Gu Lili took a thorough bath, dried her jet-black long hair, which reached down to her waist like Ding Xiang’s.
Standing in front of the mirror and looking carefully, Gu Lili noticed that Ding Xiang had cute tiger teeth when she smiled.
Looking at the reflection that wasn’t herself, Gu Lili felt a sourness in her heart, thinking this girl was too foolish.
So young, she had lost her life over a man who wasn’t worth it.
"Are you satisfied with this body?" Long Yubei leaned against the door and asked.
"I am satisfied, but I feel sad for its original owner. It truly is a tragedy."
"With you in control of this body, can I still kiss you?"
Gu Lili hummed, "I want to see if you can really hold back."
"I’m stronger than you think."
Gu Lili packed her simple luggage, ready to leave, and took one last reluctant glance at the children. She said to Long Yubei, "If anything happens to the children, Long Yubei, you know the consequences. I will ensure my own safety; you ensure the safety of my two sons."
"Rest assured, when I’m not around, I’ll have my mother stay close to our sons."
"Also, you must always carry the Jiuquan Sword with you, never be without it."
"Your wish is my command."
Long Yubei revealed his true form, a slight motion of his hand sent a leaf-like green light toward her eyes before Gu Lili could blink, "What’s this?"
"It allows you to see souls."
Gu Lili hadn’t anticipated his thorough consideration and smiled, "I almost forgot about this."
Ye Ying languidly descended the stairs, sat next to Ye Mu with dark circles under her eyes, "The noises of ghosts and wolves have started again upstairs, it’s so annoying."
As though deaf, Ye Mu said, "I can’t manage it."
"Who knows, he’s gone out." Seeing Ye Ying’s tired face, Ye Mu felt compelled to say, "Look at you, just playing games and shopping at home every day. You’re not going to school anymore, you should really make some plans for your future. Don’t always live day by day. Now, the whole family has to walk on eggshells around Ye Yan; if one day he gets unhappy, we might all be driven out of here, that’s what I’m most worried about."
"He won’t drive us out." Ye Ying was confident, "My dad is still here, right? With him here, Ye Yan wouldn’t dare."
"Do you plan to rely on your father forever?" Lately, Ye Mu had been in low spirits.
"I will marry someone. Once I’m married, I won’t depend on the Ye Family anymore."
"With your current reputation in the circles, which reputable and noble family would want you? Even I’m worried for you."
"It’s all Long Tianjiao’s fault."
"Why don’t you reflect on yourself?" Ye Mu was somewhat clear-sighted, "You only see the faults in others, never in yourself. Because of you, how many heartaches your father and I have gone through, you’re blind to all that, always so unmotivated."
"You just said it, my reputation is already bad; how can I be motivated? I also want to find a good man, but where do I find one?"
"Why not lower your standards a bit?" Ye Mu inquired, "Could you accept someone who’s been divorced?"
"Mom, do you see your daughter as a rag? You even suggest divorced men to me? At my beautiful and youthful age, I certainly don’t want to marry an uncle."
"At your ’beautiful and youthful age’?" Ye Mu was speechless, "Apart from your age, what else do you have?" Content orıginally comes from NoveI-Fire.ɴet
