“Auntie Guan, where is Brother Ting? Is he at home?”

Gu Li didn’t bother with pleasantries with Auntie Guan and immediately inquired about Mo Shiting, continuing her questions as she went upstairs.

Auntie Guan followed her and replied truthfully, “The young master is not home, at this hour, he should be at the company…”

At her words, Gu Li immediately turned back, “He’s at the office? Then I’ll go to him now.”

Even before she finished speaking, she ran out of the door.

“Young Madam, watch your step.”

Watching Gu Li hurriedly leave, Auntie Guan felt somewhat worried.

However, it was a good thing that the Young Madam was looking for the young master immediately upon her return.

After all, the young master has been looking quite terrible these past few days, anyone with eyes could tell that he must have had a quarrel with the young madam.

Hopefully, this time the young couple could reconciliate and the storms would clear up.

Mo Group.

Lu Yang gently knocked on the door of the CEO’s office, only to see Mo Shiting standing before the floor-to-ceiling window behind the large office chair. His tall figure was bathed in a circle of light, yet it exuded a sense of loneliness.

“Young Master—”

Lu Yang respectfully called out to him and strode over.

Mo Shiting did not turn around, he continued to look out at the sky.

The sky was a brilliant blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds, and the sun was shining brightly.

As Lu Yang approached the desk, Mo Shiting put one hand in his pocket and returned to his seat.

“Young Master, the President of the Tang Group, Tang Yue, is already downstairs.”

Mo Shiting glanced at his watch, 2 o’clock, an hour earlier than the scheduled time. However, he didn’t have any arrangements for this time period, so meeting earlier was fine.

So, he spoke curtly: “Please guide him to the meeting room.”

“Yes.”

Lu Yang bowed and exited the room.

Mo Shiting rubbed his temples, prepared to leave. As he glanced at his phone resting on the desk, his eyes revealed a flicker of sadness.

So many days had passed, and she hadn’t called him once — perhaps she felt that once she had repaid her debt, there was no need to contact him anymore?

It’s not that he hadn’t thought about calling her, but every time he picked up the phone, he remembered the scene he saw at her hospital room door that day, causing his heart to ache until he couldn’t breathe.

“Gu Li…”

Mo Shiting ended up murmuring her name.

He picked up his phone, searched for her number in his contacts, hesitated for a moment, then finally dialed.

However, what greeted him was the sound of a switched-off phone.

Even her phone was off — did she truly intend to cut off all contact with him?

Such a heartless woman…

Since she didn’t love him, why did she bother to seduce him in the first place?

Repaying a favor?

What a laughable reason!

Who needed her kind of deceit disguised as gratitude?

The more Mo Shiting thought about it, the angrier he became, and a sense of resentment began to emerge in his heart.

He clenched his phone subconsciously, took a deep breath, then flung the phone aside and strode out of the office.

On her way to find Mo Shiting, Gu Li, passed by a telecom service provider’s store. She quickly got off the car to get a new SIM card for her phone before she continued her way to the Mo Group.

While she was driving, she dialed Mo Shiting’s number. The call went through, but no one answered.

What’s going on with Brother Ting?

Why won’t he answer her calls?

Could it be… he doesn’t want her anymore?

Gu Li began to feel a hint of panic.

No matter, she’d almost reached the Mo Group. Once they met, she would definitely get it all clarified. They couldn’t just end things without a clear reason.

Thinking of this, Gu Li couldn’t help but speed up.

At that moment, her phone rang, indicating a new incoming call.

Believing it was Mo Shiting returning her call, a look of excitement crossed her pretty face. However, to her surprise, when she answered the call, she heard the eerie voice of Murong Si on the other line: “Little Pear.”

“Brother Si?”

She didn’t expect the call to be from Murong Si, and it made her feel strange.

She had run away from Murong Manor just yesterday, wasn’t he angry with her?

“Where are you?”

Gu Li felt a little hesitant, not wanting to let Murong Si know her whereabouts.

While she didn’t think that Murong Si would be harmful to her, the fact that he and her father had teamed up, refusing to let her leave, almost causing her to become a runaway bride, remained a fact.

Therefore, she decided to keep a distance from him from now on, to refrain him from colluding with her father and constantly trying to come between her and Brother Ting.

“You’re back in the Hua Country Capital City, aren’t you?”

Murong Si asked tentatively.

Gu Li candidly confessed: “Yes, I’m with Brother Ting. Brother Si, could you pass a message to my father? I will never leave Mo Shiting..”
