"I won’t be in a hurry anymore."
"Let’s go home." Long Yubei’s lips were tightly pursed. "Grandma wants you to have dinner at the old house tonight."
No wonder he came to find her...
"You go back first, I’ll return after I’ve eaten lunch," she said, turning to enter the house without giving him another glance.
The cigarette in Long Yubei’s hand fell to the ground, each word she had spoken stabbing at his heart.
But Gu Lili didn’t care what he was thinking at that moment; she went back to the dinner table to eat, and Su Changzhi asked, "Did he come to call you back?"
"Mhm." Gu Lili looked down. "I want a child, but he doesn’t—or rather, he doesn’t want one with me. Says he doesn’t want one for the next few years. I guess he’s just waiting to get tired of me and kick me to the curb without any complications. I know what he means and I’m prepared for it. We’ll live together if we can, and if we can’t, I won’t insist."
"Thank goodness you’re a person with conviction. People with conviction do not regret their own decisions. Just keep walking the path before you; as for the future, leave it to heaven."
Gu Lili smiled brightly. "When I go back, feel free to stay here. The house has everything; it’s just that you’ll have to do things for yourself."
"No problem, I’ll call you when the pills are ready."
After lunch, Gu Lili went back to Qin Garden. When Tang Qingli saw her return, he was quick to speak in his master’s defense. "Young Madam, when you’re not at home, the young master suffers from insomnia every day. He’s always thinking about you." Chapters fırst released on novel_fіre.net
She didn’t believe a word. "How could that be? Your young master must be enjoying himself even more without me."
"He can’t enjoy himself alone." Tang Qingli covered his mouth, chuckling. "These past few days, the young master’s face is as frightening as if he’s about to eat someone. It’s really scary."
"How come he hasn’t eaten you yet?"
"I’m too big to swallow, haha. Young Madam, don’t be angry with the young master, that’s just his personality. Just give him a beating, and it’ll be all right."
Gu Lili rarely smiled. "That’s a good idea, but he’s not weaker than me in a fight. If it gets serious, I might lose."
"If you want to vent, I can ask Chang Tai to put some Soft Muscle Powder in his food; that will calm him down."
"That’s enough, don’t drag Chang Tai into this. If your young master knew you were thinking this, he’d punish you again. Let’s keep things peaceful, I’m fine."
She hurried upstairs, took a quick and refreshing bath, and then lay down for an afternoon nap in her camisole dress.
When she awoke, she was startled to find Long Yubei lying next to her, propping his head with his arm and watching her.
"Shouldn’t you be at the company at this time?" she asked slowly sitting up, "What brought you back?"
Long Yubei pulled her into his embrace. "Qing Li called and said you were back."
Gu Lili didn’t react. "Didn’t we already agree this afternoon that I would come back?"
"But when he said you were home, I still came back. Lili, let’s reconcile."
Gu Lili looked up. "Is this you asking for peace?"
He lowered his proud head. "Yes."
"Alright," she agreed. She didn’t feeling, but reconciliation didn’t mean she had forgotten about it. The reason for their cold war was a warning sign.
Hearing her tone soften, he hugged her tightly. "What’s the deal with that man? He was supposed to be dead, then he came back to life. Did you have something to do with it?"
It looks like he had investigated.
"His name is Su Changzhi. It was just a case of ’repossessing a body to
