Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 970: With You Always (115)

As he spoke, he placed a barrier around her.

He reached out and pinched her chin, "Now that you’re in my hands, you won’t escape this easily."

"Do you think... even knowing your place is like a dragon’s pool and a tiger’s den, why would I still come?"

"It’s obviously because you’re forced to yield to your Heavenly King..."

"The reason I came is mainly because of you, Rong Fei."

"Because of me?" He squinted his eyes, "What do you mean?"

"If it weren’t for you initiating the hostage exchange, how would he find this excuse to send me here?" She sat up abruptly, grabbing his collar, "Just with your little tricks, do you think you can control my mana?"

Before Rong Fei could react, she had already pinned him down on the couch.

A barrier ended up trapping him instead.

She could break his sister’s barrier because her cultivation was higher; her cultivation, he couldn’t break.

Thus tonight, she slept in his bed while he was on the couch.

Watching his frantic expression, Gu Lili felt delighted, "Young Master Rong Fei, this is just the beginning. The days are long, do you truly think I’m a naive simpleton who dares to come here, eat your food and drink your tea without any defenses? That would be suicidal!"

Rong Fei lay there on his side, his expression gradually calming, "I heard the mother of Long Chan’s child is still alive. Why don’t you break off the engagement with him?"

She glanced at him, "That’s my business, none of your concern."

"Do you want to leverage your connection with the Netherworld to escape the Heavenly King’s control?"

"Think whatever you want."

"From my perspective, that’s exactly it. If you marry Long Chan, you’d become a person of the Netherworld."

"I’m tired, going to sleep." Gu Lili turned her back to him.

Rong Fei’s eyes remained on her silhouette, "You’re probably the first woman to sleep in my bed all night."

"Really? I can’t tell if it’s an honor or a misfortune."

"It’s your honor."

Gu Lili ignored him and slept peacefully, whereas he suffered from insomnia.

Jun Xiangyi learned that Gu Lili had become a hostage in the Demon World and wanted to go to the Heavenly World to find her father, but was stopped by Feng Qinglian.

"Earlier, you already had a falling out with your father, and your aunt has gone to the Demon World. Going now is meaningless."

"Father must be doing this on purpose."

"Whether he’s doing it on purpose or not, this decision won’t change." Feng Qinglian advised her, "Your father will soon have his birthday. We’ll return to the Heavenly World for his celebration, and you can privately ask your mother about your aunt’s situation then."

"I’m not going back for his birthday." Jun Xiangyi thought of the Heavenly King telling her to die in the Demon World and not return, which left her feeling unsettled.

Feng Qinglian saw through her thoughts, "Back then, your father was likely speaking in anger. Do you really take it seriously? Despite everything, he’s your biological father. If he wasn’t considering your future, why would he put so much effort into finding you a match?"

"That’s probably because as long as I’m not married, he feels embarrassed about me every day."

Feng Qinglian peeled an apple for her, "What’s the point of having a stalemate with your father? You must attend his birthday, or else people will say we’re an inconsiderate couple."

Jun Xiangyi said nothing, eating the apple casually.

"By the way, your mother wants you to do a check-up today."

She glanced up, "What kind of check-up?"

"A pregnancy check-up."

"It’s not that fast, is it?"
