Chapter 435: Chapter 435

"I’m happy as long as you’re happy."

Long Tianjiao was delighted and got up to kiss her but yelped in pain when she pulled her wound.

"If you’re hurt, you should rest." He half-lay down, "You’re in a special situation now, I’ll come to kiss you instead."

Liang He had never been so keen to kiss someone. His slender hand went through the back of her head, holding her face to one side, as he leaned down gently to kiss her.

Long Tianjiao closed her eyes, and the two of them didn’t find it bothering, sharing kisses many times every day.

Gu Lili spent more than twenty days recuperating before she was completely safe and sound.

The air in April was filled with an eager scent.

Gu Lili was more than four months pregnant, and the twins developed very well in her belly, making her appear as if she were six or seven months pregnant. Today, she went to the hospital for a checkup, which was almost a monthly routine.

Accompanying her was Tang Qingli.

At the insistence of Old Madam Long, today’s checkup was not only to include a comprehensive fetal health assessment but also a determination of the babies’ genders.

Lying on the ultrasound bed, Gu Lili prayed silently, hoping that there would be a boy among the children in her belly.

She considered the situation of the Long Family; there was only Long Yubei as a male in the family. If there were two girls in her belly, despite them being her children, the Long Family would be without an heir, unless Long Yubei returned or Father Long had an illegitimate child.

Thus, she hoped it would be twins like Long Yubei and Long Fengxi.

Having both a son and a daughter would be more complete.

But what was the result?

"There are two boys, both males, congratulations Miss Gu."

Gu Lili was overjoyed, "Thank you, doctor."

Although they weren’t boy-and-girl twins, having two boys made her equally happy.

If she had the chance in the future, she would definitely try to have a daughter; after all, a daughter is like a little cotton-padded jacket to her mother, and naturally, she wished to have one.

Tang Qingli, standing by her side, was even happier than if he had become a father himself.

He was incredibly excited and immediately reported the good news to the Long Family.

After the checkup, Tang Qingli helped her out of the hospital, "I’m going to the underworld tonight."

Tang Qingli knew why and thought for a moment before saying, "Young Madam, I’m not sure what to say, but I want to tell you, no matter what, I want you to be safe."

Gu Lili nodded, "Alright, I will remember that."

When she returned home, Gu Lili carefully researched ancient ceremonies.

Su Changzhi had told her that the wedding would be conducted according to ancient rituals.

Naturally, she needed to be familiar with them.

As night fell and rain started pouring outside, her soul left her physical body while she lay in bed.

Accompanied by Xiao Hei, she once again arrived in the underworld.

The last time she came here was when Long Yubei’s soul was restored.

But this time, it was for a wedding ceremony.

In the mortal world, her marital status would still be single, but after tonight, in the underworld, she would be a married woman.

Su Changzhi explained to her how he got the Netherworld King’s consent by telling him the children were his.

He didn’t hide it from her.

As Gu Lili was on her way, she still wondered whether she would see Long Chan again tonight.

This marriage exchanged for freedom from the underworld.

Gu Lili didn’t know if it was worth it to get closer to him, but she knew that not trying would mean truly losing all opportunity.

Everything felt as real in the underworld as in the mortal world.

Dressed in a specially made bright red bridal gown, adorned with bridal makeup and a phoenix crown on her head, she paid her respects to heaven and earth and became the Ninth Princess Consort. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel✶fire.net
