Gu Tong’s repeated concessions carried a hint of deliberate intent.
In her past life, she always suffered in silence, stubbornly enduring her pain without anyone knowing. But in this life, she wasn’t that foolish. She wanted to see what Li Yan would do...
"You don’t have to do this."
Li Yan felt a heaviness in his chest, as if his heart was being clenched. The once radiant flower from the greenhouse had suffered greatly because of him, "It’s really Zhang Wenjing’s unreasonable behavior, it has nothing to do with you."
He replaced his usual cold deanor with a rare fleeting gentleness.
Gu Tong was stunned. Was she seeing things?
"It’s alright. Our dad said you haven’t taken a vacation in years, and we still have our honeymoon leave. We can take it together. I also want to accompany you back to the hotown to take a look, so why not take this opportunity?"
They hardly had any private ti together, so going back to the hotown could also enhance their relationship.
She wanted to thank Zhang Wenjing for finding her such a good opportunity.
"I’ll listen to you."
Li Yan couldn’t bring himself to say a word of refusal when he saw Gu Tong’s brilliant smile.
Even though he didn’t really want to go back to his hotown, he agreed to the proposal.
"Cousin, no, how can this be..."
Zhang Wenjing gritted her teeth almost to the point of breaking.
How could she not understand Gu Tong’s cunning mind?
Husbands and wives would have to live together when they return to their hotown, and she definitely wanted to take this chance with her cousin...
No, absolutely not!
"What are you trying to do?" Li Yan was not made of clay. His eyes flashed with anger, unable to tolerate Zhang Wenjing’s continued nonsense.
"I..."
Tears brimd in Zhang Wenjing’s eyes, threatening to spill over. She just liked him, seeing them together tore at her heart, but why couldn’t her cousin understand?
"You know nothing..." she cried out and ran off imdiately.
"Cousin..."
Gu Tong called out, but it was useless. This attempt to stop her was nothing but a victorious smirk with a gentle provocation.
"Don’t worry about her."
Li Yan’s handso face still bore traces of anger, "She wasn’t like this before. My mom spoiled her."
Indeed, Zhang Wenjing always threw childish tantrums in the past, but never was she so unreasonable.
What a disappointnt she had beco.
"She’ll understand eventually."
The more Zhang Wenjing acted out, the more considerate and understanding she appeared.
How had she not noticed before that she had such a skill?
Li Yan’s eyes glimred like cold stars, his thin lips moved, "Your pitiful expression is unsightly!"
Huh?
What does he an?
Did he realize she was pretending?
He didn’t have to be so perceptive.
"Uh... sorry..."
A quick apology, a foolproof strategy.
Li Yan’s gaze grew deeper, "Gu Tong, rember, no one can bully you."
Recalling the monts when Gu Tong once wore a look of grievance, his heart twisted in pain, though he didn’t understand why he felt this way.
But he knew clearly, no one could touch her, not even a single hair on her head, not even himself.
Gu Tong choked up slightly, "Alright..."
A thousand possibilities flooded her mind, yet she didn’t expect it to be these words, filled with tenderness down to the bone...
The fleeting worry and gain felt like an unreal dream, burning hotly in the place where her heart lay.
Earl, you’ve swept off my feet, my little heart...
"Get to sleep early." The voice brimd with masculine hormones.
Oh gosh.
Could she even sleep now...
