"The Mo Family’s morals are truly admirable, wanting to kidnap a child and even sends a butler to do it?!" Gu Lili sneered, "Thinking that the child’s father is not around, they want to take advantage of the child’s lineage for banditry?"
"Don’t worry." Long Yubei said in a deep voice to comfort Nan Yuesheng’s emotions, "Before Ling Qi comes back, I absolutely won’t let anyone take the child away. Just stay here with me. If they call again, don’t answer it. Take good care of Ningyi, leave the rest to me."
Nan Yuesheng nodded, "Okay, I was somewhat panicked at first, but now I feel much more at ease. Yu Bei, Sister Lili, thank you. If Ling Qi can still make it back alive, I will definitely have him thank you for your great kindness."
Gu Lili smiled lightly, "Yuesheng, you’re making it sound too serious. It’s not some great kindness. Ningyi’s dad is close with Yu Bei. It’s only right to lend a hand in tough times, don’t feel burdened. Have you eaten yet? If not, why don’t you join us?"
"We’ve just eaten, you go ahead."
Watching Nan Yuesheng holding Ningyi as she left, Gu Lili sighed lightly, "It’s not easy for the mother and daughter. If it were me, whoever tried to take my child, I would not rest until I fought them to the end!"
Long Yubei looked at her all worked up, and couldn’t help but laugh, "That day will never come for you and me."
Gu Lili’s expression faltered and she overthought again...
’That day will never come’?
There were several layers of meaning in that.
"Yes, that day will never come for you and me, after all, I will never have children with you in my life." Official source ıs novel✶fire.net
After gazing deeply at her for a few seconds, Long Yubei said, "And you better not even think of having them with anyone else, otherwise, I can’t be certain whether I would do something inhumane."
"What specifically do you mean by ’inhumane’ in your words?"
Long Yubei, smiling, asked, "What are you hmph-ing about?"
"So you definitely have to behave yourself for me."
A few days went by, and Old Madam Long was discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, on the night of her return, Gu Lili received a paranormal phone call.
She and Long Yubei were lingering in the car near the Long Family Mansion tonight.
After taking the call, several minutes had passed.
The car stopped outside the main gate, Long Yubei went to check on Old Madam Long, while she quickly followed the ghost wandering around the mansion to find the woman in red.
Gu Lili arrived behind a tree some twenty meters away from Old Madam Long’s bedroom window.
At first glance, she saw the woman in red standing at the window, hair indeed reaching the ground.
To be cautious, Gu Lili took out five pieces of talisman paper and chanted the most powerful spell.
The moment the voice stopped, the five pieces of talisman paper flew towards the woman in red like divine swords.
When the woman turned her head, the five pieces of talisman paper quickly attached themselves to her forehead, two arms, and two legs.
Her gaze passed through and landed on Gu Lili who was slowly approaching.
"Finally caught you."
The woman tried to break free from the talisman paper, but was hopelessly struggling. She glared at Gu Lili, her voice carrying a chilling eeriness, "What do you want?"
"Don’t you know what I want? Who sent you here?"
"Do you think I will tell you?"
"Then do you think I will let you go?" Gu Lili sneered, "I heard that the underworld punishes ghosts who, even as Dead Souls, still harm people very severely. Seeing how stubborn you are, you must be very eager to report to the underworld. Perhaps I should send you off now."
