Antonio laughed, "Well then, come out with young master, let’s go have some food and drinks."
"Okay." She followed him up the stairs and climbed out of the swimming pool.
Antonio took her back to the room and had the servant prepare a set of maid’s clothes for her. Updates are released by NovєlFіre.net
"Just make do with these for now, I’ll get you some new clothes once it’s daylight."
"It’s not necessary to go through all the trouble." Gu Lili took the clothes to change.
Antonio instructed the kitchen to prepare some food and drinks.
Gu Lili changed her clothes and came out, while Antonio was lying on the bed humming a tune, feeling very comfortable.
"Tell me, what were you doing sneaking into my place in the middle of the night?"
"Hahahahahaha," he suddenly burst into laughter, "Saying you’re doing bad things so confidently, have you succeeded?"
"You...didn’t you kill my cousin by any chance?"
Antonio sighed, "Why didn’t you do it?"
"You really wish I had done it?"
"He wants to kill you guys, it would be completely reasonable if you fought back."
"Oh, although I didn’t kill him, someone will probably come to kill him soon."
Antonio became very interested, "Who?"
"You’ll know tomorrow."
"Alright, young master will wait."
Gu Lili stretched her arms and yawned.
"You can’t leave tonight anyway, they must be searching for you everywhere. Sending you out now would definitely raise suspicion, stay here for the night, and I will take you out tomorrow."
Gu Lili was somewhat puzzled, "You... why don’t you just hand me over to your grandfather?"
"I’m not crazy, why would I hand you over to him?" Antonio was very straightforward, "You’re the girl I like, and since you’re dealing with Andong Fengling, I’m happy to help you."
"I’m not a girl," she corrected, "I’m a married woman."
"In my eyes, you are a girl."
"Antonio, I won’t cheat while married, can’t we just be friends?"
"Am I asking you to cheat?" He seemed very magnanimous, "I’ll make my move after you get divorced. Who wants to be just friends? I’m only short on women, not friends."
Gu Lili took the tray from the servant’s hands, placed it on the table, and asked, "Don’t you think a woman who’s been married is tainted?"
"What era are we living in now? Are those who think that way time-travelers from ancient times?" Antonio replied, "I don’t care about those, I only care about intriguing souls. In today’s society, how many are still pure maidens? Face the reality, it isn’t easy to meet someone you like."
"But I won’t get divorced, my husband is outstanding."
"Am I not outstanding? There are many who are outstanding, but him not loving you is what truly matters."
"How do you know he doesn’t love me?"
"That, I’m absolutely certain about," Antonio turned his head to look at her, "Do you know the look of someone in love?"
"What does it look like?"
He pointed at his own eyes, "Just like how I am right now, look into my eyes."
Gu Lili looked at him, gazing very seriously into his eyes.
Antonio’s eyes were beautiful, peach-blossom-shaped, blue like a deep ocean, captivating and impossible to resist.
Simply by looking into his eyes, she knew indeed he liked her, without him even needing to say it.
Then she thought of how Long Yubei looked at her.
