Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 556: Take a Guess

Many things didn’t really matter much to Gu Ningyue.

But in the context of Ling Tianyou’s presence, Gu Ningyue indeed paid more attention to matters concerning him than to herself.

"Shall we go buy some more cake?" Ling Tianyou asked Gu Ningyue after a long silence while driving.

Gu Ningyue pursed her lips, "Let’s not go, there’s still some left from yesterday, we’ll see tomorrow!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Ling Tianyou responded with a "Okay."

When they drove home, Ji Qianqian was already awake and was sitting there watching TV.

Upon hearing the sound, she immediately walked over like a little butterfly towards the two, "Sister, you’re back!"

Gu Ningyue ruffled Ji Qianqian’s hair and smiled, "Yeah! Was Qianqian good at home?"

Ji Qianqian nodded, "Of course, I was good. What did Sister go to do? Why didn’t you take Qianqian along?"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Qianqian was still sleeping! Next time when Qianqian is awake, Sister will take you out, okay?"

Ji Qianqian agreed and suddenly said to Gu Ningyue, "Sister, you smell so nice!"

Gu Ningyue was slightly taken aback, "Smell nice?"

Before she went out, she clearly hadn’t sprayed any perfume; where did this scent come from?

Ling Tianyou was also a bit puzzled, "What scent? I didn’t smell anything."

Ji Qianqian looked at both of them in confusion, "There is! Sister’s body, and uncle’s body, both have a scent! It’s the smell of daisies!"

Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou exchanged a glance, suddenly recalling that in Ling Tianze’s hospital room, there was indeed a vase with daisies for decoration. "Tianze’s hospital room has daisies; maybe the scent rubbed off from there."

Ling Tianyou nodded, sniffing the air around him, and there was indeed a very faint daisy fragrance, "It’s quite faint, we probably didn’t notice."

Gu Ningyue also agreed, a bit surprised at Ji Qianqian’s sharp discovery, "Has Qianqian always been this sensitive to scents?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Qianqian shook her head, "No! It’s just Sister’s and uncle’s scent that’s too fragrant!"

Gu Ningyue slightly furrowed her brows, turning to look at Ling Tianyou, "Do you remember when I was cursed before? I was particularly sensitive to sounds."

Even the sounds coming from outside her room, she could hear them very clearly.

"But, Mr. Chen said she wasn’t cursed?" Ling Tianyou was a bit confused.

Gu Ningyue thought for a moment; could Mr. Chen really not deceive her?

If he didn’t deceive her, that would be best. But if he did, had she wasted Ji Qianqian’s treatment time by now?

No, Mr. Chen had no reason to deceive her. After all, the Lu Family’s influence in A City could rival the Ling Family’s, so there was no need for Mr. Chen to provoke them.

Even if he deceived her, it wouldn’t bring him any benefit.

"Forget it, everything will come to an end tomorrow; one more day won’t make a difference."

Thinking thus, Gu Ningyue muttered softly and turned to Ling Tianyou, "I’m going upstairs to change clothes."

Ling Tianyou nodded, understanding her meaning, then asked Aunt Zhang to soothe Ji Qianqian back to the TV, and he himself returned to the bedroom.

Some time passed, and Gu Ningyue had already changed into a set of loose, homey clothes and came downstairs.

Ling Tianyou hadn’t come out yet. Gu Ningyue was just about to sit on the sofa when her phone suddenly chimed, "Dingdong—"

Gu Ningyue, a bit puzzled, took out her phone, thinking it was Shen Hanyin asking if she was home, but when she saw the message, a hint of surprise crossed her eyes.

It was Li Jing: "Sorry for only contacting Miss Gu today. After much thought, I decided to tell Miss Gu who is behind me, but I ask Miss Gu to spare me and not trouble me again. How about it?"

Gu Ningyue pursed her lips. Whether or not to bother him wasn’t his decision to make: "Go ahead and say it! Who’s behind this?"

"Dingdong—"

Li Jing: "It’s Jin Chenglong, President Jin."

Looking at the messages Li Jing sent on her phone, Gu Ningyue was momentarily unsure of what expression to make, "So it was Jin Chenglong?"

At that moment, Ling Tianyou came walking down from upstairs.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "Li Jing just sent me a message."

Ling Tianyou continued walking, "Isn’t that good? Saves you the trouble of finding him."

Gu Ningyue pouted, "Here, see what he said."

Ling Tianyou came to Gu Ningyue’s side, took a look at her phone, "Jin Chenglong?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "His answer came after the deadline, why do I feel something’s off?"

Ling Tianyou smiled faintly, "You can just ask Jin Chenglong tomorrow, can’t you?"

Gu Ningyue agreed, yes! The agreed time would be tomorrow, then she could directly ask Jin Chenglong what was going on.

"By the way, how is Xiao Yun doing?" Gu Ningyue suddenly asked after thinking for a moment.

Ling Tianyou said, "I haven’t asked yet. If you want to know, I can make a call for you."

"Please ask!" Gu Ningyue glanced at Aunt Zhang who was busy over there, "Otherwise, Aunt Zhang might keep worrying too."

Ling Tianyou dialed an unfamiliar number, inquired about Xiao Yun’s situation, then turned to Gu Ningyue, "Everything is normal, as long as she follows the prescribed treatment."

Gu Ningyue felt a bit relieved, "That’s good."

A while later, Aunt Zhang came over to the three of them, "President Ling, Young Madam, Miss Ji, what would you like to eat for dinner?"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ji Qianqian, "I’m okay with anything, what does Qianqian want to eat?"

Ji Qianqian recited the same dishes as the other day and had no other requests.

Ling Tianyou looked at Aunt Zhang, "Just make something casual!"

Aunt Zhang nodded, "President Ling, how about pumpkin soup with lotus-flavored shredded pork?"

Ling Tianyou, "That’s fine."

After Aunt Zhang left, Gu Ningyue turned to Ling Tianyou, "When you were home alone before, what did you eat?"

For some reason, Gu Ningyue was suddenly a bit curious about Ling Tianyou’s habits before she appeared.

Ling Tianyou reminisced for a moment, and was a bit surprised himself, "Most of the time I ate out, rarely at home."

Gu Ningyue gave an "Oh," and continued asking, "By yourself?" Surely not!

People like Ling Tianyou probably had many who tried to curry favor with him.

Even if Ling Tianyou didn’t like it, there would always be those few unavoidable social engagements, right?

Ling Tianyou said, "Sometimes by myself, sometimes for business. Why do you suddenly ask?"

Gu Ningyue chuckled softly, looking at Ling Tianyou, "Were there any beauties accompanying you?"

Ling Tianyou didn’t answer, he just asked her back, "What do you think?"
