There stood two rows of fully-armed guards at the outpost.

They recognized Gu Li.

Seeing Gu Li with a tall and handsome young man, they all stood at attention and saluted: “Good day, Miss!”.

Gu Li gave them a slight smile and a nod: “Hello, everyone.”

After exchanging greetings, she led Mo Shiting in.

Upon entering the Gu Family’s courtyard, they encountered several patrolling guards along the pathway.

Upon seeing Gu Li, they all instinctively stopped, bowed respectfully, and greeted her, before continuing on their patrol.

Although it was not Mo Shiting¹ s first time visiting the Gu family, he had last come at night and had not had the chance to observe the surrounding environment closely. Today, he finally got a clear look at where she had spent her childhood.

In truth, the architectural style of the Gu’s residence was not much different from Mo Mansion, only that this place had nurtured the sweetest pear, which gave him a sense of warmth and affinity.

“Brother Ting, what are you thinking about? Why haven’t you spoken since we entered?”

Seeing that he hadn’t spoken since they entered the gate, Gu Li couldn’t help asking out of concern.

Mo Shiting pulled himself together, his gaze deep as he looked at her. “I was thinking that the land and water of your home must be good.”

“Huh? How did you deduce that?”

Gu Li was somewhat curious.

After all, having lived here for so many years, she had never felt that way.

Mo Shiting deliberately played coy: “Have a guess.”

“Hmph, how can I guess that.”

Gu Li pouted.

Mo Shiting curved his lips slightly, but remained silent.

Gu Li’s eyes darted around in contemplation, then suddenly, a lightbulb went off and she burst out laughing.

“Brother Ting, I’ve figured it out. Hehe.”

“Oh? Let’s hear it.”

The man’s eyes and eyebrows were filled with affection.

Gu Li tilted her head and blinked adorably, “Well, they say the land and water of a place shapes its people. If the land and water of my house is good, it can nurture loveable pears like me, right? Haha, I am so clever and adorable.”

Mo Shiting:

While her words were true, she was a bit too narcissistic.

His thin lips slightly curved up, ready to say something, when he caught sight of an elderly man, about 60 years old, wearing a Zhongshan suit, rushing towards them.

If nothing was out of place, this man should be the family steward.

Sure enough, the next moment, the man came to Gu Li and said in an affectionate tone, “Miss, the Family Head wishes to see you and Mr. Mo.”

Gu Li instinctively turned to look at Mo Shiting, then gave a slight smile, “Okay, please lead the way, Uncle Tan.”

She was slightly taken aback that her father would be willing to see Brother Ting. She had initially planned to secretly hide Brother Ting in her room.

“Please follow me.”

After Uncle Tan had finished speaking, his gaze lingered on Mo Shiting for a moment, he couldn’t help sighing inwardly.

So, this was the man whom their young miss held affection for all this time.

Indeed, he was impressive to behold.

However, attempting to become the Gu’s family’s son-in-law was not an easy task.

At least for now, the family head was utterly opposed to it.

The two followed Uncle Tan up to the entrance of the main house where Gu Yuan resided.

Uncle Tan went in first to report, then quickly came out, “The Family Head is busy at the moment, could Miss and Mr. Mo please wait at the entrance.”

Gu Li’s first reaction was that her father was trying to assert his dominance, and as such, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, “How long should we wait?” “Well, it should be soon.”

Uncle Tan couldn’t be sure.

Who could guess the thoughts of the Family Head.

Perhaps he would let them in the next moment, or perhaps, have them stand there until nightfall.

Gu Li purse her lips and stared at the ground, presumably lost in thought.

Of course, Shiting could guess Gu Yuan’s intentions, but he didn’t voice his opinions. He just stood quietly beside Gu Li, accompanying her in wait.

Approximately 10 minutes had passed, and Gu Yuan had not called them in.

“Uncle Tan…”

Gu Li addressed Uncle Tan directly, “Since my father is busy, I’ll take Brother Ting to rest first, and we’ll come to him when he’s done.”

If it were only her, she wouldn’t mind waiting. But Brother Ting was a guest, and this wasn’t exactly a welcoming reception.

Her father was going a bit too far.

Uncle Tan could tell that she was unhappy, but still tried to advise her kindly, “Miss, you should wait a bit more, so as not to offend the Family Head.” “Offend? Isn’t he already venting his anger on us?”

Gu Li couldn’t help but retort.

Shiting gently patted her shoulder and whispered, “It’s okay, let’s wait a bit longer.”

Having eloped with another’s daughter, and causing her to fall into potential danger, it was ultimately his fault.
