Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 397: Finally Seeing Her

The time gradually slipped away, after finishing a cup of coffee, Lin Ruixian glanced at the time, slowly stood up and said to Gu Ningyue, "Let’s go! It’s time to head over."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but let a bright smile grace her lips, "Okay."

After waiting for so long, the moment has finally arrived.

After settling the bill, they passed through the bustling crowd and at the instant they pushed open the restaurant door, Gu Ningyue’s heart raced as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

This restaurant was her mentor’s favorite type, stepping into a private room, Gu Ningyue’s gaze landed on the woman in the red dress.

Under the bright lights, Xia Yingbai seemed like a blooming red rose, so dazzling that it made one want to shed tears.

Mentor... she finally sees her!

Gu Ningyue’s fingers tightly clenched her fists, suppressing a deep excitement on her beautiful face.

Lin Ruixian turned his head and glanced at her, the meaning in his eyes was clear.

Gu Ningyue tried hard to stabilize her emotions; this was her first time meeting her mentor using her Gu Ningyue identity, she had to make a good impression.

"Teacher Xia." Lin Ruixian walked to the table, pulled out a chair, and then introduced Gu Ningyue to Xia Yingbai, "This is the friend I mentioned to you."

Although having left the organization long ago, Xia Yingbai was no longer his leader, but he still held great respect for her.

After all, before someone who could train the number one assassin in the country, no matter how exceptional one’s abilities are, one would hesitate to be too defiant.

Gu Ningyue nodded slightly, "Teacher Xia, hello, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Xia Yingbai turned her beautiful eyes, her gaze landing on the young girl.

She wore a lace dress, her curvy figure highlighted her elegance even more.

A delicate, collagen-rich face that held both purity and allure, especially those eyes, as if they could speak and were gazing at you.

She seemed like a very spirited child.

But the way she looked at her, why was it so... intense?

As if she was looking at a long-lost lover, making her skin erupt in goosebumps.

This girl, does she really have mental issues?

"Miss Gu, right? I’ve heard Lin Rui mention you quite a bit." Xia Yingbai responded, then called the waiter, "You can order now."

Lin Ruixian sat next to Gu Ningyue, while Xia Yingbai was ordering, he lowered his head and whispered to her, "Can you relax a bit? Don’t be so tense, okay?"

It’s really strange; just sitting there without speaking, he could feel Gu Ningyue’s repressed emotions.

Gu Ningyue lowered her voice, "I’m already trying very hard to restrain myself."

If it weren’t for her current identity, she would have rushed towards her mentor earlier.

Now, the person she yearned for was in front of her, even she, who was always good at disguising her emotions, couldn’t resist the turmoil inside.

Lin Ruixian sighed, wishing that Gu Ningyue could be as excited to see him.

Oh well, luckily Xia Yingbai was a woman...

"I’ve finished ordering, Miss Gu, would you like to see?" Xia Yingbai’s fair arm extended the menu towards Gu Ningyue, who paused, her mentor wanted her to order?

Unable to hold back, a brilliant smile spread across her lips, "Sure!"

With that agreement, the jubilant expression became even more pronounced.

Xia Yingbai couldn’t help but glance at Lin Ruixian, her brows furrowed slightly then relaxed, "Lin Rui, are you planning to return to China with Miss Gu?"

Lin Ruixian responded, "Yes! What about you, Teacher Xia? Aren’t you going back?"

Xia Yingbai didn’t say anything, seemingly contemplating the matter.

Gu Ningyue finished ordering and handed the menu to Lin Ruixian.

This restaurant was popular, especially at this dining hour; many people were out to eat, so even menus were a bit scarce.

At any table, regardless of the number of people, they could only use one menu.

Lin Ruixian took this opportunity, hiding half his face behind the menu, continued to whisper to Gu Ningyue, "How’s your alcohol tolerance? Your mentor ordered two bottles of 1988 French red wine."

He had never drank red wine with Gu Ningyue before, and judging by the previous time they had beer, her alcohol tolerance might not be as good as before, but... what if that was a mistake?

Gu Ningyue froze, she was so caught up in her happiness, she hadn’t paid attention to what her mentor actually ordered.

Upon hearing Lin Ruixian say that, she couldn’t help a trace of panic flashing in her eyes, "This body usually doesn’t touch alcohol, it’s no good!"

The last time drinking with Lin Ruixian, he already coaxed out words from her; if this time her mentor asked something again, wouldn’t she... really be considered crazy?

After all, her mentor had always been a staunch atheist!

Lin Ruixian glanced at the menu while naming two dishes, pretending to keep looking as he quietly said to Gu Ningyue, "Then later just say you’re allergic to alcohol, can’t drink, and don’t try to force it."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "I was thinking the same."

Reaching a consensus with Gu Ningyue, Lin Ruixian finally concentrated on ordering the dishes he wanted.

"Okay, that’s it!"

The waiter responded, repeated the items ordered by the three of them, ensured no errors, and then turned to leave.

With the waiter gone, the atmosphere among the three became peculiar once again,

Xia Yingbai looked at Gu Ningyue, "I heard Miss Gu is engaged to President Ling of the Ling Family, but this time Miss Gu went alone to the U.S., President Ling should be quite worried, right?"

As she said this, she glanced at Lin Ruixian.

That look, as if she was imagining a scene from a dramatic TV series.

"Not really. I’ll be going back in a few days, there’s not much to worry about." Gu Ningyue said.

Though she said that, the recent intercepted unknown devices displayed on her phone clearly show Ling Tianyou’s dissatisfaction with her actions.

"Really?" Xia Yingbai’s lips curved slightly, her eyes carrying a charm different from Gu Ningyue’s youthful clarity, a charm seasoned by years of experience, "Miss Gu is very lucky, the most important thing between partners is trust."

Gu Ningyue felt a bit guilty being watched, instinctively lowering her eyes.

Lin Ruixian coughed, "Teacher Xia, have you contacted Teacher Shangguan yet? Now that Ning Yue is here, feel free to ask if you have any requests. She will eagerly serve Teacher Xia."

The last sentence wasn’t just courtesy, seeing Gu Ningyue’s demeanor, even if asked to die for Xia Yingbai, Gu Ningyue wouldn’t refuse.

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter arrived with the two bottles of 1988 French red wine, "Hello, would you like to open them now?"

"Yes." Xia Yingbai nodded, "Open them now!"
