Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 993: With You (138)
"Why are you afraid of her?"
"Because she’s someone who always gets revenge. If someone is kind to her, she’ll repay them doubly, but if someone wrongs her, she’ll stop at nothing to retaliate. This results in two scenarios. People who fear her don’t want to offend her, but neither do they want to get close or interact with her. Those who aren’t afraid of her offend her and then obsess over trying to kill her, yet the Master defies their wishes and simply won’t die. The only weakness Master has in public is Immortal Jun Yu, who’s been sent to the mortal world by the Heavenly King under some pretense. If Master’s enemies were to discover your, the twins’, or others’ connections with Master, abducting you all to coerce Master into submission, it would be all too easy."
"Don’t these people know about Long Yubei’s relationship with Lili?" Gu Xichen asked puzzledly, "Will he be in danger?"
"No, his relationship with Master is only that of an engaged couple on the surface, not married. If they were married, it would be different." Ah Wun continued, "But let me tell you this secretly, my Master is still incredibly formidable. One day, you’ll understand just how formidable she is; it’s just that she doesn’t let others know yet."
"Hearing all this, I truly feel sorry for her. Those frail shoulders have borne the weight of her and her brother’s world today. Perhaps in that world I’ve never visited, there weren’t many who loved her, so when she reincarnated in the mortal world, that’s why so many people genuinely like her. Sadly, her mortal birth mother is no different from her original mother, perhaps meant to have no family to rely on by nature. Strangely, I don’t feel as much pain now." Gu Xichen’s gaze softened slightly, "Ah Wun, your voice has a soothing effect." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"I’ll keep taking care of you until you get better, the Master has already promised. After all, I’m free anyway, and I’m best at keeping you company and alleviating boredom."
"Ah Wun, I haven’t known you for long, but I can feel that you’re a good girl who’s loyal to her master and righteous to her friends."
"Thank you for the compliment. I just think, since we’re alive, we should live well, not disappoint anyone who’s good to us, and live with a clear conscience to feel at peace."
...
Gu Lili had just left Ye Yan when she received a message from Long Yubei.
He wanted her to go to a certain restaurant in the city center.
She went in stealth.
Upon arrival, she saw Jingsheng and a young, handsome man in a suit coming out of the restaurant entrance.
Long Yubei whispered to her, "Follow those two. I’ll check this man’s background. There seems to be an issue."
Gu Lili nodded slightly and silently sat in the back seat of Jingsheng’s car.
The car was playing soothing music.
The man, driving with one hand on the wheel, asked, "How’s this restaurant?"
"Quite good, the taste is spot on," Jingsheng replied, "Do you come here often to eat?"
"Occasionally. I’m not used to eating out; I mostly eat at home." This statement seemed like a prelude as the man quickly added, "Why not come to my place for a bit?"
A man inviting a woman to his place at night is an obvious unspoken invitation.
Gu Lili could tell Jingsheng had a good impression of this man. She immediately agreed.
After driving for a dozen minutes, the car entered a high-end community.
When the car stopped, she followed them to the entrance of the building.
Just after entering the elevator, the man couldn’t wait to kiss Jingsheng, and Jingsheng didn’t show any resistance.
