Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1057: With You Always (202)

"I want to find my father and look through the Book of Life and Death to confirm if I have any relation to this place?" Her gaze circled the room. "For the first time, I could envision the scenes of its former owner’s life here, just by looking at a room filled with furniture. I feel there’s a significant chance this place is related to my past trials. I’m anxious to know if my guess is correct."

"Can I accompany you?"

"Sure."

The two of them left, while the other three stayed and continued exploring.

Firstly, since they were there, they hadn’t finished exploring. Secondly, if the Nolan Courtyard was truly related to Jun Xiangyi, then Jun Xiangyi and Xu Mohan would surely return.

By the time results were confirmed, they would have pretty much explored everything. Even if Jun Xiangyi and Xu Mohan didn’t return, the others would head back.

Almost an hour passed.

During this hour, Gu Lili shared a dream she had with Long Yubei.

Long Yubei simply listened to it as a joke, as he didn’t believe either he or Lili would go to Nila Lake.

"Will the third brother return?"

"I don’t know."

Just as Long Yubei finished speaking, Xu Mohan and Jun Xiangyi appeared before them.

"Speak of the devil, there they are. Confirmed?" Gu Lili asked.

"Confirmed."

"What’s the result?" Shan Langyuan asked.

"Guessed the beginning, but not the end," Jun Xiangyi replied, "That Ah Xiu was indeed a love trial from years ago, and the Sixteenth Prince Nolan Jingchu was Mohan’s love trial."

They froze in shock, and Shan Langyuan’s eyes almost popped out, "What a coincidence?!!!"

"Yes, indeed a coincidence. In fact, my father knew this long ago. Exactly for this reason, during the first marriage proposal, he planned to tie me to Mohan. Then fate introduced Nan Yuesheng, and my father couldn’t proceed. During the second proposal, it was still us. He felt it was destiny, hoping we’d be confirmed as a couple. But Mohan loved Nan Yuesheng so deeply; he ignored me completely..."

"At that time, I wasn’t with Nan Yuesheng. I merely sought an excuse to oppose the marriage. It was just an act. If only that had never happened," Xu Mohan pondered, thinking fate had played games with him, "Despite attempts to escape from you, I couldn’t avoid ending up by your side."

"Shall we revisit Nolan Courtyard?"

"Absolutely, let’s go have another look," Shan Langyuan took the lead.

The other followed closely behind.

Gu Lili searched some information about Nolan Jingchu and found scant information.

He entered monastic life at a young age.

This decision infuriated his mother deeply. Despite her earnest pleas, it didn’t change his decision.

Entering Nolan Courtyard for the second time felt vastly different from the first.

"What’s meant to be yours will always be yours, no one can take it away. What’s not yours, keeping it forcibly is futile..." Jun Xiangyi reflected, "No wonder, during our few years of marriage, though seeing you seldom, each time I did, I grew fonder of you."

Xu Mohan gently spoke, "I’m sorry for taking so long to bring you to my side."

"It’s alright. From now on, I’ll treasure you twice as much."

"I should be the one saying this."

Actually, it wasn’t the Netherworld King’s fault for not informing them about this, because for someone with cultivation, enduring various trials in the mortal world is a routine affair. Even knowing they’d once undergone a love trial together wouldn’t affect or alter their innate feelings.
