On the other side of the resting area.
At a distance from the three long tables.
Li Yan sat calmly on the red sofa, expressionless, staring emotionlessly ahead. His long fingers tightly gripped the armrest of the sofa, exerting just enough force to nearly crush the leather.
His left foot moved back, his right foot raised, intending to stand up.
"Devil King, don’t be impulsive!"
An in-ear monitor transmitted Qiao Chenyi’s tense voice, hurriedly stopping Li Yan’s movents, fearing he might do sothing out of line.
Li Yan pretended to be unfazed, kicked the table with his raised foot, and sat back down on the sofa, murmuring, "You want to endure again?"
No man can watch his wife being bullied while standing idly by.
Even though he knew Gu Tong was sharp-tongued enough to handle it.
He still didn’t want to watch.
"Bitch" from one side, "mistress" from the other.
It’s the first ti he ever wanted to hit a woman!
"Making a rash move now could change the outco of the task! You’d have no reason to stay at the banquet, and even if you did, it’d be too far-fetched."
Qiao Chenyi stood in the monitoring room, having already grasped the situation here, and said, "I’ve studied the task data on ’Seizing Honor’. Gong Qingwan is no ordinary person; if she notices any problem, she might abort the action at any mont. Therefore, even though I don’t want this either, you have to endure!"
Actually, Qiao Chenyi also couldn’t stand others insulting Gu Tong, but he had to endure.
The task was the most important thing for them.
They are trainees with iron discipline, and at crucial monts, they absolutely cannot lose the big picture over small matters and must go all out to preserve the overall situation.
Li Yan clasped his hands together, his tone flat, and said, "I know she can handle it! But just now, I still wanted to go over there. I can’t help it, I’m her husband!"
The Devil King, who wasn’t known for speaking much in the records, spoke so many words for once.
Even Qiao Chenyi found it sowhat surprising.
"I can understand your feelings..."
The couple was both drawn into a task.
Both were worried about each other’s safety.
Moreover, this ti Gu Tong was executing the task alone, and Li Yan’s heart might already be in turmoil.
Qiao Chenyi, skilled in analysis, unconsciously ca to a conclusion.
He too felt helpless and couldn’t help but sigh.
...
Under the crystal chandelier.
Zhao Siyu held the ring, his eyes sharp, accurately landing on the ring worn on Gu Tong’s ring finger, lowering his voice he asked, "You’re married?"
The conversation that should have happened long ago was forcibly delayed by the ddling of that guy Qiao Sisi.
Zhao Siyu’s heart had long been tornted by this question, eager to know a definitive answer.
Gu Tong didn’t miss Zhao Siyu’s gaze, took the opportunity to lift her left hand, presenting the ring on her ring finger, its light reflecting its considerable value, and said, "Yes! I am married."
The shining ring seed sowhat glaring, as if invisibly telling Zhao Siyu, ’You no longer have a place,’ ’You’re too late,’ ’I am soone else’s wife,’ and so on.
Zhao Siyu’s heart gave a tremor, as if missing a beat, a sharp pain intensely reminding him of the reality before his eyes...
He never dread that such a day would co, where the woman he valued was already married.
All of this seed so unreal...
Zhao Siyu clenched the ring box, all of his agitation seed as if it would erupt in an instant, he shouted, "Married!!! Then why are you still!!!"
Thinking back to their initial eting, thinking about their conversation, despite Gu Tong having already said she was spoken for, Zhao Siyu still felt a surge of unexplained anger.
