"Yes." Old Madam Long said, "This Huiling Sword and the Jiuquan Sword in Beibei’s hand are a pair; the two swords used together have an unparalleled deterring power. They have been passed down through generations in our Long Family and are priceless. Today, I am giving this sword to Lili."
"Grandma, such a precious item shouldn’t be given to me."
"Lili, you don’t need to say anything else. It is very appropriate to give this sword to you. It was supposed to be given to the daughter-in-law of the Long Family. Although you and Yu Bei have not remarried, you are carrying the bloodline of our Long Family, so it is most proper to give it to you. Take it." Follow current novᴇls on novèlfire.net
Long Yubei took it out and placed it in her hand, "Grandma genuinely wants you to have this."
Gu Lili looked at the sword and fell in love with it at first sight, "Thank you, Grandma."
"It’s me who should thank you. I’ve always felt our family has too few children, but now suddenly there are two more. I’m overjoyed. Whether boys or girls, they are treasures of our family."
Although Dragon Mother and Father Long did not like Gu Lili, they were very happy to realize they were going to be grandparents.
Father Long also softened his tone, "Lili, it was wrong of your uncle and me before; we said and did things that upset you. Don’t hold it against us. Come back to visit more often in the future, the family still recognizes you as the only daughter-in-law."
Gu Lili responded indifferently, "I have no plans to remarry, but the children will carry the Long family name after they are born. I won’t stop them from meeting you."
"I’m back!" Long Tianjiao practically sprinted from the car into the living room, and upon seeing Gu Lili, she almost jumped with excitement, "Sister-in-law, are you really carrying twins?"
"Would they be fake?" Dragon Mother responded, "You’re already such a big girl, why are you still so impulsive?"
"Oh my god, that’s so incredible." Long Tianjiao was as excited as if she were the one pregnant, "My brother and sister are twins; could it be twins again this time?"
"That’s uncertain, but no matter what, they are our children." Old Madam Long was very pleased, "Prepare a rich meal at noon, let’s enjoy a good lunch together."
"Tianjiao, did you stay with Liang He last night?" Long Yubei asked, and several pairs of eyes fell on Long Tianjiao.
Her face turned red, "I slept in the secondary bedroom, he didn’t touch me, but..."
"But what?" Dragon Mother asked.
"I won’t tell you." Long Tianjiao sat beside Gu Lili, her gaze falling on the sword in her hand, "Is this the legendary Huiling Sword?"
"Yes." Old Madam Long replied, "It’s for your sister-in-law."
"This is my first time seeing it too. I’ve only heard its name but never seen it, for so many years it still looks as good as new." Long Tianjiao touched it, "Feels really good in hand, by the way, have you called my sister to tell her?"
"I’ll call my sister and let her know, it’s the New Year and she isn’t coming back." Long Tianjiao said while dialing, "Missing the chance to meet a future brother-in-law."
The call connected quickly, and Long Tianjiao activated the video; the other side picked up soon.
"Sister, Happy New Year."
"Today we have a big joyous event at home, can you guess what it is?"
Long Fengxi responded, "Did my brother and sister-in-law remarry?"
"What else could be such a joyous event at home?" Long Fengxi truly couldn’t guess, "Stop beating around the bush, just tell me."
