Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract
Chapter 215: Stunned

Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Stunned

"Did you run into anything?"

"The son of the Netherworld King, the Ninth Prince, from that night when the Anton Family attacked us, I told you about that, right? It was his wedding day." Gu Lili put down her cup, picked up her phone, and lay back down, "Luckily, this Ninth Prince was quite nice. His people not only helped me find out who was responsible for the fire, but they also let me go."

"Did that Ninth Prince speak to you?"

"He didn’t pay any attention to me the whole time," Gu Lili answered. "Which makes sense, considering his status. I was lucky to be let go, let alone expect to have a conversation with him. I knelt in front of him like a maid, massaging his legs for a while, fearing that if he was displeased, he’d do away with me, and I’d never wake up."

"From now on, you’re not allowed to go to the underworld anymore." Long Yubei hugged her tightly. "That place is not for the living."

"If I can avoid it, I definitely won’t go. I still want to live a good life." She dialed Ma Shijie’s number, told him the truth, hung up the phone, and then tossed it onto the bed. Looking up at Long Yubei, she said, "Oh right, hubby, that Ninth Prince was even more beautiful than a woman. I was dumbstruck."

"If you described him like that to his face, I’m sure he’d kill you."

"That’s why I’m telling you, not him. Do you think I have a death wish?" Gu Lili expressed her thoughts. "He’s not the same type as you."

"What type do you see me as?"

Gu Lili pondered, "Do you want the truth?"

"What else?" He actually looked forward to what she was about to say.

"You belong to that style of elegance and genteel masculinity, a handsome man with a manly charm. He has the kind of appearance that bewitches all. You haven’t seen him, but if you did, you’d definitely agree with me."

"I’m afraid that opportunity won’t come." Long Yubei turned off the light. "It’s almost dawn, let’s sleep a bit more."

Gu Lili snuggled into his arms and hummed in agreement.

***

The morning news announced the fire incident.

The property management company publicly apologized for their failure to provide timely rescue.

The Long Group was hardly affected by the fire. In fact, they received praise for Long Yubei’s quick arrival at the site of the incident.

Usually, for accidents like a fire, unless there was an issue with the escape routes in the building, the developers would not be implicated.

After breakfast, the couple planned to go to the company together.

Just as they reached the garage, Tang Qingli came running over from a distance. "Young Master, someone is looking for you outside."

"You don’t recognize them?"

"No, it’s a woman. She said her old phone fell into a river, and she lost your number. She claims to be your college classmate and arrived from abroad just yesterday."

"Let her in."

Long Yubei and Gu Lili sat down at a table on the lawn.

Seeing the woman coming in, Gu Lili propped up her chin and said, "Your classmate is pretty. Is she from Country S as well?"

"She’s mixed, with nationality from Country M, probably followed her mother’s, looks almost like us from Country S."

"What’s her name?"

"Shu Ya."

The approaching Shu Ya greeted them with a smile in a foreign language, "Long Yubei, long time no see."

"It has been a long time," Long Yubei said indifferently. "Are you in Country S for tourism, on a business trip, or planning to stay long term?"

"My parents are divorced, my mom moved back to Country S, and I followed her back. I’ll be settling in City A from now on, so I came to see you today to ask if I could join your company?"
