Gu Lili responded, "Alright, I’ll let the kitchen know."
She went to instruct the head chef Chang Tai and then came out to have the servant bring up two cups of coffee. Indeed, she hadn’t had enough sleep and was feeling drowsy, in need of coffee to perk up her spirits.
Curled up on the sofa with one arm propping up her head, Gu Lili asked, "You’ve graduated from college now. You must be planning to return to your home country for development, right? How long are you planning to stay here and play?"
"I’ve talked it over with my elders at home. I’ve just graduated and am still young, there’s a lot to learn and practice, so I’m not in a hurry to take over the family business. That’s why I’m planning to spend some time here in S country to make my way and to train."
This surprised Gu Lili, "You’re saying you want to make your way here? Why give up the easy path and choose a more difficult one instead?"
"Because you are here."
"You’ve got no chance, she’s mine." Long Yubei’s voice came from the stairs.
Antonio looked up and met his gaze, smiling enigmatically, "Actually, this serves as motivation for you too. If you’re not good to Lili, someone will quickly take her away."
"I won’t give you that chance."
"Man proposes, God disposes," retorted Antonio, disagreeing with him, "No one can predict what the future holds."
Long Yubei sat next to Gu Lili, "You might as well give up on that idea."
"Ha ha ha, I can’t do that." Antonio was unbothered and felt quite at ease in someone else’s home, "Long Yubei, let’s discuss something."
"Let me stay at your house in the future?" Antonio looked around, "I really like the style of your home’s décor, and anyway, I need to buy a house in A city when I live here."
"Do you think my place is a hotel?" Long Yubei’s expression soured slightly, "Plus, knowing you have designs on Lili, should I let you stay so close? Are you the idiot, or am I?"
"I can assure you, I will absolutely not interfere with your marriage. If you two remain loving till old age, I, Antonio, will salute you. If not, don’t blame me for taking your spot. We singles have to make our moves, am I making sense?"
"No matter if you’re making sense or not, I refuse."
"Penny pincher." Antonio took the coffee from the servant, "So scared your wife will be stolen, huh? No confidence?"
Long Yubei calmly admitted with courage, "There are so many trying to steal my wife, and she’s so excellent, wouldn’t lack of confidence be shameful?"
Antonio couldn’t help but grin, "I really like your house, I’ll pay you rent."
"I’m not short on cash."
"So you’re simply not going to agree?"
The matter ended there, but in fact, Antonio knew full well in his heart that he would never agree.
Gu Lili listened to their conversation with a faint smile, without any intention of chiming in from beginning to end.
After having breakfast together, he thought Long Yubei would go to work, but to his surprise, Long Yubei came out of the side hall and sat down on the sofa.
"Aren’t you going to the office?"
"No, I’m staying home with my wife."
The corner of Antonio’s mouth twitched, "You keep a pretty tight watch, but it doesn’t matter whether you’re home or not, I wouldn’t do anything to her. What’s more, this is your house." Official source ıs Nove1Fire.net
"I don’t like my wife being alone with another man, no matter what may or may not happen." He glanced at Antonio, "Since you’re at my place, you can use the gym, swimming pool, and the like freely, no need to be restrained."
"Long Yubei, do you play Mahjong?"
