"Miss Long, here is some hangover soup. Madam asked me to bring it over, worried that the young master might feel uncomfortable after drinking too much."
"Okay." She took it, placed the bowl on the table, and softly called out to him, "Liang He... wake up."
He didn’t move at all.
Long Tianjiao tested the temperature with her hand, found it was lukewarm, then picked up the soup spoon and scooped a spoonful. With her other hand, she pinched his mouth open and brought the spoon to his lips.
As if by instinct, he drank it.
Long Tianjiao found it somewhat amusing and couldn’t help but giggle as she spoon-fed him the entire bowl of soup.
When the last spoonful was finished, Long Tianjiao placed the spoon in the bowl, suddenly feeling a bit playful.
She locked the door from inside, then lay down beside him. Being so close to him made her heart flutter.
She pulled out one of her own hairs and tickled his nose with it.
Itchy, Liang He turned over, and in that movement, he snuggled against her, placing his hand on her waist.
Long Tianjiao’s body stiffened, and with her eyes closed, she breathed in his scent. Orıginal content can be found at novęlfire.net
At this moment, she felt blissful.
"Tian Jiao was laughing all through the ceremony today, looking like the silly daughter of a wealthy landlord."
"Liang He was expressionless the whole time, as if it had nothing to do with him."
After hearing his wife’s words, Long Yubei added that comment.
The couple exchanged a glance, kissed, and then Gu Lili turned over in bed, stretching all her limbs like a frog, "I especially noticed Shi Xiaotian. She seemed heartbroken. It’s really hard to describe how I feel."
Long Yubei lunged toward her, scooped her up into his embrace, "I need to go to city B tomorrow, and will be very busy for several days. You should stop flying around with me. It might be too tiring, just stay home and get some rest."
"If you wish to be one, then you are."
"Looking for a beating!"
The next morning, Gu Lili wasn’t woken by an alarm, but woke up naturally.
Before even opening her eyes, she felt around the blanket next to her and realized it was empty. That’s when she knew Long Yubei had already left.
Just as she sat up in bed, she became uninterested in the group of female brats around her. She waved them off, "Scram, scram, scram."
"Gu Lili, you’re quite bold, aren’t you?" A middle-aged woman smirked coldly. "We’re not ordinary brats that you can just shoo away."
"Auntie, while I’m still talking nicely, better scoot off right away."
"Ladies, it’s time to show our capabilities! Charge!"
"Is this a battlefield? Charging..."
Gu Lili flicked out a bunch of talisman paper from under her pillow, and the ferociously approaching brats instantly froze.
She calmly stood up, "Watch how I send each of you off to respond at the underworld."
The group of women, previously brimming with arrogance, instantly deflated, pleading in unison, "Miss Gu, please spare us this once."
Gu Lili got up, sat at the dressing table to put on makeup, and asked, "Coming to my bedside so early in the morning, what do you want? Who sent you?"
"Nobody... nobody..."
"You think I’m blind?" Gu Lili didn’t even look at them, "If you value your lives, tell the truth. If not, don’t bother; after I finish my makeup, I’ll perform a ritual for you. I have never screwed up a ritual before. It will be precise and quick to send you right to the Ghost Messenger."
"It was Gu Minlai, the second young master of the Gu Family, who asked the master to summon us..."
