Chapter 512: Chapter 350: The Longer We’re Together, The Shyer We Become _1

On his phone screen, the girl was pouting and demanding compensation. Her appealing expression made Mo Shiting’s eyes darken even further.

He brought his handsome face close to the camera, smirked, and said in a seductive tone, “What, do you want me to compensate with my body, huh?”

He extended the sound of the last word deliberately, its husky tone full of allure.

Gu Li’s pretty face immediately turned red. “Hey, we were talking about serious things! You… you are so infuriating!”

Finishing her words, she turned her face away, too embarrassed to look at him directly.

Strange, she used to have thick skin and could effortlessly make sweet talks. Why did she become more shy the longer she spent time with him?

On the contrary, he seemed to be getting better at it.

Each time, he ended up making her blush and boiling with annoyance.

Speaking of which, Sister Qian was really good at this. She needed to learn from her lest she’d fall completely under his spell.

Gu Li made a secret vow.

Mo Shiting stared at her red-blushed profile, his teasing gaze traced her beautiful features. “Sweetheart, turn your face this way. Let your husband get a good look at you, huh?”

“Hmph!”

Gu Li let out a soft grunt, stubbornly refusing to turn her face towards the camera.

Not giving up, Mo Shiting purposefully said: “Baby, I’ve noticed a pimple on your cheek.”

“What?”

Hearing that she had a pimple, her reflex was to face the camera to examine it, but when she saw the mischievous smile tugging at his lips, she realized she’d been fooled.

“Damn it! Mo Shiting, you’re getting worse!”

“Heh…”

Mo Shiting gave a low chuckle, “If I don’t do these, how am I going to get your attention?”

“Hmph, no more of these. Once is enough.”

“Okay.”

Fearing that she might actually hang up on him, Mo Shiting decided to switch topics, “Lu Cong now knows that your cousin was his ex-girlfriend.”

Gu Li was taken aback, “Huh? Did you tell him?”

“No.”

“Oh, so my sister must have informed him.”

Gu Li mumbled to herself, trying to guess whether or not her sister had also revealed that Murong Yun was Lu Cong’s son.

It looks like she needs to ask about this later, otherwise, she might accidentally leak this information to Mo Shiting.

After her call with Mo Shiting, she sent a WeChat message to Murong Qian, telling her that she was now aware of Murong Qian’s involvement with Lu Cong, and asked if Murong Yun’s identity had been revealed to Lu Cong.

She chose to message rather than call because she could hear her roommates chatting outside, they were back, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to discuss such secrets over a call.

Murong Qian might have been busy because she didn’t respond to the message.

At that moment, the door opened, and Qiao Yin walked in followed by Chen Xue and Mi Dong.

Gu Li hopped up from her bed, “Hello, ladies, I’ve brought some pastries that Auntie Guan made. They’re on the table.”

This morning, Auntie Guan had prepared a large bag full of pastries for her to share with her roommates, and she had also brought some for Xiaoyue earlier.

“Wow, osmanthus cakes! I love these, thank you.”

Chen Xue was the first one to rush to the table. She opened the bag, saw the osmanthus cakes inside, and exclaimed with delight. “Pear, I so love you.”

“Seriously.”

Gu Li laughed at her, “One box of osmanthus cakes and you’re in love with me. Is your love this cheap?”

Holding the osmanthus cake, Chen Xue gleefully said, “Even without these cakes, I’d still love you. Come, let me give you a kiss. MUA!”

“Haha.”

Gu Li giggled at her joke.

Apart from osmanthus cakes, Auntie Guan also made red bean cakes and chestnut cakes. Each type of pastry was delicate and delicious, her craftsmanship rivaling that of a Star Chef Master.

The girls had just eaten lunch and weren’t really hungry, but they still couldn’t help but sample several pieces, lavishing praise as they enjoyed the treats.

Seeing them wolfing down the pastries, Gu Li worried they might choke and kindly poured them each a glass of water.

“Pear, I heard you crossed paths with Professor Shen this morning?”

After taking a sip of the water Gu Li had poured for her, Chen Xue finally remembered this pertinent piece of news.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mi Dong and Qiao Yin turned to stare at her simultaneously.

Gu Li smiled and nodded, “Yes.”

If someone picks a fight with her, surely she can’t just swallow the loss?

However, the news seemed to have spread really fast. It was just past noon and the whole Chinese Department knew about it. By now, it had probably spread across the entire Imperial City University?

If so, all the rational students should know what really happened. Shen Yunsi should find it a bit harder to bank on Mo Shiting for his show-off.
