Chapter 444: Chapter 444
Su Changzhi continued, "Maybe it’s just as you once said, merely an obsession. When I spoke of giving up, I didn’t feel sad, which even I did not expect. Perhaps it’s because I’ve always been innocent of guilt towards her, or maybe because I realized after her reincarnation that she truly no longer loved me. She once told me that she felt sorry for me when she was with Long Chan, and then said she felt sorry for Long Chan when she was with me. So, she let me and Seventh Brother compete for her. But when you think about it, how can one really love two people? It’s nothing more than greed."
"Our marriage then..."
"We won’t divorce." He looked at her seriously. "It’s better this way. We will live simple and warm days together. In fact, I often think about the times when I lived with you, they were truly happy. Lili, now that we are husband and wife, I am willing to only have eyes for you from now on. Can you also only have eyes for me?" Official source ıs novelfire.net
Gu Lili picked up the soup spoon then put it down again, "Are you serious?"
"I never joke on this matter with you."
"No jokes? In the Netherworld King Hall, you insisted on marrying me, but the moment you found out I wasn’t Lin Yueer, you immediately turned your back on me." Gu Lili did not hesitate to expose him, "You were even going to take away the ring."
He stretched out his hand and placed it on the table, with both rings engraved with their names in the palm of his hand, "Please my dear wife, accept these rings, and never return them again."
Gu Lili wasn’t coy. She picked up the ring with her name engraved and put it on his finger. A smile touched his dark eyes as he slipped the ring with his own name engraved onto her ring finger.
"You haven’t answered my question just now. From now on, can you also only have eyes for me?"
"Then you answer me first, if your father finds out that the child in my belly isn’t yours, how will he punish us?"
"As long as we do not admit it, that will be sufficient to deal with it. The child, once born, cannot carry the Long surname. If not mine, then it must bear yours."
He watched her intently, "Can you answer now?"
"From now on... If you do not betray me, I will not betray you."
Su Changzhi held her hand with the ring, "Lili, I will treat you well. To show you my determination, I’ve decided to switch to modern attire, cut my long hair, and live openly with you. I’ll accompany you to any place you want to go and raise our child together."
"Actually, you don’t need to cut your hair. If you wish, I can find another young body for you."
"I don’t want to use another person’s body anymore. There is no much difference between ancient and modern attire; it’s just that we’ve lived too long and have gotten used to the ancient style." He was resolute. "You help me buy clothes, from the inside out, from head to toe, everything."
"Write your measurements on paper for me later; I’ll go buy them."
Seeing he was determined, she said no more.
A marriage had happened by a twist of fate, and now that it had come to this point, she would just go with the flow. She didn’t want to struggle anymore.
After eating, Gu Lili had Antonio come pick her up in the car; driving wasn’t convenient with her pregnant belly. She took the opportunity to use Antonio as a model and bought many sets of men’s clothes all at once.
Antonio was extremely surprised, "Why are you suddenly buying clothes for me today?"
"Not for you, just to see how they look on you. He’s about the same height as you."
"He?" Antonio asked, "Long Yubei?!"
His tone was almost affirmative.
"Not him. I have nothing to do with Long Yubei. By the way, prepare for a dinner tonight to invite people we know. I will introduce my husband to you all."
