Chapter 401: Chapter 313 – A Sweet Pear is Miss Gu l

“Hmm.”

Mo Shiting’s gaze turned elsewhere.

Under the dim street light, his handsome face seemed to flush slightly.

Did she see it wrong?

She wanted to look closely at his face, but his expression changed too quickly, and she couldn’t make out anything.

“What did you post?”

Gu Li clicked on the trending keywords to view their content while asking him.

However, before he could respond, she saw his tweet —

“Together forever @A sweet pear.”

Her heart was sweetened, she tiptoed and gently kissed his cheek, teasingly laughed, “You are quite smooth, Mr. Mo.”

Mo Shiting replied nonchalantly, “Just a random post.”

“Hehehe.”

Knowing that he was being modest, Gu Li giggled softly. She placed her hands around his neck, her eyes shining brighter with laughter, “Brother Ting, aren’t you afraid people will say you’re lovestruck by going all out declaring your love for me like this?”

Mo Shiting frowned, “What do you mean by lovestruck?”

Gu Li took out her phone, checked a site for definitions, and explained to him, “Love brain is a popular internet term, referring to a thought pattern that puts love first. The people with love brain would be willing to pay a not insignificant cost to satisfy, accompany their loved ones during their romantic relationships.”

“Hmmm.”

Mo Shiting nodded slightly, “Let them talk, I don’t care.”

“But I care.”

Gu Li leaned against his chest, sounding a bit agitated, “Why are you even bothering about those trolls? Brother Ting, although I’m touched by what you’ve done, I don’t think they deserve your response. If they start condemning you because of me, I will feel really sad.”

They can curse her all they want, but if they dared to aim their venom at him, she would not let it pass easily.

Mo Shiting put his arms around her waist, with a soft smile gracing his lips,

“Do not worry, no one would dare to curse me.”

“Are you sure?”

Gu Li was not as optimistic as he was, she said seriously, “I’m telling you, in the real world, no one might dare to curse you in person, but the internet brings forth countless keyboard warriors who indiscriminately bash anyone. They hate the world, yet pose themselves as the moral high ground, ready to curse anyone they find displeasing. They didn’t bother you before because you kept a low profile. But now, because of me, as you ‘fall from grace’, they may have begun cursing you.”

Gu Li was right. She opened Weibo again and aside from the joyous cheers from Gu Li’s readers and Shiting and Li’s couple fans, the trolls had indeed started to mock Mo Shiting for being lovestruck, throwing out terms like ‘crazy with love’, ‘insecton the brain’, and even making claims that theXinghe Group would be doomed because of Gu Li.

Of course, among these commenters, there were also Mo Shiting’s obsessed fans. On one hand, they were cursing Gu Li, on the other, trying to persuade Mo Shiting with all their might.

“A sweet pear really is a vixen, succeeding in getting Young Master Mo’s head spinning round and round. Young Master Mo, have you not read the story of the fall of the Shang Dynasty? With your resources, any woman may be at your disposal, so why choose a woman who would only hold you back and be of no help whatsoever?”

“Marriages among the wealthy always value matching social statuses. You and Miss Shen Yunsi make such a good match, why would you willingly degrade yourself, and throw away a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed?”

“Young Master Mo, wake up.”

“Young Master Mo, did A sweet pear cast a spell on you? Given your resources and social standing, even marrying a princess wouldn’t be a stretch. Why would you go for this crooked-neck pear?”

“Do you two actually have true love? If you do, then why did you divorce?”

“Please explain to the public, have you guys got divorced? Also, is A sweet pear faking her pregnancy?”

“Guys, some marketing account posted the audio! Everyone should go take a listen. The steward who is in charge of looking after A sweet pear bragged in front of Mrs. Mo, saying that A sweet pear was pregnant. But in reality, she wasn’t. This is so scandalous, even the elderly was cheated.”

Seeing this comment, Gu Li looked at Mo Shiting, both of them understood each other without saying a word, pulled out their phones and searched.

#A sweet pear alleged fake pregnancy#

This was newly trending.

If the previous series of keywords was nothing more than conjecture, merely defamatory, then this latest trending keyword was rooted in reality.

Upon playing the recording, what greeted them was Auntie Li confidently telling the old lady that the young madam was pregnant.

The trolls were instantly infuriated, criticizing all the more harshly.

Meanwhile, A sweet pear’s readers and supporters of the couple were outnumbered and outbarked by the trolls, their comments being drowned out by the countless hateful words.
