CHAPTER 673: CHAPTER 673: DEEPLY ROOTED AFFECTION (118)

"No, I want to go home to sleep; I’m a bit tired."

He reiterated, "Come sleep in my office."

Seeing his firm tone, Gu Lili had no choice but to get out of the car.

Upon arriving at his office, Long Yubei turned on the heating, and the room quickly warmed up.

He lifted her onto the desk, looked straight at her, and asked, "You still love me, right?"

Gu Lili could tell that he was afraid of her eyes landing on another man.

"Do you really have no idea whether I love you or not?"

"I think you’ve always loved me."

"Then why ask?" Gu Lili pushed him away, got down from the desk, "Getting jealous for no reason, not caring whether I catch anyone else’s eye, imagining things."

Long Yubei reached out to hug her from behind, "In my eyes, you are the best. If anyone takes an extra glance at you, I feel like they’re interested in you."

"Do you have delusions?" She turned around and poked at the center of his forehead, "I really should take you to the hospital for a check-up."

"I’m just afraid of losing you."

"Right now, there’s nothing to lose," Gu Lili said with a smile, looking at him, "You can’t possibly think that just because we share a child and we eat and sleep together, I belong to you. I am my own person, not anyone else’s. I have no intentions of remarrying you now, nor do I want to in the future. I’m laying it out here. It’s good as long as you understand."

"If you don’t want to remarry me for the rest of your life, it doesn’t matter, as long as you’re always by my side."

"No one knows what the future holds." She didn’t know what her future self would be like or think.

"I don’t care, even in death, I want to die with you."

Gu Lili sat on the sofa, took off her shoes, and leaned back at ease, feeling a bit sleepy, "Make me a coffee."

Long Yubei obediently went to grind coffee himself, without needing to trouble his secretary.

***

After several days of intense voting for the President of Country S.

The results were finally announced at the beginning of December.

Prince Yin Qi from the Royal Yin Family was elected as the new President.

This was unexpected for many people at home and abroad who were following this event.

Everyone thought it would be Crown Prince Yin Yunjing.

Unexpectedly, it was the inconspicuous Yin Qi who seized the power.

Indeed, the less conspicuous, the more precise the move.

At 49 years old, Yin Qi has always been overshadowed by his older brother from a young age.

He has a son and a daughter.

The daughter is the Boss, the son is the youngest.

Today was destined to be a day filled with news coverage of Country S changing its leader.

Gu Lili and Long Yubei also tuned in to the live news broadcast tonight.

During the handing-over ceremony, their family of four all attended.

Yin Qi’s wife and children, who have always kept a low profile, were officially exposed to the public eye.

When the new First Lady Yu Wen appeared on screen, Long Yubei glanced at Gu Lili beside him, "Her eyes and nose look a lot like yours."

Gu Lili stared at the large TV screen; she noticed it too, didn’t need Long Yubei to tell her, "They do look similar."

Just then, Antonio’s call came through, and she snuggled into the sofa to answer, "Yeah, what’s up?"

"Lili, did you notice? The new First Lady’s eyes and nose are exactly like yours!"

"There are many people who look alike, nothing to fuss over."

"Did you also notice that the face and mouth of your country’s new President look exactly like yours... They couldn’t possibly be your biological parents, could they?!" Antonio speculated, "It’s being discussed all over the internet, the more I look, the more they resemble."
