CHAPTER 490: 490: HUSBAND IS THE BEST

"Sure enough, my husband is still the best..."

Gu Tong sighed, but there was a fleeting loneliness in her expression, difficult to detect.

She originally wanted to help...

But in the end, she didn’t really help much...

Or perhaps, she wasn’t part of the main plan.

Li Yan’s large hand kept soothing the little woman’s head, all his tenderness was contained within.

"Without you, the mission wouldn’t have gone so smoothly."

Gu Tong pouted, obviously not believing it.

This time, even without her, the mission could have been executed perfectly.

Her presence didn’t even play a supporting role.

The little woman’s expression was displayed vividly.

Li Yan understood as he explained, "The reason Gong Chenli collaborated with the Academy wasn’t because of me! It was because of Xia Xi!"

"He couldn’t protect her with his own strength, so he sought the Academy’s help! And your relationship with Xia Xi made up for everything! It solidified our alliance."

These words weren’t meant as comfort, but as facts.

If it weren’t for Gu Tong’s involvement, everything wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.

Gu Tong pressed her lips together.

Not completely convinced by Li Yan’s words.

She admitted that her improved relationship with Xia Xi did contribute positively to the current situation.

But, it wasn’t that significant!

All of this was nothing but self-soothing hypnosis.

"But, your relationship with Xia Xi is quite special, love at first sight?"

Li Yan threw out another probing question, wanting to know more.

During this time, he had almost investigated all of Gu Tong’s social connections.

But he found nothing unusual, nor any trace of Xia Xi!

He always felt that this matter wasn’t that simple.

"I guess so!"

Still a vague answer.

Every time Gu Tong touched on this question, she wouldn’t answer directly.

More like she’s avoiding something!

Li Yan’s eyes focused on her, but he felt unable to see through her, everything was silent within, turning into deep questions.

"That’s good then!"

Li Yan’s response lacked sincerity.

Anyone with eyes could see it!

Not to mention Gu Tong, who was anxious about the matter.

She clearly understood that her own Earl couldn’t possibly be so simple to believe her!

If there weren’t any suspicion, that would really be bizarre.

However, she was deeply aware, doing nothing wrong won’t cause trouble!

As long as she maintained the status quo, then all the issues would resolve themselves.

At least! It could guarantee temporary stability.

...

The jeep continued driving forward.

Already on the road back to the Academy.

Perhaps because Gu Tong woke up, the speed also seemed to increase.

Still the same road, still the same time.

But for some reason, Gu Tong felt time passed a bit faster...

She raised her eyes, looking at the familiar road beside her.

There was an almost otherworldly feeling.

Suddenly, something caught her eye, causing her pupils to shrink a bit.

Under the tree shade, a woman in a white dress stood with a smile like the wind, waiting.

Behind her were all the ladies awaiting their husbands’ return.

They were eager and full of anticipation!

This scene was almost otherworldly.

If it wasn’t for seeing them, Gu Tong would have temporarily forgotten something very important!
