Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 283: Boyfriend Power

Ling Tianyou stood tall like a pine tree, already a head taller than Ye Mingchen, now even more imposing.

Just moments ago, the arrogant and aggressive Ye Mingcen seemed to have changed into someone else, standing there unable to string together a complete sentence.

Seeing him like this, Gu Ningyue increasingly felt that the original owner must have been blind at the time.

Otherwise, how could she have taken a liking to such a cowardly creature?

"Why are you silent now?" Ling Tianyou walked up to Gu Ningyue, his gaze as cold as the fiercest winter wind. "Wasn’t Young Master Ye very eloquent just a moment ago?"

Gu Ningyue felt Ling Tianyou’s hand move to her waist, but after recalling the long scar there, he hesitated for a few seconds before wrapping his arm around her shoulder.

His palm was warm, as if imbued with a magical power, calming her earlier anger.

Ye Mingchen, looking at the two of them standing together, finally realized how absurd his actions had been.

Yet at this moment, any words would be useless.

The only option was—denial.

This approach might be underhanded, but given the situation, it was the only way out.

After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Ling Tianyou and Gu Ningyue and said, "Master Ling must have misheard. I was just casually chatting with Miss Gu and said nothing."

Gu Ningyue widened her eyes, "Don’t you have any shame? You just accused me of being involved in the wedding incident!"

How can this person be so shameless? Changing his tune just because Ling Tianyou showed up?

She never imagined that Ye Mingchen, as the eldest of the Ye Family, would lack even this bit of courage!

Ling Tianyou’s grip on Gu Ningyue’s shoulder slightly tightened, calming her renewed anger. "Young Master Ye, if you think this matter is related to my fiancée, you can report it to the police or investigate the matter at that time. Coming here to falsely accuse people after facing setbacks, Ling thinks Young Master Ye’s upbringing needs improvement!"

Ling Tianyou’s words seemed gentle, but paired with his icy tone, even Gu Ningyue, Z country’s top assassin, felt a chill.

He seemed to possess a dominating aura that could crush everything, leaving no one unscathed.

Ye Mingchen struggled to control his emotions, trying to maintain his dignity before Ling Tianyou and Gu Ningyue.

But despite his control, his trembling voice betrayed his fear. "Master Ling is right, but has Master Ling ever considered that Gu Ningyue might just be using you to get back at me?"

If he hadn’t disregarded Gu Ningyue back then, how would she have achieved what she has today?

In fact, Gu Ningyue should be thanking him!

Gu Ningyue furrowed her brows, "Ye Mingchen, aren’t you disgusting? Slandering me and now trying to sow discord?"

Ling Tianyou glanced at the disgusted Gu Ningyue, but contrary to her expression, a smile appeared on his cold face. "Even if she wants to use me, seeking protection, as long as Ling is willing, why not? After all, compared to Young Master Ye, Ling at least wouldn’t covet her inheritance and her life, right?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Ye Mingchen didn’t expect Gu Ningyue to tell Ling Tianyou about this, and his face instantly turned pale, unable to stay here any longer. "Master Ling is right, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now!"

If it were only Gu Ningyue, he wouldn’t be afraid—what kind of storm could a girl abandoned by her family raise?

But Ling Tianyou is different; if he wanted, he could take his life at any time!

This, Ye Mingchen knew very well!

As he spoke, Ye Mingchen turned to leave.

But Ling Tianyou wouldn’t let him leave so easily, his voice like a call from Hell stopping him in his tracks, "Wait!"

Ye Mingchen froze, his heart racing.

"Is Young Master Ye forgetting something?"

Ye Mingchen turned back, his face full of confusion.

"Apologize to Ning Yue!"

Gu Ningyue looked at him, and inexplicably, she felt that Ling Tianyou seemed to be glowing.

Is this the legendary boyfriend power? It’s simply too amazing!

After a long time, Ye Mingchen took a deep breath and said to Gu Ningyue, "Miss Gu, I shouldn’t have spoken without evidence, I’m sorry!"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ye Mingchen’s humble expression, and a satisfied smile curled on her lips. "I hope the next time we meet, your manners will be better than today."

Ye Mingchen clenched his fingers, his expression so comical that it was hard not to laugh.

Ye Mingchen, so you have your day!

"Let’s go! Ning Yue, let’s check out the third floor!"

Ignoring Ye Mingchen standing there, Ling Tianyou took Gu Ningyue’s hand and started upstairs.

Behind them, Ye Mingchen slapped himself hard on the cheek.

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but turn back, seeing Ye Mingchen’s remorseful look, her smile brightened—even more deserved!

She hadn’t provoked him; he came to provoke her—it truly needed a lesson!

Taking the escalator to the third floor, Ling Tianyou looked at a nearby Western restaurant and asked, "Want to go in and sit? You must be tired."

Gu Ningyue was about to shake her head when her stomach growled.

Ling Tianyou smiled indulgently, as if the cold, icy man downstairs was someone else entirely, "Let’s go! The cake here is good, I’ll treat you!"

Gu Ningyue bashfully agreed, following him into the restaurant.

"Hello, would you like to order something?"

The waiter handed the menu to them, explaining the featured dishes, "The ’Summer Iceberg’ is also nice, our new pastry chef recently joined, Miss might want to try a piece. It’s chilled with strawberries, perfect for summer."

Gu Ningyue looked at the picture, it did seem appetizing. "Then..."

"No!" Before she could finish, Ling Tianyou interrupted, "You already had ice cream downstairs, can’t have anything cold now."

Gu Ningyue raised her gaze, meeting Ling Tianyou’s resolute eyes.

The waiter smiled, "Miss can also try the ’Memory Diary’, main filling is strawberry, and the cream on the outside sweet but not greasy, also good."

Knowing she had no choice once Ling Tianyou spoke, Gu Ningyue nodded.

When the waiter left after taking the order, Gu Ningyue handed him a bag, "Look, I bought this while waiting for you, see if you like it?"

Only then did Ling Tianyou notice Gu Ningyue had another bag aside from her purse. "What’s this?"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Open it and see? It’s with my own money!"
