Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 429: What Do You Want to Say

As night fell, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed, thinking about past events, unable to sleep.

Time drifted away slowly, second by second, and Ling Tianyou suddenly turned over and wrapped his arms around Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue’s body stiffened slightly and turned her head to look at Ling Tianyou. In the scarce moonlight, his profile was nearly flawless.

Yet his handsome brows were furrowed for reasons unknown.

It seemed that he too carried many burdens in his heart.

Indeed, with Tianze in rehab, his parents needing solace, and the company requiring Ling Tianyou,

even she herself hadn’t provided him any peace of mind.

Gu Ningyue slowly turned over too, lying face to face with Ling Tianyou.

Her delicate fingers gently rested on Ling Tianyou’s brows, trying to smooth away all his worries as she softly stroked his brows.

Perhaps feeling the warmth of her fingertips, Ling Tianyou suddenly tightened his grip, pulling her entirely into his embrace.

Gu Ningyue was momentarily stunned — was he asleep or not?

She gazed at Ling Tianyou’s face for a while; seeing him still with his eyes closed and no reaction, Gu Ningyue sighed and could only lean against Ling Tianyou without moving.

Perhaps his body was too warm, and the sleep-deprived Gu Ningyue unexpectedly fell into a dream shortly after.

The next day, as Gu Ningyue opened her eyes, sunlight was already spilling onto the bed.

Yet beside her, Ling Tianyou was nowhere to be found.

She glanced at the time on the wall; it was just seven thirty in the morning. What time did Ling Tianyou get up? Leaving so early?

As she prepared to get up, she turned her head and saw the note on the side table, weighed down underneath.

"Good morning, remember to have breakfast."

Gu Ningyue’s lips curled into a smile involuntarily, it seemed that losing her phone wasn’t entirely a disadvantage.

She called the servants to clean the room and turned to her own bedroom to freshen up before changing clothes and heading downstairs: "Aunt Zhang, good morning."

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "Young Madam, good morning. The milk is perfectly warm, you can have breakfast now."

Gu Ningyue nodded and sat at the dining table to start her breakfast: "Aunt Zhang, during the days I wasn’t here, did President Ling attend any gatherings?"

News of her being away from A City should have reached Chen Rui a long time ago, right?

Wouldn’t Chen Rui seize such a good opportunity?

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment: "Not as far as I know. During the period Young Madam wasn’t here, President Ling came home right after work; I didn’t see him go out."

Gu Ningyue responded: "Got it."

After finishing her breakfast, Gu Ningyue went upstairs and turned on the computer.

The X site was still down, The Gate of Hell couldn’t be accessed, and it seemed there weren’t any clues at the moment.

Her inbox contained a few spam emails; Lin Ruixian hadn’t sent any messages.

Gu Ningyue pondered for a while, asked Aunt Zhang to bring in a glass of juice, and re-entered the X site address to begin investigating the specific cause of its outage.

But strangely, even she had no idea what was going on.

After mulling it over, Gu Ningyue actively sent an email to Lin Ruixian: "The X site is still down. Cause unknown. Can you ask my mentor if she has any clues?"

A few minutes later, Lin Ruixian emailed back: "Sure, but why don’t you ask directly? Might increase your mentor’s goodwill towards you."

Gu Ningyue didn’t answer his question, simply saying: "Then I’ll wait for your update."

Lin Ruixian: "Alright."

After shutting off the computer, Gu Ningyue felt it was a bit inconvenient, took her coat downstairs, greeted Aunt Zhang, and went out.

Buying a phone, replacing the SIM card, downloading the necessary apps, and once back home, her phone suddenly received a message from an unfamiliar number: "Miss Gu, regarding the matter you mentioned last time, I want to discuss it further with you."

Looking at the string of numbers, Gu Ningyue already knew who sent the message.

It seemed Li Jing had made up his mind.

"The day after tomorrow at two thirty in the afternoon, let’s meet at the café next to the hospital."

Li Jing replied: "Alright."

Although unsure of what exactly Li Jing wanted to discuss, Gu Ningyue still felt that this matter should be handled cautiously. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

However, possibly because she had already explained everything to Ling Tianyou, Gu Ningyue wasn’t feeling weighed down as before, sitting leisurely on the sofa watching TV and waiting for Ling Tianyou to come back.

Finally, at four in the afternoon, the sound of a car entering from the villa’s entrance could be heard.

Moments later, Gu Ningyue saw Ling Tianyou walking in from outside with the light behind him, her lips curling into a smile: "Home?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, didn’t bother removing his coat, and sat next to Gu Ningyue: "Missed me?"

Gu Ningyue glanced at him: "Guess?"

Knowing she was shy, Ling Tianyou didn’t pursue the question and simply said: "I’ll rest for a bit. There’s been a pile of work at the company today, feeling a bit tired."

Gu Ningyue observed Ling Tianyou’s weary look, hesitated for two seconds, then said: "Want me to massage your head? I used to do that for my mentor a lot."

Ling Tianyou nodded and slowly lay down on the sofa.

Gu Ningyue’s finger pressure was just right, and not long after, Ling Tianyou felt his entire body gradually relaxing.

Even he, who had been having sleep issues recently, found himself feeling drowsy.

"Is the pressure okay?" Gu Ningyue asked gently.

Ling Tianyou comfortably closed his eyes: "It’s great. Your mentor is really lucky!"

Gu Ningyue chuckled: "From now on, anytime you’re tired, let me know and I’ll massage you."

Though not comparable to professional techniques, having massaged her mentor for so many years, she was quite confident in herself.

Ling Tianyou nodded: "Okay."

As long as Gu Ningyue was willing to care for him, he felt content.

"If you’re tired, take a nap!" Gu Ningyue said softly. "It’s alright, we can go out after dinner."

Ling Tianyou said: "It’s alright. I’ll be fine after a short rest. Won’t delay anything!"

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a while but still didn’t tell Ling Tianyou about Jin Chenglong.

Sigh, why is it so hard to find an opportunity?

Perhaps sensing Gu Ningyue’s concerns, Ling Tianyou suddenly asked: "What’s wrong? Is there something you want to say?"

"Nothing, I need to visit the hospital the day after tomorrow," Gu Ningyue ultimately didn’t mention it. "Gu Wanwan suddenly went mad; I find the doctor who has been caring for her a bit suspicious, so I want to check it out. That doctor surely has someone backing him."

Ling Tianyou opened his eyes, looking at Gu Ningyue leaning against the sofa, smiling as he asked: "Don’t tell me you’re going to help Gu Wanwan."
