Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 872: Chapter 871: Gong Qingwan Is a Viper

’Crunch -’

The door was shut tight, and the atmosphere in the entire room instantly plummeted to the bottom.

A good reminder to stay safe...

Indeed, everyone was worried about Gu Tong’s safety.

”I’ll stay with you, wherever you go, I go.”

Li Yan picked up the coat on the sofa and casually draped it over his shoulders. He buttoned it up as he spoke slowly and clearly.

Gu Tong: ”...”

How did such a romantic statement change its tone when it came out of his mouth?

Gu Tong really wanted to know how he managed to do that...

”Rest assured, I won’t disturb your daily life, nor will I be discovered by the ’Renyas’ people.”

Li Yan was indeed capable of such a thing.

When it came to tracking, he should be more professional than ’Renyas’.

”...” Gu Tong’s mouth twitched twice, clearly not wanting to discuss this topic with him, and said: ”You’re preparing to legally stalk me...”

If someone didn’t know better, they might think she did something to betray Li Yan, even causing the Devil King himself to stalk her.

”Hmm.” Li Yan fastened the last button, openly admitting, ”I wouldn’t trust anyone else to protect you.”

It’s more reliable for him to personally protect his own little woman. It was also more convenient, as Li Yan would be cautious and meticulous, not missing any detail.

Besides, he thought Qiao Chenyi felt the same way, otherwise, he wouldn’t have called for an emergency meeting.

”What do you think Gong Qingwan is really up to?”

Gu Tong stood up, returning to the initial question, and said, ”Judging by the timing, she contacted the ’Renyas’ organization right after she found out we were heading to Shoucheng. At that time, my identity had not been exposed, so it had nothing to do with the Feng Family.”

”Gong Qingwan is a woman who grasps people’s hearts but lacks any love!”

Li Yan’s thin lips parted, his deep eyes focused on the little woman, ”I’ve heard she is a woman my father despised! If he could, he would have torn her to pieces.”

”Hiss...” Gu Tong sucked in a breath of cold air, exclaiming, ”Why...”

Clearly the second wife of the Li Family’s master, yet she was so intensely hated by her husband.

”Because Gong Qingwan would stop at nothing, misusing power, manipulating people’s feelings.” Li Yan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, ”I only know part of the past, and these anecdotes were told to me by Gong Chenli during his idle moments.”

”Gong Chenli said it was the first time in his life he saw Gong Qingwan love someone, not her parents, not her brothers, but a wife, a wife pregnant with his child. She even abandoned her dignity, her self-respect, her reputation for this man.”

”She was willing to be hated by him for a lifetime, just to have him, and ultimately, even destroyed his family. Gong Qingwan is a viper; being loved by her would lead to a terrible outcome. How laughable, this was from the account of his brother.”

That’s a lot of information...

Gu Tong tried hard to piece it all together to understand Gong Qingwan’s actions, but it all relied on speculation.

After all, as Li Yan said, the past events were long forgotten, and the information they gathered was already rare.

”Alright, let’s not talk about her anymore. Let’s go home.”

When it came to that woman who could be considered his stepmother, Li Yan always remained composed.

”Okay~” Gu Tong replied.

Gu Tong wouldn’t force Li Yan to talk about things he didn’t want to, nor would she upset him.

Li Yan sensed the little woman’s thoughtfulness; he reached out his slender fingers and gently tightened Gu Tong’s scarf, then held her hand as they left the Academy together.
