Chapter 207: Return to Li City
"Ah, so you’ve been hesitant just to mention this?" Tong Yao recalled that day and found it somewhat funny. "Honestly, when I was carrying you, I wanted to throw you off a hundred times. Despite you looking skinny, you were heavy as hell. I was almost suffocating from fatigue. If I’d known you were just deep in sleep and not unconscious, I wouldn’t have carried you."
At the time, she thought Gu Hongwei had a severe fall, only to realize he was just fine. However, she was exhausted from carrying him, almost to the point of death. Luckily, they were not far from Shuitang Town, otherwise, she really would have been worn out.
That being said, the major reason why she took such pains to carry Gu Hongwei at the time was that this fellow was quite decent. Moreover, he was destined to be the future head of the Hengfei Group. So, how could she not save such an important person?
Little did she know, this guy was just deep asleep, resulting in a big misunderstanding.
Seeing Tong Yao’s frank and straight-forward nature, Gu Hongwei also felt more at ease. His previous hesitancies faded. He chuckled, "Regardless, I still have to thank you." It’s hard to imagine the seemingly weak Tong Yao carrying him for a mile. If roles had been reversed and he had to carry her, he would have been exhausted.
Although Tong Yao was not heavy, considering the fatigue after nearly ten days of toil and insufficient food, she was bodies Or might already have been carrying a heavy load. Even walking while wearing shoes felt burdensome, let alone having to carry a person who weighed more than a hundred pounds?
Honestly, without hearing people say it, he wouldn’t have dared to believe that Tong Yao had such determination. A girl born with a silver spoon in her mouth being able to do all this was incredibly impressive.
Such girls are indeed rare.
