Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 480: How Should I Answer

Ever since Shen Hanyin started her hospitalization, she’d been bored out of her mind.

Finally she returned home, but although life was a bit more comfortable, the days were still dull and tedious.

If Gu Ningyue hadn’t suggested taking a trip to U country, she might not have considered it. But once Gu Ningyue mentioned it, Hanyin started thinking seriously about it.

Once she recovered, she wanted to go out alone and forget those things she should forget.

Gu Ningyue smiled and looked at Mrs. Shen, "Don’t worry, Aunt. If Hanyin insists, I can go with her. Protecting her wouldn’t be an issue."

Mrs. Shen was startled, only then recalling that her husband had told her that Gu Ningyue suddenly learned martial arts, and she’s quite good at it.

The people who had been secretly protecting Gu Ningyue had seen her in action, and when they reported back, even they seemed shocked at Gu Ningyue’s swift, precise, and fierce movements.

"Miss Gu’s skills are exceptional, even a martial arts champion might not best her in a combat,"

That’s what the leader of the group reported back.

And Hanyin seemed to have mentioned this to her before.

Back then, after Gu Ningyue’s twenty-third birthday party, she brought her daughter to the club owned by Gu Heng. Not only did she beat those troublemakers to a pulp, but she also avenged Shen Hanyin, returning triumphantly.

However, at that time, she thought Shen Hanyin was exaggerating; it couldn’t be true.

It wasn’t until her husband’s sent people returned and reported that she finally believed it.

Now, with Gu Ningyue sitting right in front of her, Mrs. Shen couldn’t let this opportunity slip by: "When did you learn martial arts, Ning Yue? Why haven’t you ever mentioned it?"

Gu Ningyue froze, suddenly finding that the crab in her hand didn’t taste as good.

How could she forget about this? She explained it to Ling Tianyou, but to the Shen Family... how should she respond?

While hesitating, Shen Hanyin looked at her mother and said, "Oh, come on. Why do you need to elaborate on everything? Ning Yue has been secretly practicing for a long time; she just didn’t show it."

Mrs. Shen looked at Gu Ningyue, "Is that so, Ning Yue?"

Gu Ningyue quickly nodded, "Yes, otherwise, stuff like this doesn’t have any martial arts manuals, haha, you just have to keep practicing diligently."

Mrs. Shen said nothing, elegantly laid the crab leg aside, seemingly pondering whether Gu Ningyue was telling the truth.

Shen Hanyin turned her head, exchanged glances with Gu Ningyue, then said to her mother, "Oh, by the way, Mom, Ning Yue is getting engaged to President Ling!"

Sure enough, as soon as those words came out, Mrs. Shen’s attention shifted immediately, "Ning Yue is getting engaged? When?"

Gu Ningyue put down her things, looked at Mrs. Shen a bit embarrassed, "It’s not set yet! We have to wait until Tianyou discusses it with his family."

Also, perhaps... the engagement might not happen.

Mrs. Shen joyfully exclaimed, "That’s wonderful! You and Tianyou have been together for so long, you really should have some official recognition. Once you’re engaged, certain people should give up hope."

Gu Ningyue paused, did Mrs. Shen mean Chen Rui?

Even if they get engaged, perhaps Chen Rui wouldn’t give up!

After all, someone like Chen Rui, who even pushed a long-time friend like Ling Tianyou towards an oncoming car, is capable of anything, isn’t she?

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Hopefully! Haha..."

Mrs. Shen looked at Gu Ningyue, "Ah, time flies, you’re so grown up now. It feels like just yesterday you were in your mother’s arms. If only..."

Shen Hanyin interrupted, "Mom, why say such sentimental things?"

Mrs. Shen snapped out of it, "Look at me! Ning Yue, let me know when the date is set; I’ll give you a big gift."

With a father like Gu Zheng being unreliable, we can’t have Gu Ningyue embarrassed on such a day.

Of course, Gu Ningyue wouldn’t refuse such kindness; she knew it was not only from Mrs. Shen but represented the Shen Family’s goodwill toward her.

"Alright, I’ll thank you in advance, Aunt."

After the meal, Gu Ningyue chatted with Mrs. Shen and Shen Hanyin for a while before getting up to leave.

Mrs. Shen escorted Gu Ningyue to the door and noticed a black sports car parked nearby, and in the faint light by the roadside, a handsome face was visible.

"Is that Ling Tianyou?" Mrs. Shen asked, looking at Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue scratched her head a bit embarrassed, "Yes, I mentioned I’d get home on my own, but he showed up anyway."

Mrs. Shen smiled slightly, "That’s fine, you should let him pick you up. If your husband is not used, someone else might take advantage."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, Aunt, I’ve noted it."

Mrs. Shen nodded, "Off you go! Drop by for dinner another time, Han Yin is bored alone, you both could chat."

"Sure." Gu Ningyue replied, "I will."

"Alright, go on!" Mrs. Shen patted Gu Ningyue’s shoulder, "Tell President Ling not to drive too fast, stay safe."

Gu Ningyue responded and said goodbye, then turned and walked towards Ling Tianyou’s car.

Behind her, Mrs. Shen turned to head back into the villa.

"Hey, handsome," Gu Ningyue bent down to look at Ling Tianyou sitting in the car, flashed a charming smile, "Can I hitch a ride?"

Ling Tianyou’s heart skipped a beat, a smile played on his lips, "Of course, I’d be delighted to serve you."

Gu Ningyue opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat, "So here’s the problem, what about my car?"

Ling Tianyou glanced behind, "Give your keys to him."

Only then did Gu Ningyue notice Ling Tianyou’s assistant sitting in the back, "Young Madam."

Gu Ningyue nodded, handed her keys to the assistant, and after he got out, she fastened her seatbelt, "Just finished work?"

"Pretty much." Ling Tianyou said, "There’s still some work left, handed it over to the subordinates."

"Oh." Gu Ningyue pursed her lips, "Aunt Shen made drunken crab, it’s really delicious, too bad you weren’t there."

Ling Tianyou casually remarked, "Better than you?"

Gu Ningyue turned her head to see the calm-faced Ling Tianyou, has teasing her become a regular now?

"What’s up?" Ling Tianyou glanced at her and started the car. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "Nothing, just thought you were a bit..."

Ling Tianyou asked, "A bit what?"

Gu Ningyue smiled, "A bit of a rogue."

"Is that so?" Ling Tianyou replied nonchalantly, "I’m considered a rogue for that?"

Gu Ningyue just responded, when she suddenly heard Ling Tianyou say slowly, "You’ve seen me way more roguish, haven’t you? Why didn’t you call me a rogue then?"

Gu Ningyue’s face flushed crimson, and for a moment she was silent.
