Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 250: Unable to Distinguish the Truth
After this little interlude, Gu Ningyue pretended to be indifferent and joked a few times, and the meal ended quite satisfactorily.
When it was time to disperse and head back, Gu Ningyue found out that the two had booked a hotel separately.
"I thought you guys would be staying together." When only Lin Ruixian and Gu Ningyue were left in the car, Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian and asked, "How long are they planning to stay in City A?"
Lin Ruixian shook his head: "Hard to say. The two of them, as you know, always do things their own way."
Gu Ningyue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Speaking of being carefree, I guess no one in the organization can compare to you. After all, they’re just on vacation this time, but back then you simply said you’d resign and you did."
Getting into their organization was already extremely difficult, and wanting to leave was even harder.
When Lin Ruixian left at that time, apart from the resistance from his master and others, there were also some entanglements with the leaders above.
But even so, it still didn’t stop his steps.
It seemed that no one could stop what he wanted to do.
In this way, he was strikingly similar to Ling Tianyou.
When will I also be able to do this, so that my life would not be lived in vain, Gu Ningyue suddenly thought.
Lin Ruixian didn’t respond, and after a long silence, he suddenly said, "Don’t mind what Lao Qi said today, they were just joking."
He never dreamed that Lao Qi would suddenly say such a thing, completely exposing his feelings under the lights.
At the time, his heart raced, and he nearly wanted to strangle Lao Qi right away.
Fortunately, Gu Ningyue kept a calm face, as if she didn’t take Lao Qi’s words seriously and even proactively changed the topic.
Even so, Lin Ruixian was still a bit uneasy, so he personally explained it once more.
"Oh."
Gu Ningyue found it amusing inside; although she knew the truth long ago, seeing Lin Ruixian so nervous was rare, so she deliberately wanted to tease him and didn’t respond to his words.
As expected, seeing that Gu Ningyue’s face was expressionless, Lin Ruixian became a bit anxious: "Oh what?"
What does oh mean? How come there’s not even an expression?
Gu Ningyue fastened her seatbelt, a very faint smile tugging at the corner of her lips: "I’ll take you back! I should go home to change my dressing too."
Lin Ruixian was tortured by Gu Ningyue’s evasive attitude to the point of scratching his ears in frustration, but couldn’t express it, so he paused and finally said, "Anyway, whatever they say in the future, don’t believe it."
Gu Ningyue nodded, perfunctorily saying, "Mm-hmm."
The more Lin Ruixian looked, the angrier he became, but since Gu Ningyue was driving, he couldn’t say anything and could only fall silent.
Gu Ningyue chuckled to herself and, after a brief quietness, proactively shifted the topic: "What are you planning to do next? You’ve got the Blood Jade now."
Lin Ruixian said, "Of course, I’ll go find Cheng Yihan. You saw the patterns on that Blood Jade; hardly any sculptor can perfectly replicate such craftsmanship."
Gu Ningyue looked at the completely gridlocked intersection ahead and slowly parked behind the red sedan: "Cheng Yihan is elusive; you might not find him until before next year’s exhibition. After such an incident, he’s probably long gone with the money."
Lin Ruixian asked: "Then what should I do? I don’t feel at ease looking for another jade sculptor right now."
Gu Ningyue thought for a moment and said: "I’ll go back and see if there are any masters still in City A. Anyway, it’s best not to put all hope on Cheng Yihan."
Although Lin Ruixian understood this in his heart, there was only one piece of Blood Jade; if it got ruined, where could he find a second one?
He couldn’t exactly steal back the Blood Jade given to Gu Ningyue!
"Why is traffic so bad today?"
Looking at the unmoving cars ahead, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but stick her head out to take a few glances.
Lin Ruixian glanced at the time on his wrist: "It’s the rush hour for commutes; just wait a bit longer!"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "There’s no choice even if we don’t wait."
Lin Ruixian glanced at her, suddenly saying: "Why is your complexion still so bad? How’s your wound?"
Mentioning this, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but sigh: "Don’t mention it, it just started to heal, and the stitches aren’t even removed yet!"
But if re-stitching counts as removing stitches, then that should be considered as done!
Lin Ruixian said: "If it doesn’t work, just go see a doctor, don’t stay alone at home all the time. It’s different now, doctors can always be called."
Knowing Lin Ruixian was concerned about her, Gu Ningyue replied: "Mm, I know, it’s already starting to heal. Don’t worry!"
However, just as she said that, her wound suddenly sent a twinge of pain.
As if reminding her that what she just said couldn’t really assure anyone.
After being stuck in traffic for half an hour, before it completely got dark, Gu Ningyue finally sent Lin Ruixian home.
Now that Lin Ruixian had retrieved the Blood Jade, Shen Hanyin’s matter was also settled, leaving only Gu Wanwan’s wedding.
There are eight days left until next Friday, during which time I should be able to have a good rest.
But who knows what Lu Qingqing might do since she didn’t get the Blood Jade.
With the Lu Family’s influence, it shouldn’t be hard if they wanted Lin Ruixian’s life, right?
Thinking this way, Gu Ningyue suddenly shivered.
It seems necessary to remind Lin Ruixian to be careful.
Returning home all the way, before Gu Ningyue could even rest for a while, her phone was already ringing.
—It’s Ling Tianyou!
"What are you doing?"
Gu Ningyue paused: "Just got home, what’s up?"
"Went to the hospital to see Shen Hanyin again?" Ling Tianyou asked.
Gu Ningyue listened to his familiar voice, slowly saying: "No, I went out with some friends for a meal."
"Lin Ruixian?" Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
Gu Ningyue didn’t answer his question, only asking: "Why are you asking this? Is there something?"
"No." Ling Tianyou immediately suppressed his inner displeasure and said blandly: "Want to go for a walk tonight? We haven’t gone out and had a proper talk for a long time."
"No, I’m a bit tired today. Maybe another day."
After a moment of silence, Ling Tianyou responded: "Alright! Then you take an early rest."
Hanging up the phone, Gu Ningyue looked at her phone somewhat puzzledly, wondering what Ling Tianyou suddenly wanted to talk about.
If not for being out all day and feeling a bit tired, perhaps she would have agreed to go out with Ling Tianyou.
However, if it had been the past, even if a bit tired, she would have gone out, right?
When did it start to change? Was it before she moved out of Ling Tianyou’s villa, or after Chen Rui appeared?
Many things got mixed up together, even making her start to confuse her own feelings and the truth of some matters.
