Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 313: Beg Me

When Gu Ningyue came out after changing her clothes, Ling Tianyou was already sitting in the living room downstairs talking to Aunt Zhang.

"President Ling has been socializing a lot lately, make something good for his stomach! It’s just as well since the Young Madam doesn’t look too well either. She needs to replenish her energy and blood."

Aunt Zhang was very considerate, introducing the new dishes she had been researching to Ling Tianyou.

"Just make something simple. I’m taking Ning Yue back to the company this afternoon." Ling Tianyou glanced at Gu Ningyue, who was slowly coming downstairs, and suddenly added in a low voice, "Make some sobering soup for the evening, we might need it when we get back."

He had a premonition that tonight would definitely be a battlefield.

As Gu Ningyue came downstairs, she glanced at Ling Tianyou and said, "Prepared for me? I don’t think I’ll need it!"

Ling Tianyou looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Gu Ningyue smiled charmingly, "With my condition, how could I handle alcohol?"

Ling Tianyou was suddenly delighted: That’s right! Gu Ningyue’s injury hadn’t healed yet; she shouldn’t touch alcohol.

This way, a lot of unnecessary trouble was avoided.

Noticing Ling Tianyou’s expression, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but purse her lips; competing in drinking, how childish, she wasn’t that low!

Once Aunt Zhang finished cooking, Ling Tianyou, while eating, casually looked at Gu Ningyue and asked, "Do you have any special plans lately?"

Gu Ningyue just shook her head then quickly changed her mind, "Yes!"

Ling Tianyou asked, "What?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou, "I want to find some time to go out and relax after having my stitches removed."

Lin Ruixian was now in the U Country, and just seeing the messages he sent her every day made her restless.

Ling Tianyou asked, "Where to? Going to Y City again?"

"Not going." Gu Ningyue thought for a moment, "We’ll talk about it later! There’s still uncertainty about when the stitches can be removed."

Ling Tianyou smiled, "As long as you are careful recently, there won’t be any problem."

Gu Ningyue responded softly, not saying anything more.

After they were done eating, Gu Ningyue watched Aunt Zhang clean up the table, suddenly feeling that having money was indeed a good thing.

When she was alone here, cooking and cleaning the house were challenging, not to mention cleaning a room in this vast place was a bit strenuous with an injury.

This place was indeed too large, having two servants to take care of her was quite a comfortable thing.

"By the way, the people in the villa, how much are you paying them per month?"

It was just past three in the afternoon, and there was still some leisure time.

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and replied casually, "Not much, regular servants get ten thousand a month, Aunt Zhang and Uncle You get twenty thousand each."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but be astonished; no wonder the villa servants were always smiling, that was the reason.

Outside, company white-collar workers only earned around seven or eight thousand a month, yet Ling Tianyou actually paid them such high salaries?

"You think I’m paying them too much?" Ling Tianyou seemed to have seen through Gu Ningyue’s thoughts and lightly patted her on the head, "You’ll understand later why their salaries are so high."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "Why? Tell me now!"

It’s just a salary, why keep it secretive?

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue’s curious look, but he seemed to have no intention of telling her, smiling mysteriously before disappearing into the study, not knowing what to do.

"Stingy! Keeping even this as a secret."

Gu Ningyue mumbled quietly, turning around just in time to see Aunt Zhang coming out of the kitchen, her heart stirring as she walked over to Aunt Zhang.

Hmph, just because you won’t tell me doesn’t mean I can’t ask!

"Aunt Zhang, why are the villa staff paid so much?"

Aunt Zhang was a bit flustered, perhaps overhearing the conversation in the living room, and just smiled at Gu Ningyue, "Our salaries are set by President Ling, the reasons behind it, I’m not too clear on. If Young Madam wants to know, it’s best to ask President Ling."

Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes, pulling at Aunt Zhang and acting coyly, "Aunt Zhang, just tell me! Tianyou won’t say anything, I’m just curious, nothing else."

Aunt Zhang, looking at the tall and elegant girl in front of her, saw that even with her charming looks, her eyes were as clear as a stream, damp and staring right at her, softening her heart involuntarily.

Just as Aunt Zhang was about to surrender, Ling Tianyou’s voice called from behind, "Aunt Zhang, bring me that black coat!"

Aunt Zhang quickly came to her senses and hurried to get the coat for Ling Tianyou.

Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes, Ling Tianyou appeared at just the right moment.

"President Ling, is it this one?"

Aunt Zhang handed the coat to Ling Tianyou with both hands, and Ling Tianyou glanced at it, "Yes."

Taking the coat, Ling Tianyou sat down next to Gu Ningyue, "Are you really so curious? Hm?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "So, just tell me?"

Initially, she was just curious about their salary, but seeing Ling Tianyou’s teasing demeanor now, made her pay extra attention to these people.

Could they have some special skills? But she would have noticed if they did while staying in the villa!

Yet, thinking further, if there’s nothing, why would Ling Tianyou pay them such high salaries?

Ling Tianyou raised an eyebrow, smiling at Gu Ningyue, "Beg me?"

Gu Ningyue was stunned for a moment, then resolutely turned her head away, "In your dreams!"

She wasn’t curious enough to compromise her dignity for it!

Ling Tianyou pinched her cheek, and Gu Ningyue slapped his hand away with a ’thwack’, "What are you doing!"

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "If you beg me, I’ll tell you the reason behind their salaries and another secret you might be interested in, how about that?"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "A secret I might be interested in?"

The only thing she’s interested in right now is finding out where her master is.

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Trust me, you won’t regret it."

Gu Ningyue skeptically looked at him, "That secret, who is it about?"

Maybe Ling Tianyou’s people had found something new about her master?

Ling Tianyou looked into Gu Ningyue’s beautiful eyes, "About me."

"Ew, no interest," Gu Ningyue turned her head away, not intending to give Ling Tianyou a chance to continue.

How could Ling Tianyou’s secrets be relevant to her? It was surely just a trick.

Or maybe Ling Tianyou mistakenly thought she was like those girls outside who adored him so much and wanted to explore everything about him?

Loving someone means understanding them just enough, to delve too deeply will only breed mutual contempt.

After all, as her master once said, beauty taken to excess inevitably leads to destruction!
