Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

This moment, this second.

Countless words can’t describe the feelings in Li Yan’s heart.

The sense of torment, heartache, guilt, trembling deeply inside him.

”Why didn’t you tell me sooner...” Clearly, she was right in front of him, clearly, they were just a step away.

But when trouble arose, she actually chose silence, bearing it alone.

If it wasn’t that he seemed untrustworthy, what other reason could there be...

Li Yan thought carefully, their relationship was indeed troubled at first, just overcoming a cold, difficult phase, and at that time, Gu Tong truly couldn’t trust him...

However, so much time has passed, and Wenjing still hasn’t stopped her hateful behavior, yet Gu Tong still chose silence, which is a very puzzling thing.

”I can’t...”

If not for meeting the old lady today and learning they weren’t biologically mother and son, Gu Tong still wouldn’t have spoken out. She didn’t want Li Yan to lose his complete family because of her, even though that mother disliked her and made things difficult for her in every way, she could endure it.

Because the identity of a biological mother cannot be changed, she just wanted to use her own actions to slowly influence her mother-in-law...

Gu Tong couldn’t selfishly make Li Yan sad, upset, she couldn’t do it!

Gu Tong embraced Li Yan tightly, burying her head on his shoulder, clutching his clothes for fear he might leave, she said, ”Li Yan, you know, a long time ago, I once had a dream...”

”What dream?”

Li Yan held the little woman in his arms, so he could keenly sense her emotional changes, every detail made him feel unbearably oppressed.

”I dreamt that we got married, but the relationship wasn’t good, we didn’t live together, we were separated, living our own lives. Occasionally, dad arranged for us to meet, but it was always perfunctory. Such a marriage lasted for years, until one day dad, using his poor health and need for care as an excuse, deceived us back to the ancestral home, that’s when we began living together.”

”Our relationship was bland as water, without waves, without ups and downs. Everything we did was to fulfill the obligations of marriage, including... our first child, in the dream I still remember the pain of childbirth, gut-wrenching, couldn’t breathe...”

”At that time, I used all my strength and finally delivered a daughter the size of a kitten. Her eyelashes were particularly long and very cute, my heart was completely melted by her. The doctor pushed me out of the delivery room, you came over, brought a pot of soup you personally made, for me to recover, at that moment, I felt warm, felt marrying you wasn’t so bad...”

Gu Tong recounted the past, but by this point, she was already sobbing uncontrollably, all the past experiences she could only express as a dream, yet every moment and second of the ’dream’ was her own experienced pain and cruelty.

”And then...”

Li Yan wasn’t sure how he managed to speak, logically, he should have stopped Gu Tong from continuing, comforted her ’it’s just a dream’.

But...

He didn’t do so...

Because, if Gu Tong didn’t change, what she described could indeed happen, almost as if it were inevitable.

Li Yan was touched to the core, constantly aware of the emotions of the little woman in his arms, his heart couldn’t help but sink too.

”Then... the next morning, the earth-shattering cries echoed throughout the hospital. Our daughter, on her first day, died of asphyxiation in the early hours. The doctor who should have given me the birth certificate handed me a death notice, and sorrow swept through the rest of our lives...”
