CHAPTER 491: 491: THE OLD TRICK AGAIN

If she didn’t remember wrong!

In her past life, it was at this moment.

Qiu Xue used various methods to expand and elevate her image, and it was deeply rooted!

She thoroughly secured the position of Mrs. Li in the hearts of these Countesses.

Now, it’s obvious she has no new tricks, just using the old ones again!

Gu Tong’s eyes were focused on Qiu Xue outside the car window.

She saw Qiu Xue’s delicate little face bursting with an intense sense of happiness.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement, searching for something all around.

The anticipation in her heart was already beyond words.

...

Indeed, she couldn’t contain her impatience, it had reached the point of being uncontrollable!

Gu Tong was already aware in her heart.

She glanced at Li Yan beside her and easily noticed he was already aware of Qiu Xue’s arrival.

Li Yan withdrew his deep eyes from the sight ahead and said in a steady voice, "One after another."

"Okay."

Gu Tong wasn’t angry because of her Earl’s choice.

On the contrary, she felt he was on the right path.

She hadn’t forgotten the conversation with Li Yan before the mission.

At the time, her Earl meant to handle this matter himself.

Gu Tong gladly agreed to it.

Now, the opportunity had arisen, and she was immensely anticipating her Earl’s ability to cut off the peach blossoms.

...

The car door opened, and the first thing to enter everyone’s sight was a pair of long legs.

With black military boots on the ground, a handsome and extraordinary man broke into everyone’s view.

...

"The Devil King has returned..."

"The mission succeeded... definitely succeeded..."

"The Devil King is a hero, long live the Devil King..."

...

The Devil King is the soul of Class One, and likewise, an idol admired by the family members of this group in Class One.

After all, they were constantly influenced by their husbands’ endless admiration for the Devil King every day.

Therefore, it was exceedingly difficult for them not to know the Devil King’s prestige.

Among them, many of the Countesses began to nudge Qiu Xue.

Amidst everyone’s attention, they pushed her out, with even some Countesses teasingly saying: "Qiu Xue, your man is finally back, hurry up and go see him."

With those words, Qiu Xue had already been pushed out by them, stumbling awkwardly as she took a step.

Her delicate little face was blushing so red it was about to burst, she stood among the crowd and said: "Brother Li... you’re back..."

Under everyone’s eyes, they stood face to face.

She was filled with tender affection, shy and timid.

He had a cold expression, hard for others to discern his emotions.

"Mm!"

A deep voice with just one sound.

No emotions could be deduced from it.

Yet it was enough to trigger a lively discussion among the nearby Countesses.

They talked in groups of twos and threes, with their words full of endless delight.

Because they thought the Devil King’s deep voice was the shyness of seeing his wife.

Such imagination was indeed intense...

"Brother Li, I’m relieved to see you back safely... are you hurt?"

Qiu Xue’s head hung low, almost embarrassed to look up.

But every word from her mouth was filled with concern.

"I heard this mission was very dangerous... I was so worried I couldn’t sleep... afraid something might happen to you..."

She was like a radiant white lotus, expressing all her concern.

These affectionate words spilled out spontaneously!

She wished to pour out all her longing from these days...

She missed him, really so much...

Couldn’t remember since when.

Qiu Xue had fallen deeply in love with Li Yan, a love so profound it tore at her heart and soul.

Every time she thought of this extremely outstanding man, she felt entangled...

She didn’t want to lose him, she must have him, it was now her only belief.
