"You are the widow of Prince Li, aren’t you? No... I should say you are Prince Li’s wife..."
Xia Xi suddenly shivered and immediately changed the word. She hadn’t forgotten how much Gu Tong despised certain phrases, and also the fact that Li Yan was still alive.
The tragedies hadn’t occurred.
They still had time to change reality, to enjoy life...
Gu Tong’s inquisitive gaze fell upon her; all of this happened in an instant.
She hadn’t expected Xia Xi to know about Li Yan!
However, on careful thought, being reborn would lead one to continue on the same trajectory. If Xia Xi’s important person in a past life was Gong Chenli, then everything made sense.
"I don’t entirely know about this matter; everything is based on speculation... Even though Gong Chenli doesn’t tell me much, what I do know is probably just about right!"
Xia Xi temporarily shared the same mindset with Gu Tong. That was, the ones they loved did not want to tell them everything.
Everything they knew was based on conjectures.
They didn’t understand, so they couldn’t analyze the real situation.
Gu Tong did not withdraw her inquisitive gaze just because of Xia Xi’s lack of knowledge. Her eyes continued to observe Xia Xi, as if waiting for more to be said!
Xia Xi also looked at Gu Tong, her expression becoming much more serious. She nearly spoke word by word, "So, let’s join forces!"
That phrase "join forces" carried many profound meanings, most of which were the past memories they didn’t know in their previous lives.
They now stood in different positions, and as long as they wanted, they could acquire information from different angles, which was undoubtedly a form of protection for the men they deeply loved!
However, it was also a kind of danger.
"We are on opposing sides! What kind of alliance can we talk about—?"
Different perspectives would lead to changes in positions. This was the problem they had to face between them.
Likewise, this problem was what forced them into different positions, entirely from different angles.
Xia Xi pursed her lips but had to admit, Gu Tong was not wrong, under such circumstances, there was no possibility of an alliance.
"Becoming your enemy is the thing I hate the most!" Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
Gu Tong spoke again, her words clearly a statement and a fact.
She did not underestimate Xia Xi because of her weaker combat skills. Her past life experiences told her that Xia Xi, in any aspect, should not be underestimated.
What’s more, she understood all of Gu Tong’s information and strategies, able to capture signals with just one move—
Becoming enemies with such a person was clearly unwise.
Similarly, Xia Xi felt the same. Everything about Xue Tong from her past life was still fresh in her memory, unforgettable to this day...
"If possible, let’s refrain from fighting, can we?"
Xia Xi took a step back, choosing to compromise once more, saying, "At least... until you’re certain he will harm him..."
This sentence was a bit convoluted, but Gu Tong understood that the two "he"s Xia Xi mentioned referred to Gong Chenli and Li Yan.
Gu Tong lowered her eyelids, and the beast hidden in her body seemed to fall asleep in an instant. Her throat was a bit parched as she uttered a muffled word, "Alright!"
It was just this one word, but it already counted as agreement...
She agreed to Xia Xi’s proposal and was willing to refrain from taking action for the time being! At least until Li Yan arrived...
