Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 504: Powerless

Ling Tianyou went to the company, and Gu Ningyue picked up her phone to call Lu Qingqing.

"Is Qianqian’s stuff packed? Should I come over to pick her up tomorrow?" Gu Ningyue asked.

Lu Qingqing had thought there was no hope and was ready to send Ji Qianqian to a temple, but unexpectedly received a call from Gu Ningyue early in the morning: "Ling Tianyou agreed?"

"Yes." Gu Ningyue responded: "Well, I have some things to attend to this afternoon, originally I could have come over today, but it’ll have to wait until tomorrow."

Lu Qingqing chuckled: "No worries, tomorrow works too."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a couple more sentences, and then Gu Ningyue suddenly said: "The ninth of next month is my engagement party with Ling Tianyou. On that day, could I invite Miss Lu to grace us with your presence?"

There wasn’t really any conflict between them, and with Ji Qianqian as a link, Gu Ningyue thought inviting Lu Qingqing would be better than not inviting her.

After all, who knows if Ling Tianyou might cooperate with the Lu Family in the future?

Lu Qingqing was a bit surprised: "Has it been decided between you and Ling Tianyou?"

Gu Ningyue looked out at the bright and sunny sky, a joyous smile couldn’t help but appear at the corners of her mouth: "Yes, I went to the Ling Family yesterday, it’s all settled."

Lu Qingqing chuckled, "That’s good, Ling Tianyou is not getting any younger, it’s time to get married."

Having said that, Gu Ningyue hesitated for two seconds, then suddenly asked Lu Qingqing: "And what about you, Miss Lu? Haven’t you thought about personal matters?"

Lu Qingqing suddenly went silent, personal matters? She’d devoted all her energy to Ji Qianqian, how could she have the time to think about that?

"Sorry, Miss Lu, pretend I didn’t ask that question! I was being intrusive." Seeing Lu Qingqing hadn’t spoken, Gu Ningyue’s previous doubts deepened.

Though she shouldn’t be asking this, her curiosity persisted nonetheless.

Lu Qingqing replied softly: "It’s okay, many people have asked that question, not just you. Qianqian is awake, I’m going over there. I’ll bring Qianqian over tomorrow, you don’t need to come specially."

Gu Ningyue didn’t object, "Alright, see you tomorrow."

After hanging up, Gu Ningyue sat on the sofa thinking for a while; could Lu Qingqing like women?

Ji Qianqian had grown up with her since childhood, such a beauty—it wouldn’t be incomprehensible if Gu Ningyue felt stirred.

After all, liking the same sex isn’t as big of a taboo in this age.

She merely has different preferences from others, that’s all—what’s wrong with that?

She hasn’t hurt anyone; she just wants to be with someone she likes.

Although Gu Ningyue didn’t particularly understand such matters, her stance was always: ’As long as it doesn’t affect me, go ahead.’

I wonder how Ling Tianyou feels about this?

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue suddenly opened the chat with Ling Tianyou and typed a message to send over.

In the office, Ling Tianyou gazed at the message from Gu Ningyue, his eyes falling into contemplation.

What’s this girl mean by this? Why suddenly ask this kind of question?

Testing me? Or is there something else going on?

Probably because of living together for so long, Ling Tianyou’s thoughts got a bit imaginative: "Do you like women?"

Is that what she meant?

"Pfft!" Gu Ningyue almost spat out her juice when she saw the reply, does she look like someone who likes women?

Gu Ningyue replied to Ling Tianyou’s message: "What are you thinking? Do I really look like someone who likes women?"

"Ding dong——"

Ling Tianyou: "Kind of looks like it."

Gu Ningyue widened her eyes, stunned for a bit before touching her own face: "Nonsense! How do I look like that?"

Besides, she’s always liked looking at handsome guys! In comparison, beauties clearly don’t attract her as much.

Sure, during previous missions, she indeed hadn’t had much time to appreciate properly.

"Ding dong——"

Ling Tianyou received Gu Ningyue’s reply: "I only like men, you’re overthinking it."

After a while, Gu Ningyue sent another message: "It’s only familial affection between me and my master, don’t maliciously speculate!"

What is this! How could Ling Tianyou think like that, and drag in the master too? Her feelings for Xia Yingbai are pure, okay?

Even through the screen, Ling Tianyou could sense Gu Ningyue’s annoyed demeanor, he chuckled: "That’s good. Otherwise, I might have a headache!"

Since Gu Ningyue doesn’t like him, he could still strive and have confidence in making her fall for him.

But if Gu Ningyue likes women, he wouldn’t have any tricks for that.

More importantly, her master is involved.

This time, he’s fully understood the significance of Xia Yingbai to Gu Ningyue.

He can confidently surpass anyone, but when it comes to Xia Yingbai, he’s powerless.

For the first time, he felt a sense of relief.

Relief that Xia Yingbai isn’t a person, so there won’t be a conflict with himself.

Otherwise, just seeing that face in the photo, he’d have no confidence to win.

Gu Ningyue asked: "You haven’t answered me! What do you think about this matter?"

Ling Tianyou chuckled, slightly amused by Gu Ningyue’s persistence: "I’ve never really thought about it, since it’s other people’s business. If there’s someone I know who likes the same sex, as long as it doesn’t bother those around them, it’s their own affair."

Reading Ling Tianyou’s words, Gu Ningyue suddenly felt they still had a lot of similarities between them in certain aspects.

"Yeah, that’s what I think too." Gu Ningyue replied.

"Ding dong——"

Ling Tianyou: "You haven’t answered me yet, why did you suddenly think to ask about this?"

This girl can’t possibly be that bored, just coming to ask him for no reason!

"Ding dong——"

Gu Ningyue: "Aren’t you busy today?"

Upon seeing Gu Ningyue’s reply, Ling Tianyou realized Gu Ningyue didn’t actually know how to answer his question.

It seems someone like that has appeared among the people Gu Ningyue knows.

Could they be eyeing Gu Ningyue? At this thought, Ling Tianyou furrowed his brow.

After thinking for a while, Ling Tianyou replied to Gu Ningyue: "Don’t fret over trouble, we’re getting engaged, I will always trust you."

This might be the best promise he can give on this matter.

Gu Ningyue was stunned, what happened? Sent the wrong message? No, the engagement is between her and Ling Tianyou!

What trouble not to fear? Where’s the trouble? Could it be Jin Chenglong’s business?

If so, the topic shifted way too fast!

Gu Ningyue was bewildered and simply didn’t reply to Ling Tianyou’s message.

Ling Tianyou waited for a long time, and seeing Gu Ningyue hadn’t replied, his belief in his previous thought grew even firmer.
