Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1013: Chapter 1012: Classified, Cannot Be Disclosed

”Something’s come up at the Royal Academy, there’s an urgent mission, Second Madam need not worry!”

These words landed heavily, Gong Qingwan’s complexion worsened...

”Something’s happened at the Royal Academy, what exactly is it...” Gong Qingwan asked cautiously, deliberately putting on an air of nonchalance, seemingly indifferent, but in reality, she was very worried.

Li Yan’s thin lips parted, saying: ”It’s a royal secret, I cannot disclose it.”

A royal secret...

What a grand excuse.

Gong Qingwan took a step back, nearly losing her balance, feeling unwell all over.

But at this moment!

Li Yan’s voice, tinged with ’concern’, echoed: ”Second Madam didn’t sleep well last night, why does she look so unwell!”

Having done harmful deeds, she still wishes to sleep peacefully; to look well would be a daydream.

Gong Qingwan’s heart was heavy, anxious and scared, feeling as if the day and night passed in perpetual unease.

Old Cheng hurriedly stepped forward, saying: ”Madam was worried about the Eldest Young Master and Young Madam, she barely slept all night.”

Aunt He chimed in: ”Exactly, she didn’t eat a single bite, starving herself thin...”

Indeed, one who has no guilty conscience fears not even a ghost knocking.

Gong Qingwan, having done guilty deeds, was naturally troubled by all sorts of phantoms.

Li Yan smiled faintly, saying: ”Losing appetite is not good, let Gu Tong look at her later, she’s a doctor, her medical skills are excellent.”

Gu Tong...

Upon hearing this name, Gong Qingwan’s face darkened further.

”Why didn’t Young Madam return with the Eldest Young Master...” Gong Qingwan gritted her teeth and asked the question.

After all, she was the mistress of the Li Family, some things could be asked without issue.

Li Yan paused slightly, responding ’thoughtfully’: ”Who knows, perhaps she went to a friend’s in Shoucheng again, she has many friends, I’m used to it.”

Li Yan spoke unusually much, but it left people baffled.

In the end, when you look into it, it’s still ’who knows’, which was practically useless.

”So that’s how it is...” Li Yan’s ambiguous attitude made Gong Qingwan’s head ache.

However, she wasn’t ready to give up, saying: ”Eldest Young Master, after a busy day, you must be hungry, have some warm food.”

Finally, someone returned, better than being completely clueless.

At least, she could keep him for dinner, gradually leading to finding out what Gong Qingwan wanted to know.

The situation has already driven Gong Qingwan mad, if not for this, she wouldn’t lower herself to invite him.

Li Yan frowned slightly, saying: ”I have matters to attend to; I won’t have dinner!”

He didn’t want to dine with Gong Qingwan and felt it unnecessary, much less when Gong Qingwan’s true intentions were obvious, solely wanting to pry.

Old Cheng, hearing this, hurriedly said: ”How can you skip a meal, the body’s the capital for revolution, the Madam cares for the Young Master, and had the small kitchen prepare lots of delicious food, the Young Master should honor her.”

If the Eldest Young Master isn’t kept here, Gong Qingwan may explode soon.

By then, the servants would surely suffer.

Thus, Old Cheng exerted all his strength, trying various ways to keep the Eldest Young Master around, just to prevent Gong Qingwan’s wrath.

However, Li Yan wasn’t someone who easily granted others their wishes!
