Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 524: She Will Consider It

Maybe it was because Ji Qianqian’s smile was too bright that Gu Ningyue’s originally indifferent mood suddenly became cheerful.

Ji Qianqian was wearing a red silk dress, her fair skin as delicate as porcelain, making the rose-like color even more mouth-watering.

It was noon, and the brilliant sunlight streamed through the glass window, illuminating Ji Qianqian, making her look stunningly beautiful.

At such a young age, she’s already so beautiful. I wonder which family’s young master will be lucky enough to marry Ji Qianqian in the future.

Of course, that’s assuming Ji Qianqian has returned to normal.

Otherwise, Gu Ningyue always felt that such a beauty without even the ability to protect herself could only be ’a fish on the chopping block’.

Gu Ningyue slowly approached Ji Qianqian, gently touching her long hair: "When did you come, Qianqian? Have you been waiting long?"

Ji Qianqian looked up, her smile unabated: "Yes, sister! Sister Qingqing brought me over at nine o’clock, sister is such a little lazy pig! Hehe..."

Gu Ningyue smiled: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Ji Qianqian tilted her head thoughtfully and mentioned a few dish names. After listening, Gu Ningyue called Aunt Zhang over and relayed two of the dishes Ji Qianqian wanted.

Aunt Zhang acknowledged and went to the kitchen.

After taking a few steps, Gu Ningyue’s voice rang out again: "Hey, Aunt Zhang, wait a minute!"

Aunt Zhang turned around, "Does Young Madam have any other instructions?"

Gu Ningyue looked at her: "Didn’t President Ling call someone to help? Why is it only you, Aunt Zhang?"

"President Ling did call someone over, but I just sent them to buy some necessary items." Aunt Zhang glanced at the time, "They should be back soon."

Gu Ningyue felt relieved upon hearing this: "That’s good. If you need help, just call me, Aunt Zhang!"

Aunt Zhang acknowledged, but how could she really dare to ask Gu Ningyue to help in the kitchen? After all, this was the Young Madam of the Ling Family!

Gu Ningyue led Ji Qianqian to the sofa and turned on the TV: "Sister will watch TV with you, Qianqian, okay? It’ll be a while before the food is ready."

As she spoke, Gu Ningyue’s stomach embarrassingly growled twice.

Ji Qianqian covered her mouth and giggled, "Sister’s tummy is growling!"

Gu Ningyue asked Aunt Zhang to bring some snacks as appetizers, then found a cartoon for Ji Qianqian to watch.

The two of them sat on the sofa against the light, resembling two twin flowers, simply pleasing to the eye.

"Sister, eat this, it’s delicious!"

Ji Qianqian held snacks in both hands and didn’t forget to give a piece to Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue always felt that even Ji Qianqian’s casual actions were warm. Every time she saw Ji Qianqian, she felt her motherly glow was especially radiant.

"Qianqian, don’t eat too much! Lunch will be soon, and it’s all dishes you like." Gu Ningyue smiled gently at Ji Qianqian, "If you eat too much now, you won’t be able to eat later."

Ji Qianqian took a bite of the snack in her hand, her smile sweet, somewhat mismatched with her exquisite beauty: "No, Qianqian can eat. Sister Qingqing always says that I’ll turn into a little fat pig in the future, hehe..."

Looking at Ji Qianqian’s distinct collarbones, such a fragile, Lin Daiyu-like figure, no matter how much she eats, she wouldn’t turn into a little fat pig!

Compared to Ji Qianqian, even her own body seemed a bit chunky now!

No, even back when she was slender, she couldn’t compare to Ji Qianqian.

"Did Sister Qingqing say anything when she dropped you off?" Gu Ningyue paused for a while and asked.

Ji Qianqian was engrossed in watching the cartoon. After hearing Gu Ningyue’s question, she thought for a moment and said: "Nothing special! Just said that I should stay with sister for a while, and when my illness is better, sister will take me back!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, placed the unfinished snack on the table, grabbed a couple of tissues to wipe her hands, "Keep watching, Qianqian! I’ll go check if the food is ready!"

Ji Qianqian nodded, her eyes glued to the TV, not paying any attention to Gu Ningyue’s actions.

Gu Ningyue stood up and went to the kitchen: "Aunt Zhang, can you manage?"

Aunt Zhang turned back and laughed: "I can manage, the dishes Miss Ji likes aren’t difficult to make."

Gu Ningyue nodded: "That’s good."

After hesitating for a while, Gu Ningyue looked at Aunt Zhang: "By the way, Aunt Zhang, what time did Tianyou leave in the morning?"

Aunt Zhang replied while stir-frying: "After Miss Ji arrived, he gave a few instructions before leaving. Young Madam was still sleeping at that time, and President Ling specifically instructed us not to disturb Young Madam, so we didn’t inform you."

Gu Ningyue nodded: "I see! Did Lu Qingqing say anything? Or was there any dissatisfaction?"

Aunt Zhang paused her stir-frying and shook her head: "I don’t think so, Miss Lu even said that whenever there’s a chance, she’d like to treat Young Madam and President Ling to a meal!"

Gu Ningyue asked: "Is that all?"

Why does it feel like something’s off? Though this feeling isn’t particularly bad, there’s something odd about Lu Qingqing’s recent messages to herself, making her feel uneasy.

"Hmm..." Aunt Zhang pondered for a moment before adding some seasoning to the dish, the aroma slowly wafting out: "President Ling said he’d take good care of Miss Ji, so Miss Lu needn’t worry. Also, President Ling invited Miss Lu to attend the engagement banquet and said that once married, he’d like to invite Miss Lu to be part of your bridesmaid team, Young Madam!"

"What???" Gu Ningyue was so surprised, her jaw almost dropped, "Tianyou wants Lu Qingqing to be part of my bridesmaid team?"

Aunt Zhang nodded: "Yes! President Ling said that he has many friends, but besides Miss Shen, you don’t have many friends, Young Madam. Miss Chi is associated with President Ling’s side, so... so President Ling took the liberty of inviting Miss Lu to be part of your bridesmaid team, Young Madam."

Gu Ningyue swallowed, looking at Aunt Zhang: "What did Lu Qingqing say? Did she agree?"

No way! Would someone as proud as Lu Qingqing really play a supporting role for someone else?

Aunt Zhang smiled: "Though Miss Lu didn’t explicitly agree, her attitude at the time wasn’t all that firm."

Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised: "What did she say?"

Aunt Zhang said: "Miss Lu mentioned that once everything is settled, if she’s not married, she’d consider it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ningyue didn’t know what to say. She silently turned around and left the kitchen.
