A slight warmth flowed in Gu Tong’s heart, as her slender hand reached back to touch Li Yan’s head. Her lips curled up, and she gently said, "If you want, holding each other for a lifetime is no problem!"
She really wanted to grow old with him, for a lifetime, without any of the unexpected events from past lives, letting them together watch the bustling world, it would indeed be a beautiful thing...
Li Yan’s movements didn’t change, but his calm voice echoed by Gu Tong’s ear.
The originally beautiful atmosphere was instantly ruined, and lost completely...
Gu Tong’s mouth twitched, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.
My dear Earl, does he even understand what romance is...
It’s important!! Hey!
"Gu Tong, are you listening to me..."
Gu Tong was still reminiscing about her husband’s ’misdeeds’, lost in thought, when Bei Jiafei’s little hand waved in front of her eyes.
Gu Tong was startled, only then coming back to her senses, and said, "What did you say?"
This time Bei Jiafei was not happy, pouting in protest, "Can you not... leaving me for such a long time without a word, now that you’re finally here, you’re not even listening to me. I was talking to you about Qiu Xue, she’s been acting really strange lately, and you don’t even give me any advice..."
Bei Jiafei was on the verge of tears, suddenly doubting if she had followed the wrong person, how could someone zone out while discussing solutions.
Gu Tong rubbed her forehead, feeling deeply apologetic, said, "I didn’t rest well yesterday, so I didn’t hear clearly, go ahead, how are things between you and Qiu Xue?"
"..." Bei Jiafei wanted to cry, realizing she hadn’t heard a single word...
Wasn’t she tricked and followed the wrong person...
Thousands of possibilities flashed through Bei Jiafei’s mind, but she could only admit defeat, saying, "My relationship with Qiu Xue has eased, she now trusts me a lot, and she wants to continue ’guiding’ my practice of the nightingale sound."
"I’ve been making excuses about having a sore throat, and she’s helped me think of many ways to treat it, but... just this morning, Qiu Xue couldn’t wait any longer, constantly urging me, I don’t know what she means, I’m worried I’ve exposed myself..."
Bei Jiafei felt uncertain, which is why she sought Gu Tong’s advice, she’s also afraid Qiu Xue discovered something. Recalling Qiu Xue’s ruthless tricks, hard to guard against, her hair stood on end.
Gu Tong pursed her lips, but wasn’t surprised, propping her chin with one hand, she calmly said, "So that’s what it’s about!"
Now, Class A has returned triumphantly, surely the cultural arts class has to put on a performance to celebrate the trainees’ victory, and at that time Qiu Xue will definitely be the star, performing the nightingale’s singing skills on stage.
This time because of Class A’s battle, the leader is the Devil King, Qiu Xue will definitely want to amaze everyone, attracting attention.
These days, she’s surely made a lot of efforts, further convincing the noble ladies that she’s the Devil King’s girlfriend, then showing off in front of the trainees, undoubtedly the best way to gain goodwill.
Qiu Xue has planned meticulously, but Gu Tong anticipated all of this, having already foreseen the opportunity.
"What is it... in any case, it’s nothing good..."
Bei Jiafei, unaware of the truth, was definitely at her wits’ end, desperately needing Gu Tong’s advice, to guide her on the right path.
After all, this feeling of imminent danger! Had already consumed all her nerves, making it difficult for her to sleep...
