Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 296: Beyond Doubt

Since Ling Tianyou left, Gu Ningyue hasn’t been able to settle down.

Clearly, in this vast, luxurious villa, she’s the only one.

Yet Gu Ningyue feels like she’s not alone in the house.

Perhaps it’s because horror films from various countries have been getting worse over the years, or maybe this particular movie has achieved an unsurpassable status.

After so many years of watching horror films, only this one is her Achilles’ heel.

As dusk gradually falls, Gu Ningyue begins to hope Ling Tianyou returns soon.

But every second of waiting feels like a year, so she turns on all the lights in the house.

She doesn’t care anymore about the electricity bill.

When she sees a call from Ling Tianyou and hears his voice, the joy in Gu Ningyue’s heart blooms like a flower after the rain, making her eyes sparkle with light.

Gu Ningyue looks at Ling Tianyou, his demeanor calm and composed, as if nothing could ever unsettle him.

Oh no, except for the last time when he got injured protecting Chi Xingtong.

When Ling Tianyou arrived, his footsteps were hurried, and the shock and urgency on his face were definitely not an act.

Thinking of this, the happiness in Gu Ningyue’s heart bloomed even more.

"Do you like this? If you do, I’ll order more."

Gu Ningyue looked at the phone Ling Tianyou handed over, "Yes, order one more. I want to eat this too."

Seeing the tension on her face lessen and a hint of a smile appear in her eyes, Ling Tianyou said, "Whatever you want to eat, go ahead and order."

With those words, Ling Tianyou handed the phone to Gu Ningyue.

After ordering, Ling Tianyou reached out and tucked Gu Ningyue’s hair behind her ear, making her small face even clearer: "Next time you’re scared, just call me. If you don’t know what I’m doing, just send me a message. I’ll reply whenever I see it."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Though she wouldn’t really do it, just having Ling Tianyou say that had mysteriously dispelled most of her previous fears.

"Let’s watch a movie!" Ling Tianyou said with a smile, ruffling her hair: "This time, let’s watch a comedy!"

Gu Ningyue nodded eagerly, "Okay."

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang, and Ling Tianyou got up, paused the movie, and turned to Gu Ningyue sitting on the sofa, waiting expectantly: "Come eat! We can watch more after eating!"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I want to eat here."

When she was little, and her parents were still around, the whole family would sit with their bowls in front of the TV, eating and watching together.

After she grew up, her master said this habit was bad, and she never did it again.

But every time she remembered this scene, she couldn’t help but feel a touch of warmth in her heart.

It was the only warmth in her brief childhood.

Seeing the regret in Gu Ningyue’s eyes, Ling Tianyou’s heart was moved: "Sure." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

As long as it was her request, he was willing to fulfill it, especially such a small one.

Sitting in front of the TV, Ling Tianyou pressed play and handed Gu Ningyue the takeout containers: "Drink less cold beverages, it’s night."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Okay."

Her rare obedience made Ling Tianyou glance at her again.

"Hahaha, this person is so unlucky!"

Her hearty laughter made Ling Tianyou’s lips curl into a smile. As long as she was happy, that was enough.

If she didn’t want to go back home, then so be it; he would accompany her.

After all, what was the big deal? He could follow her wherever she went if he wanted to.

In any case, she couldn’t escape him.

After finishing the meal, Gu Ningyue covered her mouth to stifle a burp and was about to get up to throw things away, but Ling Tianyou was already up first: "You stay put, I’ll handle it."

Gu Ningyue had injuries, and being the only one in the house, many things were inconvenient for her.

It seemed like it was time to find someone suitable to stay here with Gu Ningyue.

Watching Ling Tianyou’s skilled movements, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but say, "If those women who like you knew I made you do these things, they’d probably tear me apart!"

Besides, she believed the first to do so would undoubtedly be Chen Rui.

Ling Tianyou’s handsome face was full of smiles, his voice as gentle as water: "As long as I’m here, who would dare to harm you?"

Gu Ningyue suddenly asked, "Even if it’s Chen Rui, you’d still protect me?"

As soon as she asked, Gu Ningyue regretted it. What was she saying? Why bring up such a sore subject?

Ling Tianyou was momentarily stunned, "Of course."

There was almost no doubt about this.

Gu Ningyue didn’t expect Ling Tianyou to give such an answer; she thought he would be displeased and then brush off the question.

"I see! That’s good then!"

Ling Tianyou packed up the trash and then looked at Gu Ningyue, his expression seeming to understand exactly what she was thinking.

He sighed lightly, his voice carrying a hint of helplessness: "There’s really nothing between us, everything I’m doing now has its reasons, could you trust me this once? At most, within a year, I won’t have anything to do with her or the Chen Family!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, just about to say something when Ling Tianyou had already turned and exited the door with the trash.

Watching Ling Tianyou’s tall figure, Gu Ningyue felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.

She couldn’t quite tell if it was happiness or sadness; perhaps more than anything, it was an unsatisfactory feeling of being kept in the dark.

When Ling Tianyou returned, the movie was already playing the ending credits.

"It’s over. Do you want to find another one?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Ling Tianyou looked at his watch and said, "We still need to go back home tomorrow, let’s get some rest early tonight."

Only then did Gu Ningyue remember that she had promised Ling Tianyou earlier to go with him to see his parents.

She would have to go by noon tomorrow.

"Okay." Gu Ningyue stood up and said to Ling Tianyou: "Take care on your way back!"

Ling Tianyou stood there, a sly gleam in his eyes: "Did I say I was going back?"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "Are you staying here?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Otherwise I’d worry about you being scared."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Although she was happy Ling Tianyou was staying, her fear had mostly dissipated, and she wouldn’t be scared even if he left!

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, "What’s wrong? Not welcoming?"

"No, I just think you still have to go to the office tomorrow, and it’s inconvenient to go from here." After hesitating for two seconds, Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou and added, "And you didn’t bring any change of clothes..."

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "How do you know I didn’t?"

As he spoke, Ling Tianyou turned around and left the villa again. When he returned, he was carrying a men’s bag.

Gu Ningyue was speechless, it seemed the great deity wasn’t planning on leaving tonight!
