Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 557: Truly Not Bad

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and snorted, "Of course there are, maybe even deliberately trying to send someone into your arms."

Not to mention anything else, just based on Ling Tianyou’s breathtakingly handsome face, which once seen, makes it impossible to look away; it’s already enough to leave people wanting more.

What’s more, with such distinguished family background and social status, anyone would want to establish some connection with him.

"What’s the matter? Are you jealous?" Ling Tianyou was quite satisfied with Gu Ningyue’s reaction, he liked seeing her being so attentive to his affairs.

Especially when Gu Ningyue was jealous for him, it seemed that only then could he feel her attentiveness towards him.

At this moment, Ling Tianyou himself hadn’t realized this.

"I’m not!" Gu Ningyue felt a bit uneasy inside, but she would never admit it: "Don’t talk nonsense! I’m just curious!"

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "Back then, it was just for socializing. Besides, even if someone truly tries to send a woman to me, it depends on whether I agree or not."

Over the years, he has always kept himself clean; only he knows how many twists and turns along with disgraced women appeared.

Initially, he did feel a bit uncomfortable, unable to comprehend why some had to pounce on him, but over time he came to understand.

People will do anything for wealth, and birds die for food. To get what they desire, no matter how much, nothing seemed wrong with that!

Gu Ningyue asked Ling Tianyou, "Has there never been anyone to catch your eye?"

There were plenty of beauties in City A, even with Chen Rui once being the top beauty, it doesn’t mean there’s no one surpassing her afterwards.

Surely there’s been a talented, beautiful, personality-good woman appearing, right?

"No." Ling Tianyou answered decisively, "Before meeting you, I never thought about dating or marriage."

He was telling the truth; before Gu Ningyue, he never had such thoughts.

Perhaps because of the hurt Chen Rui caused him, leaving a scar in his heart about women, or maybe his work had kept him too busy, thus having no time.

In any case, he never thought about those two things.

Gu Ningyue’s appearance was simply a beautiful accident for him.

"After your brother married and had a child, did your parents ever urge you to marry?" Gu Ningyue asked Ling Tianyou, "Did they introduce any girls to you?"

Although the parents of the Ling Family are open-minded, they are not so open-minded as to allow Ling Tianyou to remain unmarried forever!

Ling Tianyou smiled at Gu Ningyue: "Did I ever tell you, if it’s something I don’t want to do, no one can force me?"

His parents did urge him, but over time, seeing his firm attitude, they let it be.

The most important thing, initially they thought Ling Tianyou was not looking for a girlfriend because he was waiting for Chen Rui to return to the country.

Only to find out that, after waiting, Chen Rui did not return, but Gu Ningyue appeared instead—a person viewed by the outside world as a mental patient.

Gu Ningyue nodded, "True, if someone could force you, it would only be because you are willing."

Ling Tianyou smiled silently, spending some time watching TV with Gu Ningyue and Ji Qianqian on the sofa until the ending song appeared, and Aunt Zhang had finished cooking.

"President Ling, Young Madam, Miss Ji, dinner is ready."

The three stood up, and Gu Ningyue led Ji Qianqian by the hand to sit at the dining table. Only then did Gu Ningyue vaguely remember: "By the way, about our engagement, have you mentioned it to Xing Tong?"

Ling Tianyou paused as he served the soup, "No, I’ve been quite busy lately and completely forgot."

Gu Ningyue asked, "What about Chen Rui? Did you inform her?"

When drawing up the invitation list, Gu Ningyue hadn’t seen Ling Tianyou include Chen Rui’s name.

Gu Ningyue thought perhaps when Chen Rui attends the engagement ceremony, she could finally give up on Ling Tianyou.

After all, she’s already together with Ling Tianyou; a proud person like Chen Rui surely wouldn’t want to be a third party and ruin their relationship, right?

If she did, then it would be a case of overestimating Chen Rui previously!

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue focused her gaze on Ling Tianyou, waiting for his response.

"I assumed you wouldn’t want to see her at the engagement ceremony." Ling Tianyou served the soup and said.

Gu Ningyue chuckled, "Do I appear that petty?"

With so many people at the engagement party, Gu Ningyue believed she wouldn’t have the time to focus on Chen Rui.

"If you don’t mind, I will call the person who issues the invitations and have them include the names of Chen Family members," Gu Ningyue said.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "Okay!"

Ling Tianyou glanced at Gu Ningyue, a hint of smile emerging at the corner of his lips.

What a young woman, so eager to publicly declare her happiness, allowing her rival to witness it firsthand?

After thinking for a moment, Gu Ningyue turned to Ji Qianqian, "Qianqian, is it okay to stay at home tomorrow? Your sister and uncle need to go out on business and might return quite late!"

Ji Qianqian was eating and looked up at Gu Ningyue upon hearing this, "Where are sister and uncle going? Qianqian wants to go too!"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ji Qianqian: "Sister and uncle will go out for some important business, be a good girl and stay home waiting for us. We’ll bring toys and snacks back for Qianqian, alright?"

Ji Qianqian puffed her lips in grievance, "But Qianqian doesn’t want to be home alone; being alone is so boring, sister..."

Gu Ningyue coaxed Ji Qianqian for a long time before finally convincing her to stay alone at the villa tomorrow instead of following along.

After dinner, catching a yawn from Ji Qianqian, Gu Ningyue sent her to bed.

Once Ji Qianqian’s room door closed, Gu Ningyue turned to Ling Tianyou, "Alright. We can eat cake now!"

Ling Tianyou paused, "I thought you had forgotten about that."

Gu Ningyue smiled charmingly, "How could I forget? Aunt Zhang, could you bring that unopened cake from the refrigerator?"

Aunt Zhang responded and soon placed the cake box in front of Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou.

Gu Ningyue reached out and untied the ribbon, revealing the beautiful cake inside, "Here, try it?"

Saying this, she took the cake out and handed Ling Tianyou a fork.

Ling Tianyou was helpless as he took the cake and tasted a bite.

Although it had been in the fridge for a day, the taste hadn’t deteriorated.

Different from the cakes he had as a child, though sweet and fragrant, it wasn’t cloying at all, truly delightful.
