"What consequences they bear is their own fault; who made Gu Lili marry Su Changzhi while carrying your child? She deserves it."
Long Yubei pursed his lips and fell silent, suddenly flooded with memories of Gu Lili. Those past moments, torn and fragmented, surged into his heart, those intimate scenes still vivid as ever.
Seeing her in the hospital, meeting her at the full moon banquet, his eyes involuntarily followed her wherever she appeared.
As if wherever she was, his gaze would invariably trail there.
He kept trying to convince himself, to persuade himself that it was Lin Yueer he loved most. But why, whenever he thought of Gu Lili, did his heart ache to the point of suffocation?
Having made his choice, Long Yubei knew that Gu Lili would never forgive him in this lifetime.
From the incident at Purple Clouds Mountain, he had already experienced her complete withdrawal of love and affection towards him.
This time, there was no turning back for him and her.
He had every reason to believe that he had been forever erased from Gu Lili’s heart.
"Beibei..." Lin Yueer saw that he was indeed very upset, which flustered her, "Don’t be silent , won’t it be enough if I never do it again?"
"In the future?" He said indifferently, "You probably won’t have another chance to meet my father ."
Lin Yueer thought, it was precisely because she might not have another chance that she had to speak up.
Su Changzhi and Gu Lili were leisurely spending time together when they were suddenly summoned to the underworld.
A brat whispered softly, "The Netherworld King has learned from Seventh Prince and Miss Lin that the child in Ninth Princess Consort’s womb is not yours."
Gu Lili and Su Changzhi exchanged glances.
"Understood, you go back first, we will be there shortly."
"It seems we can’t have fun anymore. Didn’t expect those two actually went to the underworld to complain," Su Changzhi sneered, "It seems they don’t want us to live in peace."
"What will your father do?"
"Don’t worry, I’ll handle everything." Su Changzhi took her hand, "Don’t say anything, I’ll do the talking."
Gu Lili had a bad feeling, "Changzhi..."
"Let’s go, father must be anxious by now."

Su Changzhi didn’t know that on the way there, Gu Lili had already thought through all strategies to handle the situation. No matter what, it was an agreement reached between her and Su Changzhi; it wasn’t something one person could bear the responsibility for alone.
She was also involved.
Thus, she wouldn’t evade.
When they met the Netherworld King, Gu Lili confirmed her suspicion; deceiving the Netherworld King had infuriated him.
"You two, kneel down!"
Su Changzhi helped Gu Lili kneel down, and then kneeled down next to her, "Father, this was my idea, Lili cooperated with me out of necessity. If you must punish, punish only your son."
"No, this matter was agreed upon together by both of us..."
Su Changzhi interrupted her, "Lili..."
"Changzhi, it’s not just your responsibility, I must speak," she looked up at the Netherworld King, "For not allowing me into the underworld, I had no choice but to use this method to get close to the Seventh Prince, to make him return to Long Yubei’s body. Contrary to expectations, he returned, but he is no longer the same Long Yubei. Hence, Changzhi and I planned to live our lives together, father, for hiding this from you, it’s my fault. If father chooses to punish, Lili has no complaints."
