Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 1086 - 1085: How to Save a Hopeless Straight Man

As Li Yan finished speaking, he was already right up against the little woman’s face, saying, "So, when you said you were sleepy just now, you actually meant you were thinking about me?""..." Oh my god... can anyone tell me how on earth you’re supposed to fix a blockhead like this...

She was about to collapse...

Gu Tong’s emotions didn’t last long. Almost the very next second, her red lips were sealed by his thin ones, the cool scent of Mint invading her mouth, leaving her no room to struggle.

"Mmph..." Everything Gu Tong had wanted to say was kissed back down her throat.

She even got so lost in it that Gu Tong was completely intoxicated, not wanting to pull away.

Li Yan was like some kind of drug, a deadly poison, one she simply couldn’t get away from.

Gu Tong willingly let herself be drawn in by him, happy to stay by his side, with absolutely no regrets...

...

The night will always pass eventually.

The darkness slipped away just like that, in a rush.

It was already noon.

Since she didn’t have anything to do, Gu Tong had slept very well. Wearing her fuzzy slippers, she strolled down the stairs.

Gong Qingwan’s face was deathly pale as she leaned against the sofa. She’d been unconscious for two days and had only just now mustered the strength to get up.

However, the first thing she did after waking was rush to the phone and desperately start making calls.

The entire morning, the phone became her obsession. But no matter how she waited, there was no response at all. She was frantic, yet she still stayed in the living room waiting for that call, not even sure what she was feeling herself.

Sure enough, this was what they meant by having a guilty conscience.

Afraid something would happen and drag her down with it, she was determined to find out how things had turned out as soon as possible, or she’d never feel at ease.

Gu Tong understood perfectly and smiled. "Second Madam, did you get enough rest? I heard you were sick the last two days—I was so worried."

Worried...

Gong Qingwan’s teeth ground together.

How could Gu Tong possibly be worried! She was probably wishing her dead as soon as possible.

If it weren’t for this bitch, how would she be walking on thin ice like this? How would she have fainted? Just thinking about it made Gong Qingwan hate her to the bone.

"I’m fine, nothing’s wrong now!" Gong Qingwan had always been someone who refused to admit defeat. Even now, she stubbornly held her ground, absolutely unwilling to bow her head.

That was just who she was by nature—that was her temper.

Gu Tong held the stair rail and chuckled lightly. "Then I’m much more relieved."

Relieved!

What a joke.

As long as this girl Gu Tong was around, she’d never know peace.

If Gu Tong really felt relieved, then that was bad news!

She’s much more relieved—what was that supposed to mean? Why was she relieved?

Thinking of this, Gong Qingwan got a bit neurotic. The whole person seemed on edge and irritable, yet she couldn’t explode.

She clenched her fists hard and said, "What a rare occasion, you’re actually not going to work today!"

Normally she was impossible to catch, hardly ever home, popping in and out like a ghost!

Now, with nothing better to do, she was dangling right in front of her eyes. Gong Qingwan was about to be driven mad by her.

Gu Tong yawned and said, "I’m just an elective course instructor, I’m not that busy. And it happens to be a stretch of consecutive days off, so I’ve got a few days’ vacation."

Talking nonsense on the fly was one of Gu Tong’s specialties.

In reality, it was because of the "human teeth" case that the organization and the school had seconded her out, which was why she had this rare downtime.

She simply had no reason to tell Gong Qingwan any of that.

Instead, Gu Tong deliberately provoked her on purpose, saying, "But this kind of job is pretty annoying, still not as good as working in your own family’s company."

In your own family’s company!

The veins in Gong Qingwan’s forehead bulged, but she forced her temper down and said, "There’s no such thing as an easy job. They’re all exhausting. You have to be able to endure hardship."

Gong Qingwan was about to blow a gasket. After circling around like this, wasn’t Gu Tong basically angling to get into the company and fight her for the family assets!!!

First she’d tried to stuff Li Yan into the company, and now she herself was scheming for a way in. Her appetite was really something.
