Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart

That night, Mu Li had a video call with Gu Tingxiao. Looking at the man's handsome face in the video, Mu Li asked, "How long will it take for you to travel?"

"Half a month." It had already been three days since he left, and according to the usual time, it would still take around half a month.

Mu Li's eyes dimmed a little. "Still need so much time?"

The two of them had only been together for less than two months, but ever since this man had left home, she felt that she wasn't used to it.

"You miss me?" Gu Tingxiao smiled.

"Not really. Oh right, there's something I need to tell you. Your big brother came to our house today." Mu Li said.

Gu Tingxiao didn't seem to care. He knew why this man had gone to their home, "And then?"

"I said that you went looking for a woman, and even purposely showed me a picture of a woman in your arms." For some reason, even though she knew that Gu Shenwei was purposely trying to sow discord, she still felt a bit of a pang in her heart.

"Haha, silly girl."

Hearing the man's laughter, Mu Li was a little angered. "What are you laughing at? It's not like I believe his words. Otherwise, why would I be watching a video with you today?"

"Rest well. When I get back, I'll take you directly to work at the company." Gu Tingxiao knew that Mu Li was intelligent and that he couldn't just waste resources like that.

"Ah?" "I'm afraid I can't do it …" Although she had previously graduated from a famous university, she had been working part-time outside of the university for the past few years. She did not have any working experience at all, and she was afraid that she would not be able to handle it.

Gu Chen sucked in a deep breath. "As my personal secretary, how could I not?"

Mu Li, "…" Why did it feel like she had snatched the job of narrating to him?

It was probably because he had talked to Gu Tingxiao on the phone that Mu Li was in a good mood and had slept soundly that night.

After Mu Li woke up, he changed his clothes and headed downstairs. Surprisingly, Gu Tingxiao was actually sitting at the dining table.

Mu Li, who was standing at the corner of the stairs, forcefully blinked his eyes, then patted his own face. "Sister Liu, am I dreaming?"

Sister Liu turned around and saw her slapping herself in the face. She immediately stepped forward. "Xiao Li, what are you doing?"

But there was a smile on Sister Liu's face as she understood why Mu Li was like this.

"I wonder if I'm still awake." Mu Li whispered softly into Sister Liu's ear. However, no matter how many times he blinked, Gu Tingxiao was still a real existence.

"Don't think too much. The young master came back this morning and hasn't had breakfast yet. Go and accompany the young master for breakfast."

Saying so, Sister Liu continued her work in the kitchen while Mu Li walked in front of Gu Tingxiao and waved a hand in front of his eyes.

"You still don't believe that I'm real?" Seeing Mu Li's probing look, Gu Tingxiao couldn't help but find it laughable.

"I still can't believe it." Mu Li sat across from Gu Tingxiao and took a bite from the bread on the table.

"Why are you back?" Mu Li swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked.

"I don't know which silly girl said she missed me last night, but I was afraid that she might fall sick, so I came back early to take a look." Gu Tingxiao said as he ate.

"Aren't you tormenting yourself? It just so happens that I am back. You should take a good rest at home. "

Gu Ting Chen didn't seem to care too much about his body. If it wasn't working late into the night, then it was working late into the night. It was obvious that he was overtaxing his body.

"I didn't expect my little matron to be so thoughtful." The words' little steward's wife 'made Mu Li's face redden slightly.

After dinner, Mu Li strongly requested for Gu Tingxiao to rest at home. However, Gu Tingxiao stubbornly insisted on his decision and left the department store with Mu.

"Miss Mu?"

Just as Mu Li was strolling around with Gu Tingxiao, a man's voice sounded from behind him.

When the two of them turned around, Mu Li saw that the man was Mo Ling, who had previously saved his life.

"So it's really you. I even thought that I had recognized the wrong person." Mo Ling walked to Mu Li's side before lowering his head to look at Gu Tingxiao.

When Gu Tingxiao saw the man, his brows knitted together tightly. A cold light flashed in his eyes and his facial features warned the man not to get too close to Mu Li.

"Ting Chen, when I was shopping with Sister Liu, I was almost hit by a car. It was this Mr Mo who saved me. In the end, I have yet to properly thank Mr Mo."

A warm smile hung on Mu Li's face, making people feel relaxed upon seeing it.

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning. If Miss Mu really wants to repay this debt of gratitude, you might as well treat me to a meal today." Mo Ling looked at Mu Li with a peculiar glint in his eyes.

"I'm not free." Without waiting for Mu Li's reply, Gu Tingxiao rejected him immediately.

Hearing Gu Tingxiao's refusal, Mu Li couldn't help but be stunned, "What's wrong?"

"I'm tired."

When Mu Li heard this, he could only smile helplessly. It was about time for Gu Tingxiao to have a good rest.
