Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

”We also found out about Li Yan’s background by accident, and thought, he should go back and acknowledge his family. But, the situation at his home is indeed complicated; I was thinking of asking Mom about it...”

Gu Tong wiped her mouth, as if in thought, and said, ”It seems to be the Li Family...”

This was no secret, and it was something that would be revealed eventually, so there was nothing Feng Shulan couldn’t know.

Feng Shulan leisurely put down her chopsticks, gracefully lowered her hand, and said, ”The Li Family is the top aristocratic family, I know about them. I remember, an auntie of mine from a few generations back was engaged to someone from the Li Family, so there was some connection.”

Noblewomen surely are different; they seem to know everything...

”If I’m not mistaken, currently, Granny of the Li Family, Gong Qingwan, was my classmate.”

Feng Shulan had studied abroad and used to be a famous noble lady, so she recognized all these family daughters, saying, ”At that time, the previous Granny of the Li Family, Miss Bai, was also in our class. Come to think of it, it was quite a coincidence.”

Gu Qing, Gu Tong: ”...” Amazing, Mom is incredible.

Li Yan: ”...” Mother-in-law is impressive.

Mo Zishuang: ”...” Mother-in-law is strong.

”The Li Family has many rules; when you go back, you must pay full respects. Coincidentally, the Feng Family’s ancestral home is in Shoucheng. I’ll arrange for the Feng Family’s steward to pick you up and also handle the upcoming matters properly.”

If I remember correctly, the Feng Family’s ancestral home was inhabited by a collateral branch of the Fengs, distant relatives from somewhere.

Since Feng Shulan got married, the collateral branch managed part of the business in Shoucheng. They didn’t usually have much contact, but they sent gifts during holidays and festivals.

The Feng Family is a noble family by nature, well-versed in etiquette and rules, and equally distinguished. They’re not inferior to the Li Family, and Gu Tong’s arrangements can’t be any less.

For this reason, they brought it up with Feng Shulan, hoping she could make further arrangements.

”Thank you, Mom.”

Gu Tong sincerely thanked her, no matter where they were, their mother was always their safe haven. This statement was absolutely correct.

...

Night fell.

The cold wind kept blowing, and Gu Tong stood by the window in the bedroom, glancing at the calendar beside her.

Li Yan slowly approached her from behind, wrapped his arms around her shoulders, and asked in a calm voice, ”What are you thinking about?”

Gu Tong, embraced by the familiar arms, didn’t resist, but instead tilted her head and said, ”I’m thinking about how quickly time flies. It’s already the end of the month.”

The thirtieth.

In two days, they were set to embark on their mission.

Since being reborn, they’ve been on the move, never having a stable moment. But thinking carefully, they’ve always been together, which might be the only thing they can rely on.

”Yes, it’s very fast.” Li Yan gently touched her head, smiling, ”You’ve been married to me for almost half a year now.”

Time flew by, and they cherished the time they had together.

Every minute and every second, they didn’t want to lose.

Gu Tong smiled faintly, gradually turning around and diving into Li Yan’s embrace, saying, ”It’s been half a year, are you tired of me yet?” She teased him on purpose.

”Even if I am, I have to bear with it.” Li Yan teased her back.

Darn, what’s that supposed to mean...

Gu Tong raised her face in protest, pouting and puffing up her cheeks at the man.

Her ’angry’ look was like a hamster hoarding grain, extremely cute.

Li Yan couldn’t help but laugh at her expression, rubbing the top of her head, and said, ”There’s a whole lifetime ahead. If you can’t endure half a year, how could you possibly manage that!”

At first glance, this statement sounded particularly like a love confession.

But as Gu Tong savored it, she always felt something was a bit off...
