Chapter 418: 318: You Don't Love Me at All,
After passing through the entranceway, they arrived in the living room, and then the bedroom beyond.
“The romantic setting is here in the bedroom? Why do I get the feeling, Mr. Mo, that your intentions are not entirely pure?”
Gu Li teased as they walked along.
Mo Shiting replied,”It’s all done with a sincere heart.”
“Hmph!”
“Huh…”
Finally, they pushed open the bedroom door.
The light illuminated a large bed.
This bed had diamonds arranged into a stunning heart shape on it, which was filled with vibrant red roses.
Gu Li:”…”
This was rather cheesy.
Was this Brother Ting’s idea of being romantic?
Uh, from which cheesy romance novel did he plagiarize these ideas?
Gu Li muttered to herself. Still, in order not to disappoint him, she pretended to be surprised, “Wow, it’s so beautiful. Thank you for preparing all of this, Brother Ting.”
Mo Shiting gave a light smile, “I’m pleased as long as you like it.”
It seemed that Song Yunque was reliable after all, blessing him with this brilliant idea.
“Mhmm, I like it so much,” said Gu Li, smiling with her eyes half-closed.
It seemed that her acting skills had improved – it would be such a waste if she didn’t go into acting.
Just as she was thinking, Mo Shiting quickly took out a delicate, small box from the sea of roses.
Was he proposing?
Gu Li’s heart began to race uncontrollably.
She even extended her left hand, prepared to accept his ring.
However, when the man opened the box, what he unveiled was a pair of… earrings.
Gu Li: “…”
What a letdown!
Apparently, Mo Shiting didn’t quite understand the heart of a girl, unaware of how much anticipation can lead to disappointment.
However, at this point, he and Gu Li were not on the same wavelength.
She assumed that he went to such extravagant lengths to create this cliched romance just to pop a marriage proposal, but the thing he took out was not a ring at all.
Not a ring was one thing, yet earrings?
Did he not know that she didn’t have pierced ears?
The more she thought about it, the more irritated Gu Li became, her pretty face visibly sinking.
When Mo Shiting took out the earrings, he was about to help her put them on, then quickly detected her displeasure, he instinctively softened his tone, “What’s wrong?”
“Hmph, what do you think?”
Even the normally good-tempered Gu Li couldn’t hold back this time.
“What did I do wrong?” asked Mo Shiting, his handsome face clouded with confusion.
Gu Li took a deep breath, pointing to the earrings in his hand, “What do you plan to do with this?”
Mo Shiting honestly replied, “Put them on for you.”
“Do you see any piercings in my ears?”
Gu Li pointed at her ears, gritting her teeth.
Mo Shiting cracked a smile, understanding what had annoyed her.
Seeing him softly smiling, Gu Li was suddenly overwhelmed with frustration, “You’re still laughing, still laughing, you… I’m so angry with you! You clearly don’t love me, boo hoo…”
At this point, she was so distressed that tears started to flow.
“Why are you crying?”
The smile on Mo Shiting’s lips froze, as he clumsily comforted her, “Sweetie, don’t cry.”
“Hmph, you’re bullying me…”
“Yes, yes, I’m a bad guy!”
“You…Hmph…I don’t want to talk to you anymore. I want to go back to school.”
Gu Li wiped her tears and started walking towards the door.
Mo Shitingimmediately hugged her from behind, “I’m sorry; it’s my fault. I didn’t explain clearly. Though they look like earrings, they are actually earclips – you don’t need to have pierced ears to wear them. Don’t you believe me? Allow me to help you put them on?”
Gu Li: “???”
Did she misunderstand him?
“Really! Of course, I knew you don’t have pierced ears. I had this pair specially designed for you. Don’t you want to take a look?”
Mo Shiting asked gently.
At his words, Gu Li finally turned slowly towards him and extended her hand haughtily, “Let me see.”
“Okay.”
He handed her the box.
Women are made of water, indeed there’s a whole truth in it.
It seemed that he should clarify things beforehand in the future, to prevent her from crying inadvertently.
Gu Li took the box and examined the earrings closely, only to realize that Mo Shiting had not deceived her.
The design was of pear-shaped earrings, but there was more to them at the back. They were designed specifically for girls who were afraid to get their ears pierced.
“I’m sorry, Brother Ting. I misunderstood you.”
Knowing that he was putting in a lot of effort to cheer her up and that he ended up getting verbally lashed by her, Gu Li bit her lip, her eyes filled with remorse.
Mo Shiting gently wiped away her tears with his thumb, “It’s my fault for not explaining in advance. Let me help you put them on, okay?”
“Mmm, okay.”
The girl obediently nodded, her smile as sweet as ever.
Not wanting to hurt her with his clumsy hands, Mo Shiting held his breath, not even daring to breathe.
After quite a bit of fuss, he finally managed to successfully put on the two diamond-studded earrings.
“Does it look nice?”
Gu Li’s long, curled eyelashes fluttered, her face full of anticipation.
“Hmm.”
Mo Shiting nodded, sincerely admiring her,” Very beautiful!”
“I’m glad.”
Gu Li’s lips curled into a pleased smile, and she casually asked, “So, Brother Ting, what do you have planned next?”
