Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 864: With You Always (9)
Jun Xiangyi smiled with a knowing glint, "Uncle’s waist strength is really good."
Jun Li reached out and flicked her forehead, "You cheeky girl, you even dare tease me."
"I was clearly teasing uncle..." She rubbed her head, "Aunty, where do you plan to go for fun?"
"Last time at the Emperor Palace, only you sang, this time I want to sing properly."
"No problem, let me finish watching the movie first."

Long Yubei went to the West Sea with his mother, Long Qian.
The West Sea Dragon King was his grandfather.
Long Qian was the fourth daughter of the West Sea Dragon King.
The reason they returned this time was because the West Sea Dragon King had specifically called them back, saying there was an important matter to discuss.
When the two arrived at the West Sea, the Dragon King was already waiting.
"Father, you called us back—do you have important matters to discuss with us?"
The Dragon King waved his hand, "Sit down first."
Long Yubei and Long Qian sat down in order, and the Dragon King looked slightly serious, "Chan, tell your grandfather the truth, why are you engaged to Jun Li?"
"I like her."
"So you’re planning to marry her?"
Long Yubei laughed, "Grandfather, look at what you’re saying, isn’t an engagement just a prelude to marriage? Of course, I plan to marry her."
"But the Heavenly King granted your engagement without the intent of marriage. He originally wanted to marry Jun Li off to some insignificant figure and be done with it, but nobody was chosen for her at the Six Realms conference."
"Grandfather, the Heavenly King never intended to ally with the Netherworld because of what happened between Jun Xiangyi and my third brother. The Heavenly King has held that against us, even sent an early message to my father saying there would be no alliance, and in the end, he let us from the Netherworld step in to save the day."
The Dragon King looked at him seriously, "Didn’t you realize? You’re just a last-minute substitute. Jun Xiangyi could ally with the Netherworld, but Jun Li certainly can’t; you won’t be able to marry her. Because your grandfather believes that before Immortal Jun Yu returns, Jun Li will be dealt with by the Heavenly World. The Heavenly King acts brotherly with her on the surface, but in reality, he fears her. After all, Jun Li is Jun Pingsheng’s daughter, and people who’ve lived long enough know how Jun Pingsheng actually died. Such things can’t be easily concealed. Naturally, the Heavenly King fears they might one day become a threat to the Heavenly World. Your grandfather advises you to think carefully and not involve yourself in these murky waters so that you’re not also caught by the blades aimed at Jun Li."
"Grandfather doesn’t need to worry," Long Yubei said leisurely, "There aren’t just one or two people who want her dead. The fact that she’s still alive and well today proves her capability. If I were to retreat out of fear of being involved, I wouldn’t have shown up to get engaged to her that day."
"I knew you had a stubborn nature." The Dragon King turned to his daughter, "Just like you."
"Your daughter was born to you; if she’s not like you, who else would she be like?" Long Qian said fearlessly, "My son’s choice is naturally what he thinks is best. Whatever he wants to do, let him do it. I support him. Besides, Jun Li’s situation is indeed not easy. A woman holding her ground with a younger brother in the Heavenly World—that’s impressive and not easy. If Chan doesn’t stay strong, wouldn’t that be disappointing? Since she’s my Long Qian’s daughter-in-law to be, since she’s Chan’s choice, we’ll see it through to the end."
"You two really are in agreement." The Dragon King sighed helplessly, "I knew talking to you would be pointless. I’ll leave you be, my dear grandson. Since you’ve come, accompany your grandpa for a few drinks later."
