Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 463: Regret

Perhaps it was because of Ling Tianyou’s presence that Gu Ningyue didn’t feel as repulsed by Gu Zheng’s sudden ’friendly gesture’ as before.

After thinking for a long time, Gu Ningyue sent a message to Gu Zheng, arranging a meeting the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Ling Tianyou was a bit puzzled, "Why not return on the day of the festival? Afraid my family won’t be happy?"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "It’s a holiday after all, and I don’t want to spend Mid-Autumn without my real family while facing people I dislike."

Li Yulan who sold her daughter for glory, and the profit-driven Gu Zheng, this couple would only dampen her spirits on Mid-Autumn day.

Ling Tianyou squeezed her hand, "In the future, I will be your family, and I will help you fulfill your wishes."

Gu Ningyue turned her head, looking at Ling Tianyou’s serious expression, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Ling Tianyou was taken aback, "What are you laughing at?"

Gu Ningyue said, "Nothing, just thinking I have too many wishes, afraid you won’t have the time to fulfill them all."

"True." Ling Tianyou said calmly, "The company is busy, and things aren’t going smoothly at home this year, my time is indeed limited."

Gu Ningyue stretched lazily, "See, ideals are rich but reality is stark."

Ling Tianyou turned his head to look at Gu Ningyue, "Time is limited, but that’s for outsiders. For my wife, even if I’m busy, I will make time."

Being gazed at by Ling Tianyou’s affectionate eyes, Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat, her face slightly flushed as she turned away, "I’m going upstairs to rest for a while. Remember to have someone diligently investigate Li Jing and see whom he’s contacting."

This man’s eyes are almost as overwhelming as Lin Ruixian’s.

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s shy appearance, Ling Tianyou pressed his lips together, a deep smile flashing in his eyes, "Alright, I’ll send someone to keep an eye on him."

Gu Ningyue responded, "I’m going up then."

Ling Tianyou nodded, watching Gu Ningyue’s back, a thought suddenly occurred to him...

If only things could always stay this way, just him and Gu Ningyue, with no one else to interfere with their relationship.

"Ding Dong——"

The phone left on the sofa suddenly rang, Ling Tianyou swiped open the screen, looking at the avatar holding roses with a smiling face, he frowned slightly, "I heard you’re getting engaged?"

Ling Tianyou: "How do you know? My dad told you?"

This matter was known only to his family, no one else had any news of it.

Could it be, Chen Rui visited his household’s old man again?

Thinking of this, Ling Tianyou applied some force to the grip on his phone.

Chen Rui, this woman, is capable of anything.

And his family’s old man has always been... Ling Tianyou, recalling all sorts of past events, didn’t move his gaze away from the phone screen for an instant.

Perhaps through the screen, Chen Rui sensed his unease, and she didn’t immediately reply to Ling Tianyou.

She quietly held her phone, scrolling through her past chat records with Ling Tianyou.

Since Gu Ningyue appeared, Ling Tianyou’s way of speaking to her became increasingly formal.

If there was some deliberate distance before, now she’s completely treated like a stranger.

What exactly is so good about that Gu Ningyue? She might be somewhat attractive, but other than that, she’s just a wild child unloved by her father and mother!

"Ding Dong——"

Chen Rui: "I happened to meet the designer from Ling Company when I was selecting a dress for the upcoming event."

"Ding Dong——"

Chen Rui: "Are you really getting engaged?"

Seeing Chen Rui’s reply, Ling Tianyou slightly relaxed.

"Yes."

These simple two words pained Chen Rui’s eyes.

Though she knew in her heart this was true, hearing Ling Tianyou confirm it still hurt.

She desperately wanted to ask Ling Tianyou what makes her inferior to Gu Ningyue, but clearly, asking such a question would damage her image.

How could Gu Ningyue be worthy of comparison? Or, what right does she have to stand beside the real princess?

"Ding Dong——"

Chen Rui: "I better give the two of you a big gift, or there might be misunderstandings again!"

A big gift? Ling Tianyou furrowed his brow, "No need, there’s no need to send anything, the thought alone is enough."

The big gift Chen Rui wanted to send, he dared not accept.

"Ding Dong——"

Chen Rui: "How can that be? I promised to design a set of jewelry for the bride before, I’ll work some extra hours these days!"

At the end of her message, she even added a sneaky smiling face.

Apparently, she truly wasn’t bothered at all by Ling Tianyou and Gu Ningyue being together.

Having spoken to this extent, Ling Tianyou couldn’t say anything further: "It’s better to accept graciously, then thank you in advance."

A few minutes later, Ling Tianyou received Chen Rui’s reply, "No need to be formal, we’re friends who’ve grown up together for so many years, it’s just a piece of jewelry, I’m still willing."

Looking at this message from Chen Rui on his phone, Ling Tianyou suddenly felt uneasy for no reason.

Could it really be that Chen Rui would just honestly send a piece of jewelry to Gu Ningyue and be done? If so, he’d truly be lucky!

After much contemplation, Ling Tianyou typed a line in the dialogue box and hit send.

After a while, Chen Rui’s reply popped up on the screen, "I’m free next Tuesday night, matters like this, I think it’s better to discuss in person, don’t you agree?"

Ling Tianyou hesitated for only two seconds, then agreed, "Okay."

This would be the last time, after this...

Upstairs in her room, Gu Ningyue lay on the bed holding her phone and chatting with Shen Hanyin.

"Do you think after getting engaged, marriage isn’t far off?"

"Of course. Why? Eager for it?"

"No, I’m just a bit worried, what if after marrying, Ling Tianyou suddenly regrets it?"

"Regret? Why would he regret?"

Looking at Shen Hanyin’s questioning message, Gu Ningyue let out a long sigh.

Yes! Why regret?

Probably because... she’s different from ordinary people?

Though it seems fine now, last time when she was cursed, it left a shadow in her heart.

If it happens again, and again, what to do then?

Now Ling Tianyou and she are in a passionate phase, uh, a barely passionate phase, so he doesn’t care about these things.

But what about the future? When all those worries she has emerge one by one, will Ling Tianyou still be the same as he is now?

"Ding Dong——"

"Don’t worry! Even if he regrets, it’s okay, your sisters will support you!"

Looking at Shen Hanyin’s message, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but smile.

Yes! There’s nothing scary about regret, she can still live well.

At least, compared to a past life, she has a good friend like Shen Hanyin, isn’t it?
