Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1275: This Time, the Little Woman Not Only Completed the Mission

Gu Tong: ”...” Two days, you really dare to say, this task, no matter how you look at it, should take five or six days to complete. Managing to handle it in three days would already be lucky.

Wait, three days...

Gu Tong swallowed saliva, she glanced at the phone in her palm, it seemed she told Li Yan she’d return in three days...

Damn it, bad luck, she kept talking about Xia Xi and somehow forgot about her own situation.

’Ring ring ring--’

Perhaps it’s a heart connection, or a special sense.

Right when Gu Tong lowered her eyes to look at the phone, it mysteriously rang, vibrating in her palm, displaying the unmistakable name ’Hubby’!

Gu Tong: ”...” Is it impossible to even think about it? Even thinking about it is a sin, thinking must bring it into reality...

How come this call arrives at this moment...

Gu Tong wanted to cry but had no tears.

Xia Xi, who was originally wailing, stopped fussing. She glanced at Gu Tong’s phone, with an air of triumph, entirely a look of ’you should answer the call first’.

Gu Tong glared at her, if conditions allowed, she would definitely smack this girl right now.

However, clearly now is not the time for slapping, because Gu Tong still has to answer the call.

Gu Tong pressed the green button and said, ”Hello.”

Her heart contained a sense of unease, or maybe it was an uncontrollable emotion. Even though her mind was chaotic, she couldn’t resist at all.

Li Yan’s deep voice transmitted through the phone and said, ”Are you returning from the highway or the train station?”

The train station is closer to Li’s Company, he could leave later. If it’s the highway, he’d have to drive there now.

Gu Tong: ”...” Although hearing her husband’s voice brought her joy, she couldn’t answer his question at all...

Gu Tong’s body involuntarily leaned forward, she picked up the map in front of her, her mouth twitched twice, no matter how you calculate the time, a one-way trip takes two days. Unless she grows wings to fly back, there’s no way she could return to Shoucheng...

”Well... I encountered some trouble on the way, so it might be delayed for two days...”

Gu Tong chose to speak honestly, there was really no other option. If she had any choice, she would definitely rush back to Li Yan’s side at the first moment.

After all, they haven’t seen each other for three days, she missed him...

Li Yan pursed his lips, but he had already anticipated this outcome, Shoucheng is very far from City C, a one-way trip takes two days and a night. Even with a swift completion of tasks, it would require several days.

For Gu Tong to complete the task in such a short time was already beyond Li Yan’s expectations.

Yet, even so, he still felt anxious and said, ”Was the task smooth?”

Rarely did the Devil King not hold onto the return time, subconsciously changing the topic to discuss something he deemed particularly important.

Gu Tong paused slightly and said, ”It went quite smoothly. We broke into the Ancient Tomb and completed the task... By the way, I also found one of the twenty-one Buddha statues in the ’Artifact Retrieval’ mission. I’m not sure if it’s a counterfeit, it needs to be taken back for appraisal...”

One of the Buddha statues from the ’Artifact Retrieval’ mission!

Li Yan had a hint of amazement in his deep eyes, this time the little woman not only completed the task, but did it excellently. As a leader, he couldn’t find any words to criticize her.

However...

Even so, Li Yan’s chest still felt incredibly stifled!
