Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 511: No Need

When Kai Qi asked the question, Gu Ningyue just showed a faint smile: "Mr. Kai Qi, are you talking about Teacher Annie? I’m not really familiar with her, we just happened to be seated next to each other on the plane back, so we talked a bit. Are you looking for Teacher Annie?"

Annie is the name my master uses for teaching outside. A long time ago, I once asked her why she chose such an ordinary name.

What did Master say back then? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"The more ordinary it is, the easier it is to blend into the crowd."

At that time, Gu Ningyue didn’t see the necessity, but looking now, it seems very necessary.

Otherwise, Kai Qi wouldn’t be having such a hard time finding my master now.

Seeing Gu Ningyue’s response, Kai Qi looked into her eyes, as if trying to find some clue within them.

Fortunately, he wasn’t Lin Ruixian, nor did he have Ling Tianyou’s mesmerizing eyes. Gu Ningyue sat upright, her eyes clear and sharp, with no flaws to be found.

Kai Qi recalled the bits and pieces from when he helped Ling Tianyou gather information about Gu Ningyue. Indeed, there was no evidence proving any connection between Gu Ningyue and Xia Yingbai.

Moreover, from Gu Ningyue’s identity, she truly didn’t have the opportunity to interact with Xia Yingbai.

"I see!" Kai Qi didn’t seem in a hurry to ask Gu Ningyue for the information he wanted. He just glanced at her and said: "I believe Young Madam’s words, but since you’re already here, could you honor us by joining President Ling for a meal before you leave? This meal is on me."

Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou beside her. Under the table, Ling Tianyou squeezed her hand: "That sounds good."

Kai Qi smiled slightly at this: "You and President Ling have such a good relationship; it makes even me a bit envious."

Ling Tianyou replied indifferently, "On the ninth of next month, is Ning Yue and my engagement party. Mr. Kai Qi, if you’re available, you’re welcome to join us."

"That would be an honor." Kai Qi took a sip of his tea: "I’ll definitely be there!"

Gu Ningyue thought to herself, well that’s it, I was hoping to invite Master over then! Seems like I’ll have to wait until the wedding.

Sensing Gu Ningyue’s subtle emotions, Ling Tianyou comfortingly ran his hand through her long hair, completely ignoring Kai Qi, who was still single across from them.

Kai Qi coughed lightly; this man really cares for this woman, even his eyes are filled with deep affection.

If anyone dared to harm Gu Ningyue, their outcome would probably be terrible.

"During the days Young Madam was in U Country, President Ling was very worried about you. Seeing you come back is such good news."

He suddenly brought up the matter of Gu Ningyue leaving Ling Tianyou and going to U Country alone, clearly implying there’s more to it.

Although everything was in the past, bringing it up again, Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but look at Ling Tianyou.

Would bringing up this unpleasant memory again make Ling Tianyou unhappy?

Fortunately, Ling Tianyou’s face remained calm, and his gaze unchanged throughout.

It seems there’s no displeasure!

He must have completely let go of that matter by now, right?

With that thought, Gu Ningyue felt somewhat relieved.

"At the time it was just a bit of a misunderstanding with Tianyou, so I went out for a breather!" Gu Ningyue smiled politely: "After all, even the best couples have their spats, don’t you think, Mr. Kai Qi?"

Kai Qi nodded, "Indeed! I really envy you and President Ling, able to be so close even after quarrels, it’s enviable."

Gu Ningyue smiled: "Does Mr. Kai Qi not have a girlfriend?"

She always thought Kai Qi’s romantic life wasn’t as clean as it seemed. After all, with such a handsome face and wealth, there should be no shortage of women flocking to him.

He was different from Lin Ruixian, who had left the Lin Family and could come and go as he pleased.

Even if a girl fancied him, she might not be able to find Lin Ruixian.

Importantly, Lin Ruixian appears easy to get along with, but only those who truly try to approach him realize how difficult he is to engage with.

But Kai Qi, he seems hard to approach, yet when you interact with him, you’d find there’s almost no distance.

She just had no evidence; it was merely her own sense.

Kai Qi’s mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile, "No, there’s only this one person in my heart; other women no longer hold any attraction for me."

Gu Ningyue looked at Kai Qi and knowingly asked: "Is it Teacher Annie?"

Kai Qi nodded, "I’ve been looking for her for a long time, but she seems to be avoiding me. The saddest thing is that I even lost the last thing she gave me, and until now I haven’t found it."

While speaking, Kai Qi gave Gu Ningyue a deep look.

The profundity in that gaze was hard to decipher.

Gu Ningyue didn’t take it to heart; if Kai Qi knew who did it, he wouldn’t be sitting here so calmly: "Then why is Teacher Annie avoiding Mr. Kai Qi? I’m a bit curious. Mr. Kai Qi, could you satisfy my curiosity?"

She had always been curious about the matter between Kai Qi and her master.

After all, whenever it came to these topics, her master would avoid discussing them, and she herself wasn’t particularly fond of interacting with Kai Qi.

So until now, the matters between Kai Qi and her master remained a mystery.

Perhaps, it had something to do with Master’s perpetual singleness?

No, that couldn’t be! If it were true, it would be too surprising!

After all, no matter how you look at it, Master doesn’t seem like the type to be interested in Kai Qi!

Or maybe she was too occupied with missions, hence didn’t notice?

Kai Qi didn’t speak, seeming to be reminiscing about past events, yet also hesitating, unwilling to reveal what Gu Ningyue wanted to know.

Seeing Kai Qi like this, Gu Ningyue was in no hurry, she simply said slowly: "Perhaps if Mr. Kai Qi shares now, the next time I see Teacher Annie, I can put in a good word for you."

Hearing this, a light finally appeared in Kai Qi’s eyes.

Indeed! Xia Yingbai avoids him, but she hasn’t avoided these two before her.

Perhaps, meeting her again is not impossible.

With this thought, Kai Qi looked at Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou: "Actually, it’s a long story. There are some misunderstandings between Annie and me. I’ve always wanted to explain to her in person, but unfortunately, she keeps avoiding me, never giving me the chance."

Reflecting on the past, he felt great regret.

If only he could have clarified everything with Xia Yingbai sooner, perhaps things wouldn’t be like this.

And when Gu Weiwei died, if only he could have stood by her side, maybe there’d still be hope for a turnaround.

But unfortunately, now everything is too late.
