Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 509: Don’t You Miss Me?

After chatting with Aunt Zhang for a while and confirming there was nothing left for her to help with, Gu Ningyue returned to the living room.

After some time, Ling Tianyou’s car drove into the villa.

Gu Ningyue was dozing off in front of the TV. Hearing the sound, she immediately sat up and smiled at the slowly approaching Ling Tianyou at the door, "You’re back?"

Ling Tianyou nodded. Every time he returned and saw Gu Ningyue’s smile, he felt his mood improve.

Even back then, when Gu Ningyue was still hiding many things from him, he still felt this way.

Not to mention now that they were genuinely a couple.

"Why are you sleeping here? Isn’t it uncomfortable?" Ling Tianyou casually hung his coat on the hanger and asked, smiling as he looked at the drowsy Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No way, this sofa is way too comfortable."

Ling Tianyou stepped over to Gu Ningyue, sat down beside her, and ruffled her long hair with his hand, "Why don’t you go nap a little more? You could sleep for another forty minutes."

Gu Ningyue was about to shake her head when Ling Tianyou suddenly whispered in her ear, "I can nap with you for a bit."

Gu Ningyue blushed, "You perv! I’m not sleeping."

Ling Tianyou chuckled softly and pinched Gu Ningyue’s cheek, "So cute."

Gu Ningyue pushed his hand away, pouting, "I told you not to call me cute!"

Ling Tianyou suddenly leaned closer to Gu Ningyue, "Then what should I call you? Honey."

The word ’honey’ was delivered with such a magnetic tone that Gu Ningyue’s heart involuntarily skipped a beat.

Gosh, how had she not noticed before how smooth Ling Tianyou could be?

Or perhaps her own resistance was just weak? Gu Ningyue was at a loss for what to do.

She just stared blankly at Ling Tianyou, her eyes becoming a bit flustered, "You, you..."

Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but chuckle, "Didn’t expect the number one assassin in Z Country to be so flustered. Not bad, not bad..."

At this, Gu Ningyue realized this mischievous man was doing it on purpose. He probably just wanted to see her flustered face.

"Hmph!" Gu Ningyue turned her head, deciding to ignore Ling Tianyou.

Seeing her like this, Ling Tianyou’s tone softened, "Are you mad? I was just teasing you, that’s all."

Gu Ningyue didn’t even look at Ling Tianyou, she just hung her head sulking, "You tricked me!"

She had thought that ’honey’ was a spontaneous endearment, but it turned out otherwise!

Ling Tianyou chuckled and put his arm around her shoulder, turning her to face him, "Don’t be mad, I promise there won’t be a next time, okay?"

Gu Ningyue asked Ling Tianyou, "Really? What if there is a next time?"

Ling Tianyou’s handsome face was enough to make anyone dizzy, and his smile made self-control even harder.

Just a bit more and Gu Ningyue might have let Ling Tianyou off the hook due to that smile.

Ling Tianyou thought for a moment, then smiled at Gu Ningyue, "If there is a next time, then whatever you say goes, okay?"

Gu Ningyue nodded and looked at Ling Tianyou, "You said it! If there’s another time, hmph!"

Ling Tianyou’s lips curled slightly into a smile, "Yes, I said it. What did you have for lunch?"

Gu Ningyue told Ling Tianyou about the lunch, then added, "Why don’t you call a few more people over? Aunt Zhang is getting older, and it’s hard for her to clean such a big villa by herself."

Ling Tianyou was momentarily stunned, "No need for that kind of trouble."

Gu Ningyue didn’t understand what he meant, "What?"

Ling Tianyou looked at her and said, "Why don’t you just move back with me? Why stay here?"

Now it was Gu Ningyue’s turn to be slightly stunned. That’s right! Initially, she came here to avoid Ling Tianyou.

Now that their relationship had eased and the misunderstanding was cleared, staying here indeed seemed unnecessary.

Though she had gotten used to living here.

Ling Tianyou’s home wasn’t much different and even more luxurious in some respects, but it always felt like there was more freedom in the air here.

After a moment of silence, Gu Ningyue hesitated and said to Ling Tianyou, "Let’s wait. There are too many people in the villa, and Qianqian’s condition isn’t convenient for that."

Everyone has their own thoughts, and it’s better to be here than to be looked at with colored glasses when it comes to Ji Qianqian.

More importantly, it also allows her more freedom.

Hearing Gu Ningyue’s reasoning, Ling Tianyou understood, although he had sensed something, he didn’t expose it, "Alright, let’s wait until Ji Qianqian leaves then."

Gu Ningyue agreed, "Okay."

Ling Tianyou picked up the juice that Aunt Zhang brought over, and looked at Gu Ningyue, "Today at the company, mom called me."

Gu Ningyue asked, "What did Auntie say?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "After our engagement, mom still hopes you’ll move back with me."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "Didn’t you tell..."

Before she could finish, Ling Tianyou continued, "My mom kept persuading me, I didn’t have the chance. You... still don’t want to move back with me now?"

Gu Ningyue was silent for two seconds before nodding, "Would you be disappointed if I say this?"

Ling Tianyou smiled lightly, "No, I understand you. No one wants to live in a battle zone!"

He clearly saw his father’s dislike towards Gu Ningyue.

He couldn’t change his father’s mind and impose on Gu Ningyue to accept it and change her mindset; no matter how you see it, it was too cruel.

This was his father, and Ling Tianyou deeply felt that it was unreasonable to make someone like Gu Ningyue, without any familial ties, handle his family issues, which even he couldn’t resolve.

Hearing Ling Tianyou’s understanding, Gu Ningyue felt a sense of relief, "That’s good, I was worried you’d be unhappy."

Ling Tianyou smiled, "No, I just want you to be happy."

He deeply understood Gu Ningyue’s feelings, but he didn’t want to be separated from her.

No matter what time it was, he hoped that when he returned home, the first thing he’d see was Gu Ningyue.

As long as she was there, and not an empty villa, all the tiredness from the day would disappear.

This was something even Ling Tianyou didn’t anticipate himself.

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Thank you for understanding me."

"Don’t thank me too soon." Ling Tianyou reached out to caress her pretty face, "Once I move back home, you’ll see me less, won’t you miss me?"

Feeling the warmth of Ling Tianyou’s fingers, Gu Ningyue lowered her head, "I will. But there’s nothing I can do! I..."

Before she could finish, her delicate chin was lifted, and before she could react, a deep kiss was pressed against her lips...
