Chapter 497: Chapter 345 I Will Definitely Be on Your Side_1

Mo Shiting took a step forward in an instant, “Lu Cong is Murong Qian’s ex-boyfriend?”

“Ah – Brother Ting, you scared me to death!”

Gu Li hadn’t fully digested this explosive news when she was startled by the sudden appearance of Mo Shiting.

She did not hold her mobile phone steady, and it fell to the ground.

Mo Shiting’s hand moved faster than her, picking it up.

He casually checked the mobile phone and found that Gu Li was not talking on the phone, but was video chatting with Da Ha.

Moreover, why was Da Ha bathing during the video call?

The handsome face of the man suddenly darkened, scaring Da Ha on the screen, “Brother-in-law, please let me explain. My boss didn’t see anything, really, really! We didn’t mean to chat like this.”

Da Ha was so wronged that he almost cried.

Wasn’t he the victim here?

Would his brother-in-law want to strip him alive?

Whining sound.

Mo Shiting, of course, believed that Gu Li had not seen anything inappropriate, but that did not stop him from berating Da Ha, “Next time this happens, I’ll skin you.”

Upon hearing that, Da Ha quickly nodded, “Okay, okay! Brother-in-law, please take care of my boss. I’m out.”

Before Gu Li and Mo Shiting could respond, he quickly hung up the phone.

Whew!

He must not have checked the almanac before taking a bath tonight.

…

Mo Shiting had just put away the mobile phone when his shirt sleeve was gently tugged by Gu Li. He turned his head to see her sweet face, “Brother Ting, I’m so happy to see you. Why did you turn up out of the blue? Did you miss me a lot?”

The girl gave him an exceptionally sweet smile. Mo Shiting found it impossible to pretend to be angry, even if he wanted to.

He opened his arms to embrace her, his chin resting on her fluffy head, responded softly, “Hmm, I miss you. How about you?”

Gu Li stretched her hands around his waist and her voice was sweet and soft, “Of course I miss you too, Brother Ting. Have you had dinner?”

From what she knew about this man, he probably hadn’t eaten dinner. He had likely rushed to fly over as soon as work ended.

Indeed, he responded a moment later, “I haven’t. Where are you planning on taking me?”

Gu Li thought carefully, then an idea struck, “How about we go to the night market behind our University? There are a lot of snacks from all over the place, and they’re super delicious.”

She had been there a few times and really liked some oyster pancakes and sponge gourd pancake from one of the stall, and had been meaning to take Mo Shiting there for a taste. Tonight seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Mo Shiting did not refuse, and nodded slightly, “Okay.”

Gu Li excitedly hooked her arm around his, “Let’s go.”

As she was about to head towards the back door of the school, he held her back, “Wait.”

“What’s wrong?”

Gu Li looked up, her face full of confusion.

Mo Shiting squinted at her, his focused gaze was so intense that it was impossible not to be drawn into it.

Gu Li’s heart skipped a beat, she swallowed nervously, “What else do you need?”

“Of course… something more important than eating night snacks.”

The man’s magnetic voice was laced with a hint of allure.

Before Gu Li could decipher the meaning behind his words, he had already grasped her chin, lowering his lips to hers.

In the secluded grove, under the hazy moonlight, a handsome man and beautiful woman sharing a passionate kiss looked like a beautiful painting. Anyone who saw it couldn’t help but sigh, what a perfectly matched couple.

…

By the time they reach the night market behind Imperial City University, a half an hour had passed.

It was not yet ten o’clock, and the night market was still bustling, full of university students everywhere.

There were dating couples, dormitory groups having meals, and the atmosphere was full of life.

Guided by Gu Li, Mo Shiting navigated through the crowd and finally arrived at her favourite snack stand.

The owner is a man in his forties who is excellent at cooking. The stand offers a wide variety of food at a reasonable price, making it the most popular one.

The two of them walked hand-in-hand to the entrance of the shop, only to find it packed with people, not a single seat available. Seeing the situation, they would have to wait at least an hour for seats, Gu Li felt a little disappointed.

“Brother Ting, it seems like we can’t eat here tonight.”

While she missed the taste of oyster pancakes, she cherished the moments of sharing these experiences with her loved ones even more. It was only natural for her to be disheartened as her plans didn’t come through.

Mo Shiting understood her disappointment, scanning the interior of the shop once more. He then pinched her small face, saying, “Wait for me here.”
