"Okay," Ye Yan smiled faintly, "Let’s sign a contract, and I’ll take care of this matter."
Long Yubei moving into Xiliang Mountain had no impact on Gu Lili.
She barely spoke to him and their encounters were limited.
As her pregnancy passed the seven-month mark and her belly grew larger, she spent more and more time in bed resting.
At night, she often struggled to sleep and felt overall discomfort, quite unwell.
Just after having dinner in the evening, she soon felt unbearably hungry.
She got out of bed to find something to eat downstairs, and just as she opened the door, she happened to run into Long Yubei returning, his hands carrying a large bag of snacks and pastries, which he lifted in front of Gu Lili, "Bought these for you, in case you get hungry at night."
She reached out to take it, "Give it here, you’ve been freeloading off me, finally making some contribution."
Long Yubei chuckled, "I’ll buy them for you every day from now on."
"I’m not a pig, I can’t eat that much."
She turned to enter the room, closed the door with a backhand, and sat on the bed starting to eat.
From the beginning to the end, she devoured the entire bag of food and drinks in one go, without taking a breath.
It seemed like the discomfort in her body had alleviated significantly.
Gu Lili brushed her teeth and lay on the bed thinking that she must have gained a pound from eating so much.
Touching her now round and plump belly, being full made her sleepy, and with half-closed eyes, she quickly slipped into a dream.
For the third time, she dreamt of Long Zen and Li Mao.
Knowing it was a dream, as if stepping into another dimension, her consciousness was crystal clear.
But this time, it wasn’t just the two of them, him and the cat.
There were... quite a few people.
It was like a party, surrounded by many handsome men and beautiful women.
Gu Lili felt like she was watching a historical TV series, moving invisibly among these people, unnoticed by anyone.
Knowing that Li Mao was her past life, she focused only on the cat, following it with her eyes wherever it went.
Li Mao was sprawled on Long Zen’s lap, its paws pinching beef as it ate joyously, completely indifferent to worldly matters, solely devoted to the role of a foodie, as if all the affairs and people around were irrelevant and only eating mattered. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel⟡fire.net
The cat’s white fur was exceptionally lustrous and smooth, its eyes squinted by the chubby cheeks due to overeating.
Gu Lili stretched out her hand, wanting to touch it, but her touch met only air, unable to feel anything real.
She squatted there, just watching it eat.
After a while, Long Zen stopped it from eating any more, whispering, "That’s enough, your belly is round now. Moderation is key, go down and take a walk, run around to digest."
Rouwan obediently hopped off his lap, took a few indifferent steps in front of him, then lay down at his feet and closed its eyes to sleep.
Watching its antics, Long Zen shook his head helplessly, rewarding it with two words, "Lazy cat."
Gu Lili looked at Long Zen. Although his body looked completely different from that of Long Yubei, in her eyes, there was no difference, both were him.
"Seventh Brother," Tenth Prince Shan Langyuan came smilingly and said in a low voice, "Miss Lin has arrived."
Gu Lili saw Long Zen immediately look in the direction Shan Langyuan mentioned, and she couldn’t help but let out a hum.
She saw Lin Yueer, in a white gown, approaching Bu Lian with a light gait, her face half-covered with a faint, translucent veil.
In no time, she reached them, "Has Seventh Prince also come?"
Long Zen smiled, "Welcome, Miss Lin, to join us as well."
