Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1425: Chapter 1424: All for Love

Gong Chenli angrily said, ”Also, every time you call me uncle, it’s never for anything good.”

Xia Xi: ”...” Seems like that’s true, I can testify.

Li Yan: ”...” Really? How come he never noticed?

Gong Chenli took another sip of coffee, forcefully suppressing his anger, and said, ”Don’t deny it. Every time, it’s all for your little rascal at home, getting angry over beauty.”

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and went along with it, ”Well, that’s because uncle taught me well. Caring for your wife should be cultivated from childhood.”

Gong Chenli, instead of focusing on Li Yan, thought carefully, and realized he was the same. Whenever it was for Xia Xi, he could overturn everything too, so neither should blame the other; they’re quite alike.

Gong Chenli was so frustrated with this kid that he almost spat blood, simply rolled his eyes, and didn’t want to bother him anymore, saying, ”Alright, I can hear the sound of cars coming and going. You should be driving, right? Drive safely, don’t bother me anymore!”

That last sentence, don’t bother me, was the main point, wasn’t it?

Li Yan smiled lightly without exposing him, saying, ”Thanks for the concern, uncle.”

Gong Chenli: ”...” I am not your uncle!!!

...

’Beep Beep Beep--’

The call finally ended.

The smile on Li Yan’s lips hadn’t faded; he accelerated, pressing the gas pedal harder.

”Hmm...” The road was a bit bumpy, and Gu Tong murmured as if slowly waking from sleep.

Li Yan realized belatedly, thinking he drove too fast, and said, ”You awake?”

Gu Tong tugged at the jacket soon to fall off, curling herself inside, saying, ”Hmm, I woke up when you were on the phone.”

On the phone?

Then she woke up quite early.

Li Yan raised an eyebrow and said, ”Why didn’t you get up then?”

Gu Tong yawned lazily and said, ”I figured since you’re calling uncle, it’s probably Gong Chenli. If you’re chatting with him, there’s definitely something up, so why would I disturb you?”

His little woman is getting more thoughtful.

The smile at the corner of Li Yan’s lips remained evident, as he said, ”It’s about the Luo Family, nothing major.”

Gu Tong blinked and said, ”Gong Chenli is going to deal with the Luo Family.”

Indeed, smart, she grasped it in one go and directly guessed it, truly clever.

Li Yan didn’t answer her, but instead parked the car on a road with traffic lights, with more than thirty seconds left on the red light. He took the chance to turn around and look at his little woman.

Then, Li Yan raised his hand, and gently knocked on her head.

’Dong--’ It didn’t hurt, but it was a bit startling.

Gu Tong glared, showing a completely baffled expression: Why did you hit me?

Li Yan didn’t withdraw his hand; his large palm rested on her head, saying, ”Haven’t you realized you’ve become a career woman now? You’re always working, never minding your health. Falling asleep in the car, really?”

Gu Tong pouted but didn’t dare to protest because she knew Li Yan spoke the truth, and it was indeed for her own good.

However...

She had too many things she wanted to do; if she didn’t get busy, not only would she have a hard time completing them, but she also couldn’t feel at ease.

Li Yan understood her mindset, his hand continued to rub her head, and said, ”To get things done well, you must first learn to rest. Those who can’t rest can’t work; being under constant fatigue overloads your body, which isn’t a wise thing. Understand?”

This...

She actually understood.

Gu Tong nodded.
