Long Yubei’s clear eyes gained a hint of depth, "You can sing the whole song without looking at the lyrics?"
"I’ve been listening to old songs lately, memorizing the lyrics isn’t hard at all."
Long Yubei took his phone back, clipped out the climax part of her singing to use as a ringtone, and he also kept the complete recording.
In the afternoon, the Dragon Mother called Long Yubei, saying she wanted to go to Purple Clouds Mountain in Y City.
Long Yubei agreed, told her to come over directly, and after hanging up the phone, he booked a hotel stay at Purple Clouds Mountain Scenery Area online.
Gu Lili began to get ready, packing clothes, shoes, and various other items for herself and Long Yubei into two suitcases.
She wore light-colored ripped jeans, a pair of white sneakers, and a black three-quarter sleeve batwing shirt on top.
Tang Qingli took the suitcases to the plane first, waiting for the Dragon Mother to arrive, and then the three of them went together.
Once on the plane, Gu Lili found out that the Dragon Mother’s trip to Purple Clouds Mountain in Y City was entirely because two wealthy ladies she frequently played Mahjong with were touring there. They said the scenery was nice, so she also wanted to have a look.
After a flight of an hour and a half, the plane landed at an airport not far from Purple Clouds Mountain.
They took a car from there to the hotel, which was a twenty-minute drive away. The source of this content ɪs novel⟡fire.net
The weather in Y City was in stark contrast to A City; it was still very hot here, the wind was gentle, the sun bright, and the sky clear.
Stepping out of the car, they were right at the hotel entrance.
Dragon Mother took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Ah... The air is so fresh!"
Hotel staff hurried over to take the luggage, Long Yubei handled the check-in, and the three of them went to their hotel rooms, which were two adjacent rooms on the 12th floor.
When the couple changed into summer clothes to go out, the Dragon Mother was no longer in her room.
"Young Master, Madam has gone to meet friends, with a few bodyguards following her."
"Mhm, we’re heading down."
Long Yubei called the Dragon Mother, but she said she was going out to play with friends and told them to figure it out on their own.
Gu Lili was dissatisfied, "What is your mom up to? Didn’t she say she came out to improve relations with me? Is this how she’s easing tensions? If it’s , why drag us out here? Couldn’t she have just brought someone along?"
"It’s better this way; we’ll have our own fun." He whispered in her ear, "Do you really want to be with her? With her gone, aren’t we more at ease?"
Gu Lili thought about it and agreed; they would be freer together as a couple. Leaving the hotel, they went straight to the scenic area.
The place was overcrowded; after enjoying a few attractions, the couple went to have dinner.
They happened to spot the Dragon Mother.
She was sitting with two ladies, dining together.
Gu Lili didn’t want to join the crowd and pulled Long Yubei to dine at another place.
Before finishing dinner, the Dragon Mother called, saying she wanted to go up to Purple Clouds and that the night view from the mountain summit was breathtaking.
Thinking since they were already there, Long Yubei agreed to go together.
When they arrived, the Dragon Mother and her two friends, as well as the bodyguards, had already been waiting for a while.
"How could you two be so slow? We’ve been waiting for you," the Dragon Mother complained when she saw them.
Gu Lili responded indifferently, "We were eating. It’s only been ten minutes since your call; couldn’t Mom wait?"
Beside her, Lady Lin said with a smile, "Your mother couldn’t wait to see the beautiful night view, let’s go up."
