Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 495: Disaster Strikes

Although Ling Tianyou didn’t want Ji Qianqian to come over and stay with herself at this point, Gu Ningyue understood it in her heart. Or rather, when Lu Qingqing said it, she herself was somewhat hesitant.

During this time, she had already enjoyed being at home with Ling Tianyou, even if it was just sitting together watching TV and chatting; she found it very joyful.

But it was obvious that once Lu Qingqing sent Ji Qianqian out, it would be very rare to see Ji Qianqian during this period.

Presumably, Lu Qingqing was very aware of this; otherwise, she wouldn’t want to send Ji Qianqian to her.

However, she was serious about what she had just said to Ling Tianyou; before the Jin Chenglong matter was resolved, she didn’t want to go out for leisure.

Ling Tianyou hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded at Gu Ningyue: "Alright, let’s go with your plan! After all, going out is meant to be fun."

Gu Ningyue revealed a smile and said to Ling Tianyou, "We can act on Jin Chenglong soon; if things go smoothly, we can go out after the engagement."

By that time, Ji Qianqian might have already returned to normal.

Because to her, Shangguan Wuyue was almost like a god-like existence.

Even if he had a breath left, he could make a person lively again.

Moreover, it’s Ji Qianqian, right?

But there was something strange about Lu Qingqing’s attitude towards Ji Qianqian, which Gu Ningyue felt was odd.

She couldn’t quite express why. However, the more she interacted, the more she felt things were a bit strange.

"By the way, Lu Qingqing seems to be about the same age as you, right?" Gu Ningyue suddenly asked.

Ling Tianyou was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "She’s a bit younger than me. I haven’t paid much attention to it, why?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t speak, and after a moment, she said: "Nothing, just thought of it suddenly."

Perhaps, she was just overthinking?

At this moment, Ling Tianyou suddenly came to a stop with a quick brake, and when trying to start again, the car wouldn’t start at all.

Gu Ningyue, sitting beside, asked, "What happened? Is the car broken?"

There was half a tank of gas left; it couldn’t be out of fuel.

Ling Tianyou furrowed his brows, "I lent this car to Lin Cheng a few days ago. When he returned it, he mentioned there was an issue with the car. Originally, he was going to repair it, but my men checked and found no issue, so I didn’t bother."

Didn’t expect it to stall here today; how disappointing!

Ling Tianyou made a call, then unfastened his seatbelt and got out to check. His brows furrowed even tighter: "Someone has tampered with my car."

Gu Ningyue checked under the light on the roadside and quickly identified the problem: "What did Lin Cheng say when he returned it to you? When did he find out the car was broken?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "No, he said on the way back one day the car suddenly broke down. I assumed it was because this car hadn’t been driven or maintained for a while, so I didn’t pay attention."

Even when he returned it, he did just a simple check and didn’t pay much attention.

Gu Ningyue looked around; fortunately, here there weren’t many people passing, and the ground was very flat. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened?

"When will your people arrive?" Gu Ningyue asked, looking at Ling Tianyou.

Ling Tianyou replied, "Just changed the route; they’ll take at least twenty minutes to get here. It’s rush hour now."

Gu Ningyue nodded; after nine o’clock, it’s when the night is at its best: "Let’s just wait, no hurry."

Ling Tianyou responded and closed the car hood, pulling Gu Ningyue’s hand: "Cold?"

Gu Ningyue smiled: "Not cold, I’m wearing fleece-lined socks inside, haha..."

Even so, Ling Tianyou rubbed her hands: "You say it’s not cold? Your hands are cold."

Gu Ningyue’s hand was held in Ling Tianyou’s palm, and she couldn’t help but let a smile spread across her lips. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Under the light, they looked like any couple deep in love, their eyes filled with sweetness.

"We’re about to get engaged, are you nervous?" Gu Ningyue asked, looking at Ling Tianyou.

Ling Tianyou replied calmly: "I suppose so; it’s my first engagement after all."

Gu Ningyue scoffed, "Who isn’t for the first time?"

Ling Tianyou arched his eyebrow: "I’ll take you to pick out the dress tomorrow. And while we’re at it, we can look at the main wedding dress too!"

Gu Ningyue was surprised: "Didn’t you say there’s no hurry to get married?"

Ling Tianyou explained: "Custom wedding dresses take months to make; let’s go take a look first! I’ll have the company’s designer show you some options."

Gu Ningyue realized: "Does it take that long?"

"Hmm, creations that satisfy always require time," Ling Tianyou said, "When you were on missions before you must have encountered some high-end custom dresses, right? How about them? Any styles you like?"

Gu Ningyue recalled: "Yes, there were some, but they were all ready-made, so I couldn’t choose. If I have to say what I like, I prefer plain off-shoulder gowns; too many patterns make me feel it’s a bit chaotic."

Different strokes for different folks; especially after rebirth, looking at Gu Ningyue’s wardrobe filled with dazzling clothes, it always felt a bit strange.

As they were speaking, those sports cars they saw before suddenly sped past and headed in their direction.

Among them was a convertible, where Gu Ningyue clearly saw two couples, still headbanging to the music inside even twenty minutes later.

Gu Ningyue withdrew her gaze, whispered something softly, Ling Tianyou didn’t hear: "What?"

Gu Ningyue didn’t answer, just shook her head: "Nothing."

At this moment, suddenly, one sports car stopped not far from them.

The smell of alcohol was overwhelming, Ling Tianyou frowned a little and protected Gu Ningyue in his embrace.

"Hey, gorgeous! Come and hang out with us!"

One red-haired youth approached them, clearly emboldened by the alcohol.

Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou, Ling Tianyou smiled: "Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

As he finished speaking, Ling Tianyou turned to face the few youths staggering towards them: "How about I hang out with you instead?"

"You?" The red-haired youth burst into laughter, then turned his head to the last stopped sports car: "Xiaobao, don’t you like men? Here’s someone who wants to hang out with us! Why don’t you take him? Hahaha..."

At this moment, although Gu Ningyue couldn’t see Ling Tianyou’s expression, she could already feel his growing anger.

These youngsters are heading for big trouble...
