Lin Yue’er’s actions only proved one thing further, Su Changzhi was just a spare tire in her heart.
She could settle for second best.
On the other hand, she was even more baffled by what Long Yubei was thinking. He clearly gave up on her to be with the one he truly loved, but after so little time, had he grown tired of it?
Gu Lili just lay there, and after a while, she began to feel sleepy.
She fell asleep alone.
And slept throughout the night, and when she woke up in the morning, he was sound asleep by her side.
Gu Lili didn’t move, just watched him.
After a while, he woke up, his long eyelashes fluttered a few times as he opened his eyes.
Su Changzhi reached out to embrace her swollen belly and closed his eyes again, "This is really nice."
"When did you come back?"
"Eleven o’clock? Around that time, after her family arrived, I came back."
Gu Lili’s hand rested on his hair, "Did it hurt?"
"You think I’m like Long Chan with regrets? I’ve truly given up on her," he said softly, "now, apart from my mom, there is no other woman who can compare to you in my heart."
"You couldn’t be... falling in love with me, could you?"
"What’s so impossible about that?" he looked up, "You are my wife, is it strange for me to fall in love with you?"
"Lin Yue’er must want to cry to death, losing both the Madam and the troops."
"That’s her business, it has nothing to do with me." His tone was gentle, "Now, my heart only has you in it."
Gu Lili felt incredibly warmed, "Mother-in-law really is great, never interfering with us even a bit."
"When my mother married my father, she was determined and didn’t listen to her parents, so she treats me the same way. As long as it’s my own choice, she supports it all."
"I’ve never asked you, what was Lin Yue’er’s identity in her previous life?"
"She was the daughter of the Three Divine Mothers. If she dies, she will end her cycle of reincarnation in the mortal world and return to her spiritual body, just like my Seventh Brother, regaining all her original memories."
"You all have spiritual bodies. Dying in the mortal world makes no big difference as if you’ve never died, but I’m different. If I died, what awaits me is a new cycle of reincarnation."
"Not so." He explained, "Since you are my Princess, you will not be reincarnated again. Even in death, you will live with me in the underworld."
Is this what eternal life is?
"Knock knock knock!" Gu Xia’s voice came from outside the door, "Sis, there are some people outside claiming to be from the Lin Family in City B, saying they want to see you."
"Is that so? Let them come in and wait in the living room."
When Gu Lili and Su Changzhi went downstairs, they saw Mrs. Lin, her second son, and two men in military uniforms sitting on the sofa.
"What is this about?"
"What exactly did you do to our Yue’er last night? She was driven to attempt suicide," Mrs. Lin accused.
"What did we do to her?" Gu Lili laughed, "Words are not proof. Let the evidence speak for itself." New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ⓝovelFire.net
Gu Lili played the conversation she had recorded on her phone last night for them to hear. Su Changzhi hadn’t expected that she recorded it.
After listening to the recording, her smile mingling with disdain, she said, "Have you all heard it now, Mrs. Lin? Your daughter is so shameless to come to my home insisting on being with my husband, her cheek is truly unparalleled. And you didn’t even ask your daughter the reason, just came here to my place to accuse?"
Mrs. Lin’s face turned awkward, "I won’t ask about the others, I only want to ask Mr. Su one question, what exactly is the relationship between you and my daughter?"
