Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 835: Deeply Rooted Love (280)

She sat down in front of the mountain, with Long Yubei beside her and Hong Ying across from her.

When the dishes were finally all served and they started eating, Long Yubei didn’t eat much himself but kept picking food for Jun Li in front of everyone. Even when Jun Li signaled him with her eyes to ease up, he ignored her and only intensified his actions.

Hong Ying’s face quickly turned dark; she resisted the urge to throw her chopsticks and forced herself to finish the meal.

Jun Li noticed that Hong Ying was about to explode with anger, and an inexplicable satisfaction rose within her. She also took the initiative to pick food for Long Yubei, "Daddy Stars, you should eat more too."

"Today’s meal really suits my taste." Long Yubei looked toward the kitchen’s Chief Chang Tai, "Get double the salary today." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Thank you, Young Master."

Jun Li also picked food for the two little guys one by one. Strangely enough, she didn’t dislike these children Long Yubei and Gu Lili had together; instead, she liked them very much, almost as if there was a natural affinity.

Watching the harmonious and friendly interaction, Hong Ying was very unhappy. She had hated Jun Li for many years. The original source of this enmity was indeed a distant memory.

Layer upon layer of old grievances had accumulated, intertwining many matters, and whenever the two of them met in the past, it was like sparks flying.

But now, Jun Li had learned better to hide her emotions, not giving the other party any chance to see through her.

The table remained largely silent until the two children finished their meal and went upstairs to leave, and Jun Li also left. Only then did the conversation at the table begin.

"When do you plan to tell the kids about your engagement?" Hong Ying asked.

"It doesn’t matter whether I tell them or not." Long Yubei replied casually, his dark eyes veiling a deep layer, "Their mom will always be their mom. They have their own mom. I never thought of finding them a stepmother. I’m looking for a wife."

"When did you two meet?"

"We met tens of thousands of years ago; there just wasn’t much interaction. Recently, because we live close by, we became more familiar."

Hong Ying asked again, "At the Six Realms meeting, with so many people present, why did you feel the need to stand out?"

"What do you mean by standing out?" Long Yubei answered as if it was only natural, "I don’t think I was deliberately standing out. A woman like Divine Mother Jun Li is rare, and I’m fortunate to be engaged to her."

"Long Chan, your recent changes are earth-shattering. I increasingly don’t understand you; what exactly do you want?"

Hong Ying showed disappointment. She always believed that Long Yubei liked her, that he always did, and didn’t expect such a dramatic twist.

"What do you mean by what do I want?"

"You don’t love Jun Li at all, don’t think I don’t know. You know very well what position she holds in the Heavenly World, yet you don’t love her, but you’re engaged to her, why is that? I’d like to know the reason, can you tell me?"

"Hong Ying, this is my business, so there’s no need for you to inquire much. Since Jun Li is my fiancée now, and your relationship with her is so poor, you should try to meet her as little as possible in the future."

The meaning was clear: if possible, come to Qin Garden less often in the future.

Of course Hong Ying understood. She looked at him, "I’ve always known the one you deeply love is the twins’ mother, but in the past, your attitude towards me was different from other women. I thought you had romantic feelings for me."

Long Yubei put down his chopsticks, "I’m sorry for letting you misunderstand. I don’t have romantic feelings for you; I’ve only considered you as a friend."
