Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 574: Dear, that’s too muChapter
Xia Xi pouted and grumbled plaintively.
If someone who didn’t know better saw her, they’d definitely think she’d suffered some great injustice.
"I think you’re enjoying it!"
Gu Tong teased with her chin propped in her hand.
The relationship between Gong Chenli and Xia Xi was subtle, something Gu Tong observed closely.
That’s precisely why Xia Xi’s complaints were hard to take seriously.
As the saying goes, your mouth says no, but your body is quite honest.
"Hmph hmph hmph!! Big baddie, I’m ignoring you!" Xia Xi pouted her lips.
She expressed disdain for Gu Tong’s unmerciful takedown act.
Doesn’t even consider saving face for people...
Dear, that’s excessive...
Xia Xi was in a huff. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Gu Tong, on the other hand, didn’t care.
Savoring her hot porridge, she said, "Don’t come running to me too often! Sooner or later, they’ll suspect something―――"
The connection between Gu Tong and Xia Xi in their previous life created a natural soul bond and sense of compatibility!
As long as they were seen together, tiny clues were easy to spot.
Gong Chenli and Li Yan were both perceptive people! If they didn’t notice anything strange, that would be the real miracle.
However―――
Just at this moment, Xia Xi still took the initiative to come over!
This inadvertently confirmed their connection!
If a problem truly arose at that time...
There would simply be no way to explain it...
One must understand that their relationship was rooted in a previous life.
To explain it would involve many things from the past.
But back then, all of it was precisely what they had to hide.
"Do you think if I don’t come, they won’t guess?"
Xia Xi’s red lips curled into a faint smile, she lazily propped her chin, and said, "I don’t know about your Li Yan! But my freak Gong already noticed! Whether I come or not, the effect is probably the same, so we better not try to cover up."
She only said half of what she meant, only expressing Gong Chenli’s thoughts.
However, it could already represent Li Yan’s mindset!
These two men are bound to have some connection, the specifics are unknown to them.
But one thing was certain.
That is, their information channels are shared, what one knows, the other inevitably knows too.
Because of this, if Gong Chenli suspected something, then Li Yan would surely be suspicious too!
That’s something you don’t even need to think about.
"Gotta say, that makes some sense."
Gu Tong savored a spoonful of porridge and responded slowly.
She couldn’t help but remember Li Yan’s previous inquiries and her own feeble explanations.
If he believed them, it would indeed be a miracle...
"So yeah, if they want to guess, let them, the more confusion, the better."
Xia Xi had a slightly vindictive mindset.
Totally embodying the attitude of, ask whatever you want, I’m not saying a word.
She even pulled Gu Tong onto the same page.
But clearly, her persuasion skills were strong, in just a short moment.
She had already convinced Gu Tong! Even making her feel that there was some truth to it.
No wonder they were friends, their twisted senses of humor were exactly the same.
Gu Tong took a few sips of porridge, feeling a warm sensation in her stomach.
She set down the spoon, only to hear Xia Xi’s voice in her ear, "Did you deal with that little bitch?"
No need to ask, Gu Tong already knew who she meant.
Aside from Qiu Xue, perhaps no one else was deserving of those three words.
"You’re pretty well-informed, huh!"
Regarding Xia Xi’s ability to receive information.
Gu Tong had to admire her.
To think, this is the Academy Courtyard, yet Xia Xi could still know these things, that’s saying something.
