Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 501: It’s Yours Too

The car drove back to the villa, and Gu Ningyue, having experienced the ups and downs of the night, felt exceptionally exhausted as her spirit slackened. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Aunt Zhang glanced at the two’s faces, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to take Ling Tianyou’s coat and hang it on the rack, saying: "President Ling, Young Madam, the weather has been cold recently, I made some red date porridge, would you like to have a bowl before resting?"

Knowing that Gu Ningyue returned with Ling Tianyou for the engagement issue, she had already started pondering that it would be better to speak less if things didn’t go smoothly.

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I won’t have any, what about you?"

Ling Tianyou looked at her and asked: "Did you eat enough tonight? I noticed you hardly touched your chopsticks."

Gu Ningyue barely ate any dishes, except for the bowl of rice in front of her, even though her mother had piled lots of food onto her bowl. Probably due to the pressure from her father, she didn’t eat well either.

"I’m full." Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "Besides, now that I’m back, how could I let myself suffer, right?"

Ling Tianyou chuckled: "True, it must have been tiring today."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes, today was a bit tiring."

Life is always like this, ups and downs, then you get used to it.

But fortunately, Ling Tianyou still stands at the peak, and she isn’t doing too poorly either.

Ling Tianyou tousled her hair, "Go upstairs and rest! I’m going to take a shower too."

Gu Ningyue responded, took a couple of steps, then seemed to remember something, turned her head to look at Ling Tianyou and said: "Tomorrow Jin Xiaobao will report to you, how are you planning to deal with him?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head: "Just like that! Leave room for maneuver, don’t make things too final."

"Don’t worry!" Gu Ningyue said with a playful smile: "Even if you don’t handle him, he will find trouble in other ways! This week will surely be eventful!"

Jin Xiaobao’s personality is obvious just by looking at him, he’s not one to stay quiet.

Even under Ling Tianyou’s eyes, he might not be peaceful for a few days.

Ling Tianyou seemed indifferent about it, "Let him cause trouble! The bigger the commotion, the better."

Perhaps this would make it easier to send him out of A City.

Gu Ningyue nodded without speaking and walked upstairs.

Just having looked at Ling Tianyou, she sensed some emotions in his eyes, but she still turned and walked upstairs.

For Ling Tianyou to have reached his position today, surely there are means unknown even to her.

These family disputes, leave them to Ling Tianyou to handle himself!

She was going to enjoy a relaxing bubble bath and then have a beauty sleep.

The bedroom door closed, Aunt Zhang looked at Ling Tianyou and asked: "President Ling, has the old master agreed?"

Judging by the two’s appearance earlier, it seemed the Ling Family had already approved the engagement?

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Yes, once what’s at hand is done, we can start preparing for the engagement banquet."

Gu Ningyue finally became his girlfriend, his fiancée.

All those outside rumors should vanish because of this!

In his heart, there has always been only Gu Ningyue.

No matter how many women appear in the future, he would never change his mind.

This belief has been steadfast since the moment Gu Ningyue sincerely opened up to him.

Lying in the warm bathtub, Gu Ningyue started thinking about what to say when meeting Kai Qi tomorrow.

Kai Qi would surely ask about her master, she must stay vigilant not to let any information slip to Kai Qi!

And about today’s matter with Jin Chenglong, despite having backing, he still kowtows to Ling Tianyou, seems like the backing might indeed, as Xiao Yun said, just use Jin Chenglong as a temporary pawn!

Climbing higher won’t be that easy.

After all, no one is foolish enough to think ambition alone can secure high status, otherwise wouldn’t the world be in chaos?

Lying in the bathtub for an unknown amount of time, Gu Ningyue finally reluctantly got dressed and sat at the dressing table.

As she was about to pamper her body, suddenly there was a knock at the door: "Knock knock—"

Gu Ningyue’s heart leaped, she stood up and opened the door: "Not asleep yet?"

Outside the door, Ling Tianyou stood in front of her in a bathrobe, his freshly washed hair looked incredibly soft, diminishing a lot of his usual sharpness.

"I want to talk to you about something." Ling Tianyou glanced inside: "Regarding Kai Qi and your master."

Gu Ningyue resisted the urge to reach out and touch Ling Tianyou’s hair, looked at him and said: "Okay, come in and let’s talk!"

Saying that, Gu Ningyue made way for Ling Tianyou to enter.

After closing the door, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said: "Sit anywhere!"

Ling Tianyou didn’t stand on ceremony and directly sat on Gu Ningyue’s bed, beckoned to her: "You should sit too! What are you doing sitting so far away?"

Can he eat her? Ling Tianyou felt slightly annoyed inwardly.

Gu Ningyue shot him a sidelong glance, took the fruit platter Aunt Zhang had sent before her bath, and held it out: "Look, it’s fresh, want some?"

Without warning, Ling Tianyou’s arm wrapped around Gu Ningyue’s waist, pulling her into his arms.

Before she could react, he had made her sit on his lap.

Gu Ningyue’s face turned red, she struggled for a bit: "What are you doing? You rogue!"

Ling Tianyou’s arm was like a steel clamp around her waist, hardly giving her a chance to leave: "Really? That’s considered rogue?"

Gu Ningyue, holding the platter in hand, dared not speak, turned her head to look at Ling Tianyou after a moment and asked: "Aren’t you here to talk business? Then speak!"

Once you’re done, quickly leave!

In this position, Gu Ningyue felt deeply embarrassed!

Most importantly, her heartbeat started racing again!

"Hmm..." Ling Tianyou pondered for a moment, then spoke unhurriedly: "Have you decided when to meet Kai Qi tomorrow?"

Gu Ningyue said: "Tomorrow afternoon, you want to go with me?"

Ling Tianyou hugged Gu Ningyue’s slim waist: "After two in the afternoon I’m free, but before six you have to come back to the company with me."

Gu Ningyue asked: "Is there a banquet again? Or are you having a meeting?"

Ling Tianyou chuckled: "No, I’m working overtime, Lin Cheng is coming over tonight to discuss something."

Gu Ningyue nodded to show understanding: "You’re discussing work, I shouldn’t be there, maybe I should go home and wait for you! I promise I won’t sleep until you return."

Aren’t these company matters internal secrets?

Ling Tianyou lowered his head and let out a soft laugh: "You’re the Young Madam of the Ling Family, it’s mine, and it’s yours too. It’s fine. Behave! Having you around is better than me getting angry with Lin Cheng alone..."
