Gu Xichen paused, then continued, "With a man like Long Yubei, he can play games, but if you really play with him, you're bound to lose because he holds the power. He has the right to end the game between you at any time. Don't think that marrying you means he's serious. Giving you a ceremony is just changing the form, the nature remains the same. If he wants to end it, a divorce agreement is all it takes. See, it's that simple. He might fall in love with you sooner or later, but it's also possible that the game could end before he ever does."
Gu Lili was silent; for a moment, there was no sound on the other end of the phone.
Sensing that she might be feeling choked up inside, Gu Xichen said, "It's not like you're out of options. Don't worry. If you divorce him, I can marry you right afterwards."
"Who's worried about that?!" she immediately replied. "I'm not, at all. I'm hanging up now; I need to sleep."
Before Gu Xichen could react, the call was already disconnected.
