Chapter 22: Chapter 22: I Will Try Hard to Love You

Shen Congmo gazed at her face and said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what you’re saying?"

"I know." As the words fell, she took the initiative to kiss his lips.

Shen Congmo’s eyes tightened repeatedly, and one hand brushed away the hair by her face.

Since breaking up, they had not contacted each other privately, and their meetings were few and far between.

Yet neither had started a new relationship, which seemed to be a tacit agreement between them.

Both of their hearts were trembling quietly.

At this moment, no one thought about anything else—the past, the future, it all momentarily paused.

Long Yubei and Gu Lili drove back to the city from Xiliang Mountain.

As soon as they arrived at Qin Garden, they heard Tang Qingli’s report, "Young Master, someone has been looking for you in the past few days, claiming to be an old acquaintance of yours, wanting to meet you, but didn’t have your phone number."

"Did they leave a name?"

"They only said their surname was He, mentioning she had just returned from abroad a few months ago."

Long Yubei’s expression changed immediately, "A woman?"

"Yes, she was wearing a mask and sunglasses, really hard to tell what she looks like."

"I see."

Gu Lili’s hand unconsciously slid out of his palm, chuckling abruptly, "Ah, a foreign beauty has come knocking, obviously a romantic debt, could it be your ex-girlfriend who left without a word?"

Long Yubei took her hand back into his palm, "Even if it is, I am already married, so what?"

Gu Lili again shook off his hand, jumped onto Long Yubei’s back, and he instinctively held her.

"Honey, carry me."

Under Tang Qingli’s stunned gaze, Long Yubei carried her as they gradually walked away.

How come, it feels like in no time, their relationship has progressed by leaps and bounds?

What exactly happened during their honeymoon week?

...

Back in the living room, the two sat close together, Chang Tai brought over two cups of coffee.

Gu Lili handed him one cup, and took the other herself.

"Is your ex-girlfriend really surnamed He?"

"Uh-huh."

"If she really came to reconcile, how would you deal with it?"

He took a sip, slowly asking, "No need for any solution, breaking up means it’s over."

Gu Lili felt somewhat relieved in her heart, despite being married now, she was aware that they had no emotional foundation.

If she had to describe the foundation created during this time, she could only say, a remarkably harmonious sex life.

Emotionally, they couldn’t possibly establish a deep connection in such a short time.

Even if it was love at first sight, it still required time to constantly add weight.

The key was, he wasn’t captivated by her at first sight, but rather from the start.

What he wanted, from beginning to end, was just her body, not her whole person.

Therefore, Gu Lili firmly decided, to maintain the length of the marriage, the couple must be united.

She now had a goal, "I will make you fall in love with me."

"I actually have fallen in love with you now." He stressed the word ’fallen’.

She knew very well that they were not talking about the same thing.

"I’m talking about something else."

"You want me to fall in love with you spiritually? That won’t be easy." He was smiling, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Gu Lili looked into his eyes, "You are my husband. Being with you for the long term is my goal, and the best status naturally would be both loving each other. I will try hard to make you love me, and at the same time, I will try to love you too."
