Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 325: The Price

After getting in Ling Tianyou’s car, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but recall Chen Rui’s gaze just now. She looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "Chen Rui definitely likes you a lot. Aren’t you going to consider it?"

Ling Tianyou turned his head slightly to glance at her, "Consider what? Consider breaking up with you, or consider sending you for a craniotomy to see what’s going on in your head?"

"I was just saying it casually. Didn’t you see Chen Rui’s gaze just now? It was almost as if she wanted to eat someone." Gu Ningyue looked aggrieved, "I’m a little scared."

Ling Tianyou scoffed, clearly not believing her words, "You’re scared?"

Since the day he took this girl away from the birthday party, it seemed he hadn’t found the word ’fear’ in Gu Ningyue’s dictionary.

Today, with just some provocation from Chen Rui, Gu Ningyue actually said she was scared?

If he believed that, then there must really be something wrong.

Gu Ningyue pouted, "I wouldn’t mind with someone else, but she’s the eldest daughter of the Chen Family. I can’t afford to provoke the Chen Family behind her."

Ling Tianyou started the car, glanced at Gu Ningyue, and said, "You have the Ling Family behind you; what are you afraid of? No matter what happens, I’ll always stand by your side."

This was a promise he made to Gu Ningyue, as well as to himself.

Gu Ningyue had no family, so he naturally had to protect his little girl.

"But your dad doesn’t like me. Who knows when he’ll accept me?" Gu Ningyue was not confident about this. Even though when visiting the Ling Family, Ling Tianyou’s father was all preoccupied with Ling Tianze and had no time for her, judging from how Ling Tianyou came out from the study and left with her directly, the father and son must have had another argument!

At that time, it didn’t feel like much, but thinking back, the situation was probably not very optimistic.

But the Ling Family was really strange. They looked down on her, yet agreed to let her have dinner there. She really didn’t understand what they were thinking.

"You don’t need to worry about these things. You’re marrying me; their opinions don’t matter." Ling Tianyou said this and added, "I don’t care either."

All his life, he had been a good son, a good brother, a good heir. Now it was time for him to make his own choices.

After all, if a person’s life is always orderly without a single rebellious phase, it would be too pitiable!

Gu Ningyue saw his unwavering demeanor and, somehow, really believed what he said.

This was clearly something difficult to achieve just by thinking about it, but at this moment, Gu Ningyue felt a strange trust in Ling Tianyou’s words.

"I hope you’ll follow through," Gu Ningyue pondered for a moment and looked at Ling Tianyou, "Don’t disappoint me."

Ling Tianyou raised the corners of his mouth, "Of course."

They drove all the way back to Gu Ningyue’s villa. As soon as they entered, Gu Ningyue heard Aunt Zhang’s greeting.

The villa, which had been empty for a long time, suddenly had a voice, startling Gu Ningyue.

If she hadn’t reacted quickly, she might have almost taken action. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Not used to having people at home?" Ling Tianyou looked at her and asked.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, I just suddenly forgot Aunt Zhang and the others were over."

Ling Tianyou reached out and touched her head, "Did you eat enough at the banquet? Do you want Aunt Zhang to prepare some more food?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head. She didn’t know since when she had gotten used to Ling Tianyou’s intimate actions like this.

"No need, I’ll go upstairs to change my dressing first." Gu Ningyue thought about the glass of fruit wine she had at night. Her wound was almost healed, and a small amount of low-alcohol fruit wine should be fine!

Thankfully, Ling Tianyou didn’t seem to notice anything wrong, or he would’ve definitely clung to this issue, wouldn’t he?

Ever since she got injured, Ling Tianyou had been quite attentive to this aspect.

"Wait!" Ling Tianyou grabbed her wrist, "You secretly drank fruit wine with your injury, and you think I won’t say anything and just let it go? Hmm?"

Gu Ningyue’s face turned awkward, knowing she had been caught.

"I just wanted to taste the flavor and only had one glass. The wound is totally fine." Gu Ningyue chuckled awkwardly and looked at Ling Tianyou, "It’s so late, I’ll go upstairs to change my dressing, okay? Let go."

Ling Tianyou looked at her with a faint smile, not loosening his grip at all. When would this girl finally learn her lesson?

Gu Ningyue sighed, realizing she might not get away without paying some price.

So, with her eyes tightly shut, she boldly stood on tiptoe and left a kiss on the corner of Ling Tianyou’s mouth, "Look, don’t be mad. Let go of me first, so I can get inside and apply the medicine, alright?"

Gu Ningyue’s voice was intentionally very gentle. Ling Tianyou’s eyes flickered, unsure if it was because of her voice or the sudden kiss, "I’ll help you apply it."

Before the words settled, and before Gu Ningyue could refuse, Ling Tianyou had already picked her up horizontally and headed to the bedroom under the watchful eyes of Aunt Zhang and the servants.

Gu Ningyue’s heart was pounding, realizing her actions just now had been a mistake.

But what was up with Ling Tianyou! He was indifferent to a stunning beauty like Chen Rui, yet with her, he acted completely differently.

What was going on?

As the door closed, Gu Ningyue finally came to her senses, "Ling Tianyou, put me down. I can apply the medicine myself; what are you doing!"

Ling Tianyou paused his steps, standing still in the room, "What did you call me? Say it again."

His voice was calm as water, but Gu Ningyue almost chickened out immediately, "You, you heard it wrong. I called you Tianyou..."

Ling Tianyou looked at the girl in his arms with a faint smile, "Really?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Of, of course."

Ugh, why was she stuttering?

Ling Tianyou said nothing more, just walked to the bed and gently placed Gu Ningyue in the middle, "Don’t move, I’ll get the medicine."

Gu Ningyue slowly sat up and looked at Ling Tianyou, "Let me do it myself. It’s really alright."

Ling Tianyou turned around with a determined look in his eyes, "Lie down!"

Seeing his posture, Gu Ningyue could only reluctantly lie back down.

Had I known this would happen, I wouldn’t have been so greedy and taken that glass of fruit wine.

Sigh! Hoisting my own petard, she thought to herself, experiencing it firsthand today.

Soon, Ling Tianyou placed the medicine by the bedside, then skillfully removed the bandage covering Gu Ningyue’s wound.

Looking at the hideous wound, though it was about to scab over, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but frown.

The wound was so deep; just thinking about it made him feel pain.

This girl, she had been hiding it from him all along.

Every time he thought about it, anger would surge, but more than that, he felt heartache!
