Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 532: Foolish Woman

Holding Gu Ningyue’s hand as they left, the owner of the small and exquisite cake shop, dressed in a dress, no longer appeared as gentle and serene as moments before.

Her eyes seemed covered with a layer of frost, and she watched the server beside her, saying, "Has there been any contact from the boss?"

The server nodded, "He’s already returned from country U."

The owner curled her lips into a meaningful smile, "What about Lin Ruixian? Is he still alive?"

The server responded, "He’s still alive, but it’ll take at least a month or two before he can return to country Z. He’s badly injured."

The owner looked at the dazzling sunlight outside the door, "Even if he returns, it doesn’t matter. With such a perfect couple, where’s the place for Lin Ruixian to intervene? I really don’t know what Lin Ruixian was thinking, going against the organization for this woman!"

"You’re no different," the server, no longer as compliant as when Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou were around, showed a hint of disdain in her eyes, "Lin Ruixian doesn’t even like you, yet you secretly saved his life behind the organization’s back. Did you think I wouldn’t know?"

The owner started, her gaze suddenly becoming sharp, "How did you know? Eavesdropped on my phone calls?"

The server rolled her eyes, "If you’re afraid I’ll eavesdrop, don’t partner with me next time! You think I want to? Who asked you to speak so loudly?"

The owner looked at the girl in front of her for a long time, her attitude suddenly softened, "Don’t let the boss know, or you’ll really be left alone."

The server looked at her, "Then you beg me? Maybe if I’m in a good mood, I won’t betray you."

"Alright! I’m begging you!" The owner laughed brightly, not showing a trace of desperation, seeming more like she was coaxing her.

The server smirked, "Tsk, no sincerity at all. Change it!"

The owner looked at her and asked, "Then what do you want?"

The server tilted her head in thought, "Teach me how to make a cake! The one you’re best at, ’Fairy’s Kiss’. I want to learn it."

The owner seemed obviously surprised, "Xiao Lan, you want to learn ’Fairy’s Kiss’? Do you have someone you like?"

Cheng Yulan looked at her and said, "No, I just want to learn. Just tell me if you’ll teach or not! If you don’t, I’ll call above! If the boss finds out you leaked info and saved Lin Ruixian, he certainly won’t forgive you, hmph."

Truly, what’s so good about Lin Ruixian that makes her partner care so much, willing to pay any price just to keep him alive in this world.

Cheng Yulan had never been in love, nor knew what liking someone meant, just felt this behavior was silly.

If it were her, she certainly wouldn’t do such a thing.

After all, in this world, is there anyone more important than her own life?

At least, the person she loves most will always be herself.

If one day she had to confront her partner, she would unhesitatingly choose to protect herself.

On this point, Cheng Yulan has always firmly believed.

"Let’s go!" A few seconds later, the owner suddenly flashed a gentle smile.

Cheng Yulan was stunned, "Go where?"

Gu Lingxue looked at her and said, "Didn’t you want to learn ’Fairy’s Kiss’? There’s nothing much happening now, I will teach you right away."

Upon hearing her partner say this, Cheng Yulan immediately cast aside all those messy thoughts, quickly following behind Gu Lingxue into the workspace.

After washing her hands and preparing the necessary items, Cheng Yulan looked at Gu Lingxue with some curiosity, "Didn’t your dad oppose you learning these things at first? You’re the daughter of Heimu’s deputy leader! You actually have an interest in these things."

Gu Lingxue smiled, "He’s a beneficiary, you know! He loves eating these things so much."

Cheng Yulan smirked, looking at Gu Lingxue, "Your dad is perfect, except he’s too heartless to anyone but you. If it weren’t for such a face, perhaps your mom wouldn’t have been charmed by him either!"

Hearing about her mother, a trace of sadness flicked across Gu Lingxue’s face, "Maybe! Who knows? This world never lacks silly women who sacrifice everything for love. Xiao Lan, add less water, not too much..."

"Speaking of which, after your mom passed away, your dad hasn’t had any other pursuits with any women, isn’t that a miracle!" While beating the eggs, Cheng Yulan spoke, "Just relying on your dad’s looks, he’s truly favored by time! Looks like he’s only in his thirties, rich and graceful, mature and charming, who wouldn’t be dazzled by him!"

Listening to Cheng Yulan’s words, Gu Lingxue merely smiled, "Are you falling for my dad, wanting to be my stepmom? For you to give my dad such high praise when you usually have such a sharp tongue for others, it’s really rare!"

Cheng Yulan choked, "Don’t speak nonsense! I just think your dad is handsome, has nothing to do with love. Frankly, I actually like Ling Tianyou’s type."

"Ling Tianyou isn’t suitable for you." Not thinking twice, Gu Lingxue turned and looked at Cheng Yulan, said, "He does things stably and moderately, dislikes anything uncertain. You love adventure too much, being together, aren’t you afraid of constant arguments?"

Cheng Yulan loftily replied, "Why care? As long as it’s someone I like, even if we fight every day, as long as we can still snuggle together for warmth afterwards, I’d be happy."

Gu Lingxue, hearing these words, didn’t speak again. This thought, she once had long ago.

Back then, she had already been following her father, traveling far and wide, unintentionally encountering Lin Ruixian.

The two had met without any hostility, she thought it was fate, surely she would leave a mark in Lin Ruixian’s heart.

Then, after just a short encounter, Lin Ruixian disappeared without a trace.

What he left her was only that sentence; "You and her have similar eyes, but I have more important things to do, thank you for the hospitality during this time."

The person he talked about was clearly no longer around, so why did he keep chasing relentlessly?

Before meeting him, she always thought that all men were like her father, seemingly handsome and suave, but actually quite heartless.

Perhaps for this reason, she has indescribable feelings towards Lin Ruixian!

"Oh no! I messed it up again, why can’t I get this right here!"

Cheng Yulan’s annoyed voice pulled Gu Lingxue out of her memories. Looking at Cheng Yulan’s failed attempt, she just smiled good-naturedly, "You used the wrong mold here and added a bit too much water earlier. Let’s start over!"

"Oh, okay!" Cheng Yulan reluctantly tossed the ruined attempt in the trash bin, "Hopefully this time I’ll succeed, or a few more times and I might run out of patience!"
