Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 396: Would You Feel Reluctant?

Seeing Lin Ruixian’s rare expression of shock, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but suppress her laughter as she said, "Your brother’s kids are already so grown-up, and you’re still single here. When is it going to end? I have a friend, fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs. Interested? She would be a perfect match for you."

"Mind your own business, don’t worry about mine." Lin Ruixian was clearly displeased, but he didn’t want to lose his temper directly at Gu Ningyue. He just repressed his anger and looked at Gu Ningyue, saying, "I don’t care what you think, but I don’t like others interfering in my affairs."

Gu Ningyue glanced at him lightly and couldn’t help but lower her head and laugh out loud.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Ruixian finally realized something was wrong: "You’re teasing me!"

Gu Ningyue lifted her gaze, her eyes smiling enticingly, "Aren’t you teasing me too? Taking so long to bring me to the agreed place; I was just having fun with you."

Lin Ruixian took a deep breath, "So, you weren’t planning to introduce me to a girlfriend?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, then slowly said, "If you want, it’s not impossible to introduce you, but it depends on whether I have time."

Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue: "That’s good. I hope you won’t meddle too much in the future."

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "Don’t worry, I can satisfy that wish. But, why haven’t you been in a relationship all this time?"

In the café, the music was soothing. Gu Ningyue’s smile seemed calm and serene, yet, inexplicably, this atmosphere made Lin Ruixian feel somewhat nervous.

"Ling Tianyou hasn’t been in a relationship either, right? Why don’t you ask him?" Lin Ruixian did not answer directly but asked rhetorically instead.

Gu Ningyue said, "I did ask him! So now I’m asking you. Why haven’t you found a girlfriend?"

Lin Rui looked down and slowly stirred the coffee in his cup, "Haven’t met someone I like."

Gu Ningyue nodded thoughtfully, "I thought maybe you were waiting for someone."

Ever since she knew that Lin Ruixian liked her, Gu Ningyue didn’t want too much interaction with Lin Ruixian except for necessary contact.

But when she saw Lin Ruixian approaching her at the airport, Gu Ningyue inexplicably hoped he would let go of his feelings for ’Gu Weiwei.’

He had already done so much for her and deserved to seek a better life.

She didn’t know why she had such emotions, but she was steadfast in this belief when she woke up in the morning light today.

Lin Ruixian smiled wryly, "Who am I waiting for?"

Upon hearing the news of Gu Weiwei’s death, he was nearly in utter despair and took a long time to walk out of it.

However, when Gu Ningyue appeared in his world, even though she was entirely different from Gu Weiwei in appearance and demeanor, a sense of hope still rose in his heart.

She was Gu Weiwei, his beloved Gu Weiwei, just residing in another person’s body.

This didn’t affect his feelings for her.

However, why did there have to be a Ling Tianyou by her side?

If he had also been at that banquet back then, would he be the one standing next to Gu Ningyue now?

Even though what Gu Ningyue said before was reasonable, he couldn’t help but wonder about the ’what if.’

It seems that once people miss something, they always want to turn back time.

Even if they can’t do anything, they can’t help but blame themselves for not doing it back then.

Even Lin Ruixian couldn’t avoid this.

Gu Ningyue propped her chin with her jade-like hand, playfully twirling the flowers in the vase with her other hand, "Don’t wait for anyone, have your own life. Because even if the person you are waiting for arrives, they may not necessarily like you."

She wasn’t quite sure about her feelings towards Lin Ruixian—whether they were friends, brothers, or former partners.

But she was very clear that he was different from Ling Tianyou.

She would be moved by Ling Tianyou and even blush when he ’teased’ her.

But she didn’t feel the kind of flutter she felt for Ling Tianyou with Lin Ruixian, even though he also had a face that could dazzle anyone.

It was just a kind of astonishment at his appearance, unrelated to love.

Plus, she couldn’t quite imagine if Lin Ruixian also stole a kiss from her, would she press him to the ground?

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s face, Lin Ruixian felt that there was more to her words: "Why are you suddenly talking to me about this? This isn’t like you."

When Gu Ningyue was with him, they either chatted or discussed serious matters, but issues about emotions—Gu Ningyue seemed to be bringing up for the first time.

"It just came to mind." Of course, Gu Ningyue couldn’t tell him that Tan Evil had already told her his secret, as that would make the atmosphere even more awkward: "Just speaking casually, don’t take it to heart."

Lin Ruixian nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you planning to just stay with Ling Tianyou indefinitely?"

Gu Ningyu’s hand paused while toying with the rose, almost pricking her finger on the thorn: "I haven’t thought about it."

She did think about temporarily leaning on a big backer and then leaving Ling Tianyou when things stabilized.

But now, Gu Ningyue had confirmed she liked Ling Tianyou, and the thought of leaving him didn’t cross her mind anymore.

However, saying this outright to Lin Ruixian seemed a bit cruel?

In any case, he had offended Lu Qingqing for her sake; just for this, she should consider Lin Ruixian’s feelings.

"One day, if you have to leave him, will you choose to stay by his side again because you can’t bear to leave?" Lin Ruixian heard himself asking.

This question lingered in his mind, yet he never had the courage to voice it.

He knew that Gu Ningyue liked Ling Tianyou, but he also knew that this liking wasn’t very deep.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have left Ling Tianyou alone to come to the U country.

But the reluctance at the moment of parting often would make one’s feelings deviate, making one think they truly loved the person in front of them.

Gu Ningyue smiled faintly, "Impossible. If one day I decide to leave, no matter how reluctant I am, I won’t stay."

Lin Ruixian softly responded, "I do hope so. After all, women are all capricious."

"Don’t worry, I won’t." Gu Ningyue picked up her coffee and took a sip: "Besides, I think that if one day I were to leave Ling Tianyou, it would probably be because he wants me to leave."

Coming back from the U country this time, she suspected she might face more than just Ling Tianyou’s wrath.

Perhaps after hearing what she had to say, Ling Tianyou might be the first to ask her to leave that villa.

But it’s okay; she’ll face problems as they come. There’s no use worrying now!
