CHAPTER 286: CHAPTER 286: I LOVE YOU (60)

Ever since he returned from the United States, every day has been an agonizing ordeal for him, and arranged dates have done nothing to soothe the burning and discomfort in his heart.

Now, he could finally give himself a thorough explanation.

He would not hold on to a heartless and ruthless woman.

***

When Gu Lili woke up, she was shocked to find herself lying in a man’s arms.

The man was none other than the Ninth Prince.

She was actually resting on one of his arms, while his other arm was draped over her waist.

Her mind kept replaying the various things she had said when she came to the underworld, frightening her to the point where she didn’t dare to move.

Gu Lili shifted her head outward a bit and looked up to see his entire face in slumber.

He was beautiful but his aura wasn’t effeminate; he just seemed to possess less of the masculine vigor common to other men.

But it had to be said, him just looking at you without speaking was enough to scare someone half to death.

He seemed more peaceful when asleep.

As she continued watching him, he woke up.

Their eyes met, and Gu Lili swallowed nervously, timidly saying, "I’m sorry, I got drunk and said some outrageous things..."

He suddenly pulled her closer, and in an instant, Gu Lili’s face was pressed against his chest, her body stiffening even more.

She could feel his chin resting on the top of her head.

No matter how much Gu Lili thought about it, she couldn’t figure out what she had to do with him, so why would he say he wanted a divorce because he didn’t want to aggrieve her...

Could it be that the leg massage she gave him had sparked love at first sight?

Thinking this on a regular day would inevitably seem like a bit of narcissism.

Now, aside from this, she couldn’t think of any other explanation.

Gu Lili felt her head was muddled, like a bag of paste.

He finally let her go after a while and wrote her a note: [I’ll have Xiao Hei send you away. Don’t come back to the underworld unless absolutely necessary.]

Gu Lili looked at his icy eyes and nodded her head.

After Xiao Hei escorted her away and returned, he reported, "The Princess wishes to see you."

"Hmm, let her wait outside, I have something to say to her as well."

"Your Highness, you don’t mean to talk about divorce..." Xiao Hei said worriedly, "The Netherworld King will rage if he finds out. Does this mortal woman have such Magic Power that you would treat her this way? Besides, a woman who has been married before isn’t clean and is no match for you..."

The Ninth Prince gave him a glance, "Too much talk."

Xiao Hei quickly replied, "I hope Your Highness will think thrice before acting."

The Ninth Prince ignored him and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Hei hurried after him, and upon reaching the living room, he saw the couple standing opposite each other. Xiao Hei silently took his place to one side.

"What... what did you say?" The Ninth Princess Consort, Ji Ling, looked at him in shock.

"Divorce, I will report this matter to father, and it’s not your fault."

"We just got married, and now you want a divorce..."

"I was forced into this marriage, it was a helpless act, and now I no longer want to just make do with you."

Ji Ling asked, "Is there another woman?"

Instead of answering, he asked, "I am now going to see father, are you coming with me?"

"Let’s go; I want to see how father will punish you!" Ji Ling huffed and left ahead of him.

The Ninth Prince followed closely behind.

When they arrived at Yama Hall, the Ninth Prince’s third brother, fourth brother, and Eleventh Brother were all there.

Hearing that he wanted a divorce, the Eleventh Prince was dumbfounded and asked in a low voice, "Brother Nine, have you gone mad?"
