Chapter 356: Chapter 356

Gu Tong wanted to flip the table!

She glared, puffing her cheeks even more! She forcefully demonstrated to her Earl what a hamster looks like when it’s about to explode!

"If I weren’t afraid my precious ’cabbage’ would be taken by a pig, would I need to be on guard all the time? Am I narrow-minded? It’s all because of you, you troublemaker!"

"..." Cabbage? Troublemaker? What kind of descriptions are these...

Li Yan wanted to retort, but since his woman was already jumping up and down in anger, he decided not to add fuel to the fire.

"The plan is good! But without comprehensive measures, it can’t be implemented yet!"

Gu Tong stopped resembling a fire-breathing dragon, but her eyes widened instantly, and she looked at her Earl in surprise, saying noncommittally, "Is that a review?"

In this day and age, there’s even a review of plans...

And not to mention these little tricks of women’s scheming, her Earl was truly something, and judging by his demeanor, he seemed to have the intention of getting involved...

Li Yan raised an eyebrow, rolled his eyes, and didn’t bother with her, speaking to himself, "Qiu Xue is meticulous. Without tangible evidence, she would never admit it! Your strategy is just to push her into a corner, but with her skills, she can still escape."

According to Qiu Xue’s character, this was indeed the issue, but Gu Tong had already figured out a way to deal with it.

"So, I’m setting a trap for her, giving her an irrefutable reason, waiting for her to truly confess! The fox will eventually show its tail!"

If he had heard these words before, Li Yan would have thought it was unreliable, but since it was his own little woman saying it.

Li Yan understood Gu Tong’s intellect and her unconventional methods, which he had personally experienced.

"You are weak and have no allies! Your layout is too large, making it difficult, and if you go it alone, it’s hard to complete it!"

This statement was not wrong...

Gu Tong pursed her lips but directly revealed her trump card, saying, "That’s why I sought Bai Ling, Bei Jiafei, hiding in the cultural class! She has always been oppressed by Qiu Xue in a disguised way. Qiu Xue pretends to teach Bai Ling to sing, but has stolen many skills and nearly poisoned Bei Jiafei’s voice! This time, I had my aunt come to take her away, personally training her. The cultural class leaders were more than happy, and they are delighted, surely Bai Ling can take on the responsibility!"

Bei Jiafei, this name was particularly familiar!

Even the Devil King Li Yan, who never paid attention to gossip, had heard the trainees mention Bei Jiafei’s name. Her song "Reincarnation" was moving and even resonated with the trainees, causing a sensation.

Of course, this was not Li Yan’s main concern; what surprised him most was that Bei Jiafei turned out to be Gu Tong’s person!

Raising such a person is not an overnight effort; it seems that Gu Tong was not just thinking, but had been planning for a long time.

Seeing his woman calculating others, Li Yan didn’t dislike it at all; instead, he felt more comfortable. The original misunderstanding was finally unveiled, and until now, he understood the entire truth.

Li Yan’s thin lips moved slightly, saying, "The last point! It is also the most important one. If you can answer it, I will agree with all your plans!"

"What..." Gu Tong nervously swallowed her saliva, her eyes shimmering with excitement. She had answered the previous questions perfectly, and she believed she could answer this one fluently as well.

Li Yan didn’t disappoint and continued, speaking calmly, "Madam’s strategy is perfect, an excellent heart attack tactic! But you overlooked the closest support—you forgot your man." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novｅlfire.net

His slender hand lifted Gu Tong’s chin, the cold touch causing her to freeze slightly. She widened her eyes, completely unable to believe what she was hearing...

357: Gold House to Trap the King Yan

"Madam always puts my name alongside someone else! Aren’t you afraid of making me angry? Or do you think the name Devil King is too frightening, and you’re planning to hide me in a gold house, not letting me meet others?"

With each word Li Yan spoke, he lifted Gu Tong’s chin higher, his body gradually leaning closer.

By the time he finished speaking, Gu Tong could smell the faint minty scent from his mouth, could even feel his breath...

Because they were so close, only a finger’s width apart...

Li Yan lowered his eyes, looking at the little woman in his palm, smiling faintly, "Please enlighten me, Madam!"

Enlighten your sister...

If you’re going to speak, speak properly. What’s with the teasing...

Gu Tong, who had no resistance to Li Yan, was already thoroughly entranced by the teasing.

Gu Tong looked tearfully at her Earl, knowing full well he was doing it on purpose, yet she had no way to deal with him...

Because the love-struck Gu Xiaotong had already unconditionally agreed with her Earl’s views, and even thought it made sense—after all, always pairing his name with Qiu Xue’s made her extremely uncomfortable...

Gu Tong had fought many battles, but never had she lost so miserably, completely routed without any means of resistance...

"Alright, alright, you make sense..."

Gu Tong surrendered, unable to fight, she could always escape. Though unwilling in her heart, and not wanting to easily let Qiu Xue go, she still had to face this reality...

She considered more about her Earl, her husband...

Li Yan was amused by her giving up, his usually cold face lit up with a smile that dispelled all the gloom, leaving only bright sunshine――

Gu Tong was dazzled by his smile, a sight she had never seen in her past life, and something she particularly cherished in this life.

She stared at him dumbfoundedly for a moment, not even realizing until Li Yan’s lazy voice spoke, "Calculating others is wrong, Madam is so kind; how can you scheme against others..."

"..." This is the only skill she had, and he wouldn’t even let her use it, what would be left for her...

"So, let your husband handle this rough work!"

Li Yan continued, but this time completely stunned Gu Tong; she almost thought she was hallucinating, in disbelief saying, "Huh?"

"Indeed, I do have principles. I won’t help my wife commit mischief! I’ll only lend a helping hand based on your plan, whether she takes the bait or not depends on her own skill!"

Gu Tong was almost ready to swear...

She didn’t have to think to know what Li Yan’s helping hand entailed—surely it involved giving Qiu Xue the illusion that Li Yan had already changed heart! And then become increasingly blatant!

This technique of propelling something is unbeatable and victorious...

Even though Qiu Xue was indestructible, she couldn’t withstand such temptation...

Recalling the past life where Qiu Xue did heart-wrenching things for Li Yan, Gu Tong could affirm this!

Nothing in this world breaks down Qiu Xue more than Li Yan...

So, she definitely would take the bait...

Gu Tong’s mind began to wander, but internally she felt waves of turmoil. She never imagined that the righteous and upright Devil King would one day, for her sake, scheme against others.
