By the time Gu Lili’s gunshot wound had healed, it was already August.
She was thirty-three weeks pregnant.
More than eight months.
During this period, with Long Yubei by her side, Gu Lili’s life had been smooth, and she was peacefully waiting for the arrival of the twins.
There were no more attacks.
Lin Yueer had not shown up again, either.
Of course, Su Changzhi had also not appeared again.
Initially, Long Yubei would leave at eight in the morning and return punctually at four in the afternoon.
But as the due date drew nearer, to prevent any unforeseen preterm labor, he simply worked from home, spending twenty-four hours a day with Gu Lili.
Not only that, but he also forcibly talked and chatted with the babies in her belly every day, often about things that Gu Lili found useless.
For example, he repeated the phrase "I am your father" every day as if it was nonsense.
As if without saying it, the children in her belly wouldn’t be his own.
Every day, Gu Lili felt indescribably tortured.
Because her belly was too big, she felt that if it grew any more, her stomach would burst.
But it was still not full term, and to give birth now would be premature.
She could only endure and grit her teeth every day.
On the evening of the fifth of August, after dinner and washing up, Gu Lili went to bed and fell asleep.
From the moment she fell asleep, she was continuously dreaming.
This was the fourth time she dreamt of the Rabbit Meatballs and Long Chan.
In the dream, she saw Long Chan convinced he had developed a cat obsession, deliberately ignoring and distancing himself from rouwan, even entrusting Xiao Bai to take care of it and confining it in a cage.
Deprived of its freedom, Rabbit Meatballs became increasingly anxious and furious in the cage, seemingly on the verge of a breakdown.
A few days later, it had completely surrendered to reality.
It began a hunger strike in protest.
Initially, Long Chan thought it was just being temperamental and would be fine after going hungry for a couple of days.
Little did he expect, Rabbit Meatballs was stubborn and unyielding, refusing to eat or drink, and due to the hot weather, along with hunger and dehydration, it lay there taking shallow breaths. Orıginal content can be found at novel~fire~net
Finally, with a softened heart, Long Chan had Xiao Bai release Rabbit Meatballs.
Unexpectedly, the moment Xiao Bai opened the cage, Rabbit Meatballs mustered all its weak strength and dashed out recklessly, running out of the Seventh Prince’s residence.
Xiao Bai went to chase, but Long Chan speculated that Rabbit Meatballs must have left, so he didn’t allow Xiao Bai to pursue it.
In reality, due to extreme hunger and thirst, Rabbit Meatballs had run to a small creek to drink water to quench its thirst and satisfy its hunger.
As it was drinking, a shadow reflected on the river surface caught its eye.
Rabbit Meatballs looked up and saw no one else but Lin Yueer.
Seeing this scene, Gu Lili also became tense, and watched as Lin Yueer sneered, "A mere wild beast trying to compete for favor? Your Master has already grown tired of you, he won’t care about you anymore. As for you, just obediently go to the Judge and report for a bowl of Mengpo Soup to find a better next life, and don’t thank me too much."
Rabbit Meatballs wanted to run, but Lin Yueer raised her hand, and a white light trapped Rabbit Meatballs. She approached, pressed down on Rabbit Meatballs’ head with one hand, and with a strong grip, submerged it in the creek water.
