Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 875 - 874: Not That Delicate

Li Yan was wearing a black jacket with the zipper down, revealing a glimpse of the white shirt underneath. He paired it with black pants and black leather shoes.

Step by step, he walked straight through the shallow puddles towards the pavilion.

As he reached the edge of the pavilion, Li Yan tossed the umbrella aside and flatly said to Gu Tong, "You’re wearing so little; if the wind blows, what if you catch a cold."

There was a hint of reproach in his words, but more so affection and concern.

"Right, what if I catch a cold."

Chu Xiran bit her molars and stepped forward, forcibly trying to get closer and make an impression, even thoughtfully reached out and touched Gu Tong’s arm, genuinely fearing she’d fall ill.

"My constitution’s pretty good; I’m not that delicate."

Gu Tong said with a forced smile, subtly shaking off Chu Xiran’s hand.

She also hoped she wouldn’t get closer to Li Yan.

Although Gu Tong was sure that Chu Xiran couldn’t really get close to Li Yan, it still annoyed her.

Chu Xiran withdrew her hand, feeling somewhat embarrassed; she hadn’t expected Gu Tong to embarrass her like this, and she pouted in grievance...

Her pitiful look indeed invoked sympathy, and one might think she was incredibly wronged.

Chu Xiran put on her little act beside them, not realizing Li Yan had no interest in her and hadn’t even glanced her way.

"Are you finished with work?"

Gu Tong changed the subject and asked directly.

And she didn’t want the light rain to delay Li Yan’s actual business.

"Yeah, it’s pretty much sorted."

The operational meeting arrangement was Li Yan’s forte, so it wasn’t a difficult task; he just needed to organize it a bit to get it done.

As for the rest, they’ll discuss and decide at tomorrow’s operational meeting.

Li Yan showed full confidence, and Gu Tong already had an idea, not saying a word more.

"Your hand’s really cold."

At some point, Li Yan’s large palm had enveloped Gu Tong’s small hand, rubbing it gently, hoping to give it some warmth.

"The wind blew hard, it’s no big deal."

Gu Tong was used to it, unlike those delicate young ladies, she just responded nonchalantly.

Li Yan furrowed his brow slightly, released her pale hand, and then took off his jacket, draping it over her shoulders, decisively stating, "Cold!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Gu Tong, draped in the jacket, froze in place...

"..." Alright, there’s a type of cold, when your husband thinks you’re cold...

Gu Tong tightened the jacket around her, still warm from Li Yan, making her feel significantly warmer.

"The chill outside is strong, let’s head back!"

Li Yan didn’t have much patience to stay in this place, mostly his heart was set on returning home to be alone with the little woman.

Gu Tong also didn’t want to stay long, so she nodded in agreement.

Li Yan put up a black umbrella, drew Gu Tong into his embrace, and leisurely walked towards the edge of the pavilion, suddenly recalling something, he turned back and cast a glance at Chu Xiran.

As their eyes met, Chu Xiran’s heart skipped a beat, feeling somewhat anxious, as if finally Li Yan looked at her, and a hint of joy inevitably surged in her heart...

"Aunt He will come to pick you up later!"

Li Yan is not an uncourteous person, nor is he someone who does not know how to care for ladies.

In his definition, however, no one can surpass his little woman.

Similarly, what he said to Chu Xiran was purely out of politeness.
