Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 528: Just a Child

Gu Ningyue listened to Ji Qianqian’s words, a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes: "Your Sister Qingqing also has her parents! It’s not just you, Qianqian!"

Although she wasn’t very clear about the relationship between Ji Qianqian and Lu Qingqing, Gu Ningyue still had to tell Ji Qianqian this reality.

Ji Qianqian blinked her eyes and looked at Gu Ningyue: "But Sister Qingqing’s parents can’t be with her for her whole life! Qianqian can."

There was determination in Ji Qianqian’s expression, which made Gu Ningyue stand still, even forgetting to move: "What if your Sister Qingqing gets married?"

Since Lu Qingqing is single now, she can certainly take care of Ji Qianqian.

But what about when she gets married? Ji Qianqian can’t possibly become a maid like in ancient times!

Even if Ji Qianqian is willing, Lu Qingqing can’t bear such grievances.

Perhaps after joining her husband’s family, it would end up being Lu Qingqing’s husband who has to take care of both Lu Qingqing and Ji Qianqian.

After all, seeing how attentive Lu Qingqing is to Ji Qianqian, there’s no way Qianqian would be mistreated.

Upon hearing Gu Ningyue’s question, Ji Qianqian lowered her head. She had never thought about this question.

Yes! What if Sister Qingqing gets married?

She probably wouldn’t treat me as well anymore, right? I would have to live alone in that big house again.

Thinking of this, Ji Qianqian’s eyes suddenly reddened.

"Sister, does Sister Qingqing already have someone she likes?"

Is this why she sent me to Gu Ningyue?

Hearing Ji Qianqian’s nasal voice tinged with jealousy, Gu Ningyue finally realized she had caused trouble, "No, no, Qianqian, shall we go to sleep? It’s time to rest. This afternoon, I’ll take you out to play. How about that?"

Ji Qianqian nodded quietly, obediently lying on the bed and pulling the blanket over her head.

Gu Ningyue reached out to pull down the blanket, then saw tears rolling down Ji Qianqian’s face.

The fair and beautiful young girl now looked at her with tear-stained cheeks.

Gu Ningyue felt a twinge of pain in her heart, deeply regretting her earlier words.

"Qianqian, stop crying, alright?" Gu Ningyue sat on the edge of the bed, coaxing Ji Qianqian: "Sister was just joking with you! Your Sister Qingqing doesn’t have anyone she likes, and even if she did, our Qianqian is the most important. No one can surpass Qianqian!"

Ji Qianqian looked timidly at Gu Ningyue and asked, "Will Sister Qingqing still come to take me home, sister?"

Gu Ningyue nodded solemnly: "Of course, you’re so lovable, how could your Sister Qingqing not come to get you?"

"Really?" Ji Qianqian looked at Gu Ningyue, seemingly a bit doubtful: "Will Sister Qingqing really come?"

Gu Ningyue took two tissues and wiped away Ji Qianqian’s tears: "She really will come! Even you don’t believe me, Qianqian? Oh, I’m really sad now!"

Perhaps it was because her feelings for Gu Ningyue were genuinely different, seeing Gu Ningyue express sadness, she quickly said: "No, Qianqian believes you, sister!"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ji Qianqian: "If you believe me, you can’t cry anymore. Sleep well. Alright?"

Ji Qianqian nodded vigorously, "Alright! Qianqian will listen, and sleep well."

Only then did Gu Ningyue smile, watching Ji Qianqian close her eyes, she gently touched her forehead before leaving.

Just after closing the door, Gu Ningyue let out a long sigh.

She really was bored, getting into such trouble!

If Lu Qingqing found out, wouldn’t she peel off a layer of her skin?

Though it would be difficult, this feud was definitely going to happen.

Just thinking about it, Gu Ningyue felt a little scared.

Aunt Zhang, just finished tidying the kitchen, came out and saw Gu Ningyue standing at the door with a face full of dread: "Young Madam, what’s wrong? Is there something up?"

Gu Ningyue was startled, then shook her head: "Nothing. This afternoon, Tianyou and I need to go out for a while, I don’t know how long Qianqian will nap, so if she doesn’t wake up, we might not take her along. Aunt Zhang, please take care in the villa, and when Tianyou and I return, we’ll take Qianqian out for a bit."

Aunt Zhang thought it was something major, but hearing Gu Ningyue said this, she immediately smiled: "Young Madam, don’t worry! I’ll treat Miss Ji like our own young lady! Rest assured!"

Aunt Zhang had always been reliable, so Gu Ningyue felt at ease, exchanged a few more words, then yawned and went up the stairs.

Lying on the soft big bed, Gu Ningyue felt puzzled, how come after sleeping so long yesterday, she’s still feeling sleepy now?

Could something be wrong with her body again? As Gu Ningyue thought about this, her sleepiness lessened considerably.

After thinking carefully for a while, perhaps she had been very busy lately, and not sleeping well at night, so maybe she’s just tired?

She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, and after an unknown amount of time, she heard a sexy voice from outside the door: "Ning Yue, are you still asleep? Time to get up!"

Gu Ningyue groggily sat up, rubbed her eyes, got out of bed, and opened the door: "Is it almost three?"

Ling Tianyou, already dressed, stood neatly in front of her: "Yes. You freshen up a bit, and we should be going."

"Oh alright, let me get ready." Gu Ningyue turned and went into the bathroom.

About ten minutes later, Gu Ningyue reappeared in front of Ling Tianyou: "Let’s go!"

Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue: "Did you not rest?"

"I did rest!" Gu Ningyue sized up Ling Tianyou: "Why do you ask?"

Ling Tianyou reached out, tucking her hair behind her ear, then took her hand: "Then why still the worried look?"

Gu Ningyue roughly recounted the events before her nap to Ling Tianyou, with a tone full of indescribable regret: "Ah, had I known, I wouldn’t have said anything. Why did I tell her all that? If Lu Qingqing knew I made her beloved little friend cry, wouldn’t she be furious?"

Hearing this, Ling Tianyou, however, smiled: "You’re overthinking, do you believe that once Ji Qianqian wakes up she’ll forget what you said?"

Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou: "Really?"

Ling Tianyou smiled slightly and said: "Anyway, that’s how Xuanxuan is, after a nap and a fun time, if you asked him why he cried earlier, he wouldn’t remember."

And right now, Ji Qianqian’s mental age is about the same as Ling Xuan’s.

Gu Ningyue pondered Ling Tianyou’s words, nodded to him: "What you said kind of makes sense."

After all, Ji Qianqian is just a kid now.

"Alright, let’s go!" Ling Tianyou took Gu Ningyue’s hand and they headed downstairs: "The weather is nice today, after our errands, you could take Ji Qianqian out for a stroll."

Ning Yue nodded and asked: "What about you? Joining too?"

Ling Tianyou, going down the stairs, replied: "Do you want me to come along?"
