"I have confidence in him, but I don’t have confidence in those dirty tricks." Long Tianjiao pondered and said, "How about this, sister-in-law, I’ll talk to Liang He and maybe I’ll just share an assistant with him."
"If you can convince him, that would be good."
At around five in the afternoon, the three of them drove back to the Long Family Mansion.
Old Madam Long had the kitchen prepare a large table of delicious food and fine wine, waiting for their return.
When Old Madam Long saw Gu Lili and Long Yubei returning together, her mouth fell open in surprise, "Lili, you came back with Beibei, what did you guys do?"
"Grandma, it was my brother who wouldn’t get out of my sister-in-law’s bed," Long Tianjiao’s explanation undoubtedly made the current relationship between Long Yubei and Gu Lili even more confusing.
"What do you mean... your brother wouldn’t get out of your sister-in-law’s bed?"
"When I went there, I saw my brother lying on my sister-in-law’s bed..."
Gu Lili really could not explain it clearly and could not just tell the elderly lady that her precious grandson attempted suicide at her doorstep.
"Grandma, please take care of him, he always harasses me."
Old Madam Long laughed, "Beibei loves you deeply, don’t find him annoying. He is only towards you. Come here, Lili, come sit down."
Gu Lili smiled faintly and sat down with Long Tianjiao; Long Yubei sat across from her.
After Father Long and Dragon Mother sat down, Gu Lili did not participate in their conversation at all. She did not want to be close to her former in-laws and did not want to upset her stomach.
Having not seen the two elderly people for a long time, Gu Lili inevitably let down her guard.
She didn’t intend to drink too much, but ended up drinking perhaps a bit too much.
When leaving, it was Long Yubei who drove her home.
On the way back, she vomited once, but luckily, she knew to open the car window to vomit outside, saving the car from any mess.
When they got home, Gu Lili went to clean up and directly fell asleep, not forgetting to instruct him, "You... sleep on the sofa..."
Long Yubei turned on the air conditioning, locked the door, and actually, he quite liked the idea of living here alone with her.
They had stayed together at Xiliang Mountain before, and he thought it was quite nice.
With a slight movement of his left hand, Long Yubei felt a faint pain in his wrist.
He stroked her forehead gently, softly coaxing, "Sweetie, be good..."
Gu Lili muttered, "Big bully..."
Long Yubei almost wanted to laugh, finding her drunk self to be really cute.
At that moment, Gu Lili opened her eyes.
"Um... Long Yubei, why are you here..."
"Dummy, call me hubby."
Gu Lili looked confused, her thought process lagging, she mistakenly thought they were still married and sweetly called out, "Hubby..."
Long Yubei chuckled, "Good girl."
After one in the morning.
A car stopped below the residence of Feng Xi in M Country; it was Shen Congmo’s car.
He had a house and a car in M Country, conveniently set up for business trips and such. The rıghtful source is novel(ꜰ)ire.net
He called Feng Xi, and after about ten minutes, finally, she appeared at the entrance of the building.
Feng Xi had no idea why he would come here at this hour.
As she got into the car, she asked, "What brought you all the way to M Country to find me?"
"Why did you abort our child?"
Feng Xi was startled, not expecting him to ask this about the former married couple, Feng Xi didn’t want to say much.
"It’s no longer important, why even ask."
"Even if it’s not important, I still want to know."
Feng Xi gave a bitter smile; just thinking about him being in bed with his so-called wife countless times, just like they used to, she felt even breathing was painful.
Now, telling him all the truth, how would that help?
What could it change?
It’s impossible to return to the past.
Her tears had already dried up.
For her, who couldn’t let go yet had to face a brutal reality, she could never hold any hope.
He already has a family.
"There’s no specific reason, I never thought about marrying you or having children with you. I’m used to being independent, I don’t want children to bother me, and although I hesitated about keeping him, I ultimately decided that raising a child is too troublesome, I don’t like it." She smiled at him, "So, your trip was in vain."
"If you had said this initially, I might have believed you, but now why do I feel you are lying?!"
"Initially, I just wanted to give you a different excuse. Since we are now completely apart, there’s no need for excuses, I’m being truthful." Feng Xi thought for a while, then said, "We grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and fell in love early. Breaking up twice shows we truly aren’t meant for each other. Now you’re also married, with your beloved wife, and I’ll also marry a man suitable for me in the future, have my husband. Cong Mo, by eloping, it shows you want to rush forward in life, no longer associating with me. Thus, stay strong, live your life well. As for me, others care for me, you no longer need to."
"Right or wrong doesn’t matter anymore." Feng Xi seemed like awakening from a dream, "The past is like a brand engraved in our hearts. Jin Miaomiao has married you as your wife, you should treat her well and not let her down. As for you and me, just as you decisively decided back then, let’s forget each other for the rest of our lives in the secular world."
