He felt as if he were dreaming, confirming several times before leading people back to City A.
On the way, Long Yubei thought of many things he wanted to say to her.
But when he saw her, all his words turned into silent air.
He couldn’t say anything.
Gu Lili wore a long red dress and had her curled hair draped over her shoulders. With makeup on her dignified face, her gaze when looking at him chilled one to the core.
Her eyes showed only indifference, not a trace more of any other emotion. Updates are released by novel-fire.ɴet
"Lili..." Long Yubei’s eyes reddened as he called out her name.
"You’re back." She looked at his haggard, unshaven face and spoke stiffly, pointing to the seat opposite her, "Sit down, I have something to tell you."
All of the Long Family were there, each with a solemn expression, sitting silently.
At this moment, their family was the most guilty.
Long Yubei wanted to go to her side, but her attitude of rejecting him from miles away stopped him; he sat across from her.
He looked at her and asked, "How did you survive back then?"
"That’s not important. What’s important is this." Gu Lili pushed two divorce agreements towards him, "I will leave without taking anything, no compensation or alimony from you. I just want a divorce."
When Long Yubei saw the words ’divorce agreement,’ his heart felt as if it had been slashed open. "I won’t divorce."
"Then I have no choice but to sue. No matter what, I will not live with you or be your wife again."
Old Madam Long couldn’t help but say, "Lili, this is all Beibei’s mother’s fault. Please don’t blame Beibei, okay? In that situation, saving you first would be unfilial; saving his mother would be heartless. I heard from Beibei, he was desperately trying to grab you. It was too dangerous. Nobody wanted it this way. Don’t divorce, and tell us how you want to punish Yu Bei’s mother. We’ll listen to you, even if it means driving her out of the Long Family."
Gu Lili felt a mix of emotions, glancing at the shocked Dragon Mother; she was incredibly shocked by Old Madam Long’s words.
"Grandma, I know very well how you and Grandpa have treated me, and you’ve really been too kind. But no matter what, this is my marriage with Long Yubei, I don’t want to be with a husband who doesn’t prioritize me when it matters most, I too want to live. This was caused by his mother, she deserves what she got. I saved her out of instinct at that moment. If she had any conscience, she should have let me go first. Since it has already happened, I don’t want to say more. My mind is made up, I will not turn back; this marriage, I must divorce. Even after the divorce, I will still regard you, Grandpa, and Feng Xitian as family, just no longer as a part of the Long Family."
Her eyes moistened, "If you feel guilty towards me, you should agree to let me go, don’t force me. This decision was firmly embedded in my heart the moment I fell, it cannot be removed."
Old Madam Long had tears streaming down her face, unable to bear looking at Gu Lili, "Then you must keep your word, even if you divorce Yu Bei, you should still visit me and your grandpa like before."
"Grandma..." Long Yubei frowned.
Before he could speak further, Old Madam Long looked at him and commanded, "Sign it."
