Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 54: 054:

Qiu Xue’s almond-shaped eyes widened, she had lowered herself for whom... Li Yan knew perfectly well, but he still said this... how is it any different from stabbing her in the chest...

"Brother Li... I didn’t mean anything else, please don’t misunderstand... I got your clothes dirty, I should compensate you... I didn’t think that far..."

Li Yan’s change was sudden and without warning, if it weren’t for Gu Tong’s meddling, Qiu Xue would never have believed it!

Yet... even so, she must hold her ground and absolutely not give in because of this.

"You and I are decent people, but after all, there are differences between men and women, seen from others’ eyes, there’s no way to explain." Li Yan’s deep pupils flickered with persistence, recalling Gu Tong’s words, he found them very reasonable.

He was already a married man, how could he have rumors with another woman, it was unfair to Gu Tong.

Qiu Xue took a step back, tears welled up in her eyes, she clutched the basin in her hands tightly, and said, "I understand..."

Li Yan was eager to draw a line with her, all the plans she had carefully laid out in the past were in vain.

It was all Gu Tong’s fault!

She hated it so much!

Why!

They were both daughters of the Prince, how was she worse than Gu Tong...

"I’ve washed the clothes... do with them as you wish..." This was perhaps Qiu Xue’s last shred of dignity, even if Li Yan threw the clothes away, she maintained her fortress.

"Mm."

The brief and emotionless voice fell, becoming the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

Qiu Xue had been pampered all her life, how could she suffer such grievance, tears finally broke free from her restraint...

But she didn’t sob aloud, instead she turned and ran towards the stairs, she could not cry... couldn’t let others’ plot succeed...

She still had a chance...

Still...

...

Li Yan glanced at the basin on the ground, but did not intend to bend down to pick it up, he turned and shut the door, his brows knitted, finally understanding Gu Tong’s worries, this was definitely not overanxious.

He had the instinct of a beast!

Qiu Xue’s reaction just now was too abnormal, already alerting Li Yan.

Of course, he didn’t have the mind to think deeply about these, having said so much to Qiu Xue, hopefully Gu Tong wouldn’t misunderstand.

Li Yan looked at the little woman on the bed, his pupils slightly contracted, at this moment Gu Tong was curled up in his quilt like a little cat who had stolen cream, her eyebrows filled with pride.

It seemed okay, Li Yan felt relieved.

However, there were some things he still needed to talk about with Gu Tong, Li Yan sat down by the bed, yet felt his waist being hugged, a gentle voice sounded in his ear, "Husband, you’re so good..."

She never thought he would be so good, directly rejecting without leaving any room, not giving Qiu Xue any face, she always knew Li Yan was ruthless, but didn’t expect him to be so ruthless, ruthless to the point of being adorable, ruthless to make her unable to let go.

"Satisfied?" Li Yan curled his lips, with a voice filled with temptation, said, "Push-ups are indeed a good kind of ’exercise’!"

"Uh..." Gu Tong coughed dryly, she never intended to hide it from Li Yan, such a low tactic was certainly going to be exposed, said, "Moderate exercise is beneficial to physical and mental health..."

"Is that so?" Li Yan elongated his tone, carelessly turned his head, leaned down to Gu Tong’s ear and whispered, "There’re many more exercises beneficial to body and mind, want to try?"
