Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 8 - 00: Returning to My Parental Home

"By the way, can you spare a day during the full moon?"

Gu Tong shifted the topic, her split personality returning to normal...

"Full moon?"

"On the 20th of next month, it'll be a month since our wedding."

"Why wait for the full month?" Clearly, Earl Li had no knowledge of customs.

"When it's a full month, newlywed couples go back to the wife's family home, it's called 'hui men', if you're available, take a day off."

"Hmm." It was a tradition, something naturally not to be dismissed.

Moreover, Earl Li had already married Gu Tong, so he needed to have a sense of responsibility; it was a man's obligation.

Perhaps that was his lovable side...

"A room full of injured people are waiting for you, go and get busy."

Gu Tong tactfully ended the conversation, though a bit reluctant, she still let Li Yan leave.

Earl Li had probably wanted to leave a long time ago, so he did not hold back, striding out as he left.

Gu Tong watched Li Yan's figure from the back, but didn't see the tips of Earl Li's ears under his hat, showing a tinge of red... She shook her head, smiling helplessly, this man was still the same...

No interest, not understanding romance, nor knowing how to repair marital affection.

In seven years of marriage, Gu Tong never believed Li Yan loved her!

However...

Before he died, he left a will, handing over all his assets to Gu Tong, and there were even three words written in blood 'I'm sorry'...

Love, or not love.

The question Gu Tong pondered over constantly after Li Yan's death.

An unresolved proposition!

Thinking of this, Gu Tong pulled open the iron door to the stairwell.

...

"Stop right there!" came a bellowing voice from behind, Zhang Wenjing shouted, "Gu Tong, you are shameless!"

Gu Tong glanced over, digging at her ear, said, "Stopping and being shameless are clearly two different things, aren't they?"

"You are shameless..." Zhang Wenjing's face flushed red with anger, she almost wanted to strangle her, "You actually seduced my cousin and even climbed onto him, you, you..."

God knows how furious she was, she was practically about to explode from anger.

If it weren't for her cousin, she'd have already lunged to tear Gu Tong apart.

"Oh, you were there just now too, what a coincidence."

This wasn't the point!

Zhang Wenjing stomped her foot furiously, said, "If I hadn't passed by by chance, how could I have known you're so shameless and despicable!"

"How do you know Li Yan wasn't enjoying it?" Gu Tong threw back a question.

"Impossible! My cousin would absolutely not like you!"

"Does he like you then?" Gu Tong snorted with a cold laugh.

Zhang Wenjing was Li Yan's mother's niece, raised by her, their mother-daughter relationship was very good, and they were reluctant to part with her. Unfortunately, due to the Royal marriage, Gu Tong appeared, shattering her dreams, so after marriage, her mother-in-law always treated Gu Tong harshly, rarely giving her a good face.

This little scheme, Gu Tong knew from her past life, she just never exposed it.

"I, I..." Zhang Wenjing's thoughts were directly exposed, saying, "You wicked woman, you seduced him, you're shameless!"

"Seems like you've misunderstood something! The affection between siblings and that between a man and a woman are not the same kind of feeling." Gu Tong explained to Zhang Wenjing, smiling, "I'm Li Yan's newlywed wife, so it's not called seduction, that's called enhancing marital affection, and we are legal!"

Those "shameless words" nearly drove Zhang Wenjing crazy!

"Even if it's legal, it's not allowed!"

She just wouldn't allow Gu Tong to be close to her cousin, she just wouldn't allow it!
