Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 503: Settling into Tranquility

Gu Ningyue nestled in Ling Tianyou’s embrace, her fingers gently caressing his back, "We could adopt one, raise it as our own child..."

Ling Tianyou looked slightly stunned, probably not expecting Gu Ningyue to say such words. After a pause, he said to Gu Ningyue, "Alright! Isn’t the eldest son of the Lin Family adopted? As long as you’re happy, I’ll find a way to persuade my parents."

Thinking of Ling Chengyang’s reaction today, Gu Ningyue realized that if Ling Tianyou really discussed this matter with him, things would definitely not go well in the future.

Moreover, it’s quite likely that after Ling Tianyou mentions this, he would be kicked out of the villa by Ling Chengyang.

In the worst scenario, Ling Chengyang might even end up in the hospital from rage.

Thinking about this, Gu Ningyue began to feel sympathy for Ling Tianyou.

But enduring childbirth pain just because of this sympathy was still unbearable for her.

Sighing softly, Gu Ningyue hugged Ling Tianyou around the waist, "Don’t think about it. We’ll talk about it when the time comes! Maybe one day I’ll suddenly stop being scared, who knows..."

Although the probability is very small, it’s not entirely impossible.

After all, people should have dreams!

Ling Tianyou pressed a kiss onto Gu Ningyue’s forehead, "Alright, sleep. Goodnight."

Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised; was Ling Tianyou really so well-behaved? Would he just sleep without doing anything?

Though the result wasn’t bad, Gu Ningyue was still a bit curious — didn’t Ling Tianyou tease her?

She wriggled twice in Ling Tianyou’s arms, trying to find a comfortable position. Ling Tianyou’s slightly hoarse voice came from above, "Are you trying to tempt me?"

Gu Ningyue blinked: "No!"

"Then don’t move around, sleep quietly!" Ling Tianyou said faintly, "Otherwise, I can’t promise what I’ll do."

Gu Ningyue’s face turned slightly red, not daring to move anymore: "Goodnight, I’m sleeping!!!"

Ling Tianyou’s lips curved into a smile, his arms around Gu Ningyue tightened a bit more.

This was probably the best night’s sleep the two had; Ling Tianyou’s worries were resolved, and next month Gu Ningyue would walk towards him in her dress.

Though he wished for it to be a wedding next month, it didn’t matter; he was looking forward to the engagement party too.

As long as it was the future with Gu Ningyue, he was looking forward to it.

Of course, this was provided no third person interfered.

Soon, after Jin Chenglong’s matter was resolved, he would take Gu Ningyue out for a stroll.

Visit the places both he and Gu Ningyue wanted to go, he wanted to create beautiful memories that belonged only to them.

As the morning light filtered through the cracks of the curtains, Gu Ningyue slowly opened her eyes.

She and Ling Tianyou were tightly embraced, her head resting on Ling Tianyou’s chest, where there was a pleasant scent.

It was like the cold morning dew, or the leaves wrapped in chill from the previous night; Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but nestle closer into his arms.

"Awake?" A familiar voice came, but Gu Ningyue just shook her head lightly without answering.

Ling Tianyou chuckled softly and touched her long hair, "Sleep a bit longer, it’s still early."

Gu Ningyue replied with a nasal sound, "Mm..."

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "I’ll lie down for a little longer before going to the company, don’t miss me too much."

Gu Ningyue mumbled upon hearing this, "I won’t miss you at all!"

This person, starting like this early in the morning.

Ling Tianyou paused his hand that was stroking Gu Ningyue’s hair, then kissed her forehead, "I’ll miss you."

Gu Ningyue blushed, couldn’t resist looking up at Ling Tianyou, "You’re so cheesy!"

Ling Tianyou showed a charming smile, "It’s my own wife, what’s wrong with saying sweet words?"

Gu Ningyue huffed softly, "We haven’t gotten the marriage certificate yet, we’re still free."

Ling Tianyou raised a hand and pinched her face, "What did you say? Say it again?"

Seeing Ling Tianyou’s teasing expression, Gu Ningyue instantly chickened out, "No, I didn’t say anything. You heard wrong, hehe..."

Ling Tianyou’s eyes stared at Gu Ningyue, "Really? You didn’t say we are free? I heard wrong?"

Gu Ningyue quickly hugged Ling Tianyou’s back, admitting her mistake, "I’m still half asleep, my mind isn’t clear. Please be generous and don’t mind me!"

"Alright!" Ling Tianyou took advantage: "Kiss me and call me hubby, then I won’t hold it against you. How about that?"

Gu Ningyue: "..." Fine, so he was waiting for her here!

Gu Ningyue hesitated for quite a while before raising her head and kissed Ling Tianyou’s handsome face: "Hubby, please forgive me! I didn’t mean it."

Seeing Gu Ningyue being so obedient, Ling Tianyou didn’t make things difficult for her: "Good girl! Say it a few more times next time."

Gu Ningyue: "..."

After lying in bed for a while longer, Ling Tianyou glanced at the clock on the wall and then at Gu Ningyue in his arms, reluctantly got up: "I have to go to the company, if you’re tired, just sleep a bit more."

He suddenly understood what ’from now on the king doesn’t attend morning meetings’ meant, having Gu Ningyue around made him never want to get up in the morning.

This kind of thing was unprecedented for him.

With the warmth beside her suddenly gone, Gu Ningyue thought for a moment before sitting up herself: "I’ll get up too, need to ask Lu Qingqing when she’s available."

Saying out loud that with him not around, she lost the desire to continue lying down made her feel embarrassed.

The two washed and went downstairs together, Aunt Zhang saw them coming out from Gu Ningyue’s bedroom, immediately breaking into a knowing smile.

Gu Ningyue was now all too familiar with this smile. She had explained before to no avail, so now she simply chose not to say more.

They had breakfast together, and Gu Ningyue drove Ling Tianyou to the company.

Watching Ling Tianyou leave, Gu Ningyue still felt a bit reluctant.

Aunt Zhang came over, looking at Gu Ningyue by the door said, "Young Madam, it’s cold now, don’t let the wind chill you!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Mm."

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ningyue, "Speaking of which, I’ve been looking after President Ling for many years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen President Ling with the expression he just had!"

Gu Ningyue was stunned, "Just now? What expression did Ling Tianyou have?"

Aunt Zhang smiled, "Very reliant, Young Madam probably didn’t notice! Someone as independent as President Ling has never shown such emotion towards anyone."

Gu Ningyue looked at Aunt Zhang, "That’s probably how it is in love, but it might become flat later on..." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Aunt Zhang fell silent, internally disagreeing with this thought.
