Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 901: With You Always (46)

"The method may be underhanded, but once it succeeds, it’s a straight path to the goal." The Heavenly King instructed, "You handle this matter."

"Okay."

...

Gu Lili returned to Qin Garden, but Long Yubei had not yet come back from the company.

Seeing that it was almost time, she sat on the sofa to wait for him.

After waiting for more than twenty minutes, she heard his footsteps at the door.

"I’m back."

"Come upstairs with me, I have something important to tell you."

Seeing her take the lead, Long Yubei followed her in slippers, and as Gu Lili saw him coming, she darted upstairs.

At the bedroom door on the second floor, he caught her right on the spot, hooking her neck from behind, his voice low and mellow, "Why are you running?"

"Why are you chasing?"

The two went in and shut the door.

"What’s so important?"

"The Demon King proactively proposed a marriage alliance with Xiangyi, the partner being Rong Fei."

"And then?"

"Xiangyi is unwilling, but the Heavenly King wants me to enter the marriage. I could see, whether Xiangyi agrees or not, he will make me go. Doesn’t the Heavenly King understand the current situation between the Demon World and the Heavenly World? No matter what attitude the Demon World expresses, the Heavenly World won’t take it lightly this time..."

Listening carefully from start to finish, Long Yubei asked, "Was it your plan to abduct the Demon Queen?"

"Of course." Gu Lili admitted, "Why would I let them have peace? If they’re peaceful, then it’ll be my turn to have unrest."

Long Yubei affectionately rubbed against her face, "Fortunately, you’re smart and prepared in advance. Otherwise, you’d once again have to wade into these murky waters. It seems the Heavenly King is truly eager to kick you out of the Heavenly World, while trying to maintain appearances, wanting to chase you away but also find an acceptable reason."

"He’s always been like this, but I’m not worried at all." Gu Lili smirked, "If he dares to play tricks on me, will I let it go easily?"

As Long Yubei was kissing her ardently, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the twins saw their parents in that situation. They immediately covered their eyes but peeked through their fingers, "So embarrassing."

"Didn’t Daddy tell you to knock before entering?" Long Yubei’s gaze went over, and the two children fell silent, exchanged a glance, and quickly said, "Daddy, we’re sorry, carry on, we’ll leave now."

Having said that, they dashed off.

Gu Lili pinched Long Yubei, "Look how you scared the kids. I ought to punish you, can you stop being so stern in front of them? Are they your enemies?"

"Wrongly accused, when did I have a stern face?" He refused to admit, "I’ve always been especially fond of them."

"Is... that so?" She elongated her words, "I warn you, Long Yubei, if you ever scold my sons again, you won’t sleep next to me for a week."

What?! A week!

That long!

Not even a day!

"I assure you, I’ll never scold the boys, never."

"We’ll see how you behave." Gu Lili wanted to go out and relax, so she said to him, "Shall we go out shopping after dinner?"

"If you want to buy anything, let Qing Li get it."

"I don’t want to buy anything, I just want to go out and walk around."

Long Yubei agreed, "Alright, after dinner, we’ll go."

That’s what they planned, but after dinner, before they could leave, something came up.

At that hour, Ma Shijie, whom they hadn’t seen in ages, unexpectedly paid a visit. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I thought you might be home at this time, so I came to see you. Miss Gu, I’ve been wanting to visit you, but official duties have been too demanding, I just couldn’t get away."
