Mr. CEO Wants to Renew Our Contract-Chapter 1102: With You Always (247)

"Everything went smoothly." Gu Lili couldn’t wait to share the news about the child, "Mom, I’m expecting."

Long Qian was somewhat uncertain, "You have... a child?"

Gu Lili nodded, "Yes, I have a child."

Long Qian cried tears of joy, "That’s... wonderful! Tingting, Xingxing, did you hear? You have a little brother or sister now."

"Oh my gosh." Xingxing looked stunned, "Dad is already... gone, Mom, how did you get pregnant?"

"You cheeky rascal." Long Qian tapped his head, "Obviously it happened while your dad was here..."

"It’s been two and a half months."

Tingting looked delighted, "Mom, is it a brother or sister?"

"I don’t know, but we’ll find out later."

No matter the gender, she would give birth.

"I must hurry back and tell your father this news." Long Qian said as she quickly returned to the Netherworld.

Gu Lili led the two children downstairs and removed the Barrier from Gu Xichen’s room.

"Lili, is there still no news of Ah Wun?"

Looking into his eyes, Gu Lili shook her head, "Not yet."

Gu Xichen’s face showed fatigue.

"Uncle, my mom is pregnant."

Gu Xichen was surprised, "Pregnant?"

"Yes, two and a half months."

"That’s great."

"I can say that the Five Realms are quite peaceful now, Xichen. You can come and go freely without needing me to accompany you, but as for the Gong Family..." Gu Lili recalled the people placed there, "I’ll call back the people I sent there and question them."

"Mom, can I go to the nunnery now?" Xingxing pleaded.

"Sure, let Uncle Tang take you."

"Thanks, Mom." Xingxing kissed her cheek and ran off quickly.

Tingting followed along.

After a while, a subordinate from the Bashen Sect appeared in front of Gu Lili.

"Master, we’ve already gotten results from the investigation at the Gong Family, but you were away, and we couldn’t report to you."

"What are the results?" Gu Lili asked.

"The head of the Gong Family indeed paid to hire an assassin to kill Mr. Gu, but no assassin organization would take the job, so it came to nothing."

"Got it, there’s no need to follow up on this. You may go."

"Yes."

Gu Lili looked at Gu Xichen, "I think the Gong Family still harbors ill intent but lacks a tool to use. I’ll make a phone call over there when I have a moment and issue another warning; you do what you need to do."

Gu Xichen felt somewhat assured in this aspect, "Okay, I’ll go back. If there’s any news of Ah Wun, be sure to tell me first."

"I will." Gu Lili soothed his emotions, "Actually, to me, there are only two possibilities for Ah Wun’s absence right now; either she’s completely gone from this world, or she’s still alive but unable to help herself. I hope it’s the latter; as long as she’s alive, we can find her eventually, my fear is that it’s the former."

Gu Xichen remained silent, "I will always wait for her."

...

While bathing, Gu Lili pondered the expression on Gu Xichen’s face when he said those words before leaving.

Rong Fei jumped into Nila Lake, his subordinates surrendered to the Heavenly World but still haven’t found any trace of Ah Wun.

Where exactly did Ah Wun go?

Is she truly no longer in this world?

What did she encounter after separating from Gu Xichen?

This series of mysteries made Gu Lili feel genuinely uncomfortable inside.

She dried her hair, dressed, and emerged from the bathroom, hearing Jun Xiangyi’s voice from outside the door.
