Could Da Ha really be locked up by him?
My God, that guy better not sell her off.
“So, have you made up your mind?”
Mo Shiting once again asked with patience.
Gu Li’s eyes flickered, but she said nothing.
After a few seconds, she suddenly laughed, “Right, you just want to know why I insist on marrying you. Okay, I’ll tell you.”
At this point, if she didn’t give a reason, she would probably fail this test.
So, before he could speak, she continued, “Have you ever heard of Master Yunshan?”
“Hmm.”
Mo Shiting nodded slightly.
It was said that the master, who lived deep in the mountains and was over a hundred years old, knew everything about the world, had saved countless people, and was considered a living immortal.
“I had a chance encounter with Master Yunshan once. He told me that I must marry a man who was born at the hour of the rabbit exactly 1,999 days older than me in the year I turn 21 to resolve the misfortune of my life; otherwise, I would not live to be 22.”
After Gu Li finished speaking, she glanced at him quietly.
She was making up stories, not sure if he would believe it or not.
Mo Shiting frowned, “So, I’m the guy who’s exactly 1,999 days older than you and was born at the hour of the rabbit?”
“Exactly.”
Gu Li nodded vigorously, “You also feel it’s absurd, don’t you? Actually, I didn’t believe it at first, but Master Yunshan told me that soon a destined person would be saved by me. Then, didn’t I save Grandfather Mo in the mountains by a twist of fate? This kind of karmic relationship left me no choice.”
Mo Shiting:
The logic was so strong that he was left speechless.
Seeing him speechless, Gu Li’s heart rippled with unease, so she decided to sit next to him and boldly take his hand.
Mo Shiting was taken aback and for a moment, he forgot to shake her off.
At this moment, she quickly held up his hand and solemnly swore, “Brother Ting, I swear to God, I will never hurt you. If I break this oath, I should gain ten pounds as punishment—no, make it a hundred pounds!”
Mo Shiting pulled back his hand with a poker face, “Why are you holding my hand to swear?”
Gu Li winked playfully, “Out of respect for you.”
Mo Shiting: “Oh!”
Standing up, he looked down at the girl who was beaming an incredibly sweet smile at him, his eyes softened unconsciously, “Since you’re fine, you should be discharged.”
Gu Li also stood up.
Just as she was about to ask if he really believed her or not, she heard him say, “That teenager is close to you. Will his answer be the same as yours?”
The smile on Gu Li’s face froze. Secretly cursing in her heart: Damn man, so suspicious. Not cute at all.
At this moment, her stomach rumbled.
Mo Shiting raised an eyebrow and instinctively looked at her stomach. “Hungry?”
Gu Li was a little embarrassed and retorted, “What do you think?”
She hadn’t eaten much since last night. It’d be strange if she wasn’t hungry.
Mo Shiting hooked his lips and stayed quiet, then strode away.
Seeing him almost out the door, Gu Li hurriedly caught up, “Da Ha is innocent. You have to let him go.”
Mo Shiting completely ignored her.
Gu Li clenched her fist, “Mo Shiting!”
He finally turned to glance at her, “I will let him go once I have the answer.”
The implication was clear: if Da Ha’s story didn’t match hers, she couldn’t expect him to let Da Ha go.
Gu Li clenched her teeth and slightly released her fist, “Fine then, if that makes you happy.”
With that, she turned and walked in the opposite direction.
Mo Shiting’s temple throbbed.
Was she throwing a tantrum in front of him?
“Gu Li??? ‘
