Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 917: With You Always (62)

"Since it’s already set, the wedding date must be coming soon."

"I’m planning to give Xiangyi a special gift."

"What is it?"

"You’ll never guess."

Long Yubei’s dark eyes gleamed with humor, "If you don’t tell me, of course I wouldn’t know."

Gu Lili got out of bed, grabbed some paper and a pen, quickly scribbled something on the bed, then handed it to him, "It’s this." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He looked at it closely and saw it read: [As your wedding gift, I grant you one wish—nothing against morality, nothing against humanity. As long as you ask, as long as I can do it, I’ll definitely fulfill it.]

After reading, he couldn’t help but smile, "Your gift is indeed unique."

"Right? Others give items or money, who would offer a promise? I’m giving her one."

"Then can you also offer me a promise?" He gently held her head, kissing her forehead softly, "Hmm?"

"Are you trying to propose?"

"No." He denied, "I want you to promise me you’ll live well."

"I can promise you right now, I will live well, no matter the cost."

Long Yubei felt somewhat reassured, "Remember your words, never forget them."

"Okay."

"At last, Ai Fei transformed into a tenuous shadow, and the boy Jamie who loved her stayed in the house where they once loved, never leaving, able to speak but unable to see each other until death separated them..." Ah Wun’s throat was parched from storytelling, "Children, I’ve told four stories tonight, how come none of you are sleepy?"

"Ah Wun, Jamie was wonderful..." stars clutched her arm, "Where did you read this story, Ah Wun?"

"I made it up myself."

"Then change the ending, I don’t like it, I want Ai Fei and Jamie to marry and have a baby."

"Ai Fei and Jamie come from different races; they can’t be together. I explained earlier, Ai Fei turns into a transparent person as punishment from her clan leader for being with Jamie. If she doesn’t stay with Jamie, she wouldn’t be punished, but she insisted, so the ending can’t be changed—it’s cause and effect." Ah Wun smoothed his hair on the forehead, "Being together is about soul connection, you’re too young to understand grown-up worlds. Tomorrow I’ll tell you stories about animals."

listen objected, "We don’t want those fairy tales, they’re too childish, we’re not two-year-olds. Ah Wun, the stories you tell are interesting, I like listening."

"Brother’s right, I agree."

Ah Wun pulled the blankets up for them, "You two little ones talk quite the lot, it’s time for bed."

stars turned her back to listen and faced Ah Wun, "Ah Wun, I can’t sleep, can you sing a song?"

"Do you want me to dance too?"

"Yeah, yeah, can you?"

"..." Ah Wun yawned, "I’m sleepy, I need to sleep. You have school tomorrow, it’s late, sleep now or you won’t get up in the morning."

She said, getting up and instinctively crawling to the foot of the bed to sleep.

The two kids curiously stayed awake, playing rock-paper-scissors under the blanket.

They played until eleven before falling asleep.

Resulting in not being able to get up the next morning as expected.

When Ah Wun finished grooming and saw the two little lazybones still motionless, she went over and grabbed each by one arm, pulling them up, "Get up quickly, you’re going to be late for school."
