Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 959: With You Always (104)

"That’s what I’m saying." Mr. Long commented, "Seeing these two kids is like seeing Beibei when he was little."

Everyone was eating, drinking, and laughing together.

Gu Xichen inevitably had some drinks as well. Gu Lili said to him, "Don’t go back tonight, stay over at the house."

Anyway, it would be lonely if he went back home, so Gu Xichen agreed.

After the food and drinks, it wasn’t until after ten o’clock that everyone began to depart.

Gu Lili settled Long Yubei and prepared clean clothes for Gu Xichen, delivering them herself, "This suit was tailored for you, I planned to send it to you, but since you’re here, wear it tomorrow. The shirt is new too, and here’s a towel, toothbrush, toothpaste, and comb."

Gu Xichen noticed her face was flushed from drinking. "You drank quite a lot too."

"I got carried away and had a couple of extra glasses. Get some rest soon, I’m heading upstairs to sleep."

"Alright, good night."

Gu Xichen closed the door, freshened up, but couldn’t fall asleep after getting into bed.

Everyone was asleep except for the personnel on duty in the yard.

He put on his clothes, wanting to go to the third-floor balcony.

Passing by the twins’ bedroom, he heard a woman’s song.

"The longing for you never changes, still loving you, my heartbeat from this moment, only breathes for you, separation brings the pain of yearning. Forgetting, how to forget..."

Gu Xichen stepped lightly closer, confirming it was indeed a woman’s voice, very low, along with voices talking to the twins.

At this hour, the two kids still aren’t asleep?

And there’s a woman here, who could it be?

Logically speaking, it should be a very trusted woman, but he hadn’t heard of a maid keeping the twins company by night.

Curious, Gu Xichen gently pushed the door open.

Only a sliver of the door was open.

He couldn’t see anything.

"Ah Wun, sing ’One Master, Three Apprentices’!"

"Look at the time, it’s only because it’s your dad’s birthday today that he allowed you two to stay up this late. See, your brother’s asleep, but you’re still not sleeping. If you don’t sleep, I’ll have to spank you."

"Okay, okay, I’m sleeping."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xichen wasn’t fearful anymore; it sounds like this invisible person is someone familiar to the twins and Long Yubei.

He stood there unmoving for several minutes and finally decided to push the door open to go inside, only to be stopped by an invisible barrier.

Ah Wun woke up abruptly, beside her the stars were already asleep.

"Why can’t I get in?" Gu Xichen asked quietly, "Hello, I’m the twins’ uncle, what is happening here?"

Ah Wun, having been discovered, replied, "A barrier is set up, you can’t see it nor enter."

"How can I get in then?"

"Find the twins’ mom; she can let you in."

"Alright, I’ll go find her."

Curious as ever, Gu Xichen went to find Gu Lili.

Gu Lili hadn’t fallen asleep yet, though she was already in bed, "You heard sounds?"

"Of course, what is this barrier?"

"It’s like an invisible wall. Whoever I want to see and enter can do so."

"Who is that woman in there?"

"One of my subordinates." Gu Lili whispered, "She helped me with a mission, and many people are after her. I arranged for her to hide in the twins’ room, this matter is very important, if outsiders find out, not only will it be dangerous for her, it could bring serious trouble to me too."

Hearing this, Gu Xichen realized the gravity of the situation, "Let me see and enter too."
