Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

She wasn’t looking to settle scores with the other person, but there were some things that she really cared about.

Yuan Jianlan scratched the back of her head and said, ”It’s just earlier, the little girls in the arts class were gossiping, I overheard them... and so...”

If she hadn’t blindly listened to rumors, such things wouldn’t have happened. Ultimately, it was her inability to distinguish right from wrong, and she blushed with embarrassment.

However, when these words reached Gu Tong’s ears, it was a completely different story!

Her expression slightly changed, but there was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her lips. She didn’t expect Qiu Xue to make a move so quickly; she really couldn’t hold back anymore. It must have been because she was provoked by her and Li Yan’s affair!

Back then, her notorious reputation partly had Qiu Xue’s influence. She didn’t expect that in this life, Qiu Xue would still use the same old tricks.

Gu Tong had suffered a loss before and learned a lesson. If she let her get away with it again, she’d be blind. There’s still a long way to go, she doesn’t care about Qiu Xue’s little tricks, they’ll see who has the last laugh!

...

The endless day and night training blurred the distinction between night and day. During the day, Gu Tong completed fixed training courses, and at night, she sparred with Yuan Jianlan.

Although Gu Tong had not fully recovered, her physical fitness had improved by leaps and bounds, which was progress in itself.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye, and they finally greeted the field training exercise.

All trainees packed up their backpacks, with army shoes inserted vertically at the back of their bags, military satchels and equipment were neatly shouldered, a white towel tied around their necks, and branches woven for camouflage on the top of their ceremonial hats, as if they were really going off to war.

”Prepare to set off!”

Lan Siming stood at the forefront and already issued commands. The field training exercises varied, mainly aimed at improving the Royal Academy’s combat awareness and training the trainees’ physical constitution.

The training content was extremely harsh. Trainees had heard some rumors beforehand that they would first have to march with heavy loads, covering at least fifty miles a day, and then start the official Royal drills, which counted as extreme training.

Gu Tong was in the middle of the Royal Academy team but showed no sign of lagging behind, demonstrating the results of her recent training.

Lan Siming kept watching from the side, nodding with satisfaction. This girl has been working hard indeed; she is truly talented. If conditions allowed, he would like to keep her in the regiment for proper training.

”Gu Tong, are you okay?” Yuan Jianlan ran alongside Gu Tong. Even though these days, they had been sparring, and she understood the extent of Gu Tong’s physical changes, she was still a bit worried.

After all, the results of all the projects in this field training exercise would affect whether they could stay or not. If the results were not up to standard, they could leave the Royal Academy at any time.

”There are leaders inspecting ahead. After we pass a kilometer, I’ll go to the back of the team to rest.” Gu Tong pointed to the leaders on the hillside and said unhurriedly.

”...” What the heck... why does this sound a bit off...

Yuan Jianlan internally started to rant vigorously, truly worthy of being the daughter of the Prince; even cheating, she would choose the best timing.

However, it’s true that in such large-scale field training, there would usually be leader inspections, and their performance would be recorded, so they needed to be a bit careful.

...

”Wow, that girl is actually obediently running, old Gu, not bad.” Qiu ZhenDa put down the binoculars with a hearty laugh and said, ”I remember Gu Tong being a wild little monkey, but it seems she also has her obedient moments.”

Gu Tiancheng snatched the binoculars with a bit of annoyance, took a glance, and said, ”You don’t know my unruly mule. It’s probably all an act. Wait till there’s no one around, and she won’t be so obedient.”

Indeed, old Gu really understood Gu Tong’s tactics and even directly voiced her thoughts.

”Haha, don’t be so rigid. Maybe Gu Tong’s personality changed. Besides, she’s married now, her mindset must have matured a lot.”
