Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 264: Return to Ling Tianyou’s Side

Mr. Lin sighed at his son’s temperament.

Lin Ruixian had always been free-spirited, and no matter how much he was told, he couldn’t be stopped.

"Since you’re back, stay and have lunch at home before you leave tonight. I’ll call your older brother and sister-in-law later and ask them to bring Wuhuan back. You haven’t seen them for quite a while!" Mrs. Shen said as she looked at Lin Ruixian.

Lin Ruixian thought for a moment and nodded.

At 11:30 in the morning, Lin Ziyue and his wife returned to the Lin Family with Lin Wuhuan.

Seeing Lin Ruixian sitting on the sofa, they greeted him with a smile: "How’s the store doing lately? Busy? The company has been keeping me busy, so I haven’t had time to go since the opening day. Don’t blame me, brother!"

Lin Ruixian shook his head with a smile, "How could I blame you, knowing how busy the company is? I just missed you all, so I came back to see you."

As he spoke, he took Lin Ziyue’s son, Lin Wuhuan, into his arms, "Did you miss me, little guy?"

Lin Wuhuan’s chubby face smiled so hard that his eyes turned into slits, "Missed~"

Seeing the harmony between the two brothers, Mrs. Lin was naturally happy and turned to the kitchen to cut some fruit to place on the table while chatting with the two brothers.

When the topic shifted unintentionally to the Ling Family, Mrs. Lin suddenly said, "Something seems to have happened with the Ling Family; the two elders of the Ling Family suddenly returned to City A."

Lin Ruixian said nothing, but Lin Ziyue said, "I saw Ling Tianze’s wife Liu Liu the other day, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Did something happen between Ling Tianze and Liu Liu that’s causing trouble, and that’s why the Ling Family elders came back?"

Mrs. Lin nodded, "Ah, it’s normal for young couples to have arguments. Especially with a child, it’s rare not to have disagreements with so much going on!"

Lin Ruixian thought to himself that if he hadn’t gone to the urban village with Gu Ningyue, his mother’s viewpoint might have seemed reasonable.

"By the way, how’s Ruixian doing lately? Have you met a girl you like?" Lin Ziyue casually said a few words to Mrs. Lin, then shifted the topic to Lin Ruixian.

Lin Ruixian was stunned before answering subconsciously, "No."

Mrs. Lin subtly pinched Lin Ziyue’s arm, and he continued, "Well, you should find someone. I remember the Jin Family’s daughter is still single. I can introduce you if you’d like?"

For some reason, Gu Ningyue’s face flashed through Lin Ruixian’s mind, "No need. I’ve been thinking of going away for a few days to relax. We’ll talk about this later; I haven’t made up my mind yet."

Mrs. Lin’s eyes showed concern, a concern that Lin Ruixian could feel even through Lin Ziyue.

But despite this, Lin Ruixian couldn’t let go of the person in his heart.

After all, how can feelings be forced?

A marriage born of compulsion might ultimately end up as nothing.

In that case, it’s better not to start.

"Ruixian, you’re not getting any younger. Look at your brother’s son; aren’t you worried at all?"

Lin Ruixian glanced at the love-stricken figures on the screen and didn’t take his mother’s nagging to heart at all, "There’s no throne to inherit at home, so why rush to have children? Xiao Han is adorable, and just having him here makes things lively. You can’t keep up with two kids!"

"Even if I can’t keep up, it makes me happy to see them!" Mrs. Lin frowned, "Having a lively household is tiring, but it’s what I want! Stop with the nonsense and go on a blind date with your brother when you get back!"

With those words, Lin Ruixian suddenly stood up, "I have something to do at the store. You guys eat without me; I’m leaving!"

Seeing Lin Ruixian about to leave, Lin Ziyue quickly stood up and blocked his path, gently advising, "Ruixian, what’s this about? Mom was just speaking casually. Sit down; at least have a meal before you go back!"

Lin Ziyue’s wife also stood up, soothing him with a few words, and pressed Lin Ruixian back onto the sofa.

Seeing Lin Ruixian’s reaction, Mrs. Lin’s earlier anger gradually dissipated, giving way to a sense of helplessness.

By the time Mr. Lin came out of the study, the kitchen had almost finished preparing the meal.

The family sat around the table, and due to Lin Ruixian’s earlier behavior, Mrs. Lin didn’t know whether she was too tired to speak or simply didn’t want to bring up Lin Ruixian’s personal matters again.

As a result, the meal was relatively harmonious.

When leaving the Lin Family, Lin Ruixian inexplicably turned to look at the familiar yet unfamiliar villa, suddenly feeling an indescribable sadness in his heart.

It was as if he would never return once he left.

He took out his phone and called Gu Ningyue. Within seconds, the call was answered, "Ning Yue, where are you?"

Gu Ningyue replied in a low voice, "At the police station. What’s up?"

Lin Ruixian was taken aback and then teased, "What happened? Did you get into trouble?"

"..." Gu Ningyue was speechless for a moment, "Last night, someone broke into my house. I just got a call that they caught the person and called me to identify them."

Lin Ruixian was surprised by the situation, asked a few simple questions, then drove over immediately.

When he arrived at the police station entrance, he saw Gu Ningyue coming out.

Lin Ruixian quickly approached and asked her, "Are you hurt?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, but they only caught a small fry. Nan Shaoyue got away."

Lin Ruixian was stunned, "The person last night was Nan Shaoyue?"

"Yes." Gu Ningyue nodded, looking at Lin Ruixian, "I’ve recently made too many enemies, so someone targeted him, thinking he could succeed."

"Let’s find a place to sit and talk slowly," Lin Ruixian suggested.

They found a nearby café, and Gu Ningyue recounted everything that had happened the night before in detail.

After listening, Lin Ruixian’s brows furrowed into a deep crease, "To take such a risk breaking into your home, they must have been out for blood!"

Gu Ningyue gave a small smile, "Unfortunately for them, they were disappointed."

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Lin Ruixian couldn’t help but worry, "You should go back to stay with Ling Tianyou. Your injuries haven’t healed yet, and this time there were two of them. If more come, can you handle it? Besides, if they try something else, and you’re alone in that house, no one might know how you died."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "Isn’t that a bit exaggerated? My wounds are almost healed."

Though this "almost" would still take about a week, it was much faster than before.

And yet... Lin Ruixian was suggesting she return to Ling Tianyou’s place? That surprised her a bit.

Allowing the girl he cared about to go to another person, it was unclear whether Lin Ruixian was truly magnanimous or merely speaking casually. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Better safe than sorry," Lin Ruixian said, "I’m not going to be in City A for a while, so I can’t be by your side. It’s safer for you to stay with Ling Tianyou!"
