Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 737: Deeply Rooted Love (182)
She is extremely beautiful, her allure accompanied by a hint of heroism, far from a frail Goddess.
On the way to see the Heavenly King, every encounter with someone from the Heavenly Clan set her heart aflutter with trepidation for her return.
Jun Li turned a blind eye, walking briskly with a gust, her skirt hem slightly lifted to reveal her white embroidered shoes.
Just as she approached the entrance of Yunxiao Palace, she heard the thunderous rage of the Heavenly King from within.
The siblings waited outside the door for a while, learning of the cause, before they entered during a moment of calm.
Upon seeing her, everyone inside could not conceal their shock.
The originally quiet Yunxiao Palace became even more hushed.
Jun Li looked towards the man seated in the place of highest honor, curtsying deeply, "I have just awakened and come to pay respect to my eldest brother." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
The Heavenly King gazed at her in stunned silence for a good ten seconds before responding, "It is good that you returned. What happened back then?"
"I cannot remember. Just now, Yu mentioned that I had a great battle with Hong Ying from the Demon World. As to why I only awoke today, I truly do not know the reason; the events of the time are completely forgotten."
The Heavenly King, seeing her say this, gave a slight smile, "If you’ve forgotten, then let it be forgotten."
"Auntie, let me introduce to you my husband, Xu Mohan, the Third Prince of the Netherworld," Jun Xiangyi hastily interjected.
Jun Li nodded in recognition, "I have long heard of Third Prince’s extraordinary charm. Meeting today indeed reveals his outstanding bearing. To think that Xiangyi has married and I wake up to find that - do you have children yet?"
Jun Xiangyi, mentioning this, became angry, "I came here today to seek justice from father; I’ve been married to him for several years, and he has always neglected me, never sharing a room with me, only spoiling his concubine. I can’t take it anymore!"
Xu Mohan then spoke out, "I do not wish to deliberately make things difficult for Xiangyi, but the truth is that I do not like her. Nor do I want to delay her life. Although she bears the name of my wife, there is no reality to it. I hope the Heavenly King finds a man who truly cherishes Xiangyi for her. My heart already belongs to someone else, and I really am powerless. That marriage was never up to me to decide. Now I boldly hope the Heavenly King will not, for the sake of the face between the Heavenly World and the Netherworld, ignore Xiangyi’s own happiness."
After the Heavenly King lashed out in anger, his complexion was still unpleasing, "Xiangyi, he requests a divorce, what about you?"
"Divorce just because he says so? Since he married me, he has to take responsibility for me!" Jun Xiangyi grew more furious as she thought about it, "I disagree. I want him to father a child with me!"
"I would rather die than agree!" Xu Mohan laid down his stance firmly, "I absolutely refuse!"
"I too absolutely refuse to divorce. I will fight this out with you no matter what. Father, I refuse to divorce!"
"Enough!" The Heavenly King, looking at the situation, couldn’t help but say, "Mohan, you spoil your concubine and disdain your wife. Jun Li has been married to you for years; have you ever shown her any kindness? Is this how my daughter is to be treated? Xiangyi has been married to you for years; you ignore her utterly. Although her reputation may be sullied, those are only rumors, and not actually reflective of the kind of person she is. If she were such, I would have locked her up long ago. Xiangyi has never once opposed your taking a concubine, but how did you treat her? Even just a mere bit of affection, what harm would it have been?"
"But I am unwilling to continue like this with her."
"When you two come to a mutual agreement, come find me. If Ruo Xiangyi herself agrees to the divorce, then I will consent to your separation." As he finished speaking, the Heavenly King’s gaze returned to Jun Li, "Li, have you gone to see mother yet?"
