Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 906: With You Always (51)
Long Yubei made an unexpected move, kissing Gu Lili during the live broadcast, "Me too."
"Considering Miss Gu’s family situation at the time, which was quite different from the Long Family, did the elders of the Long Family object?"
Gu Lili continued to answer, "My grandparents were very understanding. As long as Beibei had no objections, they expressed strong support. And after we got married, they treated me really well, making me feel the warmth of family."
The whole answer didn’t mention Long Yubei’s parents.
"I’ve heard that Miss Gu is an orphan and grew up in Xiliang Mountain. Have you ever thought about finding your birth parents?"
"Never." Gu Lili smiled faintly, "My mentor was Gu Xichen’s mother. She adopted and raised me from a young age, taught me all she learned from a prestigious university, treating me like her own daughter. So, I never lacked motherly love. As for the absence of a father’s care, I might have felt the need as a child, but now, I’ve moved past that stage and no longer have any thoughts in that aspect. I used to wonder if maybe my birth parents had to give me up unwillingly. Until a few years ago, I accidentally found out about them and clearly understood that I wasn’t given up out of necessity, but rather abandoned because they wanted a son. Such birth parents aren’t worth any forgiveness from me."
"A final question." Cheng Yi asked with a smile, "Are there really ghosts in this world?"
"Believe if you want, don’t if you don’t." She provided an ambiguous answer, not directly confirming it, leaving room for imagination, as the Five Realms still prefer the Human World not to know of their existence. Although many people indeed know, most either don’t believe or are skeptical without having seen for themselves, finding it hard to affirm the existence of supernatural phenomena.
This was always intended to be a short interview, and the topics were mostly exhausted by now. Cheng Yi fully demonstrated a host’s professionalism, not meddling with additional questions.
She could have asked some sharp questions, but she chose not to.
Mainly because she knew neither Gu Lili nor Long Yubei have gentle tempers, and this was a live broadcast. If she asked inappropriate questions, wouldn’t it embarrass them in front of many viewers if they decided to walk away?
Hence, she avoided stirring things up.
The live interview ended, and just as they were about to leave the studio, Cheng Yi’s phone rang as soon as she turned it on.
After taking the call, she quickly looked at Long Yubei, nodded, and then hung up.
"Mr. Long, my father wants to meet and have dinner with you and Miss Gu."
Since Gu Lili’s survival was announced, the President’s Residence had been silent, assuming mutual acknowledgment of no further relation. No one expected they’d want to have dinner together. Could it be they watched the broadcast and wanted to issue a warning to prevent things from being spoken out?
Four or five staff members came in, all hearing Cheng Yi’s words. If Long Yubei refused, it might not look good once word got out.
"Alright." Long Yubei agreed.
"I’m heading back anyway, why not go together?"
Gu Lili had no objections; not going might make her look like she was afraid to meet them.
At this point, she was fearless even before the Heavenly King; would she really fear a President from the Human World?
In the car, Cheng Yi sat in the front passenger seat while the other two sat in the back.
