Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1109: With You Always (254)

"I appreciate your attitude," Gu Lili agreed, "Don’t get married just for the sake of it, it’s a responsibility to both parties."

"I haven’t seen Mr. Long in the financial news lately, is he very busy these days?"

Gu Lili replied with a calm smile, "The company is being managed by his sister, he’s been slacking off lately, staying home and not going anywhere, we’re used to staying in."

"Did you guys handle the Gong Family matter?"

"As far as I know, the Gong Family not only approached your organization to kill Xichen but also contacted other organizations. Unfortunately, no one dared to take the job. I just got back and am planning to communicate with the Gong Family about this. I believe it can be resolved perfectly. Honestly, I don’t take a small family like the Gong Family seriously. Though I, Gu Lili, don’t have much, I’m quite skilled at killing. If anyone tries to thrust a knife near me, I’ll make them pay the price along with their entire family. If you disrespect me, oh well, I won’t apologize. There aren’t many people I care about. Anyone dares to touch them, I’ll make them suffer dearly."

"You truly have deep feelings for Gu Xichen; you didn’t mind even after he broke off the engagement."

"It’s all in the past, looking back at the broken engagement, I don’t feel anything anymore, I’ve long moved on. To me, he’s family. My master only had this one son, and as one wishes to be filial, their parents might not be around. Repaying my master’s nurturing grace to him is the right thing. I don’t need to guess; my master’s greatest wish must be for him to live a safe and happy life."

"You’re really a woman of feelings and principles," Chu Lianzhao praised, "But I heard he remarried, yet his wife’s appearance has never been revealed, why?"

Gu Lili glanced at Jingsheng, noticing she was listening attentively. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"It’s just that his wife doesn’t wish to make appearances, that’s all."

"I see."

...

Gu Lili conversed with him for over an hour before leaving, discussing mostly trivial matters, generally making small talk. To Gu Lili, having one more friend is better than one more enemy. Since the other party wished to be friends, she naturally wouldn’t turn down the gesture.

Went back to the old house to have dinner together in the evening.

After some pleasantries, Gu Lili remembered the drama Long Tianjiao was filming, "Has it wrapped up yet?"

"It wrapped up last week."

"What about Liang He?"

"He wrapped up a week earlier than me," Long Tianjiao smiled with her eyes, "Next, we plan to take a good rest."

"Take a break, you’ve worked hard for months. Go have fun with Liang He, do what you need to. By the way, are you planning to have a second child?"

"Liang He doesn’t want to," Long Tianjiao pouted, unable to hide her happiness, "He said he doesn’t want me to suffer through ten months of pregnancy and labor again. He’s very firm, I can’t change his mind."

"Liang He truly spoils you."

Long Fengxi walked over, "Spoils her, he practically dotes on her like she’s on cloud nine. Our Tianjiao really lives like she’s in a romcom."

"You say that, but isn’t Brother Congmo completely obedient to you?"

Long Fengxi glanced at Shen Congmo not far away talking with Liang He, "He’s obedient indeed, but that doesn’t mean he’s spared from my occasional ’fixes’ every few days."

Seeing Gu Lili’s puzzled expression, Long Tianjiao explained, "Sister-in-law, you don’t know how prone Brother Congmo is to romantic entanglements. My sister has now become a flower-cutting expert, spotting one, she cuts off one without even catching her breath."
