Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 759: Love Rooted Deep (204)

He answered, "It’s a dream."

She laughed, actually believing she was in a dream.

Leaning into his embrace, she placed her hand on his right shoulder and murmured softly, "The first time I saw you, my heart was moved. After meeting you, I always wanted to see you again, so I orchestrated a few chance encounters with you. You were so cold and polite to me. Only later did I find out that’s how you are with people you don’t know well. And only today did I realize, you’re so passionate with the one you love. I’m doomed to never have you, because you love someone else..."

Then she rambled on about the joy and frustrations of being with him while she was inhabiting Li Mao’s body, things that only the two of them knew about.

She talked until she fell asleep.

Long Yubei laid her down on the bed and turned on the bedside lamp. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The orange glow of the lamp illuminated her features as Long Yubei lay beside her, simply gazing at her.

Objectively speaking, this face was more strikingly beautiful than the one in the mortal world, too conspicuous.

Although Gu Lili’s face was beautiful in its own right, it truly couldn’t compare to her true form.

Skin fair as cream, an oval face with exceptionally delicate features, especially when thinking of the way her eyes seemed to draw people in when she looked at them.

Her black hair cascaded down to her waist, spreading over the pillow, adding a touch of languid charm.

Just as he watched her, she whimpered in her sleep and reached out to hold him, "Long Chan..."

"Mm..."

"I’m just glad that the mother of your child isn’t Hong Ying... glad it’s not her. It’s either her death or mine; we two cannot coexist in this world, it’s never going to be possible..."

Saying so, he gently picked her up and brought her back to her own bedroom in her house.

...

When Jun Li woke up in the morning, she only felt a slight headache. She opened her eyes and looked around, realizing she was in her own bed, and she was a bit confused.

When had she come back?

Why couldn’t she remember?

Thinking back to the scene where she kissed him, her face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.

Sitting up, she covered her face with both hands, her heart racing.

She had actually dreamt about doing that with him...

She could only remember that image and had no recollection of anything else.

"Damn it..." Jun Li got out of bed and ran to the bathroom to freshen up, brushing her teeth while looking at herself in the mirror.

Indeed, after living for over two hundred thousand years, it was high time she had a man, and now she was dreaming such dreams, especially about him...

Thinking of Gu Lili lying in his bedroom.

Jun Li felt an overwhelming sense of shame.

They said he was single, that he wasn’t married, but he had someone in his heart, didn’t he?

As she was coming downstairs, she happened to see him talking to his younger brother in the living room.

Jun Li paused in her steps, suddenly not wanting to go down.

"Big sister, good morning."

"Morning." She came down.

Her gaze landed on the figure sitting there, the casual clothes worn with an inimitable air of sophistication. Even in that moment, in her eyes, her own brother’s shine paled in comparison.

Indeed...

She sighed to herself: Beauty lies in the lover’s eyes.

The one you like appears unique in your own eyes.

Long Yubei noticed her gazing at him, and his eyes, filled with laughter, met hers.

That look made her hurriedly turn away, "I’m off to eat."

Long Yubei found her demure demeanor quite amusing.
