Be a Good Boy and Marry Me-Chapter 519 - 353 Adopting a Nominal Relative_1

Chapter 519: Chapter 353 Adopting a Nominal Relative_1

“Brother Cong, even if you marry someone else, I’m still your sister. You can’t treat me like this.”

Li Ruoruo said pitifully.

Her change of attitude was so quick that even Murong Qian was impressed.

Thankfully, Lu Cong was not swayed by her fake b*tch act, tossing an indifferent “manage on your own,” and then pulled Murong Qian away.

Watching their retreating figures, Li Ruoruo stomped her foot in frustration.

Damn it, she would not let this pass easily!

…

Having left the café, Murong Qian asked Lu Cong, “How did you know I was here?”

Lu Cong replied, “I happened to see your car nearby and followed it.”

“Oh.”

Murong Qian replied indifferently.

Lu Cong quirked an eyebrow, “My presence upset you?”

“Of course not.”

Murong Qian wrapped her arm through his, speaking truthfully, “I was just wondering how we could find the hypnotherapist who treated you back then. According to Li Ruoruo, it seems like only he can help you regain your memory.”

Lu Cong narrowed his eyes in thought, “I suppose I’ll have to confront my mother about it.”

Just now, he had contacted the hypnotherapist DR.JOE who was equally puzzled about his condition and suggested him to look for the previous hypnotherapist—a suggestion akin to Li Ruoruo’s.

When Lu Cong told all this to Murong Qian, the girl frowned, showing some resistance, “Maybe…we should let it be? Let’s not retrieve the memory significantly.”

Given what happened four years ago, she could not afford to let him go so easily.

What if he falls into his mother’s trap again, gets hypnotized and forgets her? What would she do then?

She doesn’t want to risk that again.

Lu Cong was fully aware of Murong Qian’s concerns, and his heart ached slightly.

Subconsciously, he clutched Murong Qian’s hand, his soft-spoken voice tinged with slight remorse, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I didn’t make you feel secure enough.”

“Lu Cong…”

Murong Qian looked at him, about to say something, but he put his finger on her lips, stopping her from speaking further.

“I know what you want to say. Don’t worry, this time, no one can control me. I won’t allow anyone to part us!”

…

Two days later.

Gu Li and Mo Shiting arrived at the capital’s international airport in M Country on a private plane.

Murong Qian and Lu Cong drove there to pick them up.

“Little Pear, I’ve missed you so much.”

Upon seeing Gu Li, Murong Qian immediately ran over, enveloping her in a huge embrace.

Both women walked off arm in arm, chattering and laughing.

Mo Shiting and Lu Cong, each carrying a suitcase, nodded to each other and followed behind them.

“Living a cushy life, aren’t you?”

Seeing Lu Cong looking refreshed, Mo Shiting couldn’t resist poking fun at him.

Lu Cong replied with a playful tone, “Of course. I’ve decided to register for marriage with Qianqian next month.”

“Next month?”

Mo Shiting’s eyes lit up swiftly, “Don’t compete with me for the same day.”

He had already picked his day—November 8th, a good day for marriage.

As long as Lu Cong doesn’t pick the same day, everything else can be discussed.

Lu Cong glanced at him, “There are so many people registering for marriage daily in Hua Country. Don’t you think it’s a bit overbearing to not let anyone register on the same day as you?”

Mo Shiting replied flatly, “I’m only targeting you.”

Lu Cong was speechless, “Isn’t that a bit…inhumane?”

“…”

“Which day are you choosing?”

“The 8th.”

“Fine then, I’ll pick the 6th.”

Lu Cong decided to compromise and not fight over the 8th.

Who knew, as soon as he finished speaking, Mo Shiting interjected flatly, “It’s not ideal for marriage before the 8th, choose the 28th.”

Lu Cong: “???”

“No way! The 28th is too late. I can’t wait.”

“Tsk.”

Mo Shiting just scoffed lightly. “Are both the parents settled? The Lu family aside, has the Murong family agreed to marry their daughter to you?”

Lu Cong: “…”

Alright, both their families seemed to not having crossed this hurdle yet, unlike the surefire marriage between Mo Shiting and Gu Li.

He had to find an opportunity to speak with Qianqian about visiting her parent’s in A nation to seek their approval as soon as possible.

…

The car headed towards Murong Qian’s villa.

Lu Cong was driving with Mo Shiting as the co-pilot, leaving the back seats for the two chatty women.

“Pear, do you have to stay in a hotel during the competition?”

Murong Qian thought that Gu Li would be staying at her place during this time, but it turned out she was only staying for one night.

Gu Li leaned on her hand, “The host requires isolation during the competition, so I have to comply.”

“And Mo Shiting? Does he also have to stay separate?”

“Yes, that’s correct. But, Brother Ting has already booked a room in the same hotel.”

They might not meet, but being in the same place made them feel more secure.

“Also, Sister Yining will arrive tomorrow.”

Ye Yining had been busy recording her new album, which was expected to be completed tomorrow.

The Brain Challenge competition lasted three days, with head-to-head matches on the first two days, which were broadcast live with no public audience. On the third day, there was the final round, where friends, family, and the public could attend and cheer for the contestants.

To support her, Ye Yining insisted to fly over and would be arriving on the third day.

“Then I’d better go live in the hotel with Lu Cong tomorrow.”

Murong Qian decided on the plans abruptly.

Gu Li glanced at her, “What about Xunxun? Are you just going to abandon him?”

“Oh, please. He has people to look after him, alright?”

Given that Lu Cong was present, Murong Qian dared not delve further into matters related to their son and shifted the topic instead, “Oh right, I went to Tang Xin Entertainment to discuss a collaboration a few days ago and happened to run into Tang Yue. It seems that he has a thing for Yining. Do you think we should play matchmaker?”

Gu li perked up at this, “Really? I was too busy recently to pay attention to these matters.”

As she spoke, she couldn’t help but turn to ask Mo Shiting, who was in the front seat, “Brother Ting, Tang Yue is your friend, could you help us get a hint of his thoughts?”

Mo Shiting turned to her, “Do you think we would talk about such things?”

“Well…can we arrange a dinner then?”

“No problem.”

Mo Shiting agreed immediately.

He was planning to have a meal with Tang Yue anyway.

“Why not call him now and make arrangements?”

“Is it that urgent?”

“Of course.”

“Alright then.”

Unable to resist his wife’s persistence, Mo Shiting picked up his phone and dialed Tang Yue.

Tang Yue answered almost immediately, “Hello. Have you arrived in M Country?”

In a deep voice, Mo Shiting responded, “Yes.”

“Would you like to have dinner tonight as a welcome? ”

“I’m busy tonight. How about the day after tomorrow?”

“Alright.”

Tang Yue agreed readily and then added, “Gu Li has the finals the day after tomorrow, right? I will be there to support her.”

“Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. Besides, my sister will also be there that day. I’m planning for her to meet Gu Li. If they hit it off, they might become god-sisters.”

Mo Shiting: “???”

…

After hanging up the phone, Mo Shiting furrowed his brows.

Seeing him not speaking, Gu Li couldn’t hold herself back from questioning, “Brother Ting, is it settled?”

Mo Shiting looked at her, “Yes, he’ll be there for your competition the day after tomorrow.”

Gu Li’s smile was as radiant as a flower. “Then you both should sit together in the friends-and-family area.”
