Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 931: With You Always (76)

"I want you to tell me the truth!"

"I’ve always been telling the truth. My feelings for you have faded, but it has nothing to do with anyone else. It’s just between the two of us. It’s the problems we’ve created between us. Don’t you understand?!"

Nan Yuesheng looked into his eyes, the gaze she loved most, now showing a cold light and a tired expression.

"Then, let me ask you one question. Have you ever thought about letting me go?"

"Up until now, I haven’t thought about it."

This was his sincere response. Apart from anything else between them, there’s also a common child. No matter what, Xu Mohan would desperately try to maintain this marriage, but he didn’t know how long he could hold on, because...

If every day continues like this, he feels exhausted.

Nan Yuesheng’s complexion improved a lot, "Then let me ask you again, why didn’t you come up to sleep with me last night?"

"I unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa."

Nan Yuesheng didn’t ask further, "Come downstairs for dinner."

When Gu Lili woke up, Long Yubei was already gone. She habitually assumed he went to the company but saw him enter as she came out from washing up.

"Oh, you didn’t go to the company?"

"I planned to go." Long Yubei pushed her to sit down, "Just as I woke up, Xiao Bai came to report that a war has broken out on the border between the Demon World and Heavenly World, with dozens dead. The Six Realms’ meeting stipulates that if any party initiates a war, they must collectively bear the united attack of the other realms; if it’s an individual, they must be severely punished without mercy. This time it’s obviously collectivity."

"Who started it this time?"

"It’s said to be the Heavenly World." Long Yubei never relaxed his vigilance against the Heavenly King’s actions. "If this time Heavenly World and Demon World start fighting, the Heavenly King will definitely dispatch you to lead the army. Right now, he’d love to seize any opportunity to remove you quickly since your brother is still undergoing a trial in the mortal world; removing you wouldn’t be so hard."

"Beep, beep, beep, beep..." Gu Lili picked up the phone and opened the monitor, seeing people from the Heavenly World arriving at the 9th courtyard, and the two exchanged glances.

"Talk about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives."

"Are you going back?"

"No going back," Gu Lili said decisively, "I don’t want to go back and take orders now."

"That’s true, you might as well hide away."

That was their plan, but unexpectedly, news came from the Netherworld saying the Heavenly King asked the Netherworld King to call Jun Yu back.

The Heavenly King’s intention is clear as day.

"He assumes you know about this matter and probably guessed you’re hiding to avoid involvement, but the Heavenly King blatantly insists on having either you or your brother step forward. How about taking this opportunity to call your brother back, what do you think?"

"No." Gu Lili disagreed. "It’s so chaotic now, the Heavenly King is eager to use Yu to threaten me at any moment. Even if Yu isn’t undergoing a trial in the mortal world now, the Heavenly King would still find ways to give him trouble. Forget it, I’ll still make a trip to the Heavenly World, you go to the Netherworld and tell your father to not let my brother return, and wait for news from the Heavenly World."

"Alright."

They split up to act.

When Gu Lili arrived at the Heavenly World, Yunxiao Palace was in session. Her appearance was within the Heavenly King’s expectations.

"I’ve heard about the situation between the Heavenly World and Demon World this morning. What on earth is going on?"

"Since you’ve returned, I won’t ask someone to call Jun Yu back. If you hadn’t returned, I’d only have Jun Yu take command."

"Is my Heavenly World so devoid of competent people that only the two of us siblings can lead armies? Are all others useless?" Gu Lili had long torn apart her face with him, and now wouldn’t care about anything. "If the situation is perilous, the Heavenly King should just assign others; plenty of people have stronger mana and bravery than the two of us siblings."
