one Gu Li likes, you would fall for him?”

“Huh?”

Murong Qian was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Lu Cong to think in such a way. She responded, rolling her eyes, “What are you talking about? I don’t feel like chatting with you.”

With those words, she picked up her small bag and strode quickly towards the villa, leaving Lu Cong behind.

Lu Cong hastened after her, “Hey, woman, did I hit a nerve?”

Murong Qian: “I’m speechless!”

She quickened her pace.

Men, can sometimes be even more childish than children, especially those who get jealous easily.

…

Meanwhile,

Mo Shiting entered the villa, and happened to see Gu Li in her outdoor clothes, hair tied in a bun, looking refreshing and attractive as she descended the stairs.

“Brother Ting, how coincidental, I was just about to call you.”

Seeing Mo Shiting, Gu Li beamed with joy.

Mo Shiting nodded slightly and walked towards her.

When he reached the staircase and saw that Gu Li was only a few steps away from the ground, he stretched out his hands towards her, “Come, let me carry you.”

“Okay.”

Gu Li grinned, tilting forward with her arms around his neck.

Mo Shiting smoothly wrapped his arm around her slender waist and lifted her up.

Murong Qian and Lu Cong entered the villa one after another, unexpectedly having to witness this affectionate scene.

The two exchanged glances, both sighing: they feel excessively full before even starting the hot pot.

Unable to contain himself, Lu Cong spoke up, “Alright, could you two please not be so obnoxiously lovey-dovey?”

He was incredibly jealous.

Gu Li giggled, “Dr. Lu, you could be the same with my sister. After all, you’re not single, we can’t make you feel bad.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Cong couldn’t help but glance towards Murong Qian, “Qianqian, your sister seems to make some sense?”

Murong Qian snorted, “What are you talking about? Won’t you quickly take the shopping bag to the kitchen?”

Lu Cong acknowledged with an “Oh,” and strode quickly towards the open kitchen.

Just as he was about to take out the fresh hotpot ingredients from the shopping bag, he heard Gu Li say, “Tonight, Brother Ting and I will leave the room for the two of you. Hope you two have a romantic hot pot night.”

Lu Cong smirked, “Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Murong Qian shot him a look, “We’re not even there yet, don’t call me sister-in-law.”

Lu Cong responded unruffled, “It’s only a matter of time. Didn’t a certain someone say they were going to register with me tomorrow? I have a recording as proof.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Li’s eyes widened, “Sister, really? Are you two registering tomorrow?”

Mo Shiting also looked surprised and cast an inquisitive look towards Lu Cong.

Didn’t they agree that he and Murong Qian would register on the 28th of next month?

Why the sudden change of heart?

Lu Cong saw Mo Shiting’s questioning glance, and just as he was about to explain, Murong Qian spoke first, “Yes. Registering tomorrow.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

Gu LI was somewhat surprised.

With Lu Cong and Mo Shiting present, Murong Qian of course couldn’t disclose the real reason to Gu Li. So she had no choice but to make up a story, “The day after tomorrow is my 26th birthday. When I was little, a fortune teller told me that if I don’t register before my 26th birthday, I will need to wait another five years to get married.”

Gu Li: “What?”

Lu Cong in unison: “What?”

Five years?

No way!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Even five months would be too long.

Yet, Mo Shiting remained calm, a glint quickly passing through his eyes.

In response to their shock, Murong Qian shrugged, “So, only tomorrow is suitable.”

Having said that, she addressed Gu Li, “Don’t worry, I’ve checked the lunar calendar and tomorrow is indeed a suitable day for marriage. However, it clashes with your Chinese zodiac sign, so you can sit out our registration ceremony.”

Gu Li: “…”

She was supposed to start her training at the Super Brain Committee from tomorrow, alright?

————

No. 22 Binhe Road Private Club.

The entire building, inside and out, was staffed by Gu Yuan’s people.

By the time Mo Shiting and Gu Li arrived, Gu Yuan was already waiting for them in the private room.

All dishes had been served. For such a large round table, only Gu Yuan was seated.

“Father.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Uncle.”

The two entered the room one after the other, greeting Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan pointed to two seats at the large round table, “Sit.”

Once seated, Gu Li noticed that all the dishes were her favorites. She couldn’t help but smile and tried to start a conversation, “The meal is so sumptuous tonight, thank you, father.”

What touched her was that her father actually knew what she liked to eat and had prepared it for her.

Of course, it might also be that she was unnecessarily pleased. Perhaps these dishes were simply ordered by Brother Ting’s request.

Seemingly sensing Gu Li’s thoughts, Mo Shiting added, “Uncle, despite your busy schedule, you remember Tang Tang’s tastes. I have much to learn from you.”

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow, not admitting, “It’s just a coincidence. These happen to be the restaurant’s signature dishes.”

“Oh … Understood …”

Gu Li intentionally dragged her words, yet she didn’t believe him in her heart.

But still, this means that father ordered the dishes, which was delightful.

Throughout the meal, both Gu Yuan and Mo Shiting were not talkative. The atmosphere was livened up by Gu Li’s lively chatter, resulting in a pleasant meal.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

After finishing their meal, Gu Li finally asked, “Father, I’m participating in the ‘Super Brain’ competition. The knockout round is tomorrow and the finals are the day after. Will you come and watch?”

Gu Yuan’s eyes flickered, he didn’t respond immediately.

At this moment, a waiter knocked on the door, bringing a pot of tea for their post-meal enjoyment.

Gu Yuan picked up the teacups, poured the tea himself, and handed them over.

“Thank you.”

Gu Li held the teacup in both hands, sipping the tea several times, the fragrant aroma leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

However, soon after, her head felt dizzy.

“Ting…”

She instinctively wanted to call out to Mo Shiting, but could only voice one word before she collapsed on the table, losing consciousness.

“Tang Tang?”

As Mo Shiting was about to pick up his teacup, seeing Gu Li suddenly collapse, his pupils constricted in disbelief, glaring at Gu Yuan, “Uncle, what do you mean by this?”

Gu Yuan replied calmly, his tone resolute, “I won’t let her participate in the Super Brain competition.”

Mo Shiting hadn’t expected that Gu Yuan would resort to such methods to stop Gu Li from participating, and couldn’t help but argue for her, “She represents university students from Hua Country, your actions might not be appropriate.”

Gu Yuan snorted coldly, “How is it inappropriate? A daughter of the Gu family from A Nation is representing another country. What kind of precedent does that set?”

Mo Shiting retorted, “Although Tang Tang is the daughter of the Gu family, she also has Hua nationality.”

Gu Li was granted Hua nationality when she was young and it had been retained all these years.

However, back then, her name was Tang Tang, not Gu Li.

Thinking about it, her name and features bear an uncanny resemblance to the missing heiress of the Tang family.

Considering this, Mo Shiting pulled at his lips slightly. He had already made his conclusions.

So, he put his thoughts into words, “Uncle, Tang Tang’s biological mother is the Chairman of the Tang Group, Tang Wan, right?”
