Gong Zhan blinked, as if he were reminded again of the times when Gu Zi had given him gifts in the past.
Back then, Gu Zi had been just like that – conflicted, yet bravely approaching him, offering him the best of what she had.
Gong Zhan knew that he was about to be married, and accepting a gift from MO Li, was somewhat inappropriate.
But when he thought of Gu Zi from the past, he felt that he had no reason to refuse.
This MO Li didn’t resemble Gu Zi, but like Gu Zi, she had a bit of cleverness about her, which he didn’t mind now.
Because at least MO Li, like Gu Zi back then, truly admired him and loved him. What man would refuse a love offered so readily? That would be foolish.
His gaze fell on MO Li once more, searching for similarities with Gu Zi. He pretended to be puzzled and slowly asked, “You haven’t been under my command for long, and you’re already thinking about promotion and a raise?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMO Li shook her head in a fluster, her face reddening as she explained, “No, Mr. Gong, I cto give you a wedding gift, to apologize for the damaging rumors about you. If you don’t accept it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to face my colleagues… I…”
As she spoke, she turned to leave, but Gong Zhan coldly called her back, “You’re quite thoughtful, what’s the gift?”
MO Li’s heart leaped with joy, but she maintained her earlier demeanor, turned back, and handed him the box, saying, “It’s a tie, I hope you won’t find it distasteful.”
Upon hearing the word ‘tie’, Gong Zhan felt a slight tickle in his heart. It was such a personal item.
He took the box from her, and MO Li knew her plan had worked once again. She feigned surprise, turned, and quickly left, nearly twisting her ankle in the process.
Gong Zhan watched her retreating figure for a long tbefore finally getting into his car with the gift box.
Uncle Yang wanted to say something, but remembering that he was ultimately just a subordinate, serving the Gong family, he held his tongue and drove away.
MO Li didn’t regain her normal expression until she reached the main gate of the compound, revealing a triumphant smile and greeting the security guards as she left.
Because MO Li was Gong Zhan’s secretary and had a close relationship with Lin
Miao, she had mentioned Lin Miao a few times when delivering documents to Gong Zhan, so the security guards recognized her. She now had unrestricted access to the military compound.
MO Li believed that as long as she stayed close to Gong Zhan, she would one day have unrestricted access to the Gong family as well.
This unexpected event had benefited that fool Lin Miao, but it was just her good luck. She couldn’t always be this lucky!
But no matter how clever MO Li was, she wouldn’t know that due to Lin Miao’s protagonist halo, Lin Miao might indeed always be this lucky.
In life, although ability is important, to put it in a mystical way, luck is also needed.
She didn’t understand that speople just didn’t have that kind of fate. She might not have the sluck as Lin Miao.
Meanwhile, Gu Zi and the others had already boarded the bus back to the village. Su Le was sleeping in Gu Zi’s arms. Gu Zi looked at her sleeping face, finding her more and more adorable, and kissed her forehead.
Seeing her daughter treating Su Shen’s child with such sincerity, Mother Lin didn’t think her foolish, but rather felt reassured.
Li Hua sat next to Gu Zi, staring at her for a long time, certain that MO Li’s dressing style was very similar to Gu Zi’s.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe remembered that when she had glanced over at the shop entrance earlier, she really thought she had seen Gu Zi.
She said to Gu Zi, “I think MO Li’s dressing is strange. It’s as if she’s deliberately imitating you.”
Gu Zi thought for a moment and cup with a possibility. Could MO Li have gotten close to Gong Zhan by doing this?
Gu Zi was almost certain now why MO Li had suddenly switched sides. Even if Lin Miao was foolish, she wouldn’t be blind to MO Li’s intentions after the office scandal. It’s just that Lin Miao had no other choice now.
Thinking about this, Gu Zi felt quite happy.
After all, Lin Miao had taken that betrothal money and put her in a difficult position. Now seeing Lin Miao upset, Gu Zi had no reason not to be happy.
What Gu Zi didn’t understand was, did the original author only consider giving the female lead a halo and not a brain when creating the characters?
Given the difference in intelligence between MO Li and Lin Miao, if the protagonist’s halo were removed, MO Li should be able to defeat Lin Miao easily, right?
The bus stopped at the village station. Gu Zi, holding the child, got off the bus.
When she reached the door of the Su family, she parted ways with Mother Lin..
