Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 818: Chapter 817: My Heart Belongs Only to Miss Gu

Just like the moment Li Yan came back earlier, even though the little woman didn’t speak, she had already shown all her intentions through her actions.

Gu Tong flashed a dazzling grin with her little tiger teeth and said with a mischievous smile, ”With the Devil King himself acting alongside me, the effect must be amazing.”

Li Yan glanced at her and said, ”Who is she? Why go to so much trouble?”

”She’s Mama He’s goddaughter, just an ordinary servant of the Li Family.”

The family relations are intricate, and even an ordinary servant might have some unusual connection with someone in the family.

Gu Tong wrapped her slender hand around Li Yan’s arm and said, ”Just now, when I came back, she was inciting a few servants at the staircase, yelling about you fancying Miss Chu, trying to make me angry. I couldn’t stand it, so I made her prepare over ten hometown dishes. Maybe she feels she has an extraordinary status, so she deliberately said those things, wanting you to stick up for her, saying I was being tyrannical.”

Li Yan widened his eyes and said, ”What Miss Chu, or Miss Eight, in my heart, there’s only Miss Gu!”

”Haha, that’s a good line, I’m really seeing you in a new light, even saying things like that.”

”Straight from the heart.” Li Yan’s attitude was extremely sincere.

Gu Tong felt as if she saw his pure soul, and she couldn’t be happier, smiling externally and feeling sweet inside.

The servants in the family, those with a bit of backing, all regard themselves highly.

Maybe it’s because they’ve stayed in a big family for too long, seen too much, and haven’t learned anything else but a lot about climbing the social ladder. They always think that they can rise in rank based on their looks alone.

Li Yan is handsome, so it’s inevitable that these young girls have unbefitting thoughts, which is only natural.

”Why should I stick up for her?”

Li Yan was completely perplexed, not understanding the servant’s mindset at all.

Gu Tong snickered and sat on Li Yan’s lap again, hooking her hands around his neck, and said, ”Because she thinks she’s beautiful, and the Devil King is the eldest young master of the Li Family, surely he will be sympathetic to delicate beauties.”

Strife among women at the family residence!

Li Yan also thought what Gu Tong said made sense.

However, it was precisely this matter that he simply couldn’t understand at all.

”Far from it!”

The three concise words made it hard to understand their meaning clearly.

To understand them, you need to savor them carefully!

However, having spent a long time with her own Devil King, Gu Tong didn’t need to think at all to know that he meant the servant was far inferior compared to her.

No wonder it’s the Devil King, even complimenting someone requires such mental gymnastics.

Without their mutual understanding, she really wouldn’t grasp the meaning of his words.

”Inferior in what way?” Gu Tong mischievously insisted on having the Devil King praise her, leaning close to his ear, with the stance that if he didn’t say it well, she wouldn’t get off him.

”Face!”

”...”

Damn! Is it only about the face...

What about her sharp wit! Her flawless acting skills! And her formidable medical skills! Do they count for nothing?

Seriously...

Turns out, you’re such a King Yan.

Gu Tong was mentally ranting like crazy.

”Is that it?”

She barely restrained the urge to swallow the Devil King whole while asking again.

”That’s it.”

Li Yan answered without thinking.

”...”

This world that only values appearances...

Gu Tong was on the verge of tears without being able to cry.

”And me!”

Li Yan remembered something and added a sentence, then lowered his head, naturally resting his chin on the little woman’s shoulder.

And me???

What the heck...

Gu Tong blinked and tentatively said, ”You mean, because I have you, she can’t compare?”

”Mm.” Li Yan acknowledged with a sound, which counted as an admission.

Damn...

Gu Tong held her head, secretly thinking, her own Devil King is so reserved...

Even a love declaration requires such mental gymnastics, forcing someone to guess, otherwise, he would never speak his true thoughts.

But no, that phrase ’in my heart there’s only Miss Gu’ just now, wasn’t that said very well? That was just his true feelings brought out by being angered by the servant’s nonsense, right?
