Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 413: Ensuring Safety

It was rare to be with her master, so Gu Ningyue spent almost the entire day trying to leave a good impression in front of Xia Yingbai, but without appearing too deliberate.

However, no matter how careful she was, Lin Ruixian didn’t miss a chance to tease her, saying that even just sitting there, her gaze at Xia Yingbai was ardent and quite unusual.

Thinking that Gu Ningyue might restrain herself after hearing this, who would have thought she’d give up the pretense altogether and just stick even closer to Xia Yingbai.

Fortunately, they were soon to return to their country, and Gu Ningyue was generous with her money, so as long as her actions weren’t excessive, Xia Yingbai didn’t say much.

Though this was different from Xia Yingbai’s previous demeanor, as long as her master didn’t reject her, Gu Ningyue was happy and didn’t overthink it.

It wasn’t until the day they were packing to leave that Gu Ningyue found time to chat alone with Lin Ruixian, "I’ve thought it through, you shouldn’t be wandering around. Stay here for now; I’ve talked to my master and paid extra. After things are settled, I’ll send word to you so you can return."

Lin Ruixian raised an eyebrow, "Are you afraid I’ll be in danger? How much money did you give your master?"

Gu Ningyue pouted, "I’ve given almost all my cash to my master, just keeping a few hundred for the cab fare."

These are earnings from the X website. Though it’s Xia Yingbai, these days aren’t like before; I don’t have access to quick money as I used to, so it does hurt a bit.

After all, if Ling Tianyou takes back that card he gave me, I wouldn’t even have money for renovations, would I?

"You’re so willing to spend on me?" Lin Ruixian surely knows Gu Ningyue loves money, and now she’s being so generous with him, it makes him a bit happy.

Gu Ningyue gave him a glance, "We’re abroad in unfamiliar places, and my third senior brother isn’t with you, you don’t have reliable friends here. What if something happens? Better stay here!"

Lin Ruixian chuckled, but his words made Gu Ningyue furrow her brow, "If Ling Tianyou knows you’re so concerned about me, I guess the moment I return home, he’d have me torn to pieces!"

Gu Ningyue rolled her eyes at him, "You’re thinking too much. If that day comes, I’d surely end up no better. Wish for something good instead!"

Lin Ruixian suddenly moved closer to Gu Ningyue, "Hey, I’m serious..."

Gu Ningyue stared at Lin Ruixian’s face almost inches away, "What are you doing?"

Lin Ruixian’s handsome, jade-like face suddenly neared, making her heartbeat race even faster.

What’s he trying to do? Why does this feel so strange?

"I’m serious. If, after returning, Ling Tianyou knows you were with me in U-country, why don’t you break the engagement and be with me instead?" Lin Ruixian’s eyes fixed on Gu Ningyue, enchanting even without his abilities, "Ling Tianyou’s family doesn’t suit you. Such a wealthy family has many constraints. Moreover, Ling Tianyou will soon be the chairman of the Ling Family, and as the chairman’s wife, you’ll have to deal with various ladies; would you like that?"

Gu Ningyue quietly moved aside, "Aren’t you also a prince of a wealthy family? What’s the difference? Maybe soon, you’ll be dragged back by your father to manage the family business; the result’s all the same."

Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue, "How is that the same? I have my big brother at home! Even if my dad wants me back, my brother will find ways to keep me away from the family business; you can rest assured on that."

Gu Ningyue was a bit puzzled, "Isn’t your relationship with your brother good? Would your brother harm you for the family business?"

Lin Ruixian chuckled, "Of course, we’re good! But if I don’t want to go back, as long as I mention it to my brother, he definitely won’t force me."

Gu Ningyue stared into Lin Ruixian’s eyes, "Is your relationship with your brother really good?"

If it’s good, then the phone call she overheard long ago, was it a misunderstanding?

She had asked Lin Ruixian about this before, but he’d never answered directly.

As for Lin Ziyue and Lin Ruixian’s relationship, it’s been a mystery up to this point.

Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue, "Do you want to know?"

Gu Ningyue nodded slightly, "Not really, just a bit curious."

Lin Ruixian raised an eyebrow, "Kiss me and I’ll tell you, how about it?"

"Slap," Gu Ningyue smacked Lin Ruixian, "In your dreams!"

Lin Ruixian laughed heartily, "Actually, my brother and I have been great since childhood, but people change. Especially after my brother got married, his wife is respectable, but her family keeps pushing him to fight for more family assets, so now I just don’t bother to go back."

Watching my brother, who grew up with me, slowly change into someone I don’t recognize, is truly not a pleasant thing.

Gu Ningyue sighed, "You see, there’s no difference between your family and the Ling Family. Family feuds, family feuds!"

Lin Ruixian said indifferently, "But I’m free; wherever you want to go, I can take you, without too many concerns."

Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian’s serious gaze, suddenly realizing, "Wait, even if I break the engagement with Ling Tianyou, why do I have to be with you? Can’t I be on my own?"

Moreover, if after breaking up, I end up with Lin Ruixian, knowing Ling Tianyou, we both wouldn’t have a good time!

After all... based on what she’s learned about Ling Tianyou over the months, Gu Ningyue doesn’t think he’s a forgiving person.

"How will you live alone?" Lin Ruixian said leisurely, "Being with me would definitely be easier than being all by yourself."

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "We’ll see then! For now, just think about how we’ll communicate after returning and you won’t have a phone!"

Lin Ruixian replied, "There’s nothing much, just email me if you need anything. I’ve brought my laptop, so I can receive emails."

Gu Ningyue responded, "Sounds good. But... while my master and I are away, be careful. Besides Kai Qi whom Ling Tianyou sent to find me and you, Lu Qingqing’s people seem to have made a move too."

Lin Ruixian looked at Gu Ningyue, "So this is what worries you, that’s why you’re asking me to stay here?"

Gu Ningyue nodded lightly, saying to Lin Ruixian, "Pretty much! Just don’t wander around, at least my master can guarantee your safety here."

Being under someone else’s name, no one can trace it back to Lin Ruixian.

If he goes elsewhere, there’s no guarantee of that.
