Upon opening the door and passing through the entrance foyer, the sight that greeted him was that of the girl, fast asleep on his desk.

She had remained indoors the entire day?

Engaging in dedicated study?

Or perhaps she was busy playing chess with Duke of Zhou in her dreams?

Heh….

Mo Shiting shook his head with an amused smile on his face, instinctively stepping lightly.

The study had only a single white desk lamp turned on, casting a soft glow on the girl’s delicate sleeping face – an image of pure, enchanting sweetness.

His deep gaze fell onto her soft red lips, her small mouth was slightly protruded, her adorable appearance caused his adam’s apple to bob involuntarily, stirring up a peculiar restlessness within him.

He forced himself to look away, his eyes inadvertently lingered on the sketches scattered around the table, his gaze dark as he picked up a few to examine more closely.

The more he looked at them, the more he couldn’t believe it.

Such solid designs weren’t something one could draw without years of professional experience.

What other talents did this little girl have that he wasn’t aware of?

Unable to resist, Mo Shiting reviewed another sketch – it was the exterior view of a museum.

The composition was extremely complex, if these ambitious designs could be further refined, they might indeed be realized one day.

“Ah, when did you come?”

Gu Li yawned, and upon opening her eyes to find Mo Shiting standing across from her, she jumped with surprise.

Shifting his attention back to her face, Mo Shiting held up the sketch in his hand, asking, “Did you draw this?”

“Yes.”

Gu Li did not deny. Rubbing her eyes, she asked with a grin, “How is it? Do you like my drawings?”

“Very poor.”

Mo Shiting deliberately furrowed his brows, teasing her.

“Ah? Seriously?”

Gu Li held her cheeks in her hands, visibly disheartened, “I thought I did pretty well.”

Seeing her deflated expression, Mo Shiting couldn’t help but smile, “I was just teasing you. Your drawings are good.”

“Truly?”

As expected, when he praised her, Gu Li’s eyes immediately sparkled. She flirtatiously winked at him, “Really? Can you please compliment me again?”

Mo Shiting:”…”

She’s way too cute!

Quickly changing the subject, he asked, “Why are you drawing so many sketches? What are you planning?”

Gu Li hurriedly retrieved the sketches from his hand, rolled them up like treasures and explained as she did so, “I have applied for Imperial City University and have to take the entrance exam on Saturday. Since I’m applying directly for the third year, they require proof of professional skills which is why I’ve prepared these drawings to show them.”

Unexpectedly receiving an answer like this, Mo Shiting was taken aback for a moment. Once he gathered his thoughts, he couldn’t help but ask, “You are going to college, but why didn’t you tell me?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Gu Li blinked, seeming a bit puzzled.

This was her personal affair, she shouldn’t need his approval, right?

At her words, Mo Shiting’s handsome face turned cold: “What is our relationship?”

“Our relationship…”

Gu Li paused, her lips pursed, at a loss for words.

Their current situation was that of a couple on the verge of divorce, but if she responded in that way now, wouldn’t it set off his temper?

Then she would definitely come to a bitter end, wailing…

“Speak!”

Not getting an immediate response, Mo Shiting’s tone turned colder.

Gu Li shivered, and finally summoned the courage to reply, “We’re husband and wife.”

When things got down to the wire, submission was the best option.

She hadn’t really considered his feelings when making the decision. Thinking about it now, she might have been in the wrong.

With this in mind, Gu Li quickly added, “I’m sorry, I honestly didn’t realize you would care so much. But, I didn’t hide it from you, did I? I answered as soon as you asked.”

“Hmph.”

Mo Shiting gruffly grunted. Seeing her repentant attitude, his expression softened somewhat, “The Design Department of Imperial City University is ranked first in the world. It’s difficult to get in.. Are you confident?”
