Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 537: Tempting Fate

After calling several times, Ji Qianqian finally woke up from her dream, "Sister..."

Seeing her wake up, Gu Ningyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, she wasn’t like before, always immersed in dreams. If it were like that, things would be difficult to handle.

"Qianqian, look at what time it is now? If you don’t get up, how are you going to sleep tonight?" Gu Ningyue smiled, reaching out to touch Ji Qianqian’s slightly cool forehead, then slightly furrowing her brows, "Is she having a fever?"

Why is her temperature so low? This is quite different from how I used to be.

Back then, my mind felt like it was holding a ball of fire, restless every day without reason.

Especially my limbs, always burning hot as if they were on fire.

Ji Qianqian shook her head, "No! I’ve always been like this. Sister Qingqing initially thought I was sick too and took me for lots of tests."

Thinking of this, a touch of pain flashed in Ji Qianqian’s eyes.

Though fleeting, Gu Ningyue still noticed it.

Gu Ningyue sighed, feeling pity for Ji Qianqian, this child, who was always seeing doctors, recuperating, and taking medicine.

Now it’s even harder, being rejected and kicked out of her home. Just the thought of it makes one’s heart ache.

"Sister bought a cake back. Hurry, get dressed and come out, we’ll eat cake together, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qianqian smiled, her eyes brightening, "Okay! I’ll get up right away. Haha! Sister, you’re so nice."

Gu Ningyue patted her shoulder, "I’ll wait for you outside."

Leaving Ji Qianqian’s room, Gu Ningyue saw Ling Tianyou leaning against the wall outside, waiting, "After we’ve eaten, I want to take Ji Qianqian to Mr. Chen. This situation can’t continue like this."

Ling Tianyou noted, "You’re worried she’ll be like you back then?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes! If it really is like that, even if Shangguan Wuyue helps detoxify her and cure her illness, she still won’t get better."

"You’re really attentive to Ji Qianqian," Ling Tianyou suddenly said with a smile, "I’m a bit jealous."

"Pfft," Gu Ningyue couldn’t help replying to Ling Tianyou, "Stop it, she’s just a girl! I’m not interested in women."

Besides, since when did Ling Tianyou become jealous?

Ling Tianyou isn’t such a petty person!

Most importantly, isn’t this me just repaying a debt to Ji Qianqian?

She’s just settling debts, the ones owed to Ji Qianqian and Lin Ruixian.

Ling Tianyou should know this better than anyone.

As Ling Tianyou was about to speak, Ji Qianqian had already dressed and came out, "Sister. Uncle!"

Gu Ningyue took her hand, ignored Ling Tianyou, and led Ji Qianqian to the table, "Qianqian, take a look, which one do you want to eat?"

Ji Qianqian looked at the cake on the table, her eyes lighting up, "Wow! Are all these for Qianqian?"

Gu Ningyue was just about to nod, placing another unopened special gift beside her, "Except for this one, they are all for Qianqian!"

Ji Qianqian cheered and gave Gu Ningyue a kiss, "Sister, you’re so nice."

Gu Ningyue felt a bit embarrassed from the kiss, considering Ji Qianqian’s mental age was just a child’s, but her body...

Just looking at Ji Qianqian’s figure, despite feeling awkward inside, Gu Ningyue turned her head, realizing Ling Tianyou was already sitting beside her, watching with an expression like a lovelorn little pup.

Clearly telling her, ’Ji Qianqian can kiss you; I want to too.’

Gu Ningyue awkwardly turned her head and decisively chose to appease Ji Qianqian.

As long as Ji Qianqian returns to normal, those countless connections will be easily resolved.

The Lu Family won’t oppose the Lin Family anymore; Lin Ruixian can be safe, without the daily fear of being hunted.

Ji Qianqian can also have her own life; it’s basically a win-win situation.

After eating the cake, Gu Ningyue had Aunt Zhang put the rest in the fridge, "Qianqian, in a while, sister will take you out to play, okay?"

Ji Qianqian asked Gu Ningyue, "Are we going to the amusement park, sister?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, we are going to an old uncle’s house. He has lots of fun things there; Qianqian, do you want to go?"

"No, I don’t want to go," Ji Qianqian lowered her head, "Sister Qingqing used to trick me into going to the hospital; you’re doing it too. You all want to deceive me into getting shots, I don’t want that."

Gu Ningyue; "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Gu Ningyue smiled again, "Sister would never take Qianqian for shots! If we go and you don’t like it, we’ll leave right away, okay? That old uncle’s house does have lots of interesting things, just after a full meal, you should get out for some activity otherwise, you might gain weight!"

Ji Qianqian looked at Gu Ningyue, "Is what sister said really true?"

Gu Ningyue nodded earnestly, "Of course it’s true, if I lie to you, I’ll be a puppy."

Hearing this, Ji Qianqian agreed, "Alright!"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Then watch TV here, I’ll go upstairs, change clothes, and be right back."

Ji Qianqian nodded, seeing Gu Ningyue leave, suddenly asked, "Why does uncle follow sister when she goes to change clothes?"

Gu Ningyue was stunned, turning back to Ling Tianyou behind her, "Why are you..."

Ling Tianyou whispered nonchalantly, "I also need to change clothes, what’s wrong?"

Gu Ningyue: "....Not much, that’s good." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Going upstairs together, when Gu Ningyue finished changing and came out, Ling Tianyou hadn’t moved.

Waiting downstairs for a while, Ling Tianyou slowly descended the stairs, "I just called Mr. Chen, he practices Tai Chi in the community park every evening at seven; we can go meet him there directly."

Gu Ningyue nodded, glancing at the watch on her wrist, "There’s still more than two hours, shall we go out and walk around?"

Ling Tianyou agreed, "Doesn’t Qianqian want to go to the amusement park? Let’s go there first."

Before Gu Ningyue could speak, Ji Qianqian was already cheering excitedly, "Great, we can go play! Sister, let’s go to the amusement park, to the amusement park!"

Gu Ningyue helplessly said, "Alright! To the amusement park."

Anyway, it’s just to kill time, it doesn’t matter where we go.

Besides, with Ling Tianyou around, there won’t be any issues of abduction happening.

Unless someone really wants trouble, coming to Ling Tianyou just asking for it.

Getting things ready, Gu Ningyue held Ji Qianqian’s hand, sitting in the back seat of Ling Tianyou’s car.

Without seeing his beloved beside him, Ling Tianyou silently decided that Ji Qianqian must return to normal soon.

Otherwise, does it mean it will always be like this?
