Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 310: Maybe Just Right

Shen Hanyin’s parents returned, so Gu Ningyue got up and took her leave.

Sitting in the car and fastening the seatbelt, Gu Ningyue didn’t rush to start the car but first picked up her phone to check the messages.

The whole day, from when Ling Tianyou left in the morning until now, he hadn’t sent her a single message.

Is he really that busy? So busy that he doesn’t even have a few seconds to contact me?

Wait, why do I want him to contact me?

It’s better if he doesn’t contact me, anyway they haven’t even had an engagement banquet, the emotional foundation is just that.

He, probably can’t have me in his thoughts while he’s working!

Upon reflection, the relationship between them doesn’t seem like lovers, more like a partnership.

And from the start, it has always been like this!

But who caused all of this?

Gu Ningyue sat in the car, recalling all the past events.

Suddenly, she was surprised to find that it might have been her own doing.

It was her with too many secrets, always avoiding Ling Tianyou, hiding everything from him, which left him completely ignorant of her.

Between two people in love, if one hides too much from the other and harbors subconscious doubts, no matter how you look at this sort of relationship, it seems like a mockery.

She was sure she liked Ling Tianyou, but compared to certain things, this affection didn’t seem that significant?

Sigh, Gu Ningyue sighed and suddenly felt that life was incredibly hard.

If she were only Gu Ningyue, not Gu Weiwei, perhaps everything wouldn’t be like it is now.

She could wholeheartedly love Ling Tianyou, not thinking about anything, not caring about anything, just believing in him and being protected by him!

But, all this is unrealistic.

She is not just Gu Ningyue; she is also Gu Weiwei, the top assassin in country Z.

Gu Ningyue, for some reason, suddenly felt that if things continued like this, she would eventually lose Ling Tianyou completely one day.

And she didn’t want that to happen.

She had never done anything for their relationship, nor had she ever done anything to make Ling Tianyou happy.

This time, let it be an effort for love!

Though, she wasn’t even sure if this was really love!

With these thoughts, Gu Ningyue drove back to the villa.

Just as she entered the door, she heard sounds coming from upstairs, even the voices of people talking.

Could it be Nan Shaoyue brought people in again? But the lock was newly changed and undamaged.

Gu Ningyue’s heart tightened, and she immediately shouted, "Who’s upstairs?"

"Young Madam, it’s me!" Aunt Zhang’s voice came from upstairs, then two familiar figures appeared in her sight: "President Ling called me in the afternoon to come over first and help Young Madam clean the room; didn’t President Ling tell you?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No."

Aunt Zhang, carrying the servants, came downstairs. "Maybe President Ling was very busy today and didn’t have time to tell Young Madam. Please don’t be angry, I just brought people to clean the unused rooms upstairs!"

Gu Ningyue smiled, unable to get angry at the elder who had been taking care of her in the villa before. "No, I’m not angry. There’s no rush for the rooms upstairs. I’m a bit hungry; what’s for dinner?"

Although she could cook, without her master there, she was really too lazy to get started in the kitchen.

The most important thing is that she still had not fully recovered from her injuries, and didn’t want to exert herself.

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ningyue benevolently and said, "What does Young Madam want to eat? On the way, I bought some fresh carp. If Young Madam wants to eat fish, I can cook it for you."

Gu Ningyue thought of Aunt Zhang’s past skills and nodded, "Okay, then I’ll go upstairs and change my clothes. Thank you, Aunt Zhang!"

Aunt Zhang smiled, "It’s no trouble, but isn’t Young Madam going to wait for President Ling?"

Gu Ningyue paused, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "Please call him and ask! See if he’ll come back. If not, we’ll not wait!"

Because he arranged for someone to take care of me, I will temporarily forgive him for not contacting me all day.

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ningyue and smiled, "Young Madam, you should call President Ling! We are a little afraid of President Ling’s temper!"

Gu Ningyue wanted to refuse, but looking at Aunt Zhang’s smiling face, the words of refusal simply could not be spoken.

"Alright, I’ll call him..."

Aunt Zhang joked as she watched Gu Ningyue’s expression, then led the servants into the kitchen to prepare the food.

Watching Aunt Zhang’s back, Gu Ningyue thought to herself, if he doesn’t pick up, then it won’t be my fault!

With that in mind, Gu Ningyue dialed Ling Tianyou’s number.

The prompts sounded for a long time, and just as Gu Ningyue was about to hang up, Ling Tianyou’s voice came from the other end: "Hello? Who is this?"

Gu Ningyue was stunned, Ling Tianyou seemed... drunk?

"Have you been drinking?"

"Ning... Ning Yue?" Ling Tianyou realized, quickly waking himself up, "Where are you now?"

Gu Ningyue said, "At home, what’s the matter? Are you outside socializing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a clear female voice came from the other side, "Tianyou~"

Gu Ningyue snapped back to her senses, Ling Tianyou was with Chen Rui!

"I just had a few drinks, I’ll be back soon, wait for me at home!"

After he said this, Ling Tianyou hung up the call.

Gu Ningyue stared at the ended call on the screen, as if a needle had pierced her heart.

So, this is why he didn’t contact me all day?

Though it’s hard for him, in this situation, he still thought to find Aunt Zhang to take care of me.

Perhaps hearing the noise, Aunt Zhang peeked out and asked Gu Ningyue, "Young Madam, will President Ling be back tonight?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "Just go ahead and make it! No need to wait for him!"

From his voice, it didn’t sound like he would be able to come back.

A half-hour later, a dish of sweet and sour squirrel fish was already set on the table.

The tempting aroma made one’s mouth water, but somehow Gu Ningyue, even though she clipped a piece of fish into her mouth, she lost her previous appetite.

She seemed unable to taste any of the delicacies, her mind filled with the determination in Ling Tianyou’s voice when he ended the call.

Even if they get married in the future, she would still live this kind of life.

Chen Rui’s presence might truly be more important than herself, though Ling Tianyou is unwilling to admit it!

Actually, it’s not only Ling Tianyou, even she herself is unwilling to admit, reluctant to admit that Chen Rui’s presence is more important than hers.

Looks like this time she was really too confident!

But, what should she do? She didn’t even know where Ling Tianyou was.

Even if she knew, should she go look for him? Perhaps by then, it would just be self-inflicted humiliation.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, what exactly was she thinking?

Originally, she just intended to cling to power, and sooner or later she would have to free herself.

Maybe now is just the right time, except... why does it hurt so much inside?
