Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 477: Marriage Registration

Forget Ji Zhiye? Shen Hanyin silently shook her head in her heart. To truly forget, it would take a very, very long time.

Gu Ningyue knew that the emotional scars Ji Zhiye left on Shen Hanyin were significant, and she didn’t expect her to let go so quickly. She simply comforted her, saying, "No need to rush. Some things are forgotten invisibly. On the contrary, the harder you try to forget something, the more clearly you’ll remember it. So just let it be!"

Shen Hanyin held Gu Ningyue’s hand: "I will, but let’s talk about you and Ling Tianyou! What have you been doing at home these past few days?"

Speaking of which, Gu Ningyue recalled the events that had happened since she returned. One unexpected incident after another left her somewhat frazzled.

But fortunately, Ling Tianyou was willing to stand by her side, without the suspicions and disguises of the past, truly standing on the same front line with her.

The emptiness in her heart was gradually being filled by Ling Tianyou.

Yet, a part of it remained empty, for reasons Gu Ningyue could not fathom.

However, it didn’t matter, as long as she and Ling Tianyou were of one mind now.

This made life somewhat easier, sparing her many troubles.

At least, compared to the days when she had to conceal everything from Ling Tianyou, life was much better.

After a brief silence, Gu Ningyue looked at Shen Hanyin and said, "Ling Tianyou and I are getting engaged. We’re planning to take some time off to visit home in the next couple of days. Also, since it’s almost Mid-Autumn Festival, we need to go back home once."

To be honest, if it weren’t for the engagement with Ling Tianyou, she really wouldn’t want to go back.

Shen Hanyin’s eyes lit up: "Really? Doesn’t that mean you’ll be getting your marriage certificate within six months or so?"

Gu Ningyue was taken aback: "Not that fast, right? Getting the marriage certificate, I haven’t really thought it through yet..."

Shen Hanyin looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Usually, people get married about six months after getting engaged. Except for those like your sister, who are in a hurry because of a shotgun wedding, most people follow this timeline."

Gu Ningyue rubbed her forehead: "Is that so? It seems a bit quick. But we’ll see when the time comes. After all, plans can’t keep up with changes."

If she really married Ling Tianyou so quickly, what if they regretted it later?

After all, many things had not been resolved yet, and the matter with Jin Chenglong was still unresolved, making her feel like something was weighing on her heart.

Shen Hanyin, seeing Gu Ningyue’s uncertain expression, asked, "Aren’t you and Ling Tianyou getting along well? A person like Ling Tianyou is incredibly hard to come by, and girls across the country are probably lining up to enter the Ling Family. If you’re unwilling to marry him, you’d better be cautious lest someone else steps in."

Gu Ningyue smiled, "What’s mine is mine, and if something’s not, no amount of blocking will help. I just think it’s too quick to get married and get the certificate like this. Six months isn’t enough time to know someone."

Lin Ruixian partnered with me for a year, yet in the end, didn’t understand me.

What’s more, we were partners who needed to have the most tacit understanding.

Shen Hanyin pondered for a moment, then hesitantly looked at Gu Ningyue and asked, "Are you apprehensive about the Chen Rui situation?"

The past between Chen Rui and Ling Tianyou had been widespread gossip long before, and ever since Chen Rui returned, it had been dug up by the interested and often discussed over tea.

Even someone like me, whose daily life revolves around performances and going home, has heard some of these conversations.

Even within my own troupe, some people, after seeing Gu Ningyue, involuntarily compared her with Chen Rui.

At such times, Shen Hanyin always wanted to stand up and say something for Gu Ningyue, but reason always made her choose silence.

Since those people had said such things, they naturally already had answers in their hearts.

Since their internal scales were already tipped towards Chen Rui, any further words from me at this time seemed deliberate and superfluous.

Ultimately, I’d still have to endure unnecessary irritation with these people, so it was better to just pass it off with a smile as if I hadn’t heard anything.

Only when someone came to inquire about Gu Ningyue’s affairs would she speak up in her defense.

Sometimes, she really didn’t understand what was so good about a woman as hypocritical and pretentious as Chen Rui.

If she were a man, she would definitely shy away from such a woman.

Upon hearing Shen Hanyin’s words, Gu Ningyue surprisingly showed a faint, tranquil smile: "Ling Tianyou explained Chen Rui’s situation to me, and I believe what he said. As for Chen Rui, she is indeed an unstable factor."

Shen Hanyin looked at Gu Ningyue: "What did Ling Tianyou say?"

Though Ling Tianyou’s character could be trusted, Shen Hanyin still harbored some concerns.

Gu Ningyue hesitated for a few seconds, then relayed everything she knew to Shen Hanyin: "Those news reports and their previous relationship were just superficial. The real Chen Rui is not like what’s shown in the news."

After listening to Gu Ningyue’s account, Shen Hanyin’s fingers couldn’t help but tremble slightly: "I... I always thought Chen Rui was just a bit arrogant, but I didn’t expect her to be so venomous! My God, even ten Gu Wanwans can’t compare to her! If you get engaged to Ling Tianyou, won’t Chen Rui try to harm you?"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "Of course she will, no doubt about it, but it’s okay. Take things as they come. Being afraid won’t help, don’t you think?"

Shen Hanyin sighed, "My poor Yueyue, just got rid of Gu Wanwan, and now there’s a Chen Rui."

Gu Ningyue didn’t really mind. She had been through things much more perilous before, and just one Chen Rui would not scare her away.

"Come to think of it, Chen Rui seems to have been quite calm recently, without any signs of activity?" Gu Ningyue tilted her head, pondering: "It feels like she hasn’t sought out Ling Tianyou again nor appeared before me."

Shen Hanyin looked at Gu Ningyue and said, "Even if she looked for Ling Tianyou, you wouldn’t necessarily know about it! Surely she’d be worried about causing you concern, right? Maybe privately... but never mind, as long as it doesn’t come to your doorstep, leave it to Ling Tianyou to handle it. You can just enjoy the peace."

Gu Ningyue turned her head, hugging Shen Hanyin’s arm and asked, "Why do you trust Ling Tianyou so much? What if he also cheated on me like Ye Mingchen?"

Shen Hanyin flicked Gu Ningyue’s nose: "How could that be? Everyone knows Ling Tianyou has always kept his distance from women, and besides you, Chen Rui was his only rumored girlfriend. Moreover, Ling Tianyou’s character is renowned."

Gu Ningyue teasingly leaned against Shen Hanyin and said, "A good character can be faked too! Look at my dad and Ye Mingchen, don’t they all put on a good front?"
