Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 502: People Are All Selfish

Feeling the warmth of Ling Tianyou’s arm, Gu Ningyue’s face seemed to grow two degrees hotter.

"When shall we go pick up Qianqian?" After a while, Gu Ningyue softly asked.

Ling Tianyou chuckled, "Anytime, you decide."

As he spoke, Ling Tianyou suddenly bent down and rubbed her face.

His chin was unshaven, with some fine stubble, which made Gu Ningyue feel a bit ticklish, unable to suppress a slight smile at the corner of her mouth: "What are you doing? It tickles."

Ling Tianyou smiled lightly, "We’re getting engaged next month, are you looking forward to it? You’ll soon be the rightful Young Madam of the Ling Family."

His voice was magnetic, and Gu Ningyue’s heartbeat accelerated, yet she still tried to remain calm: "It’s just an engagement, not a wedding, no big deal!"

Ling Tianyou loosened his grip on her, placing the fruit platter she had been holding on the bedside cabinet, then picked up a piece of apple with a toothpick and held it to Gu Ningyue’s lips: "How can we get married without an engagement? It’s just the first step in the process."

Gu Ningyue stared at the apple in front of her, hesitated for two seconds before taking it into her mouth, murmuring unclearly, "There’s still a long way to go to marriage! No rush, no rush."

Ling Tianyou chuckled, placed the toothpick back into the fruit platter, and wrapped his arms around Gu Ningyue: "I want to get married today, to be with you forever. Just us."

No Lin Ruixian, no Chen Rui, none of those messy affairs, only the two of us.

This sentence Ling Tianyou silently recited in his mind.

Gu Ningyue’s heart, which was already beating fast, now sped up even more, the blush on her face became more intense: "Why are you suddenly being so mushy?"

Ling Tianyou had always been cold, she rarely heard such tender words from him.

The words lingered in her ears, even making Gu Ningyue’s ears burn red from the sweet talk.

"Was I? I was just expressing my thoughts," Ling Tianyou teased as he noticed her already flushed ear tips, "Your ears turned red, what’s going on? What are you thinking? Hmm?"

Gu Ningyue was embarrassed, not knowing what to say, "I’m not, don’t say such things! Hey... Why are you blowing in my ear? You’re a pervert!"

Ling Tianyou’s eyes and brows were full of smile: "Your ears can move?"

He had just blown air into Gu Ningyue’s ear and then saw her ear move a little, which was quite adorable.

Gu Ningyue blushed and held Ling Tianyou’s hand placed on her lower abdomen, "We’ve talked enough, you should go now, I’m sleepy."

Ling Tianyou didn’t move, his magnetic voice rang beside her ear: "You called me husband very smoothly today, call me one more time and I’ll leave."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, then looked at Ling Tianyou: "You... you haven’t heard enough, huh!"

It was just needed for the situation at the time, he should know that!

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "No, I’d never get tired of hearing it in a lifetime."

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "If I say it one more time, you’ll go?"

Ling Tianyou raised his handsome eyebrows: "I’ll leave if I’m satisfied."

Gu Ningyue: "..." So he’s intent on staying here tonight?

Suddenly realizing it, back at the door, Ling Tianyou’s smile was indeed a bit sly.

Blame herself for not reactively realizing it.

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "Do you want to stay tonight?"

Instead of waiting for Ling Tianyou to use some trick to stay, she might as well say it herself, at least keeping the initiative in her own hands.

Ling Tianyou chuckled softly: "Yes! Is it okay?"

Gu Ningyue turned her head, her bright eyes looking at Ling Tianyou: "Okay, but just for tonight. Tomorrow, you have to go back to your room."

Ling Tianyou nodded cheerfully: "Alright!"

Gu Ningyue didn’t know what to say, feeling like she’d been fooled in the end: "Did you already know I would let you stay?"

Ling Tianyou smiled without speaking, paused and then replied: "Alright, it’s late, time to sleep."

As he spoke, Ling Tianyou reached out and turned off the only bedside lamp that was lit in the room.

Gu Ningyue was about to say she hadn’t done her skincare yet, but before she could speak, Ling Tianyou had already wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her down onto the bed.

Gu Ningyue moved a little, grabbed a pillow, and lay down on the bed, her heartbeat gradually slowing down.

"Ning Yue, come a little closer!" Ling Tianyou’s voice was gentle, like the hazy moonlight outside.

Gu Ningyue instinctively moved closer to Ling Tianyou, who reached out an arm to embrace her shoulders and pulled her over to face him: "Afraid of me?"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou’s deep eyes, deeply attracted by the light in them: "No, why would I be afraid of you?"

Though she said this, Gu Ningyue was still a bit stuttering.

Ling Tianyou’s lips curved up, his handsome face even more striking: "If you’re not afraid of me, why are you stuttering? Hmm?"

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue, reaching out to gently tuck her stray hair behind her ear, revealing a delicate face.

This face was truly something one could never tire of looking at.

Especially those clear, sharp eyes, exactly like the ones he loved.

He liked girls like this, liked Gu Ningyue like this.

Even if he met her in a sea of people, he would still be drawn to take another look at these eyes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, indeed this is true.

He could even, through these eyes, see deep into Gu Ningyue’s innermost soul.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Gu Ningyue didn’t respond to Ling Tianyou, instead, she looked at him and asked.

Ling Tianyou’s slender fingers caressed her face, his voice earnest: "Our child will surely be very beautiful."

Gu Ningyue was stunned, "Do you really like children?" Ling Tianyou brought up this topic for the second time today.

Ling Tianyou chuckled: "I think I’ll love our child very much."

Gu Ningyue pressed her lips together, not saying anything.

After a while, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "I’m very afraid of giving birth, I’ve heard it’s very painful. If you really like children, I... might disappoint you in the future."

She didn’t want kids, or rather, she had never thought about this issue.

Ling Tianyou knew Gu Ningyue was scared, especially after Liu Liu told her about the pain of delivering Ling Xuan, Gu Ningyue avoided the topic.

"It’s okay, I just want you." Ling Tianyou pulled Gu Ningyue into his embrace: "It’s okay not to have children, as long as we’re together, it’s enough."

His voice was soft, but Gu Ningyue knew he was serious.

Yet just by observing Ling Tianyou’s patience and care for Ling Xuan, she could understand how much Ling Tianyou loved children.

It’s just a pity, people are selfish, and she is not prepared to change for him...
