Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 301: I Swear

The two of them mentioned Chen Rui again, and the atmosphere fell silent.

This wasn’t the first time they had a conflict because of Chen Rui.

Thinking about it carefully, it couldn’t really be called a conflict; it was just her own heart that couldn’t get over this hurdle.

After all, looking at Ling Tianyou, he seemed unconcerned with Chen Rui’s presence.

However, it’s no wonder, given that Chen Rui is the number one beauty in City A.

So many people are captivated by her, and how could a man she fancies not feel a bit proud!

After an unknown amount of time, the car finally returned to Gu Ningyue’s villa, and Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue as he said, "I have only one thing to say, please trust me. Within a year, I will definitely give you a perfect answer."

Gu Ningyue stared intently into his eyes, "Then I’ll move back in after a year. If you’re so sure, you won’t be in a rush, right? I hope you respect my decision, okay?"

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue’s face, her expression was so determined that there was no room for negotiation.

If it were another woman, Ling Tianyou might have already lost his temper.

But the person in front of him was Gu Ningyue, and he couldn’t even bring himself to say a harsh word: "Fine, I won’t bring this up again."

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s incredulous expression, Ling Tianyou helplessly added, "Really, I swear."

Only then did Gu Ningyue nod, unbuckle her seatbelt, and get out of the car.

Once inside the villa, Gu Ningyue sat on the sofa and poured herself a glass of juice: "Aren’t you going to the company today?"

Ling Tianyou glanced at the time on his wrist, "It’s still early! I’m going upstairs for a nap, call me at two."

Gu Ningyue paused, just about to say, ’Why don’t you set an alarm for yourself,’ but Ling Tianyou had already closed the bedroom door.

Goodness, he really treated this place like his own home.

Didn’t even ask if she was bothered, just lay down on her bed? 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Tsk, men!

Ning Yue casually rested her slender, jade-like legs on the crystal coffee table, munching on snacks while turning on the TV and lowering the volume.

Today, she went to the Ling Family, completed a task, and once Ling Tianyou went to work, she planned to visit Shen Hanyin at the hospital.

The days to come are simply waiting for that ’great day’ to arrive!

By calculating the time, it should be soon, right?

Before then, should she give Gu Wanwan a heads-up?

To avoid being caught off guard at that time.

Thinking of this, a smile couldn’t help but tug at the corner of Ning Yue’s mouth.

At two o’clock, the phone placed beside Ling Tianyou’s pillow suddenly rang with a melodious tune.

He groggily opened his eyes, startled by the display showing Gu Ningyue’s name: "Hello?"

Gu Ningyue’s crisp voice came through: "It’s two o’clock, time for you to get up for work."

After saying this, Gu Ningyue hung up the phone.

Ling Tianyou stared blankly at his phone—did Gu Ningyue leave while he was asleep?

Getting up, he washed his face and rinsed his mouth, tying his tie as he walked out of the bedroom.

In the living room downstairs, the TV was still on, and Gu Ningyue was sitting there eating potato chips, engrossed in the drama on screen.

"I thought you had left."

Clearly at home, but not even willing to come upstairs to wake him?

Ling Tianyou curled his lips—was the TV more attractive than he was?

It seemed that his allure to Gu Ningyue wasn’t all that strong.

Gu Ningyue glanced over at him, then returned her focus to the screen: "Too lazy to go up, so I just called. Are you heading to the company?"

As Ling Tianyou descended the stairs, he replied, "Yeah, what plans do you have for the afternoon?"

Casually, Ning Yue replied, "Going to the hospital to see Han Yin. I haven’t visited her the past few days; I’m not sure how her injury is doing."

Ling Tianyou acknowledged, "Take care and come back early."

Ning Yue didn’t respond; coming back early was impossible. Staying longer at the hospital meant spending less time with Ling Tianyou in the evening.

After all, things were fine during the day, but evenings became inexplicably awkward.

Most importantly, she had a hunch that Ling Tianyou would cling on and stay here tonight, refusing to leave.

Once Ling Tianyou left, Gu Ningyue yawned, turned off the TV, and went upstairs.

She also wanted to nap in the middle of the day! Had it not been for needing to wake Ling Tianyou and refusing to sleep in the guest room, she would have dozed off on the sofa already.

As she opened the bedroom door, she noticed Ling Tianyou had tidied the bed before leaving, "Not bad."

Ning Yue lay down where she had slept the previous night, soon falling into a dreamless sleep.

It was a sweet slumber, and she didn’t dream at all.

It wasn’t until the alarm went off that Gu Ningyue half-awakened, opening her eyes, "It’s three-thirty already?"

Somehow, two unread messages had appeared on her phone screen, and as she opened them, Lin Ruixian’s profile picture came into view: "I think I saw your master!"

Gu Ningyue immediately sat up, not caring about the pain in her body, reaching out to enlarge the picture Lin Ruixian had sent.

In the crowd, that figure wearing a floral dress looked very much like her master, Xia Yingbai!

"Where are you now?" Ning Yue sent a message over, but there was no reply.

Unable to contain her excitement, she sent Lin Ruixian a voice invitation.

Fortunately, this time it didn’t take long for Lin Ruixian to answer.

"I thought you’d call right away! Why so long?"

"I was just taking a midday nap." Listening to the noise in Lin Ruixian’s background, Ning Yue asked, "Where are you now? That person’s silhouette is identical to my master’s!"

Lin Ruixian chuckled, "I’m in U-country right now. I didn’t see her face clearly, as the crowd whisked her away. Today is the annual Robin Festival here—it’s crowded everywhere. By the time I chased over, that woman was gone."

"But... her profile does look a lot like your master’s."

Ning Yue recalled the previous information she had received and couldn’t help but believe that woman was indeed her master.

"How many more days are you staying there? Can you..."

Before she could finish, Lin Ruixian interrupted, "I can’t. I have a flight tonight to another country, L."

Feeling a wave of disappointment, Ning Yue still tried persuading him, "I’ll cover the ticket; can you stay a few more days in U-country?"

Maybe, she would encounter her master there.

Lin Ruixian laughed lightly, "Sure, if you put it that way, but one ticket won’t sway me! You know how costly it is to stake out and track someone."

It’s just a ticket; his concern wasn’t about that.
