"Your boss orders you to accompany him, and you think you can resist?"
"Yeah, I would commit suicide. They wouldn’t risk losing a well-trained assassin over such a trivial matter."
Gu Xichen expressed doubt, "Why do I feel like you’re not the type to commit suicide over such things? Didn’t you say earlier that if I let you go, you’d be willing to be my woman?"
"That’s for two reasons; first, I don’t want to be treated the way you... that way you were going to treat me, and second, you’re quite handsome, so sleeping with you wouldn’t be so disgusting."
"You don’t have a girlfriend?"
"I used to, but we broke up a long time ago."
"So, do you have someone you like now?"
Gu Xichen closed his eyes, "No comments, I’m going to sleep, stop talking now."
"But it was you who started talking to me..."
Gu Lili hadn’t woken up yet in the morning when her phone bombarded her into consciousness.
The phone kept ringing.
She rolled over and grabbed the phone, checking the caller ID, it was Antonio.
"I called you several times, why only answer now?"
"I was sleeping, what’s up?" Gu Lili yawned, "Did something happen?"
"Andong Fengling’s mother has died."
Gu Lili responded, "How did she die?"
"She was in a car accident last night." Antonio asked cautiously, "It wasn’t you guys, was it?"
"Who did it is not important, what’s important is she paid the price for her actions, this is the outcome."
Antonio felt reassured, "I’ll be going to Country S soon, don’t forget you promised to treat me to a meal."
"It’s a small matter, I’ll treat you when you’re here."
"Looking forward to our next meeting."
Gu Lili hung up, looking at the phone screen showing several missed calls from Gu Xichen and dialed him back.
"A death incident? That’s a surge of calls so early."
"Lili, is it really ok for you to treat me ?"
Gu Lili pretended innocence, "What did I do?"
"You assigned Jingsheng to be by my side."
"I’ve assigned a strong bodyguard to your disaster-prone self, wouldn’t want you to die young, right?" Gu Lili had just finished speaking when Long Yubei hugged her from behind.
"Why do I feel like you’re just inviting troubles to me? WT must think I’m the mastermind."
"That’s part of the intention too, it makes sense for it to be you, they know they are at fault since they were the first to attack and sent someone to kill you." She said nonchalantly, gripping a hand attempting to slip inside her underwear.
"Then you help her sort her household registration."
"Sure, I’ll arrange it."
Relaxing for a moment, Long Yubei cleaned the area he was pinning her down and lay on her back, kissing her ear.
Gu Lili turned her head to glare at him, to no effect.
"My dad sent Gu Min out to find people like you; they aren’t focusing on the company now."
"That’s a great opportunity for you, make sure to seize it and don’t let me down."
Gu Xichen laughed over the phone, "I haven’t properly thanked you for this; let’s have lunch together."
"Sure, you’re treating me to a feast, you pick the place and text me the details."
"Fine, it’s decided then."
Gu Lili hurriedly hung up, flipped over, tossing Long Yubei aside, "Early in the morning, can you behave?"
His gaze directed her to a certain place, "I wanted to behave... but it wouldn’t allow."
"Pleasing me first, then we can play before getting up." Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
