Rich Family's Substitute Sweetheart

Mu Li looked at Mo Ling with a hint of apology in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Teacher Mo. My husband's body isn't feeling well. I'll bring him back to rest first …"

"Why is it that you feel uncomfortable when you meet me?" Is it because Mr. Gu is not feeling well, or did he feel unwell after meeting me? " Mo Ling pressed on, as though he was trying to force Gu Tingxiao to tell him the truth.

"The reason for him being in good health and being in bad condition is naturally related to the people he meets. I didn't expect this mister to know his limits." Gu Tingxiao was not one to be outdone. He immediately returned the favor.

Mu Li, "…" What a strong smell of smoke.

Mu Li couldn't help being a little worried. If this carried on, the two of them would probably start fighting.

"Mr. Mo, I'm sorry, my husband just came back from a business trip and the time difference has not come back yet. I will treat you to a banquet later." Mu Li said apologetically once again.

"Miss Mu, there's no need for you to be so polite. I will be staying in Seahold for a long period of time. There will be many more chances for us to meet."

A profound look appeared in Mo Ling's eyes. Then, his gaze landed on Gu Tingxiao's cold face, and a complacent smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Xiao Li, where's my wallet?" Just as the two of them were about to leave, Gu Tingxiao suddenly spoke up. Mu Li looked at the man's hands and noticed that his wallet was missing.

"Could it be that it was placed on the counter when I was buying just now?" Mu Li couldn't help but feel a little worried. What kind of person was Gu Tingxiao? If he lost his wallet, then the damage he suffered wouldn't be something that could be easily estimated.

"Go find him, I'll wait for you here."

"Alright, I'll be right down." Saying that, Mu Li ran towards the shop he had just entered.

At this moment, only Gu Tingxiao and Mo Ling were left staring at each other.

"I didn't think that the dignified Second Young Master of the Gu family would use such a method. Is there anything he wants to say to me, that he wants to part with his wife?" Mo Ling lowered his head and looked at the man in the wheelchair. Even though his legs were crippled, no one dared to underestimate his ferocity.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Tingxiao snapped coldly.

However, a hint of playfulness flashed past Mo Ling's eyes as he sat down on a chair not far away from Gu Tingxiao. "This place isn't your home, so why aren't you allowing me to come here?"

Gu Tingxiao was getting impatient, "You're courting death."

"I suddenly feel that Seaside City is much more interesting than Western Europe. Especially this little wife of yours, she suits my taste."

Mo Ling didn't care at all about the fact that Mu Li and the man in front of him were husband and wife.

"If you like it, you can just take it." Gu Tingxiao didn't seem to care at all, as if Mu Li was nothing more than a treasure that anyone could have if they wanted it.

However, at this moment, Mo Ling frowned as a look of disbelief appeared on his face, "She is your wife."

Gu Tingxiao's eyes turned unfathomable, "It's just a business marriage, how much affection does she have?"

"Pa …" The sound of something falling could be heard coming from behind him. Upon hearing it, Gu Ting Chen's spine stiffened and his fingers gripped his sleeves to hide his panic.

However, Mo Ling did not discover anything out of the ordinary. Instead, there was an additional trace of playfulness on the corner of his mouth, "Since that's the case, why don't you give your wife to me?"

"I have no objections. You can ask my wife if she wants to go with you." Gu Bo Chen pushed his wheelchair forward and turned his head to look at Mu Li. "Do you like this man?"

Mu Li's eyes reddened as he tried his best to suppress his tears.

Only after a long while did Mu Li loosen his tightly clenched hands. At this moment, her fingertips were already turning white, which was enough proof of how hard she was clenching them.

Mu Li bent down and picked up the purse that had just dropped, "Mister Mo, please don't joke with me. Gu Tingxiao and I are already married and have no intention of changing our marriage. "Ting Chen, your wallet has fallen at the front desk where you just sold things. Next time, remember to take it with you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Ling apologetically before pushing Gu Tingxiao away from the store.

The moment he turned around, Gu Tingxiao could clearly see Mu Li's reddened eyes.

Gu Tingxiao clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his rage.

"Heh, interesting …" Mo Ling chuckled and walked away in the opposite direction from the two of them.

Gu TingChen sat on the wheelchair, feeling like he had something to say to Mu Li, but he didn't know how to do so.

Returning to the car, the whole workshop became deathly silent, making it hard to breathe.

After a long while, Mu Li finally said slowly, "Ting Chen, do you think I'm an unnecessary person?"

No.

Gu Tingxiao recited the words in his heart, but he didn't know how to speak them out loud.

Mu Li looked hopefully at Gu Ting Chen, but the latter simply closed his eyes and didn't reply.

Mu Li lowered his head and laughed awkwardly. "Haha, I know."

"Alright, let's go home first. You should take a good rest, sneaking back after a business trip isn't a good leader." Mu Li tried his best to restrain his emotions, but Gu Tingxiao could tell that her voice was choked with sobs.

"Yes." As he spoke, Gu Tingxiao closed his eyes once more.

Mu Li no longer looked at Gu Tingxiao. He turned his head towards the window's edge to look at the passing pedestrians. In the next second, a sparkling teardrop fell onto his hand.
