Chapter 635: Chapter 635
Gu Lili sighed, "How long will that take?"
"It depends on the Heavenly King’s mood."
"So the marital alliance is completely off the table now?"
"The Heavenly King no longer intends to enter into a marital alliance with our clan. He feels that my Sixth Brother, Eleventh Brother, and Xu Moqing have embarrassed the Heavenly World. My father doesn’t want to offend the Heavenly King over this and create a rift between the two realms, so he proactively suggested the alliance to ensure something doesn’t happen again."
Gu Lili’s emotions were like a roller coaster, soaring and plunging, "Who will be chosen this time?"
"I don’t know, my father is letting the Heavenly King choose himself, so whoever is chosen this time won’t be able to escape it."
"If you get chosen..."
"Do you want me to marry someone else?"
"Marry whoever you want to marry, it’s your business."
Long Yubei could tell she was deliberately saying this, so he leaned in close to her ear and asked, "Do you really not care?"
"It’s not up to me to decide." Would the Heavenly King listen to her if she cared?
"I don’t think I’m a likely candidate." Long Yubei continued, "I have two children, and even if Goddess Jun Xiangyi has a bad reputation, she wouldn’t want to be a stepmother. After all, she is the Heavenly King’s daughter, a noble being. I feel my third brother is a more likely choice."
"His Magic Power Cultivation and age are both higher than ours. Why do you think my father chose my third brother directly to begin with? In my father’s eyes, they are a suitable match. If that’s what my father thinks, what about the Heavenly King?"
"What about Yuesheng?"
"If Yuesheng is willing to humble herself, she could become a concubine."
Gu Lili exhaled, "I hope it’s not your third brother, but anyone else would be..."
"So, it’s just one piece of bad news." Long Yubei’s quiet gaze held a layer of unusual emotion, "Do you know what I’ve been thinking about these past few days?"
"I’ve been thinking that I can’t die. If I died, my woman would become someone else’s, my children would have to call someone else ’Dad’."
"Thank God you didn’t die, allowing my children to still have a father."
Long Yubei captured her lips, and Gu Lili struggled briefly, "I haven’t brushed my teeth..."
"It doesn’t matter, it’s still sweet."
His hand rested gently on her cheek, nibbling softly at her lips.
"Let’s wait a bit longer."
That ’wait a bit longer’ turned into an hour and a half.
Gu Lili finally managed to get up to wash up, only to be bossed around by him, "You help me squeeze the toothpaste."
"Did you injure your head and hurt your hand too?"
Gu Lili glared at him, took out his toothbrush, squeezed toothpaste on it, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Long Yubei brushed his teeth while laughing, looking like a simpleton.
Gu Lili didn’t know what he found so amusing.
Mealtime was even more ridiculous; he wanted her to feed him.
Gu Lili saw that his hands were perfectly fine, not a single issue, but he insisted his hands hurt.
"I’ll have Qing Li feed you then."
"I don’t want him, you feed me."
Gu Lili turned into an old nanny, unable to eat in peace, for every bite she took, she had to spoon-feed him the same.
It felt like they were exchanging saliva through their food.
The relationship between the two of them was gradually warming.
After eating, Gu Lili suggested to him, "Let’s bring the kids back? We don’t have to worry about the Three Divine Mothers causing trouble anymore, she’s dead."
"Let’s not bring them back yet, we’ll do it after a few more days." ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"Why wait a few more days? I miss the baby."
"Aren’t you right in front of me?" Gu Lili urged, "I don’t care, you bring the kids back to me."
