CHAPTER 270: CHAPTER 270: I LOVE YOU (44)

Tears continually spilled from the corner of her eyes, mingling with the rain.

At this nearly two-thousand-meter height, the speed of the fall was so fast that she would soon reach the ground.

Gu Lili braced herself for the moment her head would smash to smithereens.

She thought that such a death should be painless, the agony merely lasting a few seconds, a swift end.

But things didn’t go as she expected.

When she was caught by a powerful force, Gu Lili instinctively looked to see who it was.

Too dark to see, she could only make out the silhouette of a man with flying hair.

He didn’t land with her; instead, he flew somewhere else.

Gu Lili was utterly shocked. Who was this person that could fly?

But it was only when she was brought under a streetlight on the outskirts of Y city that she could see his face clearly.

It was the Ninth Prince.

No wonder... such divine strength.

Gu Lili’s legs gave way, and she immediately knelt before him, "Thank you, Ninth Prince, for your rescue."

He stood there, not speaking.

Hearing no voice, Gu Lili lifted her head; his eyes were cold as he looked at her, silent as he had been when they had met before.

Though he said nothing, he handed her a note.

She received it with both hands, on which two sentences were written: [It seems we are fated; this is the third time I’ve saved you. The first was when you and your husband were chased and killed at Ring River—I was the one who shot down the plane and killed those people. The second was when you went to the underworld, and without me, you definitely wouldn’t have come back. The third is now. From this moment on, your life is mine. I ask you to become my person. Would you like that?]

The rain fell on the paper, rapidly blurring the ink.

Gu Lili had always wondered who had saved her that time; she had not expected it to be him.

"I don’t know why the Ninth Prince saved me, but as Gu Lili, my life was saved by you. If not for you, I surely wouldn’t have survived. Just as you said, my life is yours. I am willing to become your person, but I only hope that if you tire of me, you will not kill me... simply grant me a way to live."

He laughed, a laugh so captivating and dazzling.

Gu Lili looked at him, dumbfounded, "Is that possible?"

He nodded lightly, then picked her up from the ground with a leap, and flew up again.

Under Gu Lili’s guidance, he brought her back to the residence on Xiliang Mountain in A city before leaving.

The light was on in Su Changzhi’s window, clearly indicating his return.

She slowly stepped into the living room, advancing step by step toward the room where Su Changzhi was residing, and knocked on his door.

"When did you come back?"

"Dusk."

The door took about a minute to open; Su Changzhi stood in his pajamas at the doorway. Seeing her state, he asked, "What happened to you?"

"It’s a long story. I’ll go take a bath and change my clothes first."

"I’ll go make you some ginger tea to ward off the cold."

"Alright."

After Gu Lili returned to her room, took a hot shower, and changed into fresh clothes, he was already sitting on her sofa with ginger tea prepared.

She sat down next to him, her eyes moistening a bit, "Thank you."

"Tell me, what happened?"

She felt an inexplicable sourness in her nose and a choke in her throat, "It’s like this..."

From the Dragon Mother inviting her on a trip to what just happened, she told him everything, "I never expected the Ninth Prince to rescue me in time, and I never imagined that he had also saved me before. He told me my life is his and asked if I was willing to become his person. Naturally, I was willing. For such repeated lifesaving grace, I am grateful. But with his status, I suppose he has no need for me, and I don’t know what he will have me do."
