Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 156: 156: But... you were taking a shower just now...

”It seems to be called Kun, that’s what Misya called him.”

Misya, Kun, these two names felt very familiar to Gu Tong. The first time she heard them, she had this feeling, but she couldn’t remember where exactly she’d heard them before. Plus, she was too busy trying to save someone at the time to think about it.

However, her man’s reaction was much bigger than that, as if they were two very important figures!

”What’s up? Do you know them?” Gu Tong asked, a bit suspicious. Theoretically, it shouldn’t be like this.

Besides, Misya clearly wasn’t from Longxing Country, so how could they know each other?

”It’s nothing!”

Li Yan pondered for a moment and finally spoke those two words.

All his thoughts also concluded at the moment those two words were spoken.

He focused on his woman for a while, speaking slowly and deliberately, ”If you encounter any situations next time, you have to call me along! After all, this is a place where you’re unfamiliar with the people and the land, and it’s likely that issues and problems could arise.”

”But... you were taking a bath just now...”

Gu Tong wanted to drag Li Yan out with her, but she couldn’t just pull him out of the bathroom.

”No matter what I’m doing! You have to do it like this. You must remember!”

His little woman really lacked self-protection awareness, and Li Yan felt this needed a bit of strengthening.

”Alright...” Li Yan’s expression was so serious that Gu Tong didn’t stand a chance to resist, so under such pressure, she could only sheepishly give in. Her behavior was summed up in one word: timid!

”Let’s go back!” The good mood was gradually ruined, and Li Yan returned to his earlier thoughts, with many questions still unanswered, needing time to gradually settle his mind.

Gu Tong pouted as she looked at her man, but having just made a mistake, she could only silently defy him a bit.

This silent defiance could only be hidden in her heart, without being discovered, leaving Gu Tong feeling utterly helpless.

...

Time passed quickly, and although the fuss hadn’t lasted long, it was already afternoon.

The afternoon meal Li Yan had ordered earlier was delivered to their room in advance.

Steak, salad, fried snacks, and strawberry cake were neatly arranged on the table.

The enticing colors and aromas were incredibly tempting.

Gu Tong was almost drooling; she picked up the knife and fork, sat on a chair waiting for Li Yan, and urged, ”Honey, come quickly to eat the delicious food.”

Li Yan had just dried his hair and changed into a clean T-shirt, feeling much more comfortable. He slowly pulled out a chair, sat down calmly, and said, ”I’m not very hungry yet.”

”...” You were the one who said you were hungry earlier, and now you’re saying you’re not hungry. Earl, what exactly are you trying to do...

However, Earl Li clearly wasn’t aware of himself, having completely forgotten what he had said earlier. ”Eat!” he said.

Having said that, he awkwardly picked up the knife and fork, not being very skilled at using Western cutlery.

In contrast, Gu Tong calmly picked up the knife and fork, skillfully slicing the steak into small, easy-to-eat pieces.

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, his deep voice carrying a hint of inquiry, ”Do you like eating Western food very much?”

He remembered that the first time Gu Tong cooked for him, it was Western food mixed with Chinese cuisine. Now seeing her adept skills at cutting steak, it was clear she ate Western food often.

However, back in ’91, Western cuisine wasn’t prevalent, not even around the Academy Courtyard. So, where did she learn the skills?
