Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 898: With You Always (43)

Mother Jun frowned, "Jun Li is already engaged to the Netherworld, isn’t it inappropriate to send her away like this? What will you say to the Netherworld?"

"I never intended for her to actually marry into the Netherworld, it was just a reluctant decision at the time. I will explain it to the Netherworld King. Moreover, as far as I know, the biological mother of Long Chan’s child is still alive, making Jun Li unnecessary. It’s better to use this chance to break the engagement. There’s no one more suitable than Jun Li to serve as my pawn and also leave the Heavenly World. Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?"

"I heard from Xiangyi that she’s in seclusion, not concerning herself with worldly matters."

"Just have her end her seclusion, it’s not difficult."

"What if she refuses?"

The Heavenly King snorted, "Can she make decisions on her own?"

"Her father died at the hands of your father. I’m afraid she won’t sincerely act as your puppet. I honestly think she’s not the best candidate. There are many ways to drive her out of the Heavenly World, it doesn’t have to be this one. The person you arrange should be someone who truly trusts you and sincerely reports everything to you. In my opinion, Jun Li is not suitable."

"With her brother as leverage, would she dare to have other thoughts? Jun Yu is her weak spot. I just need to pressure her a bit, and she’ll know what to do." The Heavenly King was determined. "I find others unsuitable; she’s the most appropriate."

"Even so, it’s better to consult Xiangyi and see her opinion."

"I didn’t plan to send her; why ask for her opinion?"

Mother Jun grew anxious, "Look at you, Xiangyi has always been worried about her poor matches. Perhaps she likes Rong Fei. It’s not too late to decide after seeing her attitude."

The Heavenly King summoned Jun Xiangyi.

After explaining the situation, he finally asked, "Do you want to marry into the Demon World?"

"I don’t want to," Jun Xiangyi replied directly. "I’ve heard about Rong Fei’s chaotic private life. Plus, he’s the Young Master and will inevitably have many wives and concubines. I don’t want to share a husband with any woman."

The Heavenly King never truly intended to send her, and hearing her response, he told his wife, "See? She doesn’t want to go at all."

Mother Jun sighed and could only let it go.

...

Gu Lili wasn’t in the Lizhi Garden, but there was a surveillance setup installed there, so if anyone visited, she could find out while in the Human World.

Thus, when she saw the maid beside the Heavenly King heading there, she immediately returned.

On the way to Yunxiao Palace, she kept pondering why the Heavenly King was seeking her at this moment. It wasn’t until she saw the others and heard about marrying into the Demon World that Gu Lili’s face turned cold without disguise.

She didn’t need to think to know what the Heavenly King’s intentions were.

"I’m already engaged, how can I marry into the Demon World?"

"To be honest, I never planned for you to marry into the Netherworld. That was just to save face for the Heavenly World. Moreover, isn’t the biological mother of Long Chan’s child still alive? I’ve heard they’re still very much in love. Even if you’re engaged to him, how can you compete with someone he has a child with? This alliance between the Demon World and the Heavenly World is crucial. If you don’t go, then your brother will marry the Demon King’s daughter. Which do you think is better?"

"Heavenly King, you promised me not to get involved in Yu’s marriage."

"When I made that promise, you were nominally my brother and sister. Now you’re not, so why should I keep that promise? Currently, you’re no different from other Heavenly World members; naturally, serving the Heavenly World is your unquestionable duty." The Heavenly King spoke these words without any change in expression, as if everything he had said before was nonsense.
