Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Li Yan spoke convincingly, adopting a stance that his wife was the most important, and if she made any mistake, it would clearly be his responsibility.

He practically held Gu Tong in the palm of his hand, fearing any slightest mishap.

”...” Gu Tong looked at him, utterly speechless, and then burst out laughing, saying, ”Do you understand psychology?”

”As a special forces trainee and officer, counter-reconnaissance courses are mandatory, including criminal psychology.”

Li Yan was the Student King, indeed he had learned a lot.

”Criminal psychology, there’s such a subject...” Gu Tong twitched her mouth, thinking they must have read different books, the content was so different...

”After marrying you, I supplemented with ’Psychology of Love,’ ’Marriage Behavior Art,’ and ’Don’t Take the Wrong Path in Love,’ etc.!”

Li Yan emphasized the word ”etc.”

Gu Tong finally broke out of her stiffness, and almost instantly she couldn’t stop laughing, truly doubled over in mirth.

The sorrowful tears faded, replaced by an overwhelming sense of regained happiness.

”Impressive, truly knowledgeable, my Devil King, hahaha...”

Gu Tong couldn’t even imagine what Devil King reading those books would look like, it was simply too beautiful a thought.

”...” Is it really that funny...

Li Yan’s mouth twitched, completely bewildered by the little woman’s mood swings from crying to laughter.

Indeed, as the saying goes, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean, truly never deceiving the honest, surely no falsehood in that.

Gu Tong’s slender arms were draped around Li Yan’s shoulders, after tossing around for a while and nearly laughing herself to exhaustion, she took a few deep breaths and asked, ”Honestly, what did you feel when you first learned you were going to marry me?”

This was a question she never asked before and had no idea what Li Yan actually thought. Until now, she was genuinely curious.

”It was meant to be!”

With those four words spoken, aside from seriousness, there was no other emotion in Li Yan’s eyes.

Previously, he had mentioned in front of a crowd that the first time he saw Gu Tong was outside Gu Wangjue’s house, and it was love at first sight from which he couldn’t extricate himself.

However, the actual situation goes even further back, probably to his childhood. When Gu Wangjue first came to see him, he brought a picture of a little girl and said, ”This is your future wife, my sweet treasure. You have to treat her well, understand?”

At that time, Li Yan was still young and didn’t know what that meant, but he nodded, agreeing more or less. Every year thereafter, he would receive photos of the girl and hear about her interesting stories.

Of course, those all came from his nominal father-in-law, Gu Wangjue.

They were destined to be together, their fate already determined long ago. Although Li Yan wasn’t good at expressing himself, it didn’t mean he didn’t love her.

”You’re so sure that I’m yours.” Gu Tong pouted, obviously dissatisfied with this answer, feeling that Li Yan was being too perfunctory.

”Then who else would you want to be?” Li Yan’s cool fingers lifted the little woman’s chin, with a pressing attitude, wanting the little woman to answer this critical question.

Gu Tong swallowed, but wasn’t foolish enough to debate such a matter with Li Yan. Instead, she cleverly evaded, saying, ”I’m your future son’s!”

This was just the perfect answer, countering Li Yan without appearing overly cowardly...

Of course, she’s not quite sure if she’s being cowardly at this point; hopefully, she didn’t lose her imposing momentum...
