"I just wanted to foster some affection with you through this relationship. I realized that indeed I can get along with you very pleasantly this way. In contrast, you are quite reserved in front of my true self, so I wanted to delay revealing the truth to you time and time again. This is just my way of getting close to you, don’t take it the wrong way."
Gu Lili thought to herself, how dare she take it the wrong way with him.
He is the Netherworld King’s ninth son, the Ninth Prince, and she’s just a mere human.
Even with ten times the courage, she wouldn’t dare.
"It’s really hard for me to believe. I can’t believe Su Changzhi and the Ninth Prince are the same person; the difference in temperament is too great."
"But both personalities are me." He turned around, and Gu Lili lay down beside him on the bed. She felt as if she was strapped with explosives, not daring to move at all, utterly at a loss.
Seeing her so tense, he laughed, "Let him leave tomorrow, understand?"
How could Gu Lili dare not to obey? She nodded, "Okay."
"You belong to me. Whoever dares to compete with me for you, no matter who he is, I won’t let him off easily."
Gu Lili looked up at him, her heart in turmoil, "That Antonio and Gu Xichen..."
"I don’t mind them pursuing you."
"Because to me, they pose no threat."
Gu Lili felt like spitting out a mouthful of old blood; she wondered if Gu Xichen and Antonio would be infuriated if they heard this. Chapters fırst released on novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Gu Lili thought about the days when she used to discuss the Ninth Prince with Su Changzhi, and she was all upset.
"Changzhi, what should I do."
"I suddenly forgot the memories of the times I spent with you, and I can’t remember what I’ve said to you either."
He saw right through her, "Don’t you think that excuse is too lame?"
"I..." She hemmed and hawed, "I want to die."
"Death is fine, your soul will stay with me forever, and you won’t have to be reincarnated again."
Gu Lili now felt that even death wasn’t so frightening.
There’s no difference between being alive or dead!
"In the future, how are you going to treat me? Just let me know first, so I can be mentally prepared."
"I want to marry you."
"Marry... when I’m old and you are still young..."
"What does it matter? You are still you."
Gu Lili wanted to retort: Yeah, right.
She would be aged and unattractive, and he would still be a handsome young man, eternally youthful and attractive. Thinking about him made her feel insecure; by then, she might even despise herself.
But this was something she could only think in her heart and didn’t dare to say out loud.
"What are you thinking in your mind?"
Gu Lili looked up. Crap, can he read minds?
Seeing her reaction, Su Changzhi laughed, "I told you, don’t be so reserved in front of me. Just speak your mind like we usually do."
"How old are you really? It can’t be 725 years old, right?"
Now that she knew his identity, it was clear as day that it wasn’t true.
"Seventy-two thousand five hundred years old."
Gu Lili was astounded, "I reckon even my ancestors’ ages combined don’t come close to you. If your appearance hadn’t remained the same, I can’t even dare to imagine what you would look like aged."
He turned to his side and hugged her tightly, a domineering declaration, "No matter what, you are my lover, and I will never let you go. Starting from today, we are officially together. I will propose to my father to take you as my wife."
