Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 326: The Weather Is Quite Nice Today
Silently, he applied the medicine for Gu Ningyue. When he stood up, Ling Tianyou’s tone had unknowingly softened: "Go wash up! You’ve had a long day, get some rest early."
Gu Ningyue nodded gently, feeling inexplicably guilty inside.
This emotion came so inexplicably that she couldn’t make sense of it for a while.
Perhaps, her encounter with Lin Ruixian in Y City was a kind of betrayal to Ling Tianyou.
Even though she did nothing with Lin Ruixian, the secrets she kept from Ling Tianyou left her feeling somewhat less confident facing him.
She got up, took her pajamas, and entered the bathroom. Half an hour later, when she emerged, Ling Tianyou was sitting on a chair wearing glasses, reading a magazine.
Seeing her come out drying her hair, he glanced up at her: "Finished washing?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "You haven’t gone yet?"
Ling Tianyou responded, "No rush, I’m not sleepy yet."
"Oh." Gu Ningyue plugged in the hairdryer, began to blow-dry her hair, and turned to Ling Tianyou asking, "By the way, you left the banquet in a hurry today. What happened?"
Ling Tianyou left for a long time, only returning as the banquet was about to end.
Moreover, he seemed hurried when he returned.
"Nothing, just some trivial things at home, which have been dealt with." Ling Tianyou slightly frowned but soon relaxed.
Gu Ningyue nodded gently, although she didn’t know what had happened at the Ling Family, judging from Ling Tianyou’s expression, it must not be good.
Since he didn’t say, she wouldn’t be so clueless as to ask further.
After her hair dried, Gu Ningyue sat by the bed and looked at Ling Tianyou on the chair saying: "I’m going to sleep."
Ling Tianyou did not raise his head and responded, his eyes only fixed on the magazine in his hands, seemingly missing the hint in Gu Ningyue’s words.
Gu Ningyue was silent for a few seconds and had to speak directly: "Could you go to your own bedroom to read? I can’t sleep with the light on."
Ling Tianyou lifted his eyes lightly at her words: "Bedroom? Isn’t this my bedroom?"
Gu Ningyue was annoyed: "Didn’t Aunt Zhang and the others prepare the guest room? You should stay there!"
Wasn’t this what they had agreed upon before? Is Ling Tianyou going back on his word?
Ling Tianyou put down the magazine and suddenly stood up.
Gu Ningyue instinctively shrank into the blanket: "What are you doing? I’m still injured! You’ve seen it, it’s not healed yet..."
Would Ling Tianyou lose control and force himself on her?
Ling Tianyou smirked slightly, his gaze on Gu Ningyue burning: "Why are you scared? I was just teasing you. Is that so nerve-wracking?"
Gu Ningyue: "...So are you going back to sleep or not?"
Ling Tianyou approached the bed, bent down, and looked at Gu Ningyue under the covers, suddenly lowering his voice: "I can sleep in the guest room. But if I go back now, I might not sleep well. What should I do?"
Gu Ningyue was stunned, then quickly reacted and planted a swift kiss on Ling Tianyou’s lips: "There, all good? Can you go back to sleep now?"
She had basically caught on to Ling Tianyou’s meaning, just wanting to get a little closer to her.
Just a kiss, she wouldn’t be stingy with Ling Tianyou.
Most importantly... She was accustomed to Ling Tianyou taking liberties with her.
Though this habit was quite frightening!
"Just that?" Ling Tianyou licked his lips, seemingly unsatisfied with Gu Ningyue’s swift peck.
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and asked: "What else do you want?"
Ling Tianyou looked at her, seeing her somewhat timid eyes, suddenly leaned down and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, planting a firm kiss on her lips: "That’s more like it!"
Gu Ningyue’s eyes widened: "You! Scoundrel!"
Ling Tianyou wasn’t bothered, and touched her head, his voice slightly hoarse: "Good night."
With that, he didn’t mind Gu Ningyue’s resentful gaze and turned to leave Gu Ningyue’s bedroom.
Watching the door close, Gu Ningyue’s cheeks felt hot.
The nation’s top assassin, consecutively teased like this, if word got out, where would her dignity be?
This couldn’t go on, once her injuries healed...
Forget it, even when healed, she couldn’t do much to Ling Tianyou.
Especially since Ling Tianyou seemed happier if she took the initiative.
Better to sleep first! Maybe in dreams, anything could happen.
Perhaps because so much had happened that day, Gu Ningyue soon fell into a deep sleep.
This time, besides Ling Tianyou, Gu Ningyue dreamt of Chen Rui again.
Gu Ningyue even felt subconsciously that Chen Rui might be the true love, or why would she appear more frequently in dreams than Ling Tianyou?
The dreams were strange and shifting, seeming as if Gu Ningyue was trapped in a giant net, breathing painfully.
Eventually, dawn broke, and when Gu Ningyue slowly opened her eyes, she was finally freed.
The clock on the wall pointed to five, two hours before her alarm was scheduled to ring.
Gu Ningyue exhaled deeply, lying back in bed for a little more sleep.
Just as she lay down, unsure of how long had passed, she heard music sounding near her ears in a haze.
She reached for her phone, and seeing the name on it startled her awake: "Hello? Director Chen?"
From the opposite side of the screen, Director Chen’s voice drifted over: "Miss Gu, good morning."
Gu Ningyue glanced at the time on her phone, she thought she had just been lying down five minutes, but it was already three hours later.
Eight o’clock!
"Good morning, Director Chen." Gu Ningyue suppressed the excitement in her heart, softly asking: "Has that matter finally progressed?"
She knew it was impossible for such things to be leaked, but since Director Chen called today, it must be that the matter could start!
Director Chen didn’t answer, only replied with a laugh, "The weather today is quite nice."
Gu Ningyue instantly understood, "Yes! Such nice weather, really suitable for going out."
Director Chen chuckled: "No need for formality, Miss Gu. If you wish to go out, perhaps you could visit the exhibition center, the scenery there is quite good."
Gu Ningyue smiled knowingly: "Alright, thank you, Director Chen."
Hanging up the phone, Gu Ningyue got up, packed her things, changed clothes, and headed downstairs.
"Young Madam, you’re awake?" Aunt Zhang saw her appear and immediately came up to greet her: "Wait a moment, I’ll prepare you some dishes."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Is Tianyou gone to the company?"
Aunt Zhang replied: "Yes, President Ling left at seven, wanting you to sleep a little longer, so he didn’t let us wake you."
"Oh." Gu Ningyue didn’t mind, casually replied: "That’s quite early!"
Aunt Zhang smiled lightly, turned to the kitchen to fetch the already prepared breakfast.
