Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1420: Chapter 1419: I Am Li Yan, Gu Tong Is Asleep

Our own Devil King, this is just his roundabout way of saying: you still have me.

Gu Tong couldn’t help but smile faintly. She didn’t know when it started, but this man who used to be like an iceberg had actually changed a lot—he was getting more and more good at flirting.

Her mood gradually lifted, no more clouds hanging over her. She said, ”It’s really nice to have you in this life. It’s really nice that I can be a trainee!”

Her words were all over the place; at first listen, it was hard to make sense of them.

Yet, without knowing it.

What Gu Tong said was actually a summary of her two lifetimes.

In her previous life, she had been too impulsive. If she had joined the army too, if she had used other means to avenge Li Yan, that tragedy in her past life might never have happened.

In the end, she lost her reason and sank deeper and deeper...

If you walk toward the darkness, all you’ll get is darkness; if you walk toward the light, that’s where the future is.

Li Yan rubbed her head and said, ”Go home?”

The little woman was tired too; she really should take a proper rest. If things kept going on like this, Li Yan was afraid her body wouldn’t be able to take it.

Gu Tong lowered her head slightly, enjoying it as she said, ”Home.”

She really should go back and rest. These past few days, Gu Tong had basically been running nonstop, barely any time to breathe. Right now she especially wanted to go back, lie down properly, and have a solid, peaceful sleep.

Li Yan wrapped an arm around her and said, ”Let’s go.”

...

Night fell, and the couple gradually disappeared down the corridor of Safe Hospital. A tiring day was about to end; tomorrow would be a new beginning.

Li Yan was driving the SUV along the road. There was a red light ahead, so he stopped the car and glanced at Gu Tong in the passenger seat.

By this time, Gu Tong had already leaned against the seat and fallen asleep. She really was a bit exhausted, and more than anything, emotionally drained.

Afraid she’d catch cold, Li Yan took off his own jacket and draped it over her.

He conveniently reached back for a throw pillow and tucked it under her head so she could sleep more comfortably.

Once he’d done all that, the light turned green and he started driving again, only this time he slowed his speed, trying not to bump around too much so Gu Tong could sleep better.

”Ring ring ring—”

A phone rang from the pocket of Gu Tong’s jacket, accompanied by a faint vibration.

Gu Tong furrowed her brows but showed no intention of waking up. The phone was too noisy; it annoyed her. She simply pulled the phone out and, without a word, tossed it toward the driver’s seat, then went right back to sleep.

Li Yan caught the phone with one hand and was speechless: ”...”

The screen was still flashing, showing Xia Xi’s name.

So it was Xia Xi calling again.

Without realizing it, Li Yan had already accepted the fact that she and Gu Tong were close.

Li Yan picked up the call and said, ”Hello.”

...

”Hello...”

The man’s voice echoed in the empty room.

Holding the phone, Xia Xi awkwardly moved it away a bit, checking whether she’d dialed the wrong number.

By the windowsill, Gong Chenli was watching. He lazily lifted his eyelids, the dark pupils hiding endless danger.

Damn...

The Demon King’s death glare...

Xia Xi coughed and said, ”I’m Xia Xi. I’m looking for Gu Tong.”

Gu Tong?

Hearing that name, Gong Chenli unconsciously reined in his aura. He raised his hand, picked up his coffee, and took a sip.

If there was a man who could pick up Gu Tong’s calls, it was probably only Li Yan.

...

Li Yan said evenly, ”This is Li Yan. Gu Tong’s asleep. Do you need something?”

”...” Of course I need something, who calls for no reason...

However, this particular ”something” absolutely could not be told to you.
