Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 559: What Is the Purpose?

I don’t know why, but Gu Ningyue felt that her master would definitely like this cake she learned to make.

Maybe by then, it could even bring her closer to her master. Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue’s expression suddenly froze.

Wait, she seemed to have forgotten something.

Her engagement, Xia Yingbai told Lin Ruixian about it, right?

If Lin Ruixian knew that she was going to be engaged to Ling Tianyou, would he do something crazy?

Thinking of this, Gu Ningyue hesitated for a moment and decided to go back to her room and ask her master whether he had told Lin Ruixian about the news.

"What’s wrong? Afraid the shop owner won’t teach you?" Ling Tianyou saw her smile fade and comforted her: "The shop owner also said it was a freebie, and there’s a good chance they haven’t officially started selling it. You could pay some money to buy the recipe, then you can learn from it. If all else fails, you could hire a master to teach you. There’s always a way."

Gu Ningyue turned her head and leaned against Ling Tianyou’s chest, saying, "It’s okay, I don’t really have to learn it."

Ling Tianyou stroked Gu Ningyue’s long hair, "Do you want to go upstairs and watch a movie?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "No, I’m a bit tired today, I want to rest early, we have a lot of things to do tomorrow!"

Ling Tianyou didn’t say much after hearing this, he just replied, "Okay."

"By the way, don’t forget to have someone look into that little nurse and that doctor." Gu Ningyue lifted her head to look at Ling Tianyou, "See who they’ve been in contact with lately and why they’re feeding Ling Tianze those dangerous thoughts."

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s beautiful face up close, Ling Tianyou suddenly had a surge of emotion and kissed her, "Mwah."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, then moved an inch back, "You! You rogue!"

After all this time, she was still a bit unaccustomed to Ling Tianyou’s kisses.

Ling Tianyou hadn’t expected his sudden action either, pursing his lips he said, "Sorry, I couldn’t help it."

Although he said sorry, Gu Ningyue couldn’t find a trace of apology on his face: "I’m going to sleep! Good night!"

Gu Ningyue stood up and left Ling Tianyou’s embrace. Watching this shy little girl, Ling Tianyou stood up as well and said, "Alright, good night."

Since Gu Ningyue showed up, someone who was always indifferent to women suddenly felt something he hadn’t before. As long as he was with Gu Ningyue, he’d do things he’d never have considered before.

After returning to their respective rooms, Gu Ningyue filled the tub and took a bath. Lying in the warm bathtub, Gu Ningyue picked up her phone and sent a message to her master.

After a brief polite exchange, Gu Ningyue got to the point: "Teacher Xia, does Lin Ruixian know that I’m getting engaged to Ling Tianyou?"

"Dingdong——"

Xia Yingbai: "Not yet, if Miss Gu wants me to tell Lin Rui, I can pass it on."

Gu Ningyue paused, she must be out of her mind to want to tell Lin Ruixian!

If Lin Ruixian knew, Gu Ningyue couldn’t guarantee what she might do.

Most importantly, it was hard enough to get engaged to Ling Tianyou, she didn’t want anyone to disturb it.

Lin Ruixian had a card from her, she didn’t want that card to be used at her engagement ceremony.

"No, don’t tell Lin Ruixian yet." Gu Ningyue replied to Xia Yingbai: "He’s still recovering and weak, once he’s well, I’ll find a chance to tell him myself, thank you, Teacher Xia."

"Dingdong——"

Xia Yingbai: "Alright, Lin Ruixian probably doesn’t want to hear this news from anyone else either."

Looking at the message from her master, Gu Ningyue sighed.

Perhaps, hearing the news from her own mouth, Lin Ruixian wouldn’t be happy either.

After bathing, Gu Ningyue dried her hair, changed into her pajamas, and got into bed, dialing Chi Xingtong’s number.

The ringtone sounded for a long time before being picked up with a jolt, "Hello? Who?

Chi Xingtong’s voice was extremely sleepy, clearly not fully awake.

Gu Ningyue asked, "It’s me, Ning Yue, shouldn’t you be at work at this time?"

Hearing Gu Ningyue’s question, Chi Xingtong seemed to regain some clarity, "It’s you! I thought it was my exploitative boss again, even on my day off they wouldn’t leave me alone!"

"I just finished a project recently, so they gave me some time off. What’s up?"

As she talked, Chi Xingtong let out a yawn.

Gu Ningyue paused and said, "On the ninth of next month, Ling Tianyou and I are having our engagement party, can you come back?"

"What?" Upon hearing the word engagement, Chi Xingtong seemed suddenly energized, "Really?"

Gu Ningyue said, "Yes, really, I’ve already gone home with Ling Tianyou to meet his parents. The hotel for the engagement party and the outfits have been set. If you come back, we can go choose a suitable one for you tomorrow."

Chi Xingtong thought for a moment, "Wait a moment, let me check my schedule."

Gu Ningyue agreed and soon heard Chi Xingtong say, "I have five days of vacation left, good thing, I’ll be back at work tomorrow, then I’ll save the vacation for your wedding day, the timing is just right."

Gu Ningyue said, "Alright. I’ll look for a dress for you tomorrow, keep an eye on your phone?"

Chi Xingtong laughed and said, "No need, the designers at Ling Tianyou’s company have limited energy, I’d rather find someone familiar around here! Don’t worry, I won’t overshadow you."

"I’m not worried about that, having you there is my honor."

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue turned off the light and lay in bed, beginning to ponder the events at the hospital today.

Ling Tianze had indeed changed a lot, especially his eyes, they were as lifeless as dead ashes.

This shouldn’t be the result of a convalescent clinic, at least not what should happen to Ling Tianze.

Only those who have failed to quit drugs multiple times usually feel such despair and then give up entirely.

Ling Tianze had only been caught once, then directly sent to the clinic by Ling Tianyou.

Why would he have such an expression? And he even refused to see Ling Tianyou?

At first, she thought Ling Tianze was just resentful of Ling Tianyou not letting him go home until her gaze landed on that book, and then she realized something.

Someone had turned Ling Tianze into this, someone made Ling Tianze gradually lose hope, wasting away here like a tree losing its moisture, trying to make him wither away.

Who is so malicious? Bai Chengfan has already been caught, and besides, Ling Tianyou and Ling Tianze had no grudge against Bai Chengfan, why would he target Ling Tianze from prison?

What is the purpose of doing this?
