Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 341: If You Want Something Done Right, Do It Yourself
Realizing that even if the man in front of her changed into clothes similar to Lin Ruixian’s, he could never become that refined and gentle type, Gu Ningyue obediently sat at the table and finished the ginger soup that had been left there.
"Aunt Zhang, what did you make for lunch?" Ling Tianyou asked Aunt Zhang slowly while sipping from the bowl.
Aunt Zhang reported today’s lunch menu, looked at the two respectfully, and asked: "President Ling, Young Madam, is there anything else you need?"
Ling Tianyou shook his head and looked at Gu Ningyue: "Is there anything you don’t want to eat? You can change it."
Gu Ningyue also shook her head: "No, just leave it as it is!"
Aunt Zhang responded and retreated, shortly after returning with the servants to bring the dishes.
Gu Ningyue ate while browsing her phone.
Ling Tianyou occasionally glanced at Gu Ningyue but said nothing.
The buzz on the forum had risen a few notches since yesterday, and the replies under her account now included a few different voices.
Without sympathy or suspicion, they merely expressed their own opinions.
Gu Ningyue found these far more interesting than those sappy replies.
"What are you reading that makes you laugh so happily?" Ling Tianyou asked, unable to resist when he saw Gu Ningyue laughing heartily.
Gu Ningyue waved her phone, smiling brightly: "I’m reading the netizens’ analysis on the forum. Someone said my mental state was due to a curse Ye Mingchen and Gu Wanwan put on me, making me act strangely before. They say the root cause lies in the Gu Family’s villa, and I’ve returned to normal after leaving that place."
Ling Tianyou was taken aback, then smiled: "Ridiculous things!"
In this age, people still attribute things to ghosts and gods.
Gu Ningyue laughed and said: "There are even more outrageous ones. Some say Gu Wanwan invited a monk to switch destinies with me, which is why she shone so brightly over the years. Now, having done something unjust, she’s suffering backlash. It’s a shame these people aren’t writing novels!"
Because their writings were so vivid, the comments had nearly a hundred replies.
A group of people fancifully theorizing in this post, unaware that she, the subject, was reading and laughing at their comments.
"You don’t seem to care about others’ opinions at all?" Ling Tianyou suddenly asked, seeing Gu Ningyue’s indifferent expression.
Gu Ningyue ate while watching with interest: "I do care! Just not about the opinions of strangers."
Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue suddenly looked up at Ling Tianyou and asked: "About ghosts and things like that, you don’t believe in them at all?"
Ling Tianyou shook his head: "I don’t believe, but I respect."
As there’s always a deity watching over us, it’s best to avoid unjust deeds.
Gu Ningyue nodded, probing: "Then what if I tell you I’m really not Gu Ningyue? Hahaha..."
Ling Tianyou glanced at her: "Even if you aren’t, I’d still marry you. As long as you’re still yourself!"
This seemingly plain sentence inexplicably warmed Gu Ningyue’s heart.
"Would you still like me even if I had a different appearance?"
Ling Tianyou nodded deeply: "Of course, I like you because you are you, unrelated to your appearance."
If someone else said this to her, Gu Ningyue would likely show a disdainful smile.
But hearing it from Ling Tianyou was strangely convincing.
No matter his family or looks, Ling Tianyou stood at the pinnacle.
Countless beauties fancied him, even someone as charming as Chen Rui had a soft spot for Ling Tianyou, showing just how many chances he had to choose again.
Even though Gu Ningyue was still looking at her phone screen, she couldn’t focus on a single word.
This wasn’t the first time Ling Tianyou said he liked her, but this time was the most heart-fluttering.
After lunch, Ling Tianyou went to the study for something, and Gu Ningyue went upstairs to rest.
Although the rain outside had lessened, it showed no sign of stopping.
Listening to the drizzle, Gu Ningyue soon fell asleep.
She slept until two in the afternoon, when a crisp knocking woke her from her dreams.
"Ning Yue, it’s time to get up."
Gu Ningyue groggily got up to open the door. Seeing her sleepy face, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but pinch her cheek: "Go wash your face, the rain’s stopped, we should go!"
Gu Ningyue swatted his hand away, "You pinched my face again."
Ling Tianyou chuckled: "Alright, no more pinching. I’ll wait downstairs."
Gu Ningyue nodded, turned, and went to the bathroom to wash her face, then tidied her clothes.
Just about to step out, Gu Ningyue paused, returned to check her wounds: "Good thing, I shouldn’t be as bad as last time if a fight breaks out now!"
She retrieved the dagger made last time in Y City and concealed it under her clothes before heading downstairs.
Ling Tianyou was just receiving a coat from Aunt Zhang and putting it on: "Ready? Let’s go!"
Gu Ningyue nodded, and followed Ling Tianyou into the car.
After fastening her seatbelt, she looked at Ling Tianyou’s calm demeanor and asked: "Aren’t you calling your men ahead of time?"
Ling Tianyou smiled and said: "What, scared? Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything."
Though Gu Ningyue trusted Ling Tianyou in this matter, she still felt uneasy compared to the meticulous arrangements in the organization: "How many people did you bring?"
Ling Tianyou intentionally teased: "Guess?"
Recalling her days in the organization, Gu Ningyue hesitantly asked: "Thirty?"
Ling Tianyou didn’t answer, but a small smile appeared on his lips.
Gu Ningyue asked: "No less than that, right?"
Ling Tianyou turned to look at her: "All my men are elites, handling five each is no problem. Even if the opponent has brought fifty, you don’t need to worry."
Gu Ningyue: "..." Indeed, relying on oneself is better.
It seems Ling Tianyou knows nothing about Nan Shaoyue! In that case, I’ll rely on myself!
"What’s wrong?" Ling Tianyou asked softly, looking at Gu Ningyue’s worried expression.
Gu Ningyue shook her head, thinking about Ling Tianze’s demeanor in the morning: "It’s nothing, just park nearby later. I fear Nan Shaoyue might have also set an ambush; it wouldn’t be good if he sees your car."
This matter has nothing to do with Ling Tianyou, and Gu Ningyue didn’t want Ling Tianyou trapped before negotiations even started.
Ling Tianyou gave a faint smile: "Do I look that useless?"
