Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 278: No More Trouble

In the business world, there are only interests and no emotions. Since the deal is done, Gu Ningyue following Lin Ruixian to City Y for an adventure seems completely unnecessary.

Unless... Gu Ningyue has some leverage that Lin Ruixian holds, forcing her to go.

Faced with Ling Tianyou’s "interrogation," Gu Ningyue, for the first time, felt that talking to a leader in the organization wasn’t that uncomfortable.

After a long silence, she finally began to speak slowly: "Although I gave Lin Ruixian money, he found out that Lu Qingqing had already made a deal with the other party before we could find another uncarved Blood Jade. I thought maybe, given the previous relationship of caring for Ji Qianqian, I could help Lin Ruixian a bit with this, making it easier for him to obtain the Blood Jade. At that time, I didn’t expect it to be this troublesome, nor did I expect that the people around Lu Qingqing would betray her, causing so much chaos."

This was eighty percent true and twenty percent false. Even if Ling Tianyou investigated further, Gu Ningyue didn’t fear.

Seeing Ling Tianyou’s furrowed brows relax, Gu Ningyue knew her answer was accepted.

"Never do this again next time."

His voice was low and melancholic. Just the thought of the scars he saw on Gu Ningyue’s waist made his heart ache.

Not even Ling Tianze being thrown into the detention center hurt him as much as that moment.

Gu Ningyue nodded repeatedly, "I won’t, the Blood Jade matter has settled, and there won’t be any more trouble."

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "You’d better. If I ever see another wound on you, I won’t spare you!"

Gu Ningyue: "Ah, this... I’m already injured, and you still want to torment me? Hehe..."

Gu Ningyue joked mischievously, and Ling Tianyou glared at her, only to sigh in the end.

Each time he saw her misty eyes, his heart softened inexplicably.

"What time do you go to the hospital for your check-up tomorrow?" Ling Tianyou asked.

Gu Ningyue checked her phone’s hospital appointment: "Between ten and ten-thirty in the morning."

Could Ling Tianyou want to accompany her?

Sure enough, the next second Ling Tianyou said, "I’ll pick you up in the morning, don’t wander off."

Gu Ningyue was about to find an excuse to refuse, but before she could, Ling Tianyou said: "Do you dare to refuse me?"

Gu Ningyue quickly shook her head, "I don’t dare!"

Ling Tianyou nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, you rest now. I’m heading back, and don’t forget to change your bandages!"

Seeing the wound on Gu Ningyue’s waist, he finally understood why she insisted on returning.

With such a severe wound, if she doesn’t change the dressings daily, it’ll be hard to heal.

Gu Ningyue responded and accompanied Ling Tianyou downstairs.

At the door, Ling Tianyou glanced at the doorknob below, "You changed the lock?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes."

But then she remembered Ling Tianyou didn’t know about someone breaking in a few days ago and might misunderstand her intentions.

So, after some thought, she explained, "The old lock broke, so I changed it. Don’t misunderstand!"

Ling Tianyou frowned slightly, "Is it that unreliable? Then next time we renovate, we shouldn’t use them again!"

Gu Ningyue thought that the renovation team was unlucky to involuntarily take the blame for this.

But things had already come to this, so it had to be dealt with this way.

If Ling Tianyou knew the wound on her waist and learned that she almost had an accident at midnight, he would probably drag her back to live with him again.

"Perhaps it was just an accident!" Gu Ningyue said to Ling Tianyou, "Take care on your way."

Ling Tianyou nodded, "You should rest early too. Good night."

Watching Ling Tianyou leave the villa, Gu Ningyue turned around and locked the door.

Phew~ Finally, the god is sent off!

In less than half an hour, her palms were already sweaty!

Fortunately, many questions were clarified, and her relationship with Lin Ruixian seemed clear in Ling Tianyou’s heart. As long as she reduced her interactions with Lin Ruixian, it wouldn’t upset Ling Tianyou again.

However, today Ling Tianyou’s attitude still surprised her. After making his promise, he didn’t ask any further about Lin Ruixian.

Did he not dare to ask, or did he not want to?

But would Ling Tianyou even have something he didn’t dare to do?

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue’s lips curled into a smile.

If that’s true, then it’s interesting; she’d have plenty of chances to tease Ling Tianyou in the future!

—Ah, it turns out President Ling also has fears! Wonderful!

In a good mood, Gu Ningyue went upstairs, changed her bandage, and went to bed after washing up.

Although seeing Chen Rui at Ling Tianyou’s villa made her upset, and she quarreled with Ling Tianyou.

Overall, Ling Tianyou’s reaction dissipated half of her grievances.

However, Chen Rui is truly insidious.

As she left, she even reminded Ling Tianyou, ’You might have been betrayed!’

Such malice!

Even if she and Lin Ruixian had something, how could they openly sit in a cafe and be seen by her?

Moreover, every time Lin Ruixian talked with her, it was business, always in a corner. How did she see them?

Could it be she had someone monitoring her?

No, impossible.

That would be too extreme, how could she know she would betray Ling Tianyou?

Or, she might gain nothing from such actions, and even be caught by her.

Gu Ningyue believed the Miss from the Chen Family wasn’t stupid to this extent.

Even Gu Wanwan knows such behavior is unwise.

Could it all be a coincidence?

As Gu Ningyue thought about it, she fell asleep. Perhaps the night’s stimuli were too intense, as her dreams were filled with Chen Rui.

In this dream, Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui walked together intimately, shamelessly feeding each other ice cream, completely ignoring Gu Ningyue who suddenly appeared.

They even smiled and discussed where to go, where Ling Tianyou mentioned a place Gu Ningyue always wanted to visit.

Gu Ningyue was furious, but before she could scold them, she heard Chen Rui say to Ling Tianyou, "Honey, should I wear the pink wedding dress for our wedding next month? I really like that retro Hong Kong-style dress."

Ling Tianyou caressed her head: "Sure, whatever you like, we’ll wear."

Gu Ningyue stood there, her heart aching. What? They’re getting married?

Wasn’t Ling Tianyou’s fiancée supposed to be her? When did it become Chen Rui?

After an unknown amount of time, the dream went completely dark.

She slept again in a daze, and when she woke, dawn had arrived.
