Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 422: So Sure?

Gu Ningyue saw Ling Tianyou was angry, quickly lowered her stance to appease him: "Don’t be mad! Lin Ruixian is not in City A now, and who knows when he’ll come back. Besides, even if he comes back, that card might not be used, right? Anyway, we haven’t been in touch, and even if he used it, it would be for the Lin Family, not for me."

Ling Tianyou sneered: "Lin Ruixian likes you. If he rushes back when we’re engaged and wants you to leave with him, would you do it?"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback: "How is that possible? Lin Ruixian is a smart guy, how could he do such a thing? Forceful actions don’t yield sweetness, he surely understands that."

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue with a half-smile: "Love always makes people lose their senses. If he really did this, what would you do? Go with him?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "If he truly dares to make such a request, I definitely wouldn’t go with him! I don’t even like him."

Upon hearing this, Ling Tianyou was finally reassured somewhat: "That’s good, you do have a conscience."

Gu Ningyue paused slightly, then couldn’t help but let out a light laugh: "And you? If I ask you to break it off with Chen Rui, would you be willing?"

Ling Tianyou looked into Gu Ningyue’s eyes: "I would."

Not only would he, he was already preparing for it.

In a few more months, not only Chen Rui, but even the entire Chen Family, would have no connection with him.

Gu Ningyue was stunned: "So sure?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, stood up and approached Gu Ningyue’s side: "Of course, since you’ve told me this much, I should tell you a secret too."

Gu Ningyue looked up at Ling Tianyou and asked: "What?"

Ling Tianyou said lightly: "The cooperation between the Chen Family and the Ling Family is about to end, and there won’t be any further collaboration."

Gu Ningyue was puzzled: "Is it for me, or does the Chen Family’s company have some issue?"

Ling Tianyou raised the corner of his mouth: "Both, perhaps! But more importantly—it’s for you."

Ling Tianyou’s eyes were deep and bright, perhaps because he had just drunk a little more wine, Gu Ningyue felt her face reddening and her heart racing under Ling Tianyou’s gaze: "Was the argument with your father in the study over this matter on that day when we returned to the Ling Family?"

Ling Tianyou reached out to touch her face: "Yes! Those old relics from the company heard I was terminating the cooperation with the Chen Family and called to tattletale to my father."

"Actually... it’s not really necessary," Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "As long as she doesn’t always create drama..."

Ling Tianyou raised the corner of his mouth, suddenly leaned down close to her nose and slowly asked: "Really? But to me, it seems like you’re quite jealous!"

Gu Ningyue instinctively wanted to avoid him, but Ling Tianyou didn’t give her the chance. A kiss suddenly fell, the bitter wine aroma mixed together, blocking all the words she wanted to say in her throat.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, until their breathing became rapid, Gu Ningyue finally mustered the strength to push Ling Tianyou away: "You... I..."

Looking at Gu Ningyue’s flushed cheeks, Ling Tianyou suddenly took out a handkerchief to wipe the traces off the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile: "What about me? Why didn’t you continue speaking?"

Gu Ningyue glared at him: "Are you a rogue?"

Ling Tianyou shamelessly replied: "Yes! So what?"

Gu Ningyue was helpless, gathered her emotions, stood up and looked at Ling Tianyou: "What I can remember is just those things we talked about just now, if there’s anything else you want to know, ask me later! I’m a bit tired and need to rest."

Once she finished speaking, without waiting for Ling Tianyou to say anything more, she quickly walked back to her room with a flushed face.

Ling Tianyou smiled, stood at the door and watched as the door belonging to Gu Ningyue closed, then turned to return to his own bedroom.

Everything Gu Ningyue just said, he heard, but whether he fully believed it was still uncertain.

"Hey? Mr. Chen, it’s Tianyou."

"What’s making President Ling think of calling this old man?"

"The project has ended for a long time, but I haven’t had the chance to invite Mr. Chen for a meal. Do you have any free time lately?"

"Tomorrow afternoon at three, the old man is hosting a tea party at home, if President Ling doesn’t mind, come join us!"

"Alright, thank you, Mr. Chen."

After hanging up, Ling Tianyou thought for a while and dialed another number: "Help me investigate something..."

Could there really be someone who reincarnated in this world? If it’s true, what kind of person was Gu Weiwei before? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Thinking for a long time, Ling Tianyou picked up his coat and left the villa: "Aunt Zhang, if the Young Madam goes out, call me immediately."

Aunt Zhang responded, watching Ling Tianyou ask one more question: "Where is President Ling going?"

Ling Tianyou calmly stated two words: "Prison."

Aunt Zhang was taken aback, wanted to ask more, but Ling Tianyou had already stepped away.

The Young Madam had just returned, why was President Ling going to prison?

At this moment, Gu Ningyue was sitting at the dressing table, looking at her still flushed face in the mirror, thinking about Ling Tianyou’s kiss just now, her heart couldn’t help but race again.

Did Ling Tianyou believe what she said? It seemed like he believed it, right?

Otherwise, why didn’t he make an issue out of her going to U country alone?

Given Ling Tianyou’s previous personality, even small matters would have to gain some advantage for himself before letting it go.

Now, besides that one questioning sentence, there was nothing else?

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue touched her face: "What happened? Why is my heart racing so fast?"

What was she anticipating just now?

Unexpectedly, she suddenly wanted someone to talk to.

This urgent desire to express herself never existed in her previous life.

But without a phone, she couldn’t contact Shen Hanyin, and could only sit here, lost in thought.

It wasn’t clear how long she sat there, before Gu Ningyue stood up and went downstairs, Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "Young Madam, are you going out?"

Gu Ningyue nodded: "Going to see Han Yin, I’ll be back soon."

Aunt Zhang nodded, hesitated for a few seconds and said: "President Ling just went out, maybe you should wait until tomorrow to visit Miss Shen? Otherwise, I’m afraid President Ling will overthink if he knows you went out."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback: "Ling Tianyou went out? Where did he go?"

Was she too engrossed in her thoughts to even notice that Ling Tianyou had left?

Aunt Zhang looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "President Ling went... to prison!"

Gu Ningyue quickly reacted, "Then he won’t be back for a while, I’ll go see Han Yin first."

Saying that, Gu Ningyue stepped out of the villa.

Aunt Zhang watched Gu Ningyue’s back, what’s going on? Why did everything seem different since Young Madam returned, even President Ling seemed unlike before?
