Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 245: Moving Back In

Watching Ling Tianyou appear in her line of sight, Gu Ningyue’s legs seemed to take root on the ground, unable to move an inch.

If she had known he would come at this time, would she still have had this meal here with Liu Liu?

Inexplicably, a question arose in Gu Ningyue’s heart.

Perhaps, she also looked forward to seeing him.

"Big brother, you’re back."

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Xiao Xuan has been sent back?"

"Hmm."

Ling Tianyou glanced at Gu Ningyue, her face pale, standing out particularly in the night.

Compared to the last time he saw her, she seemed even more fragile.

Ling Tianyou’s eyes showed a hint of heartache. How has she managed through this period?

"Are you leaving?" Ling Tianyou suddenly said, "I’ll take you."

Gu Ningyue hurriedly said, "No need, the butler can take me."

If she let Ling Tianyou take her, wouldn’t he instantly know she’s not living with the Gu Family anymore?

But Ling Tianyou didn’t give her a chance to refuse, and with a look, the butler retreated.

"Liu Liu, go in first. I’ll come back later to discuss Tianze’s matter with you."

Liu Liu responded, saying ’be safe’ before turning back into the house.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou helplessly, "There’s really no need to take me. It’s so late, you should discuss things with Liu Liu first."

After not seeing each other for a long time, the gentleness in Ling Tianyou’s eyes was gone, replaced by the same stern coldness as when they were strangers.

"Are you sure?"

Just one light question, yet it felt like a mountain suddenly pressing down on her.

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a second, ultimately forced to comply under Ling Tianyou’s authority, "Not really sure."

Ling Tianyou’s lips curled slightly, "Let’s go!"

Once the seatbelt was fastened, Gu Ningyue involuntarily remembered the last time they parted on bad terms.

Ling Tianyou had dropped her off halfway, letting her take a cab home.

Last time, what was it for again?

So much had happened recently that Gu Ningyue couldn’t even recall her sadness back then.

Thinking about it, she didn’t know if all this was good or bad.

At least she didn’t have the energy to deal with unnecessary emotions, right?

The car was quiet inside, Ling Tianyou didn’t speak, and neither did Gu Ningyue.

They sat in their respective seats like they were strangers, not exchanging a single glance.

After a long silence, Ling Tianyou suddenly said to Gu Ningyue, "When did you start having private contact with Director Chen? I didn’t even know."

Gu Ningyue knew Liu Liu must have said something to Ling Tianyou, so to Ling Tianyou at this moment, this question meant he didn’t believe the explanation she had given Liu Liu.

Gu Ningyue said, "Yes, a bit, not much."

"Don’t go to such dangerous places like urban villages anymore," Ling Tianyou paused, then turned his head to glance at Gu Ningyue, "Especially so late at night!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, her expression revealing no emotion.

She didn’t want to go either! Who wouldn’t prefer to frequent bright places, but isn’t it due to circumstances forcing her to go?

"What are you going to do about Tianze’s issue?" Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "I advise you not to go soft. Stuff like this is useless at home. That night Ling Tianze sneaked out, didn’t he? You should have seen the obsession and madness in his eyes then."

Thinking of Ling Tianze’s previous look, Gu Ningyue still had lingering fears.

If this continued, by the time it escalated to injections, everything would be too late.

"Hmm, I know everything." Ling Tianyou’s expression was serious; he never imagined such a thing would happen in his family. "Once the fifteen-day detention is over, I will find someone to extend the detox time. I won’t let him out until he’s completely clean."

Gu Ningyue remained indifferent to this, "I hope you won’t go soft by then, these addicts mostly have fraudulent personalities. Full of lies, speaking as if it’s all true."

By then, whether Ling Tianyou would change his mind was hard to say.

Ling Tianyou’s eyes flashed a hint of bitterness, "Don’t worry, I won’t be soft."

Not for anyone else, but for Ling Tianze, he wouldn’t give those people a second chance to poison his brother.

"That’s good." Gu Ningyue said faintly.

As the car traveled on the road, Ling Tianyou pondered for a long time before finally speaking his heart, "I didn’t intentionally leave you on the road that day, Liu Liu suddenly called, it was about Tianze. Sorry, I should have explained clearly then, I shouldn’t have taken that attitude."

Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised, was Ling Tianyou admitting his fault to her? Why did he suddenly yield to her?

She wanted to forgive him, but the words took a turn when they reached her lips, "So, you didn’t answer my call yesterday because you were busy with Tianze too?"

Clearly, he was at Chen Rui’s party, unable to be bothered with her, which is why he didn’t answer her call.

Probably afraid the beauty would be unhappy, right? After all, it was the beauty’s birthday yesterday!

Ling Tianyou sighed, feeling bitter but unable to express it, "No, yesterday was just unexpected."

Gu Ningyue pressed on, "What unexpected? What bad news was there yesterday?"

Ling Tianyou fell completely silent, not speaking anymore.

Initially, Gu Ningyue didn’t feel very angry, but this silence from Ling Tianyou inexplicably ignited her anger.

"Oh, I understand, my presence is obstructing someone’s path. If needed, I can step aside." Gu Ningyue turned her head and said to the driving Ling Tianyou, word by word, "Rest assured, I want nothing."

Ling Tianyou’s brow suddenly furrowed, clearly provoked by Gu Ningyue’s words, "I don’t know what you’re thinking, but if you’re considering breaking up with me, now is not the time."

Even if she wanted to leave him, it absolutely couldn’t be now.

That person would definitely not spare Gu Ningyue without his protection.

Gu Ningyue paused; so this person was planning to break up with her?

"When?"

Ling Tianyou paused, "Do you really want to break up that badly? Can’t wait even a moment?"

Gu Ningyue looked baffled, "I just want to know, you say now is not the time, then when will it be?"

Ling Tianyou replied irritably, "I don’t know."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

The atmosphere fell silent again, stiff and heavy.

As time ticked by, Gu Ningyue restrained herself, just about to break the awkward silence, when Ling Tianyou’s cold voice suddenly reached her ears, "When do you plan to move back? Is your mom’s room still not finished?"

Every time he went home and didn’t see her around, Ling Tianyou felt very uneasy.

For more than half a month, forget about furnishing a room; even furnishing an apartment should be done by now.

But Gu Ningyue seemed to have no intention of going back at all.
