The Netherworld King had warned the Three Divine Mothers about Lin Yueer, forbidding her from learning about the mortal world and from pestering his son again; otherwise, he would become infuriated and disregard her status in the future.
Long Yubei thought, Lin Yueer must have sneaked out to see him.
"Your Highness, are you returning?"
"I will return later."
"Alright, then I will head back first." Xiao Bai replied, and promptly vanished inside the office.
When it reached three o’clock in the afternoon, Long Yubei drove back to Qin Garden.
After finishing up work at the company, he had to return to the underworld to deal with the official duties at hand.
Standing with his hands behind his back not far from the entrance to the mansion, his gaze fell upon a woman dressed in green, beautiful and enchanting.
Compared to the Lin Yueer of the mortal world, her true form was even more gorgeous.
Upon seeing Lin Yueer again, there wasn’t the slightest ripple in his heart.
Just as he was observing her, Lin Yueer also saw him.
A joyful expression immediately lifted on her beautiful face, "Long Chan!"
In the blink of an eye, she was hugging him, just as she used to.
"I’ve missed you so much."
Long Yubei did not immediately push her away, "Have you seen Su Changzhi?"
"Not yet, I came to find you first."
He looked down, "Congratulations on your return."
She released him and with a pout, her beautiful eyes curved, "Why aren’t you overwhelmed with ecstasy and excitement to see me back?"
"Who says I’m not? Yueer, if you had to choose between Su Changzhi and me, who would you pick?"
He thought, the most honest answer should come at this moment.
"Here we go again." She said with a smile, "The two of you always do this, making me choose again and again. I’ve said it before; I choose neither. I can’t break the brotherly bond between you two."
Long Yubei nodded, "Come inside, I have something to tell you."
She linked her arm through his, hopping and skipping along with him into the mansion.
"I was demoted to reincarnate for only 26 years, which is nearly a moment for you. Have you been well?"
"Well and not well." He answered, "There are good parts, and there are bad parts."
"Is it because you missed me so much that it’s been bad?"
Long Yubei did not respond, "I heard from Changzhi that you said when you were with me, you felt guilty towards him, and when with him, you felt guilty towards me, is that true?"
"He told you that too?" She admitted, "He always asks me the same question, who I would be with, and that’s the only thing I can say."
"Yueer, have you ever thought about what you would do if one day we both stopped loving you?"
She looked displeased, "I’d die for you to see!"
"Isn’t that a bit greedy of you, wanting both?"
She chuckled, "The main issue is that I truly don’t know how to choose. I have difficulty making choices, and I don’t want to hurt your harmony. But if I absolutely had to choose between you, I think I would choose you." Get full chapters from novel⟡fire.net
"Didn’t you say you have difficulty making choices?"
"If I absolutely must choose, I would definitely pick you." Her tone was ingratiating, "Because I love you."
"Then what exactly do you feel for him?"
"I quite like him, but not as much as you."
Long Yubei paused mid-step, his eyes clear, "He’s been married twice already."
"What?" She was startled, "Su Changzhi has been married twice?"
"The first time was with Ji Ling, but they divorced quickly. The second time was with a human woman."
