Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 256: Depends on Your Performance

This was the first time Gu Ningyue saw Ling Tianyou feeling so down. It turns out that no matter how hard a man is like iron, he has a vulnerable side.

And Ling Tianyou showed this side in front of her.

Somehow, Gu Ningyue thought of this and suddenly asked, "Does she know about this?"

Who she referred to was self-evident.

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "Very few people know about this matter. The night I went with Liu Liu, I had connections and quickly blocked the news."

Gu Ningyue responded with an ’oh’ and said no more. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Ling Tianyou gazed at her cheek and said leisurely, "Even if she knows, it makes no difference to me. Eat well, when did you start overthinking like this? Hmm?"

Gu Ningyue, being hit on her sore spot, subconsciously tightened her grip on the cup: "I didn’t, I just thought..."

"Thought what?"

Gu Ningyue: "Nothing, it’s just that many people think Chen Rui suits you better. So I thought you would go to her."

If it were her, she probably wouldn’t fight and get herself so badly injured.

Chen Rui would probably be elegant and composed. Even if she casually strolls through a mall, she wouldn’t dress like I do now!

In times like this, Ling Tianyou should be meeting with Chen Rui, not her.

"You care about others’ opinions too?" Ling Tianyou chuckled, "No matter what others say, you’re my fiancée, Gu Ningyue. That’s undeniable."

He knew that Gu Ningyue had been uneasy lately because of Chen Rui’s appearance, but there were things he still couldn’t say now.

All he could do was try his best to make it up to Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "Then can you promise me one thing?"

Ling Tianyou paused with his knife and fork, and before she could say what it was, he spoke first: "Investigating you was my mistake. Starting today, unless you bring it up, I won’t pursue anything about you."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "Really?"

Ling Tianyou was very serious, "I never go back on my word."

If Gu Ningyue was sad and upset, then it must be his fault.

He kept that thought to himself.

Gu Ningyue lowered her head slightly: "Thank you."

A man who could cover the sky with one hand was willing to respect her, and that was enough for Gu Ningyue.

"It was my fault all along, I owe you an apology." Saying this, Ling Tianyou reached into his bag, took out a box, and pushed it in front of Gu Ningyue: "A gift for you, as an apology."

Gu Ningyue didn’t expect to receive a gift today. Looking at the blue velvet box, she was taken aback for a moment.

After a while, she took the box, uttering a thank you.

"Aren’t you going to open it?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue nodded and opened the box.

Under the bright crystal light, there lay a bracelet encrusted with diamonds,

The glittering light almost blinded Gu Ningyue, and before she could take a closer look, she quickly closed the lid.

This... this must be worth at least a million! The diamonds practically covered the entire bracelet strap.

"Do you like it?"

Gu Ningyue was momentarily tongue-tied: "It’s too expensive..."

Ling Tianyou’s lips curled slightly, "If you like it, it’s worth it."

As he spoke, Ling Tianyou stood up and came to Gu Ningyue’s side: "Let me help you put it on!"

Gu Ningyue stared blankly as Ling Tianyou took out the diamond necklace from the box amidst envious, jealous, and hateful gazes, and placed the bracelet on her hand.

"I think this is the first time I’ve given you a gift. Will you wear it always?"

After putting on the bracelet, Ling Tianyou returned to his seat.

Perhaps because his gaze was too passionate, Gu Ningyue lowered her head slightly: "You’ve already given me many things, villas, cars, and cards..."

These, far more than this bracelet, have brought me much more convenience.

Ling Tianyou said calmly, "Those are just worldly possessions. This bracelet was specially ordered, with your name and birthday engraved on the back of the strap."

Gu Ningyue glanced at it; indeed, there were some tiny characters: "Thank you for the bracelet, I really like it."

Seeing her like this, Ling Tianyou asked casually, "Are we reconciled now?"

Gu Ningyue remained silent for a long time before saying, "Yes."

A smile appeared on Ling Tianyou’s lips, "You won’t be mad at me anymore?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at him, "That depends on your performance!"

Who knows what might happen next? She can’t predict the future.

Ling Tianyou chuckled even more, "You’re the first to say that to me."

Gu Ningyue wiggled her wrist, the diamonds sparkling, "So, can’t I?"

Seeing her eyes no longer as cold as before, Ling Tianyou’s tone became unconsciously gentler: "If it’s you, it’s not out of the question."

He didn’t know why, from the first time he saw Gu Ningyue at that birthday banquet, he couldn’t help but view her differently.

As time went on, he gradually confirmed his feelings, becoming more and more unable to resist her.

"When are you going home?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue paused and said, "I haven’t decided yet."

Although Ling Tianyou showed a decent attitude in admitting his mistake, Chen Rui still stood between the two of them.

For some reason, thinking of Chen Rui’s stunning face felt like a thorn in her heart.

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Move back after Gu Wanwan’s wedding!"

His tone left no room for negotiation, his eyes portrayed authority without anger.

Involuntarily, Gu Ningyue nodded, unsure why she agreed.

Ling Tianyou smiled with satisfaction, "Want to watch a movie later? There have been some good releases recently."

Regretting her own actions earlier, Gu Ningyue, hearing Ling Tianyou’s suggestion, readily agreed.

After lunch, Ling Tianyou passed his phone to Gu Ningyue, looking surprised, she said: "I can just use my own phone, no need for yours."

Ling Tianyou said lightly: "There’s nothing on my phone. You can look at whatever you want."

Gu Ningyue could sense that Ling Tianyou was trying to prove himself and ease her resentment.

A subtle joy arose in her heart, like a touch of sweetness in a cup of plain water.

Not strong, but enough to wipe away the previous displeasure.

"Let’s watch this one! It’s been a while since I watched a comedy."

Returning the phone, Gu Ningyue looked at him and said slowly.

"Okay." Ling Tianyou bought the tickets, put away the phone, and said: "Let’s go now!"
