CHAPTER 493: 493: GONE UP IN SMOKE, TURNED INTO A BUBBLE SHADOW.

"I..."

Qiu Xue was utterly stifled by this sentence.

But she had no idea what to say next...

All her plans were completely destroyed by Li Yan’s question.

Not even a scrap was left behind.

"Is it because when you were leaving, I didn’t see you off... you’re still angry..."

Qiu Xue feigned calmness, clenched her fists, and explained, "At that time... it was because something happened with the art class... It wasn’t that I broke the promise... And this mission is confidential... I didn’t know your exact departure time... that’s why..."

"Why see me off? Is that necessary?"

Li Yan’s second question was again thrown out.

And it abruptly stifled Qiu Xue’s words.

The words she wanted to say, the script she had prepared...

All turned into nothing, vanished into thin air...

Why...

She couldn’t come up with a reason...

Because everything she did was something she manufactured herself.

It couldn’t withstand even a bit of the main character’s suspicion...

Qiu Xue bit her red lip, a sting of pain in her heart.

She had calculated everything...

Yet she didn’t expect that, at the critical moment, Li Yan wouldn’t give her any face at all!

He even ruthlessly pushed her off the pedestal.

As if all this had been a solo performance of hers...

Qiu Xue’s eyes reddened with grievance as she stared in Li Yan’s direction, hoping he might feel some heartache for her.

Even if only to cooperate a little...

Any small reaction would suffice...

Give her a pass, let her complete this play, why not...

But in the next second, her eyes widened.

All the voices disappeared entirely! Utterly devoured...

...

The jeep’s door opened once again.

Gu Tong’s petite white shoes stepped onto the ground, and her body slowly emerged from the vehicle.

Her red lips moved slightly, "With me taking care of the Earl, he certainly won’t get hurt."

Gu Tong stood her ground.

Facing the duchesses, she remained fearless, her clear black eyes capturing all their expressions!

Surprise, shock, disbelief, all taken in by her.

After all, such a dramatic scene wasn’t something just anyone could accept...

Gu Tong’s familiar voice reached Qiu Xue’s ears!

Qiu Xue’s eyes widened, disbelief filling her almond eyes, with fear and trembling...

A voice echoed in her mind...

Why was Gu Tong in the car?

What exactly did she know...

All these questions flooded Qiu Xue’s mind, exploding directly.

Making her feel flustered and unable to extricate herself...

Qiu Xue’s sharp nails dug into her flesh, her tender skin almost bleeding.

"Sister Gu Tong is the Royal Doctor... With you taking care of Brother Li, his health will definitely be fine. But thank you, sister..."

She restrained the shaking in her body, trying to cover up.

A few words revealed Gu Tong’s identity as the Royal Doctor.

Qiu Xue wanted to forcibly reverse the current situation...

The Royal Doctor taking care of the Earl...

Everything became rationalized...

Gu Tong patiently watched Qiu Xue’s dying struggle, stepping forward leisurely.

Every step she took seemed to resonate through Qiu Xue’s heart.

Finally, Gu Tong naturally stood side by side with Li Yan!

She extended her fair petite hand and hooked it onto Li Yan’s arm intimately, saying, "Of course."

An assertive demeanor displayed impeccably.

Her man, she must personally protect him!

No one else would have any chance!

Her patience had been utterly exhausted!

As Li Yan said, attaching Qiu Xue’s name to Li Yan!

He would feel nothing but disgust and disdain!
