Free Web NovelChapter 1166: Chapter 1165: Three Days, As Long As Years
"How could it be... I would never do that... cough cough... absolutely impossible... so, hurry up and put away those weird ideas and stop doubting me..."
When Xia Xi spoke, she couldn’t hide her guilt. There was no way around it, really. Facing a woman who knows you inside out, she felt quite helpless.
Just a look, and the other person has seen through you completely. Ugh, there’s no privacy left to hide.
If it weren’t illegal to kill someone!
Right now, Gu Tong just wanted to smack this guy into minced meat on the spot. This was clearly scheming against her, and obviously so.
Acting like it was all planned yet making her believe it was an accident...
It’s her kindness not to smack her to death right away!
Of course, now’s not the time to think about this. Gu Tong was more concerned about how to explain this to Li Yan.
Originally, Li Yan didn’t know about today’s meeting between her and Xia Xi, but who would have thought Xia Xi would stir things up, forcing her to come clean.
Gu Tong’s mouth twitched a couple of times and she said, "Don’t say anything, I’ll call Li Yan."
"Okay~" Xia Xi thought it best not to speak now. Every word she said was wrong, and she hadn’t said anything right all day.
Gu Tong simply ignored her further, casually dialed a number, and the person on the other end who picked up was none other than her dear husband, Devil King Li Yan.
’Beep beep-beep-’
The phone rang about three times.
On the other end, a familiar man’s voice came through, calm and steady, "Hello!"
Just a simple, steady greeting was enough to warm Gu Tong’s heart. She turned to look behind her, seeing no danger, she said, "Honey~ I won’t be coming back today~ Xia Xi’s task got moved up, I might have to hang out with her for a few days~"
Xia Xi: "..." Damn, is this still the Xue Tong she knows? Always saying she’s cheesy, but now when it’s her turn, it’s just as cheesy, her soft voice almost gives you goosebumps...
On the other end, Li Yan, sitting in his boss chair, paused the hand that was holding the documents.
Xia Xi, not coming back, hanging out for a few days, that’s a lot of information.
Almost instantly, Li Yan felt like his wife, who was out, was asking him for leave, even though, indeed, that’s exactly what was happening.
Li Yan slightly frowned, "So when are you coming back?"
Although Devil King’s voice had no emotion, Gu Xiaotong could still feel his displeasure.
Gu Tong thought for a moment, "If it’s short, three days; if it’s long, seven days. It shouldn’t take too long."
"Three days, feels like a lifetime!" Li Yan stated.
"..." Uh... although it felt sweet inside, her husband clearly hadn’t heard the seven-day option, and opted very precisely for three days. Yet, this wasn’t a multiple-choice question.
Gu Tong’s mouth twitched again, "I’ll try to leave early and come back early, around three days..."
The leave should have been longer, but since her husband had already said so, Gu Tong had no other choice but to wisely choose to return in three days.
"Hmm, be safe." Li Yan reluctantly agreed, as if he was giving approval.
"..." Indeed, being married is different, going out requires approval from the "leader".
