Gu Li dawdled for over an hour. It was nearly midnight when she finally dragged her suitcase and lazily went upstairs.
Arriving at Mo Shiting’s room, she could not help but take a deep breath.
Don’t be nervous, Gu Li!
It wasn’t her first time in his room. She had even slept in his bed the first night she got there.
“Knock, knock, knock—”
She knocked gently on the door panel. After waiting for a few seconds, the door was opened. The man, wearing a deep gray robe, jumped into her sight.
He must have just taken a shower. His hair was slightly wet, and he was holding the doorknob in one hand and a towel in the other.
It was a mundane sight, yet he looked incredibly sexy, causing a racing heartbeat.
Gu Li’s pretty face turned red. She swallowed her nervousness and forced out a greeting, “Hi, I’m here.”
“Come in.”
Mo Shiting glanced at her casually and then stepped aside to let her in.
She quickly nodded, said “Okay,” and hurriedly walked in.
Mo Shiting closed the door and followed her in.
The spacious room only had a Kingsize bed. The thought of sharing the same bed that night made Gu Li subconsciously tighten her collar.
However, she soon realized she had been overthinking.
“From now on, you’re sleeping on the couch.”
Mo Shiting pointed at the leather sofa several meters away from the bed and said earnestly.
Relieved that they didn’t have to sleep together, Gu Li sighed but couldn’t help but ask him, “Why aren’t you sleeping on the sofa?”
The man raised his eyebrow, “Do you disapprove?”
“Of course… not.”
She backed down.
Sleeping on the couch was better than sleeping on the floor.
Mo Shiting had already divided the room into areas, giving her the corner near the couch, even equipped with a dressing table.
Just as Gu Li set up her cosmetics one by one, she saw him dry his hair and handed her a brand-new quilt.
“Thank you.”
Gu Li took the quilt. It had a light lavender scent, very pleasant.
Closing her eyes and intending to appreciate the refreshing scent, his voice suddenly echoed in her ear, “There are three things to note. Listen carefully.” Huh?
Gu Li opened her eyes sharply, “What things to note? It’s so bothersome.” The last sentence, she muttered under her breath.
The man elegantly leaned against the French window, hands in pockets, “First, no sleeping with the lights off.”
Gu Li plopped down on the sofa with the quilt in her arms, swinging her feet and taunting, “Are you a child? Scared of the dark?”
Mo Shiting ignored her and continued, “Second, you must go to sleep before 11 PM.”
At this, he glanced at his phone. “You’re overdue today.”
Gu Li:”…”
She was a night owl, what to do?
“Third, get up at six in the morning for exercise.”
“Do I have to?”
Gu Li asked weakly and without hope, only to be met with his cold stare.
Sigh, thank goodness she was only pretending to be married to him. If she actually had to live with him forever, wouldn’t she have to endure this devilish training every day?
Please, spare her.
No wonder people often say that dating and marriage are two different things. It was absolutely true.
“The last point—”
“Wait, weren’t there only three points? Why are there more?”
Gu Li hastily stood up.
Mo Shiting stared at her, unchanging expression, “I just thought of another one.”
“You…”
Gu Li was flustered, her fists clenched, “How can you be so capricious?”
Mo Shiting walked over to her, saw her puffed-up cheeks were cute, couldn’t help but reach out, pinch her cheeks, and leaned over to her ear. His voice teased, “I love being capricious. What can you do about it?”
As his words fell, he quickly let go of her face and spoke coolly, “The bed is mine. Don’t even think about climbing up in the middle of the night..”
