Gu Tong spoke honestly, but didn’t mention anything about Xia Xi’s so-called ’tomb raider’ task. After all, if it really was this mission, it would be too far-fetched, and Li Yan wouldn’t be at ease.

Li Yan’s deep eyes focused on the little woman for a while without speaking.

Gu Tong met his gaze, feeling the hidden meaning in his abyss-like dark eyes...

Gu Tong naturally wrapped her arms around his neck, getting close to him, and said: "Why didn’t you ask me why Xia Xi came to find me again."

Li Yan lowered his head to kiss the little woman’s forehead, saying: "You’ll speak when you’re ready."

There’s no such thing as no secrets between husband and wife.

There’s a saying called ’a well-intentioned lie,’ which refers to things like this.

So, many things between a husband and wife don’t have to be completely transparent.

Whenever the little woman wants to talk, she naturally will. So, he doesn’t need to rush her.

Gu Tong felt the thin lips on her forehead and her eyelids naturally fell shut as she tightly closed her eyes. She thought to herself, her Devil King was really wonderful, as if she’s gained the whole world.

Thinking of this...

Gu Tong whispered: "Husband, if there was someone carrying your posthumous child, and I had to endure humiliation for the child’s sake, do you think that’s possible?"

What does that mean!

Li Yan paused slightly!

...

’Until one day, Qiu Xue came to me, pregnant at the time, with her big belly telling me that inside her was your posthumous child...

What happened afterward I don’t want to talk about much. In general, it was me like a fool, pleading bitterly with Qiu Xue to keep the child, then being roundly deceived by her. In the end, it cost me my legs and brought ruin to the Gu family...

At that time, I was lying in a hospital bed, listening to her say it was her own hands that smothered our daughter and how Li’s mother drugged my chicken soup. My body trembled, and I pulled out the ventilator, dead beyond dead! But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself awake, lying on a hospital lounge bed, and everything that happened before was just a nightmare!’

...

Is it that dream again!

Li Yan couldn’t help but remember the things the little woman said before, and that previous nightmare.

Even now, the little woman still can’t forget those things.

For some reason, he always feels that this dream deeply affects the little woman, as if it carved a scar into her heart and sprinkled salt on it!

Even if she forgot the taste of pain, she still gets hurt by the salt, gradually unable to heal.

Li Yan didn’t deny the possibility, instead, he answered affirmatively: "Because of me, you wouldn’t endure humiliation. Besides, your hypothesis doesn’t exist!"

Gu Tong suddenly opened her eyes and said: "Why..."

"Because you mentioned it’s my posthumous child, so such a situation simply doesn’t exist!" Li Yan lifted his hand, cradling Gu Tong’s small face, and smiled: "Besides, I wouldn’t let anyone else bear my child, and you wouldn’t endure humiliation because of someone else’s child. I understand you."

A child in someone else’s belly...

That’s it!

The posthumous child in Qiu Xue’s belly...

Is the proof of Li Yan’s past betrayal, whether this is true or false, Gu Tong couldn’t change her heart because of betrayal.

Just like Xia Xi’s words, ’Your memories don’t match your character!’ And the most inconsistent thing with her character was her kneeling and pleading back then.

Gu Tong’s strong and domineering nature, even if she did encounter such a situation or wanted to save that child, she would probably use another method, like directly capturing Qiu Xue and keeping her under control!
