Su Changzhi revealed his true identity.
Long Yubei spotted him immediately.
When he saw this face, Long Yubei felt no fear in his heart.
His gaze was very calm.
"I am Ninth Prince Su Changzhi, you must leave this place tomorrow."
"I will leave." Long Yubei’s sudden compromise caught Gu Lili by surprise. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novｅlfire.net
"It’s good that you know your place." Su Changzhi clearly told him, "Lili is my woman, I am going to marry her, she will become my wife."
"Even if she becomes your woman, even if she marries you, what then? You give her kindness, do you expect her to repay you with love?"
Gu Lili felt a sharp look shooting towards her, suddenly reminding her of the deep night when Long Yubei slit his wrists.
"Changzhi, let me talk to him."
Su Changzhi’s voice lost its warmth, "You are not allowed to meet him privately in the future."
In that moment, Gu Lili felt as though her life was saved by him, and he had taken away all her freedom along with it.
She had no right to speak.
Long Yubei left; he didn’t say another word, and Gu Lili felt uneasy.
This behavior from Long Yubei was abnormal.
She excused herself to use the restroom and sent him a text message.
After sending it, she calmed down a bit.
The message Long Yubei received as he stared at his phone for a long time was: [Don’t do anything foolish again, I hope you are well.]
Just that sentence, and he felt much better in his heart.
Long Yubei never felt so helpless before.
Facing someone like Su Changzhi, he felt completely powerless.
He also didn’t want to foolishly put himself in a dead end; he suddenly realized that only by living could he have a chance to be with her, as death would mean losing everything.
Therefore, he wouldn’t attempt suicide impulsively after drinking again.
A temporary compromise didn’t truly mean he felt defeated, but that he would find another path.
He would win back her heart.
That night, Su Changzhi did not stay at Xiliang Mountain; after Long Yubei left, he returned to the underworld.
Gu Lili lay in bed, restless and unable to sleep.
Even though she was exhausted, her mind remained alert.
Picking up her phone and then putting it down, and again picking it up.
Eventually, she called Tang Qingli, "Has your master arrived home?"
"Master returned home quite a while ago."
"Is he alright then?"
Tang Qingli responded, "I honestly can’t tell if the master has issues or not."
"Then keep a close eye on him, don’t let him do anything foolish again."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Lili closed her eyes, finally succumbing to her overwhelming fatigue and falling asleep.
"You want to share a manager with me?" Liang He was baffled, "Why? We don’t live together, having one manager is inconvenient."
"This is what I think." Long Tianjiao looked at him seriously, "If it’s a woman, I fear she might fall for you; if it’s a man, I fear he might fall for me. After careful consideration, I think sharing one with you is better, what do you think, Brother Mu?"
Mu Ya didn’t quite know how to respond, "Miss Long, this still depends on what Liangzi thinks..."
"Stop calling me Miss Long, just call me by my name, since you are Liang He’s manager and also older than me, just call me directly by my name, don’t be too formal."
"Choose one from your family or let your brother arrange one for you, it won’t be a problem at all." Liang He did not want to agree.
