Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 284: Other Plans

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s bright eyes, Ling Tianyou suddenly felt a mistaken sense of being pleased.

His long, handsome fingers slowly opened the box, revealing a cufflink that was understated yet luxurious.

The red gemstone looked like a vermilion mole imprinted in his pupils, reflecting the dazzling smile on his lips, making Gu Ningyue sitting opposite him stare in awe.

It seems Ling Tianyou still reveals such a smile, even though he usually smiles at me, it’s mostly gentle.

But this is the first time to see such a radiant smile.

It makes his already attention-catching looks like a dazzling glow, really beautiful!

With such appearance conditions, there would be no problem even if he debuted, Gu Ningyue secretly thought.

"Thank you, I really like it."

This sentence made Gu Ningyue come back to her senses, quickly pretending to be indifferent, saying: "As long as you like it!"

Seeing the blush appearing on Gu Ningyue’s pale face, Ling Tianyou suddenly teased: "Were you just secretly watching me? I didn’t know you were so lecherous?"

Gu Ningyue was stunned, then straightened her back and looked at him, saying, "When it comes to attraction, your good looks permit observation, right? Moreover, is it lecherous? It’s appreciation, okay?"

Ling Tianyou’s smile gradually faded: "Is that so? Have you appreciated other people like this too?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t even think before saying: "Of course, and quite a few!"

"Oh?" Ling Tianyou looked at her calmly and asked, "Who are they?"

Gu Ningyue laughed and said: "There are so many. The male lead in ’Night City’, and the second male lead in ’Rise to great heights’, I really admire them."

Ling Tianyou felt speechless for a moment: "I mean real people, who have you appreciated?"

Gu Ningyue tilted her head thinking for two seconds, "You’re quite many too, Chi Xingtong, Lu Qingqing, and Ji Qianqian."

Ling Tianyou: "...Besides me, no men?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "No, I haven’t met anyone better-looking than you."

Although Lin Ruixian and Su Heng have good external conditions, compared with Ling Tianyou, they always seem to lack a little something.

Especially Su Heng, every time he looks at me, Gu Ningyue always feels strange.

The most important thing is, after Su Heng added me last time, he’s been dead in the list ever since, never contacting me.

So why did Su Heng add me?

Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue shook her head secretly, perhaps, she was overthinking!

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, finally raising a hint of a smile again: "Is that so? Then what if you meet someone better than me in the future?"

Gu Ningyue lifted her eyes and said: "Then it depends on your behavior, if you’re not good to me, then it’s uncertain."

The phrase depends on your behavior again.

Ling Tianyou raised his eyebrows, yet lightly replied: "Okay."

Surprised flashed across Gu Ningyue’s eyes, since when was Ling Tianyou so agreeable?

"When your injury heals, just move back in!" Ling Tianyou counted the days in his heart, by then perhaps some things would have been sorted out.

Gu Ningyue’s mind flashed with Chen Rui’s smile and the scene of the argument that night, it felt like a needle fiercely stung her heart: "This matter, let’s talk about it later!"

She lowered her eyes, looking at the steak on the plate, suddenly feeling a bit sullen.

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s state, Ling Tianyou could only sigh secretly, initiating a strategy to solve things indirectly: "Then in a few days, accompany me and visit home? Since Tianze’s big incident, there’s no joy at home, my mom likes you, maybe seeing you will cheer her up."

"Me?" Gu Ningyue thought of the look Ling Tianyou’s dad gave her the first time they met, "I can’t help much by going, your mom might not be happy and your dad might bet another gripe against me. Better forget it!"

The younger son was caught in detention due to drugs, and the older son brought home a girlfriend he disapproved of, no matter how you look at it, it’s frustrating.

Let it be, better just be sensible and stay home to recuperate!

Ling Tianyou didn’t find it surprising seeing her refusal, just continued to persuade: "No, my dad is focused entirely on Tianze now. You, just do me this favor!"

Gu Ningyue looked at him and said: "Can I refuse? I’m really not keen on going."

Ling Tianyou saw her troubled look, also feeling a bit pity.

But this pity soon vanished in his heart, more than that, he hoped Gu Ningyue could go with him to visit the elder folks: "You can, but I’ll be sad."

He rarely spoke such words, Gu Ningyue felt a bit soft-hearted.

Seeing the slight wavering in Gu Ningyue’s eyes, Ling Tianyou immediately seized the opportunity: "Liu Liu needs you too, she’s got no one to talk to in A City except you. Just think of it as visiting her!"

Gu Ningyue pondered for a few minutes, finally nodding unwillingly: "But I’ll say it first, only this time!"

This kind of scene, he doesn’t want to experience it a second time. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Ling Tianyou smiled, "Alright, if by then something bothers you enough, you can leave anytime, I won’t blame you."

Gu Ningyue was surprised, "Even if they are your parents?"

"Yes." Ling Tianyou answered, "If it’s too much, even if they’re my parents, I won’t let you suffer grievances, not even hindering your departure."

Gu Ningyue then felt slightly at ease, given Ling Tianze’s arrest, Ling Chengyang’s temper probably wouldn’t be good.

Her appearance will surely aggravate things significantly.

"When are we going?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Ling Tianyou thought for a few seconds and said to Gu Ningyue: "The day after tomorrow, do you have other plans?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, everything’s basically settled, Lin Ruixian is no longer in A City, what other plans could she have?

"Then the day after tomorrow it is!" Ling Tianyou said, looking at Gu Ningyue: "I’ll pick you up at noon, we’ll have lunch together!"

Gu Ningyue agreed: "Okay, I’ll return in the evening?"

Ling Tianyou’s eyes shifted, "Sure."

For some reason, Gu Ningyue felt Ling Tianyou had other plans, but when she tried to scrutinize his expression, he had already lowered his head to cut the steak.

She couldn’t see the emotions on his face, but could clearly sense he had other plans.

Forget it, come what may, she’ll tackle it as it comes!

As long as it isn’t about marrying him at such times, she can accept anything!

This meal, despite the minor unpleasant interruptions, was overall quite enjoyable.

Leaving the restaurant, Gu Ningyue glanced at the splendid plaque, her mind suddenly recalled her mentor.

Long ago, she also liked to come to places like this...
