Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 842: Deeply Rooted Love (287)

"Do you like her?"

Long Yubei glanced at Jun Li who seemed oblivious to the question, then refocused on Jingsheng, "Why ask this?"

"I want to know if you’ve forgotten Lili completely? It’s only been a few years, hasn’t it?"

The smile on Long Yubei’s face faded slightly, "It’s my personal business, I don’t need to confess to everyone."

"You don’t need to confess to everyone, but won’t Lili wake up? Though we don’t know when, she will come back. If she wakes up to find you’ve found a new love, how hurt would she be? I hope you can wait for her to come back. Didn’t you love her deeply? She loves you too. Are you really unwilling to wait for her to wake up?"

Jun Li, eating grapes, paused. She stared at the surface of the coffee table, feeling unsettled.

"Even if she wakes up, Beibei won’t be with her anymore." Jun Li’s eyes held a cold glare, "Because he is now my fiancé, known throughout the Five Realms. Jingsheng, now you understand why I live in this neighborhood? My future husband lives here, so naturally, I should live close by to cultivate feelings."

This news left the two opposite them stunned.

"Is it true?" Gu Xichen asked.

"Yes." Long Yubei accepted tenderly, "Jun Li is my fiancée, bestowed by the Heavenly King. It’s an alliance between the Heavenly World and the Netherworld."

"So you’re being forced into it?" Jingsheng pressed, "It’s not of your own free will, is it?"

"No, it’s of my own free will."

Jingsheng couldn’t hold back anymore, her words turned sharp, "Is this your so-called deep love for Lili? It’s nothing more! Lili bore you twin sons, when she was alive you wouldn’t let go of her, and now she’s dead you’ve found a new love so quickly. Long Yubei, I want to see how you tell this to your two sons!"

"I don’t find it difficult to tell the kids about this, Jingsheng, you need not speak to me with such attitude. If you died, Gu Xichen would also remarry." Long Yubei’s tone was even, but every word pierced Jingsheng’s heart as if leaving a hole.

She went silent.

And Gu Xichen didn’t refute him either; in fact, Gu Xichen’s thoughts went deeper than Jingsheng’s.

He knew Gu Lili had returned to her original identity; how could Long Yubei seek someone else knowing she was still alive?

Unless the woman before him, Jun Li, is actually...

Realizing this, his gaze darkened, his eyes focused unblinkingly on Jun Li across from him.

"When do you plan to tell the twins?"

"There’s no immediate rush." Long Yubei replied, "I’ll say it when the time is right."

Gu Xichen nodded, "Congratulations in advance."

Jingsheng looked at her husband in astonishment, truly puzzled as to why he said that. Could it be that only men understand men?

"Thank you."

"We’ll head back now."

Gu Xichen stood up, seeing him leave, Jingsheng hurriedly followed.

Once in the car, she couldn’t help but ask, "What did you mean by that just now?"

Gu Xichen replied while fastening his seatbelt, "Nothing much."

"Nothing much? You actually congratulated him! Xichen, I truly didn’t expect that. Or could it be because he loves someone else and when Lili wakes up, you still want to be with her?"
