When he left, the spacious living room became still in an instant.

Mo Shiting looked around, only to find that every corner of the room, echoed with her laughter and joyful chatter.

He could not forget how she nestled on the sofa, enjoying her chips while watching the television with total satisfaction. Nor could he forget the times where she begged for fruits and wilfully demanded to be hand-fed by him, feigning a child’s tantrum. Most of all, he could not forget the countless nights spent here, tirelessly waiting up for him to return from work…

All of these ordinary yet cherished moments would soon be gone forever…

A Nation.

After a few days of rest, Gu Li’s health improved rapidly. Although she still cannot bounce around as she used to, there was no problem with normal activities.

However, she was not happy at all because Brother Ting hadn’t contacted her in a long time.

Ever since their brief phone conversation last time, they hadn’t been in touch.

Did he not leave the lab yet?

Gu Li sank into the sofa, biting her lip in confusion.

Of course, she had taken the initiative to call him, but his phone was turned off each time.

After several attempts, she stopped, deciding to wait for Mo Shiting to contact her instead.

Unfortunately, as the days passed, Mo Shiting seemed to have disappeared off the face of the earth, completely neglecting her.

Gu Li was slightly miffed and her resentment for Mo Shiting grew like a rolling snowball.

Murong Si had been out handling matters since early morning, leaving only servants and bodyguards in the vast mansion, apart from Gu Li.

With no one to chat with, Gu Li felt particularly bored.

It was then that Gu Susu appeared before her.

Gu Li knew that Murong Si had strictly forbidden Gu Susu from disturbing her. Therefore, she was quite surprised to see Gu Susu sneaking into her room like a thief, “How… how did you get in?”

“Shh!”

Gu Susu signaled her to keep quiet as she gently closed the door.

Gu Li hid a smile, “What are you doing? Have you turned to thievery?”

Gu Susu caught her breath, lowering her voice, “Keep it down, don’t let the servants of the Murong family know I’m here.”

“Hmm.”

“You’re laughing? Do you have any idea what kind of ordeal I had to go through to come and rescue you?”

Gu Susu glared at her displeased.

Rescue her?

Gu Li blinked, not quite understanding her meaning.

Gu Susu ignored her, rushed into the bathroom to wash off the dust from her body, and only then stepped out feeling fresh and invigorated.

“Hey, I’m dying of thirst. Pour me a glass of water.”

Gu Susu ordered Gu Li without any qualms.

Gu Li clutched the pillow in her arms, “Pour it yourself.”

“Fine, considering you’re injured, I won’t argue with you.”

Having said that, Gu Susu went to the bar counter, poured herself a glass of warm water, gulping down half of it, and felt instantly satisfied.

After quenching her thirst, she quickly approached Gu Li who was lazily sitting there, and asked her mysteriously, “Hey, do you know how I got in? You must be really curious, right?”

Gu Li wanted to roll her eyes, “No, I’m not curious at all.”

“Hmph! You must be really curious!”

GuLi: “…”

“Alright, then I, in my benevolence, will tell you. It turns out there is a secret passageway between our house and the Murong family’s mansion. I sneaked in through that passage.”

Gu Susu triumphantly revealed this great secret that she had heard from Bai Ruyan.

Gu Li looked at her skeptically, “You’re stretching it too far with this prank.”

“I’m not joking! If you don’t believe me, I can take you out.”

Gu Susu was incredibly serious.

Gu Li declined, “Not interested.”

“Hey, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.”

Gu Susu got exasperated, hands on hips, she confidently said, “Let me tell you the truth, today I’m here to get you out of here. You have to go even if you don’t want to, because I won’t allow you to stay and seduce Brother Si!”

Gu Li remained silent and closed her eyes pretending to sleep, “Too lazy to bother with you.”

Seeing her uncooperative attitude, Gu Susu gritted her teeth, pushed her, “Gu Li, do you have any idea what day it is today?”

“What day?”

Gu Li opened her eyes, her curiosity piqued.

It wasn’t her birthday and it wasn’t any special day either. She had no idea what was so special about today.

Gu Susu chuckled, taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune, “Seems like you forgot. Today is the last day of the cooling-off period for your divorce with Mo Shiting. Remembered it now? In other words, if you don’t show up at the Civil Affairs Bureau in Hua Country with Mo Shiting by the end of work tomorrow, you’ll become ‘the woman who lost her husband’, you silly woman!”

“What?”

Gu Li was still somewhat confused, and it took her a few seconds to react.

Oh shit!

She had completely and wholly forgotten about this matter.
