"You... stay away from me..."
Long Yubei completely ignored her request, his face getting closer and closer, "Why?"
"You know exactly why."
"I don’t. Why should I stay away when I love you so much?" He lowered his head and captured her lips abruptly, causing Gu Lili’s head to nearly explode.
She pushed against him, but she was too weak to be a match for him.
Long Yubei caressed her hair, his kiss gradually reaching her ear, enough to break her defenses.
Gu Lili thought, perhaps women, like men, have physical needs?
Otherwise, why would she not want to engage with him yet fail to withstand his advances?
She didn’t know why she was so helpless against him.
His voice was calling her name, ever so tenderly.
She was somewhat lucid.
"Long Yubei, don’t do this."
Her words were as if unspoken.
His voice husky, he softly told her, "You are mine, Lili, you can only be mine. I may not have the power to compete with the Ninth Prince, but I love you just as much, if not more."
Gu Lili certainly knew this, "I know."
"Uh-huh." Gu Lili didn’t want to explain, but still said, "Let go of me first, I have something to tell you."
"Do you want to run away?"
"Where would I run to?" She chuckled, did he not see the situation clearly?
He let her go and pulled her up.
Gu Lili straightened her clothes and said, "The Ninth Prince only saw me as a substitute for another woman; he doesn’t love me."
"He was deeply in love with a woman named Lin Yueer. When she was reincarnated, he went looking for her reincarnation thinking it was me. That’s why he saved me and wanted to marry me. I went to the underworld with him, and the Netherworld King told him I wasn’t Lin Yueer, so he decided not to marry me and declared he’d have nothing to do with me from then on."
At this, Long Yubei was ecstatic, pulling her into his arms, "That’s wonderful!"
Gu Lili pushed him away, "Don’t think just because I’m not with him, I’ll be with you."
Though she said this, Long Yubei’s joy remained untouched, "Whether you are with me or not, I still love you, deeply love you, Lili, you are my greatest love."
"That’s so cheesy..." Gu Lili got up, "I’m going to find Gu Xichen and the others."
He grabbed her hand and pulled her entire body onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her from behind.
Gu Lili’s gaze suddenly fell on his wrist.
He was wearing a wrist guard, obviously to cover a wound.
"You unwrapped the bandage when your wound hasn’t healed?"
"What do you mean it’s okay?" Gu Lili turned around to face him seriously, grabbed his wrist, lifted the wrist guard to inspect the wound, and the sight made her want to throttle him.
"Go back immediately to have the doctor dress your wound again." Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⚑fire.net
"You dress it for me." He seemed so childish at that moment.
"I’m not a doctor, let the doctor take care of it."
"If you don’t dress it, I won’t let it be dressed at all."
She really wanted to crack open his head to see if it was filled with paste.
