"Do we really have to renovate Xiliang Mountain?"
"Then reserve a bedroom for me. I’ll stay there when I have some time."
Gu Lili readily agreed, "Okay."
It wasn’t just hers; he had the right to it.
"Does he... treat you well?"
With a profound look, Gu Xichen said, "He doesn’t love you, I don’t know how long he can treat you well."
"Then I’ll just make him fall in love with me," Gu Lili responded confidently, "If it’s not love at first sight, then let affection grow over time. If it doesn’t work out, that means I’m not charming enough, and it means we’re really not suited for each other long term, that we’re meant to be but not fated to be together."
"You grew up in the mountains and haven’t seen much of the world, you’re still naïve at heart."
She disagreed, "I simply have my own views on love and marriage. No one dictates that everyone must think the same. I don’t dwell on gains and losses because I only have myself, nothing else. I can afford to take risks. If things don’t work out, I’ll just say goodbye to him. He can find someone better, and I’ll find someone who’s right for me. Being happy and comfortable together is what’s most important; why worry about the distant future?"
"I heard Long Yubei found a donor match for the surgery for Meiwei."
"The surgery was very successful," replied Gu Lili, "But that’s as far as our help goes. We won’t be responsible for her medical expenses from now on. It’s not our obligation."
"She still loves Long Yubei," Gu Xichen said, feeling the irony of the fact, "I suspect she won’t just let it go."
Gu Lili raised an eyebrow and made a slitting throat gesture, "If she doesn’t let it go, does she think I’m a pushover? If she keeps causing trouble, I’ll smack her all the way to Jawa."
Hearing her words, Gu Xichen’s frown eased, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes. When had he failed to notice this adorable side of hers before? Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs NovelHub(.)net
Liang He really did set Shen Congmo up with a girl. Shen Congmo met her out of courtesy. The girl had very fair skin and indeed looked very innocent.
But Shen Congmo wasn’t interested. After meeting her once, he bluntly told her he wasn’t interested and not to contact him again.
Returning to the neighborhood from the café, Long Fengxi glanced at him while sitting on the sofa, "Back from your date?"
"I told her directly not to contact me again."
"Liang He’s call is on its way."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Congmo’s phone indeed rang.
He answered with speakerphone and placed it on the coffee table. Liang He roared from the other end, "Shen Congmo, what is wrong with your taste? That innocent girl, are you blind?"
"But I just don’t like her, what can I do? I can’t force myself. Keep her for yourself then."
"The only type that catches your eye is someone like Long Fengxi. I bet you’ll only give up completely once she’s married. Stop pretending, saying you’re not interested in her blah blah blah. Next time you go on , I’ll knock you out with a mallet."
"I’m busy now, hanging up."
Shen Congmo ended the call, tilted his head to look at the beauty next to him, "I’m damned to be trapped by you in this lifetime. You have to take responsibility for me till we’re old."
"Depends on your performance."
He gave a mischievous laugh and pounced towards her, pressing her down on the sofa.
Long Fengxi let out a shriek, "You’re crushing me!"
"Alright, I’ll be gentler, I’ll be gentler."
After a heated moment, Long Fengxi leaned into his embrace, "It feels like a dream. I’ve had so many dreams about you since we broke up."
