"Yeah, I’ll pack up and head out shortly. Are you coming with me?"
"Then you stay home and watch TV."
After Shen Cong Mo’s wife left, he reached out and turned off the remote control.
Sitting there alone, having only seen her briefly.
He didn’t expect that it would almost cause him to lose control.
He took out his phone. Even though he had deleted her number, he couldn’t erase it from his heart.
He dialed a string of numbers.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is disconnected. Please check and dial again..."
The cold, mechanical female voice came through.
Did she change her number?
He made a call to Long Yubei.
"I’m on a business trip in the M country; I unexpectedly encountered Feng Xi in the supermarket."
Long Yubei held his phone between his neck and shoulder, typing on the computer, "The M country is so big, you guys really have fate bumping into each other in a supermarket."
"She at least lost twenty pounds..."
Long Yubei’s hands stopped, "What?"
"She’s lost a lot of weight."
Long Yubei grabbed the phone with his hand, spun his chair around lazily, and asked, "Did you two talk?"
"I didn’t, but Miaomiao chatted with her for a bit."
"No, there was a man with her, her boyfriend."
Long Yubei didn’t ask further, "Boyfriend? She never told us she was dating someone."
"Maybe she’ll bring him to meet you guys in a while."
Shen Cong Mo didn’t ask for Long Fengxi’s number. After the call, he sat there for a long time without moving.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do to make Liang He agree if he refuses?"
Antonio corrected, "Long Tianjiao, Gu Lili is no longer your sister-in-law, so please remember to change your reference."
Long Tianjiao gave him a sideways glance, "I’ll call her what I like, is that not ok? My sister-in-law isn’t complaining, and there you are interfering. Don’t pretend I don’t know about your unrequited interest in my sister-in-law, Antonio, just give up on that dream, she’s not going to be with you."
"Brat." Antonio raised his hand, "Believe it or not, I can slap you all the way to Jawa."
"If you dare do that, my brother would have no problem mashing you into mashed potatoes."
Gu Lili patted the table, "Alright, knock it off you two..."
"Lili, you shouldn’t indulge Tianjiao in always addressing you that way."
"It’s just a name, no big deal. If you like, you can call me that too."
Gu Lili: "..." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
Long Tianjiao smacked him on the forehead, "Antonio, have you lost your mind? My sister-in-law meant you could also call her sister-in-law, and you’ve got the guts to call her ’wife’?"
"Long Tianjiao, I’ll tell the reporters tomorrow that you dared to hit your boss!"
"If you’ve got what it takes, then go tell them." She wasn’t afraid of him. "Sister-in-law, please help me think of something."
"Why the rush?" Gu Lili thought that nothing was absolute in life, plans never keep up with changes, "He might eventually agree to it, just wait patiently for the outcome, let him make up his mind. However, if during his consideration process, you can improve his impression of you, the chances of him agreeing will be even higher."
Long Tianjiao nodded in agreement, "That’s true, but I haven’t seen him for several days now. I’ll look for him this evening. Keep talking; I have to go to class."
Just as she was about to leave, a tall and straight figure entered.
"Long Yubei, what brings you here?"
"I came to see Tianjiao," he replied.
"Brother, I’m heading to class now, did you need something?"
