“I’ll give you the title of Mrs. Gu, but don’t even think about anything else.” What the hell? He’s my man—why can’t I kiss him, hug him, and lift him up? After being reborn, she humiliated her enemies and climbed her way up to the most powerful man in Li City. That trashy sister wants to rise to fame? She can dream! Watch her use her power to crush her in a heartbeat. That sleazy guy trying to pull strings through family connections? Hmph! No way—not a chance. After the wedding, her husband remained aloof and dignified, refusing to give in. Watch as she coaxes him with every trick in the book. Gu Mochen has nowhere to retreat. Since his wife is taking the initiative, he’ll reluctantly accept everything she offers—if he doesn’t give himself to her now, wouldn’t that be a terrible injustice to her?
Chapter 036: Do You Know What You Should and Shouldn’t Do? “Has Miss Sheng been acting up today?” Gu Mochen asked the bodyguard standing guard at the door. “Young Master, Miss Sheng has been very quiet today. She hasn’t made a fuss or caused any trouble, and she’s finished everything the servants brought her,” the bodyguard replied truthfully. Gu Mochen dismissed the two men before pushing the door open and stepping inside. Gu Sheng was up to something again. Her screaming and shouting a couple of days ago was one thing, but her sudden silence today actually made him a little worried. When Gu Mochen entered, Gu Sheng was sitting on the floor, surrounded by a huge pile of books. She had a pen clenched between her teeth, and even her delicate little face was smudged with black ink. Gu Mochen frowned. Had this girl actually changed her ways and realized she needed to do her homework? Gu Sheng was making notes bit by bit, calculating the dates with great precision. There were also some brief reports, all neatly pasted into her notebook. All the reports leading up to An Ran winning the Jinhua Award. “Haha! Finally done, perfect,” Gu Sheng exclaimed excitedly as she put her notebook away. This was An Ran’s perfect life—her past—and it was incredibly precious. “What are you doing?” Gu Mochen’s abrupt voice rang out in the room. Gu Sheng quickly hid the notebook behind her back, glaring at the man in front of her. She kicked everything on the floor toward his feet in one go, pouted, then turned and locked the notebook in the safe. “Studying,” Gu Sheng lied through her teeth. After being locked up for three days, she’d learned her lesson. She understood the saying: “When under someone’s roof, one must bow one’s head.” Besides, when it came to Gu Mochen, playing nice was definitely more effective than throwing a tantrum. Don’t let Gu Mochen’s perpetually cold expression fool you—as icy as he was, he had a soft spot deep down. “Do you know what you should and shouldn’t do now?” Gu Mochen asked, not buying a word of Gu Sheng’s explanation. However, judging by the current situation, it did seem she was telling the truth—she had been doing her homework—though the credibility of her claim was low. “Oh my! I won’t run off anymore. From now on, I’ll be a good girl and do exactly as you say. I promise not to cause you any trouble.” Gu Sheng tugged at Gu Mochen’s arm, speaking in a coquettish tone. “How much is your promise worth?” Gu Mochen gently pried Gu Sheng’s hand away, uncomfortable with her closeness. Gu Sheng looked at her empty hands with a scoff and stuck her tongue out at Gu Mochen. Her promise wasn’t worth much—she’d just said it offhand, yet he took it seriously. Of course, she couldn’t let Gu Mochen know that. “I swear, Grandpa spoils me so much—how could I bear to see him worry? Even if it’s just for Grandpa’s sake, I won’t do it again.” Gu Sheng brought the old man into the conversation, her little face looking very serious. That was what she truly felt; the old man’s love for her made her feel deeply guilty. “Remember what you said today. Come downstairs for breakfast tomorrow,” Gu Mochen said, his hands in his pockets, turning to leave. “Really? That’s great! I can leave my room?” Gu Sheng suddenly lunged forward, crashing into Gu Mochen from behind. Her head slammed hard against Gu Mochen’s back. She wrapped her arms around his towering frame and refused to let go. “I knew you still loved me, big brother.” “Let go!” Gu Mochen snapped, taken aback by Gu Sheng’s sudden lunge. If he hadn’t reacted quickly and steadied himself in time, he would have been knocked to the ground by Gu Sheng by now. “Big brother, I’m starting my internship in a few days. Can I go to school tomorrow?” Gu Sheng pressed her advantage and asked.
