Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1486: Chapter 1485: No More Avoidance

The Devil King and the Demon King, we’ll never know when they’ll show up, so wasting time discussing this matter would be utterly unnecessary.

If we run into them, the situation would only worsen.

Han Shang naturally understands what Xia Xi is thinking, but he’s unwilling to let it go. His eyes are fixed on Gu Tong, eager to get a definitive answer.

Some matters are like a knot, they’ve been hidden in the heart for a long time.

If they aren’t resolved, he can’t feel at ease.

So now, Han Shang doesn’t care what Gu Tong thinks anymore.

He’s only considering how to find his own satisfaction.

Gu Tong glanced at him and said, ”This place isn’t really suitable for conversation. Let’s find somewhere else to talk!”

There’s no need, because talking to Han Shang about things doesn’t mean she has to expose herself, and Gu Tong isn’t that foolish. She understands the wisdom of stepping back for a broader view.

Han Shang studied her for a moment, then said word by word, ”Are you sure you’re not just brushing me off?”

Brushing off—these words sounded a bit too severe.

Gu Tong pressed her lips together and said, ”I’m sure!”

Actually, upon reflection, Gu Tong doesn’t really know what Han Shang wants, but she understands in her heart that everything surely has a reason. Han Shang keeps clinging to her for his own reasoning, as long as they both calm down, patiently talk it out, surely they can resolve this issue.

Han Shang scrutinized her for a moment and calmly said, ”Are you sure you won’t avoid this again?”

”I’m sure.” Gu Tong didn’t hesitate, nor was she intending to bargain. She felt it was unnecessary; what she wanted was to leave here quickly.

If Han Shang truly remembers anything, then those memories, whatever Gu Tong may try, cannot be erased. Since they can’t be altered, the remaining matters become very simple.

It’s either to lay the cards on the table or continue pretending to be ignorant.

According to Han Shang’s current statements, pretending to be ignorant is absolutely out of the question. So now, the only path left is to lay the cards on the table.

Everything is right before their eyes, and Gu Tong isn’t someone to deliberately play dumb.

Han Shang knows Gu Tong’s principles; she either keeps silent or makes promises worth a thousand gold, staying true to her words. Whatever she says, she will certainly accomplish.

”Alright, let’s find another place to talk.”

As long as Gu Tong decides not to evade him anymore, it’s a good thing. Han Shang is willing to step back a little, giving her some space.

Thinking through this matter takes only a moment, the rest is just communication and resolution.

Xia Xi felt the cold wind sweep fiercely and couldn’t help shrinking her neck, feeling a bit frightened.

These two appearing in the same scene don’t necessarily bode well...

But, alas, she’s too weak to stop them.

No department store is a good place for conversation.

Gu Tong pressed her lips together and decisively led Han Shang to the stairway corridor, where it was empty and echoed when spoken, saying, ”Let’s talk here.”

This location doesn’t have surveillance, so they can safely have their conversation for a while.

Han Shang didn’t mind the simplicity of the location and said, ”Why are you avoiding me?”

Avoid.

Where does this talk come from?

Gu Tong said calmly, ”I’ve never avoided you!”

If we consider their past lives, during this time they haven’t met yet, let alone avoided; this statement seems rather absurd.
