Just Lucky

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?"
