Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 753: Deeply Rooted Love (198)

"I didn’t tell her myself."

"Yes, I’m lying," she openly admitted, "Do you want to know how I found out? If I tell you, you might find it unbelievable."

"I’m all ears."

"Before answering your question, could you first tell me if Hong Ying is really the mother of your child? If you answer me truthfully, I will also answer your question truthfully, and you won’t be at a disadvantage with the answer I’m about to reveal, I guarantee it."

Normally, Long Yubei would not have said anything, but now, there was a nagging curiosity in his heart, eager to know her answer.

So far, in his heart, he was convinced that Hong Ying was Gu Lili’s true self, solely because after Gu Lili returned to her original self, only Hong Ying, who had over 20,000 years of cultivation, had awakened and no one else.

Who else could it be?

However, he would not reveal the truth, because he wanted to protect someone he cared about.

One day, when the truth comes out, he would then apologize to her. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"No," he replied, "She is not the mother of my child."

Jun Li showed a look of joy, "Really?"

"Yes, so it’s your turn to answer now."

Jun Li’s lips twitched, perhaps because she had spent many days interacting with him in the body of a cat, and understood his character well enough to believe him.

"If I tell you, please promise me that only you will know, and not tell anyone else, unless one day I’m willing to disclose it myself. Just assure me this, and I will tell you."

"I promise."

"The reason I knew that cat had no cultivation is because I was that cat by your side back then, rouwan, Seventh Prince, long time no see."

Long Yubei looked at her, his eyes quickly reddening, a lump formed in his throat, and he struggled to utter two words, "It’s you..."

"Yes, it’s me, surprising, right?" Jun Li gave him a smile, "About the incident where I was drowned by Lin Yueer back then, I don’t blame you, it’s all in the past."

Long Yubei averted his gaze, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. No wonder he had tested Hong Ying several times and couldn’t get any memory about the cat; he thought she had forgotten everything like those belonging to the mortal world.

So, it turns out Gu Lili’s true self is not her, but rather this person right in front of him.

"I’m really happy to know it’s you."

"Just keep this matter to yourself, don’t tell others."

"Don’t worry, I won’t say anything," his lips curved into a smile, "How could I possibly tell others?"

Jun Li’s tone lightened significantly, "Yu told me that you’ve only been in contact with Hong Ying in recent years, if she isn’t your child’s mother, who is?"

"One day, you will know."

"Do you love her?"

"Do you want to know?"

"If you answer that you don’t love her anymore, then I want to know, but if you answer that you love her, then I don’t want to know." After saying that, Jun Li looked away.

She didn’t get an answer from Long Yubei to that question, not even when she walked into the living room.

"Why are you not speaking?"

"Because I don’t know how to answer you, Goddess, please come with me upstairs." His tone unconsciously softened a bit.

Jun Li followed his steps, step by step, they went to the bedroom.

It was her first visit to his house in the mortal world, seeing the pictures on the wall, a sour feeling involuntarily surged in her heart, envying that woman called Gu Lili.
