Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 818: Deeply Rooted Love (263)
That Jun Li is really good at deluding herself, truly thinking that just because Long Chan is somewhat amiable towards her, he genuinely esteems her?
Since Jun Li is unaware, she might as well silently anticipate it.
The waiting time was not long because once Su XinXing informed Long Yubei, he came without hesitation.
Even Su XinXing was surprised.
How could he know how delighted Long Yubei was inside? Hahaha, no one else chose!
Isn’t this delivered right to his door?
When he arrived at the door, he suppressed his inner joy, maintaining a calm and meticulous expression, entering alongside Su XinXing.
Long Yubei, dressed in white, unexpectedly matched Jun Li perfectly.
His brows and eyes were like paintings, his expression serene, as he saluted, "Greetings, Heavenly King."
"No need for formalities. Your brother must have told you why you are here. I heard that Jun Li was your neighbor in the mortal world, and you know each other, so let me ask you now, are you willing to marry Jun Li?"
"I’m overwhelmed. Goddess Jun Li is your sister, and I have two children. I am afraid I am unworthy of Goddess Jun Li..."
His refusal seemed so certain that no one was surprised. The Heavenly King closed his eyes and reopened them, seemingly suppressing his anger, "You are unwilling as well?"
"If the Goddess doesn’t mind being a stepmother to my children, I have no objection and am willing to marry her."
This reversal was completely unexpected for everyone.
Shan Langyuan and Su Changzhi exchanged glances, looking astonished. Hong Ying’s pupils contracted, her hand tightened with a sudden warmth, and her jaw clenched.
The Heavenly King’s brows smoothed as he looked at Jun Li, "What do you think of Long Chan?"
Jun Li smiled slightly, "I don’t mind being a stepmother to your children. I just want to ask in front of everyone: Long Chan, why are you willing to marry me when so many others are not?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"I have seen you before; though it was just a chance encounter and we are not familiar, you left a deep impression. Immortal Jun Yu bought a house in my neighborhood, and after you moved in, we’ve gotten to know each other better. What I understand of you is that you are a sincere person. I don’t know why they don’t choose you, but I think the majority’s decision is not necessarily correct."
Jun Li nodded, her gaze turning to the Heavenly King, "Brother, if Long Chan has the courage to marry me, I have the courage to marry him. I agree to this marriage."
"Netherworld King, what is your opinion?" The Heavenly King clearly asked one more question.
"Our previous alliance through marriage between our two realms failed, but this time, with both parties in agreement, I believe it will be enduring. Naturally, I am pleased."
"Since that’s the case, let’s take this opportunity to set the wedding date," the Heavenly King pondered, "But considering Jun Yu is not here, we can’t have his older sister’s wedding without him. Let’s wait until Jun Yu returns from the mortal world to hold the wedding."
Jun Li seemed to understand his intention, "Brother’s words are very true."
He originally didn’t plan to form an alliance and had informed the Netherworld King as much; this outcome was inevitable, just for the Heavenly World’s face.
Presumably, before involving the Netherworld further, this must be naturally resolved before Jun Yu returns.
"Long Chan, take a seat as well. Sit with Jun Li and join the meeting."
"Yes."
Long Chan walked slowly towards Jun Li and sat next to her.
Jun Li’s heart was surging with emotion.
As she withdrew her gaze, she accidentally glanced at Su Changzhi, who was looking in their direction.
His gaze was deep and enigmatic, with no clear reason for watching her like that.
