Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 938: With You Always (83)

Seeing him leave, Mrs. Nan sat down and said, "I still can’t figure it out. What does my son-in-law do for a living? Why do I never see him go out to work, nor see him doing any business? Where does he get so much money from? Is he involved in illegal activities?"

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Nan Yuesheng said dissatisfied, "You don’t need to know what he does. As long as you have food, a place to live, and some pocket money, that’s enough. Why care so much?"

"But others ask, and I have to answer them, right?"

"No need to answer." Nan Yuesheng felt she couldn’t explain this to her mother and was too lazy to try.

"Other sons-in-law make their mothers-in-law happy, but my son-in-law is indifferent even when he sees me. Rich people are indeed different."

Hearing her complain, Nan Yuesheng couldn’t help but say, "That’s just how he is. He doesn’t want to talk to people he doesn’t like."

"You’re silly too. While Zhuozheng is only four, why not hurry and have another child? To avoid long-term problems, you have him living under your nose like this for a long time. I feel he doesn’t really care about you that much and might find new love sooner or later."

Nan Yuesheng felt annoyed at her mother for bringing up sore points, "Are you really hoping your daughter would make room for someone else?"

"Of course I don’t want that. I’m just being realistic. The more kids you have, the more you can hold onto him."

"If he doesn’t want a second child, what can I do?"

"See, that’s a sign. You better be aware of it yourself. I’ve been through this; listen to me, and you won’t go wrong."

Nan Yuesheng didn’t want to continue, "You’ve handled your marriage like that, so please don’t give me advice."

"You locked Rong Fei in Yard No. 9?"

"You guessed it, impressive." Gu Lili happily said, "The same way he treated me before, I’m treating him now, letting him taste what it’s like to be imprisoned."

"Aren’t you afraid he’ll guess you’re Ding Xiang from before?"

"So what if he knows? He should feel accomplished if he can figure out I am Gu Lili." Gu Lili was practicing a handstand, "But I might become the first person he wants to take down, so I have to go to Xichen’s later."

"Why are you going to find him?"

"Today, when I went back to Lizhi Garden to change my battle dress, I found an Amulet made by Yu and plan to give it to him. I don’t need it anyway."

"What kind of Amulet?"

"Look, it’s on my battle dress." She pointed to her dress.

Long Yubei leaned over and took it off to examine it, "What kind of wood is this carved from?"

"It’s made from the sandalwood that’s thousands of years old in Yu’s yard." Gu Lili praised the Amulet, "That big sandalwood tree was used just to make this Amulet. Yu always strives for perfection in his work, and wearing this Amulet for a long time is particularly good for one’s health. I think it’s nice to give it to him."

"You are really good to him." Long Yubei placed the Amulet on the table, "Your brother-in-law is really skilled with his hands, carving it so well."

"Absolutely, there’s no denying that."

"But, you can just have Qing Li deliver it. Why go personally?"

"Can’t I just want to see him?"

"If you put it that way, I’m not happy. You can only think about me; no matter who it is, no other man is allowed in your thoughts."

Gu Lili chuckled, "Look at you being so domineering. Are you trying to control my mind too?"

Long Yubei knelt on one knee, bent over, and kissed her lips, "Not just your mind, every part of you, even a single strand of hair, is under my control."
