Chapter 1304: Chapter 1303: Honest Men’s Sweet Words Are the Most Comforting
Li Yan responded blandly, "This isn’t something you should be worrying about anyway."
He was completely unaware of the forceful authority in his words.
Perhaps it was due to his inherent masculinity, as he would never allow his partner to worry about these trivial matters—earning money, a rough task, was more appropriately handled by him.
...
The nearby female waitstaff all heard his words, their eyes almost turning into hearts, gazing at Gu Tong with envy...
Look at her boyfriend, and then look at their own; their hearts were more than a little stifled...
...
Gu Tong was amused and exasperated by Li Yan’s assertiveness, unsure of what to say.
Li Yan noticed the change in her demeanor and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Gu Tong waved her hand and said, "I was just considering whether to become a lady of leisure, lying around at home every day. It feels quite comfortable." She pondered seriously, and her tone reflected her earnestness.
Li Yan remained calm and said, "Up to you!"
No matter what Gu Tong wanted to be, he didn’t mind, as long as she was happy.
Li Yan wasn’t worried about anything else. Besides, his little woman at home was now pursuing the goal of being an ideal Royal Doctor, a Special Trainee, and an undercover agent. He wanted her to rest, but she didn’t want to.
How wonderful~
Gu Tong enjoyed the feeling of being doted on by him. She rested her chin on her hand and said, "It’s most comforting to hear sweet talk from an honest man. Devil King’s sweet words comfort my heart greatly."
Honest man?
Sweet words?
Li Yan didn’t realize the implications after speaking and showed a puzzled expression.
Gu Tong chuckled without explaining, saying, "Do you remember the dream I mentioned?"
Bringing up that dream again...
Li Yan’s wrist involuntarily tensed; he hadn’t forgotten Gu Tong’s pained expression when talking about the dream. Everything seemed so real.
He lifted his deep gaze; did she want to speak now...
Li Yan’s heart skipped a beat. He feigned calmness and said, "I remember."
Gu Tong didn’t miss Li Yan’s expression; she knew he was concerned...
She didn’t want to make him worry any longer...
So she decided to tell him everything, saying, "This time, when I went out with Xia Xi, I..."
...
’Ring, ring--’
The discordant sound of a phone ringing echoed.
It came from Gu Tong’s phone.
...
Li Yan frowned slightly, displeased by the interruption.
Gu Tong was also a bit perplexed. She took out her phone and glanced at it, seeing Xia Xi’s name flashing, but she ignored it and continued, "I remembered many things from the past. I..."
...
’Ring, ring--’
The phone’s vibration rang again.
This time, it was Li Yan’s phone.
...
Li Yan took out his phone, wishing he could remove the battery, and said, "It’s a call from the Academy!"
Gu Tong pursed her lips and said, "Then take it first, we can talk later..."
Calls from the Academy were usually not to be missed.
Li Yan hesitated a bit, but his duty as a trainee told him he must take the call. With this in mind, he picked up the phone and said, "Sorry!" Then, he strode to a side where no staff was present to answer the call.
...
Gu Tong’s phone was still flashing.
She sighed slightly and answered the call, "Hello..."
Xia Xi’s voice emerged from the phone, "You traitor who prioritizes romance over friendship, ignoring my calls when I dial you."
