From the moment He Meiwei came looking for Long Yubei regardless of her boyfriend Gu Xichen, she had a hunch that He Meiwei wouldn’t just let things be.
When they got home, Long Yubei stood at the entrance of the living room, "Where have you been?"
"I went to the hospital."
She was frank about her whereabouts.
"I know." Gu Lili walked past him and entered, Long Yubei followed behind, "You know?"
"Because I only went into her room after you left." She walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and gulped it down.
"What did you go there for?"
"Just to see her true colors." She put down the tea cup heavily, looking at him seriously, "Long Yubei, she made it clear to me that she won’t let go of you, she wants to compete with me for you, you’re quite in demand."
Long Yubei gave a wry smile, "I’ve always been in demand."
"Hmph." She turned and walked upstairs, Long Yubei followed closely.
"After the surgery, you are not allowed to see her again, and let her handle her own medical expenses, you are not to interfere."
"She doesn’t have much money, and the medical expenses are a large long-term expenditure."
Gu Lili stopped, turned her head to glance at him, "Then I’m sorry, but you’re about to face a choice, either continue to help her, or have me."
"Wife, these two actually aren’t conflicting."
"Conflicting!" She told him off, clearly annoyed, "Very conflicting, don’t sleep with me tonight, go sleep in the guest room!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fire.net
Gu Lili went back to the bedroom and locked him out, Long Yubei had no choice but to say, "If she doesn’t restrain herself, then I won’t help her with the medical expenses anymore."
"..." There was no response from the bedroom.
"Who was it that wrote me a love letter just a few hours ago and now has driven me out..."
Standing at the door for a while, he then activated the fingerprint forced unlock feature.
All the house locks have this feature, just his fingerprint is enough to forcibly unlock.
Gu Lili had just finished showering.
She glanced at him, ignoring him.
Then, in front of him, she tossed off the towel she was wrapped in.
Wearing nothing, Long Yubei tried to approach her, but was pushed away with a "Get lost."
"Lili, let’s talk this out nicely."
"I don’t want to say a single word to you right now."
"..." He sat on the edge of the bed, "I really don’t have feelings for her anymore, I just wanted to help her out, nothing else, so you don’t have to worry about this."
"After the surgery you’re not allowed to see her anymore, nor continue covering her medical expenses, you can’t sleep with me until you manage to do that, Long Yubei, though she broke up with you because she was sick, it wasn’t your fault, you were not wrong, she was only with you for a while, helping her out of difficulty was already more than enough, how is it, do you still want to take lifelong responsibility? There’s absolutely no need, I think she’s really setting her heart on you now, it’s quite a drama, after breaking up for so long, disregarding her own boyfriend, still thinking about reigniting old flames, does that even make sense?"
Long Yubei eventually agreed, compared to these, he still couldn’t tolerate her not letting him sleep.
"If you can’t do this, I’ll definitely make life difficult for you."
"How will you make it difficult?" he inquired.
She didn’t specify the details, "Try and see, you’ll know when it happens."
