Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 522: Uncertainty

Ling Tianyou deeply agreed with Gu Ningyue’s words.

The two people who once liked each other ended up living in betrayal and deception, finally turning against one another. No matter how you look at it, it’s distressing.

Even Ling Tianyou, who always puts interests first, still feels he cannot endure it.

He doesn’t even dare to think about how he would feel if one day Gu Ningyue fell for someone else.

"You too." Ling Tianyou turned his head to glance at Gu Ningyue, and while driving, he softly said, "I wouldn’t blame you if you like someone else. Love is inherently unpredictable. Not loving is simply not loving anymore! But I hope you won’t deceive me, keeping me in the dark. In my life, the thing I hate the most is deception."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Hmm, I know. If I end up being with someone else, would you still be very angry when you find out?"

Ling Tianyou probably hasn’t lost anything since he was young, right?

"I would be angry, but I wouldn’t harm you." Thinking about that scenario, Ling Tianyou suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Has he really liked Gu Ningyue this much? Just the thought makes him sad.

"As long as you and that person don’t flaunt in front of me, I can slowly digest it alone."

Ling Tianyou continued the conversation with a meaningful sigh.

Gu Ningyue suddenly seemed a bit curious, "What if I and that person insist on flaunting in front of you? Would you consider getting rid of both of us? Hey~"

Ling Tianyou thought for a moment: "Hard to say! Even I don’t know what I would do."

Gu Ningyue smiled at Ling Tianyou: "Seems like there’s something you’re unsure about."

In Gu Ningyue’s eyes, Ling Tianyou always has everything planned out.

The once bustling streets had gradually quieted down, and Ling Tianyou felt the gentle night breeze, his voice light yet firm: "I have many uncertain thoughts; it’s just that reality often doesn’t allow me to express them."

Gu Ningyue hesitated a bit and then looked at Ling Tianyou: "Do you think there’s a high level of uncertainty between us being together?"

Her identity compared to his status, no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t level out.

If one day one of them gives up, all the current happiness would turn into illusion.

And within this illusion, Gu Ningyue would be the one most deeply hurt.

Thinking this way, surprisingly, Gu Ningyue felt more attachment towards Ling Tianyou.

Ling Tianyou’s voice carried a hint of confusion: "Us? I’ve never thought about this issue. I just need to be sure that right now I want to be with you, and that you feel the same, that’s enough. As for the future, being afraid is useless."

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "Exactly! No one can predict the future. Better to take things one step at a time and enjoy the moment."

Ling Tianyou agreed, and the car suddenly fell into silence.

Gu Ningyue casually opened her phone and started browsing some random jokes.

After a while, a news alert suddenly popped up on the phone screen: "XXX district suddenly caught fire, surrounding shops affected..."

Gu Ningyue reached out and clicked on it; the place on fire was where Jin Chenglong lived. After they left, because the fire alarm call was not timely, several surrounding shops had already been affected by the flames when help arrived.

Fortunately, the losses weren’t too severe, and since they probably had insurance, the shop owners in the video didn’t seem too distressed.

In fact, they seemed a bit happy?

"Why did Jin Chenglong choose to build his house here? With so many small vendors around, didn’t he find it noisy?" Gu Ningyue explained the news to Ling Tianyou and then looked at him and asked.

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "When this house was first built, development hadn’t started yet! There were very few residents in this area, only their family. Later, as shops gradually appeared, Jin Chenglong’s house seemed quite unique."

Gu Ningyue continued to scroll down the page: "Has this area been here for decades? They said they were going to redevelop it in the past two years, and other small vendors have already signed contracts to receive compensation next month, no wonder they’re so fearless. Even the shops that were open at the time didn’t call the police, seems like they can get insurance and compensation."

Ling Tianyou nodded: "The developer originally wanted the land here, so these buildings are meant to be demolished. The fire didn’t have any effect; it came at the right time."

Gu Ningyue smiled gently and said to Ling Tianyou: "Just a pity, firefighters are still there overseeing, afraid that the wind will pick up and reignite the flames. This night won’t be easy."

"Did they rescue anyone from inside?" Ling Tianyou suddenly asked: "Didn’t you say you heard someone inside calling for help?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head: "Nothing written yet; let’s wait for updates! These reporters on site probably rushed to publish the basic story first for headlines."

Ling Tianyou acknowledged but didn’t speak further.

The dinner tonight was the best Sichuan cuisine Gu Ningyue had ever tasted, and the owner’s love story was also touching, "By the way, did the child survive after your friend’s wife died during childbirth?"

If the child survived, it would be a brief comfort in the remaining days.

Ling Tianyou nodded, "The child survived, but unfortunately was plagued with illness from birth, and saving him emptied their family resources. Back then, doctors said the child couldn’t be saved. Born three months premature, his heart and lungs hadn’t developed, coupled with other deficiencies, made the chances extremely slim."

"But he was firm and refused to give up, came to me, and I introduced him to a few capable doctors. At least the child was saved."

"Now his daughter should be in middle school by now!"

Listening to this, Gu Ningyue felt a mix of emotions, truly the world is made up of all kinds of people.

There are fathers like hers who irresponsibly leave, and there are people like Ling Tianyou’s friend willing to do anything for their wife and child.

"It seems he’s not only a good husband but also a good father." Gu Ningyue said softly, facing the night.

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Indeed! If it were someone else, they might resent this daughter. If not for her existence, her mother wouldn’t have died. There are always people who have thoughts like this."

Gu Ningyue smiled gently: "So, if the mother who’s no longer here sees him treating their daughter kindly from heaven, she would surely be happy too, right?"

"Yes, of course," Ling Tianyou replied, "Who wouldn’t wish happiness for their daughter?"

Gu Ningyue remained silent for a while, then softly said to Ling Tianyou: "Hmm, perhaps no one."
