It’s already late at night.
Gu Tong lay on the bed, not turning over to hug Li Yan or making any intimate gestures. She faced away from him, sowhat sulking.
However...
She had no reason to bla him.
Because she knew, Li Yan hadn’t done anything wrong, his heart belonged solely to her.
Li Yan is Student King, handso and excellent, and even when he was in the Academy Courtyard, he attracted Qiu Xue to pursue him.
Now that he’s in Shoucheng, he’s been given this dazzling identity, and the butterflies had already set their sights, ready to charge.
Of course...
Gu Tong wasn’t afraid, she never avoided anything!
Similarly...
Gu Tong wasn’t insecure, she’s a woman with inflated self-confidence, she’d never concede an inch.
She only lanted having such a husband, unsure whether it’s good or bad, but it certainly is worriso.
Perhaps due to the entanglent of things from a past life, her mood was terribly irritable now, her heart felt lifted, her head overwheld by Xia Xi’s antics and unable to think, and now encountering this upon returning, it’s no wonder she’s not alright.
Li Yan, lying behind her, noticed she wasn’t the usual intimate little woman. He furrowed his brow involuntarily and asked, "What’s wrong?"
The little woman was odd, she had been acting strangely all night, and Li Yan easily perceived her peculiar behavior, causing him so concern.
No matter how formidable Gu Tong was outside, at ho, she was his wife, soone who needed his wholehearted care.
So he paid extra attention to her emotions, even if he didn’t speak outright, he worried in his heart.
"Nothing."
Gu Tong had no way to openly discuss matters of her past life, so she could only use cryptic ans to hint at them and gauge Li Yan’s view on things that had happened to her.
She talked about many dreams, and so ’what ifs’, all of which received answers from Li Yan.
But...
At this mont, Gu Tong didn’t know how to express herself anymore.
Li Yan furrowed his brow.
Is it really nothing?
Looking at the little woman’s deanor, he couldn’t believe the sentint at all.
Yet... Gu Tong’s deanor was decisive, she barely seed inclined to continue the conversation...
Causing Li Yan to feel sowhat perplexed, he said, "Are you dissatisfied with how I handled things today?"
He didn’t know Gu Tong’s thoughts, or why she was angry, so he could only throw out a hypothesis to cautiously inquire.
Gu Tong was a little stunned, shook her head, and yet didn’t turn around, saying, "I know so things aren’t your fault, I won’t be mad."
Li Yan is a straightforward man, not given to romantic conjectures, and often doesn’t pay attention to those trivial matters, like the past with Qiu Xue, or those whispers.
If Gu Tong hadn’t reminded him, Li Yan wouldn’t have given a thought to them at all.
Of course, this wasn’t because Li Yan was dumb, but rather he simply didn’t want to concern himself with such idle matters.
Before marrying her, his mind was filled only with ho and nation!
Boundless love, oblivious to small affections, long-lasting relationships.
This is Li Yan.
And...
He really had done very well.
Facing an array of alluring beauties, he ignored them all, never sparing them a second glance, let alone rembering them.
Gu Tong couldn’t find reason to reproach him, yet felt her frustration was sowhat unwarranted.
"I’m just a bit tired..."
This exhaustion was not physical but emotional fatigue.
Or perhaps it’s a sentint difficult to articulate.
Gu Tong was naturally easygoing, unafraid of sches, but unwilling to be consud by machinations, hence she’d utter ’tired’, a genuinely heartfelt weariness.
