Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Gu Tong was very close, and Li Yan instinctively took a step back, his brows furrowing instantly. Has this woman lost her mind?

”We haven’t seen each other in seven days. Didn’t you miss me?” Gu Tong said playfully.

”Hmm?” Li Yan responded somewhat stiffly, but it seemed more like a question.

Their marriage was orchestrated by Gu Tong’s father, and their only interaction before marriage didn’t last more than twenty minutes, let alone harboring any feelings of longing.

”We’re newlyweds after all, shouldn’t you at least show some courtesy and pretend to miss me?”

This woman must have a fever!

Wasn’t she the one who strongly opposed this marriage...

Li Yan hadn’t forgotten that on the first day of their marriage, Gu Tong proposed a secret marriage arrangement, saying, ”Since we don’t like this marriage, let’s not make it public to avoid trouble.”

”What do you mean?”

In her past life, Gu Tong was a stubborn tsundere who didn’t know how to express her feelings. Her coldness was her best shield.

She frequently ended up inadvertently hurting others.

”Guess what I mean.”

Gu Tong stood on her tiptoes, her face very close to Li Yan’s.

How was he supposed to know that?

”Do you like me?”

Gu Tong truly wasn’t going to relent until she got the answer she wanted.

”I don’t dislike you.”

”That’s good.” Gu Tong licked her lips and said, ”I’ve thought it over. We’re going to spend a lifetime together as a couple, so... I want to get used to each other and develop some feelings. Are you willing?”

Li Yan’s expression was complicated, and he hesitated for a moment, ”How do we get used to each other?”

Gu Tong’s sudden change was so dramatic that he was caught off guard.

”Couples are supposed to be very close; the way we are now is too distant...”

Suddenly...

Gu Tong leaped up, clinging to Li Yan like a monkey. She leaned her head on his shoulder, ”This is how a normal couple should interact~”

The sudden embrace from this woman...

It felt like a cat’s claw lightly scratching his heart...

Li Yan’s face instantly turned red.

This was 1991, and people weren’t that open...

”Get down!”

Get down?

She had taken such effort to jump up, how could she just come down that easily?

”Get down right now!”

He thought this woman had changed her ways, but she was still the same...

If he still didn’t realize Gu Tong was doing this on purpose, he would be wasting his life.

”Alright, alright, I’ll get down...” Gu Tong said, sounding pitiful.

But how was she supposed to get down from that height?

With that in mind, she started to climb down like an octopus.

Li Yan almost spat out blood from frustration, feeling a strong urge to push this woman off him.

He gritted his teeth, held Gu Tong tightly, and then placed her on the ground. ”Next time, just jump down! Don’t move recklessly!”

”I’m afraid of falling.” Gu Tong argued back.

”And you weren’t afraid when you jumped up?”

”You caught me.” It seemed to make some sense...

”You seem pretty agile!” Clearly, a poor excuse.

”It’s easier to go up the mountain than to come down,” Gu Tong retorted cleverly.

Indeed...

One shouldn’t argue with this woman... nor easily agree to any of her requests...

”Maybe I was too sudden, and I should have given you an adjustment period.” Gu Tong took advantage of the situation and said probing, ”Or... are you mad?”

”No!” Who would believe that...

Gu Tong pouted and compromised, ”Alright, enough, next time I won’t move, I’ll wait for you to pick me up, okay?”

Alright!

No, it felt strange...

Alright, my ass!

There won’t be a next time...
