Chapter 4 - 4 being scolded on trending_1
Editor: Atlas Studios
Mo Shiting strode quickly over, only to discover that the girl he thought had disappeared was actually lying at the end of the bed. She was clutching a pillow tightly in both hands, sleeping as soundly as a pig with her cheek pressed against the pillow.
Why would she sleep on the floor when she has a bed? What was she trying to do?
She was even drooling?
How could there be such a woman?
He looked at her with disgust.
…
An hour later.
Gu Li woke up groggily and shivered when she realized she was in an unfamiliar room. She quickly gathered herself.
Auntie Guan walked in with a bag of toiletries in her hand and asked concernly, “Good morning, Young Madam! Did you sleep well last night?”
“Good morning, Auntie Guan! I slept quite well.”
Gu Li chatted with her but didn’t know that this was actually Mo Shiting’s room. She didn’t know that he had come in early in the morning and had taken in her sleep state completely.
After freshening up, Gu Li tied her hair into a ponytail and energetically headed downstairs.
Mo Shiting was already having his meal in the dining hall and didn’t even glance at her when he heard her footsteps.
Gu Li walked over and said cheerfully, “Good morning, Young Master Mo.”
…
He ignored her.
Gu Li puckered her lips and went to sit down, not affected by his cold demeanor.
After they finished their breakfast without disturbing each other, Gu Li asked, “How is Grandfather Mo doing?”
“My grandfather’s affairs are none of your business.”
After replying coldly, Mo Shiting stood up and left.
“Tsk!”
Gu Li couldn’t help but stick out her tongue at his retreating figure. Unexpectedly, he seemed to have eyes in the back of his head as he turned around at that very moment.
Busted Gu Li: “…”
Mo Shiting glanced at her, “Come to the study on the second floor.”
He didn’t even wait for Gu Li’s response before he walked away.
Gu Li had no choice but to follow him.
…
The study.
Mo Shiting sat behind his desk and handed her an A4 piece of paper.
Gu Li took it and read it. It was a list of notices?
She quickly skimmed through it and found out they were all restrictions on her.
One of them caught her eyes. Gu Li threw the paper onto the table, and scoffed disdainfully. “Not allowed to sleep in your room? Ha, like I care? Don’t worry, I won’t step a foot in your room, I’m fine with the room I slept in last night.”
Mo Shiting’s lips curled into a smirk, “Are you sure?”
Gu Li lifted her pretty chin, “Of course! I really like it.”
Mo Shiting: “…”
After about two seconds of silence, he kindly reminded her, “That’s my room.”
Gu Li: “…”
No wonder the bed was so hard. It made her bones ache from the discomfort. So, that was his bed?
The girl puffed up her cheeks, but before she could reply, the man shifted the topic. “For the time being, you can’t go see my grandpa.”
“Why?”
Gu Li wasn’t quite willing to cooperate.
“Don’t cause a fuss.”
“But…”
Gu Li wanted to say more, but he ruthlessly threw her out.
“Hey…”
She was about to knock on the door but her cell phone started ringing.
“Boss, you’re trending!”
Da Ha’s excited voice came through the phone.
Gu Li was confused, “I’m not a celebrity, why am I trending?”
“Last week, didn’t you solemnly promise your readers to update the grand finale of “Beautiful Master”? They’ve been waiting for a week but still nothing. They got mad and that’s why you’re trending.”
“Oh no!”
Gu Li quickly checked her Weibo.
As expected, she saw the hashtag “#ASweetPearReturnUsTheFinale” trending.
Gu Li: “…”
‘A Sweet Pear’ was her username on C Station, the social media platform.
Three months ago, on a whim, she had uploaded a comic called “Beautiful Master” on C Station, and it had unexpectedly gained popularity.
