When it was time to sleep, Gu Lili placed the porcelain dolls on the dresser.
The more she looked, the more she felt it would be wonderful to have such a pair of children.
Long Yubei saw her sitting there amusing herself tirelessly, his eyes deep as he rested his head on his arm, "If you keep staring at those dolls, you’re going to make them come to life."
Gu Lili got up and pounced on the bed, swinging her legs and propping her hands under her chin. With watery eyes blinking, she said, "Husband, there are twins genes in the family. I hope my first pregnancy will also be twins so I can have two at once and not have to suffer twice. Imagine, two chubby and adorable babies lying on the bed. My heart is melting already."
He remained unmoved, "I don’t want that."
She said with a deflated tone, "You won’t say that once you have them."
Gu Lili kicked off her shoes and crawled over, pulling his arm down from behind his head to use it as her pillow, "I suddenly have a question for you, can you answer me truthfully?"
"When would you give up on me?"
Long Yubei didn’t expect her to ask this, "To be truthful, there are three scenarios."
She listened intently, "Which three?"
"First, if I become utterly tired and disgusted by you, not wanting to see you anymore. Second, if you do something unforgivable, there’s a wide range of possibilities there. Third, if you have an affair behind my back. I would give up on you." After he finished, he asked her, "And you?"
Gu Lili lifted her face and said two words, "Disappointment. If I become extremely disappointed in you, I wouldn’t hesitate to give up on you and never look back. I won’t use the word ’despair’ because to me, disappointment is enough to destroy a harmonious relationship and make the other person give up hope. I’m someone who can let go when necessary, even if I like you very much. If you disappoint me, then it’s over between us."
"That word could encompass too much."
"Of course." She grabbed his hand with distinct knuckles and long fingers, "Your hand is so beautiful, I could play with it for a year."
He hugged her out of habit, "Let’s sleep."
The lights went out, and since Gu Lili had taken a nap in the afternoon, she wasn’t sleepy.
But Long Yubei had fallen asleep, and soon she could hear his long and even breathing.
She lay there until a white figure suddenly floated in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. She squinted, and the white figure raised a hand making a ’follow me’ gesture.
Gu Lili slowly got up, put on her slippers, and went out the door.
The white figure stood beside the swing. She was about to walk over when Tang Qingli called out to her, "Young Madam, do you need anything?"
"No, I just can’t sleep, going to sit on the swing for a bit."
"Alright." Tang Qingli walked away.
She walked over leisurely and naturally sat next to the swing, whispering, "Who are you?"
"I heard that you can see Dead Souls. I’ve come to see you today and it seems true. I would like to make a deal with you." Googlᴇ search novel★fire.net
As this voice emerged, Gu Lili was somewhat shocked. Observing the figure and the long hair reaching to the waist, hell, it was a man...
"What deal? Just say it."
"I need you to do something for me, but I will give you a very generous reward."
"Help me find a recently deceased male body, aged between 18 and 35, good-looking, and unmarried."
