Chapter 461: Chapter 461

"Don’t think I won’t punish you just because you’re pregnant! Truly reckless and presumptuous!" The Netherworld King felt he had been fooled by the two of them, his heart burning with indignant rage, "Gu Lili, you marry Ninth while carrying Seventh’s child, do you also intend to make fools of the two of them? I most despise women who play with men and their affections! Today I give you three choices. First, continue your life with Ninth but abort the child and sever ties completely with Seventh. Second, cut off all ties with Ninth forever, I will allow you to divorce and you must never return to the underworld again. Third, you undergo severe punishment; if you can endure it, I will agree to let you keep the child and continue your life with Ninth."

Su Changzhi spoke out, "I am willing to take the severe punishment in place of Lili; she is but a human woman, how could she endure the full punishment, Father, you’re asking her to die!" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel★fire.net

"She may choose not to; she can take the first two options." The Netherworld King’s gaze sharply fell on Gu Lili, "If you feel you cannot endure the first or third option, then divorce Ninth and henceforth have no further involvement with him, and live out your days well in the mortal world."

This option seemed to be the best of all.

To anyone, it was the best.

Not only would it save the child, but it also avoided suffering, it was nothing more than divorcing Su Changzhi and never seeing him again.

"I do not agree!" Su Changzhi’s eyes reddened, "Father, you used to hate seeing me compete with Seventh Brother for Lin Yueer the most, now that I have completely given her up, I want to continue my current life, do you really want to tear us apart? What does it matter if the child she is carrying isn’t mine, I don’t mind, what is it you mind?!"

"You’ve caused such a mess, do you think I wouldn’t punish you?!"

"If you’re going to punish, then just punish me alone, why make Lili choose those!"

"She doesn’t need to choose, then I will decide for her."

As soon as the Netherworld King spoke, Gu Lili chimed in, "I choose."

Su Changzhi turned around and grasped Gu Lili’s hands with his own, "Lili, I really enjoy living life with you, you make me comfortable, you said, if I’m not unfaithful to you, then you will not be unfaithful to me, I don’t want to be cut off from you forever, I don’t want to divorce you, we are husband and wife, you can’t give up on me just for the child you have with Seventh Brother."

Gu Lili looked into his eyes, seeing the real panic, a layer of moisture flickering in his eyes.

She gently rose and embraced him, "I know what it feels like to be abandoned, so rest assured, I will not abandon you, I choose the third option."

Su Changzhi couldn’t deny his shock; at the critical moment, she didn’t give up on him.

Long Yubei’s eyes flickered with surprise, "Gu Lili, have you gone mad?"

Gu Lili looked up, a coldness suddenly erupting, "Doesn’t this outcome suit your wishes?"

"If you don’t want to choose the second option, then choose the first," he replied. He would rather have her and Su Changzhi continue their life together and abort the child than to see her face an outcome from which she might not return.

"What..." Gu Lili could hardly believe what she heard, was he asking her to give up the twins she had been carrying for more than four months?

"Choose the second option," Su Changzhi let go of her, "I am moved by your attitude; you won’t choose the first, I know you can’t bear to do that. You absolutely won’t survive the third; if it means never seeing you again, I would rather you stay safe and well."
