Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 436: Is She Crazy?

Under the moonlight, a man and a woman holding a bunch of old things slowly walked through the dilapidated town. The night breeze gently blew, scattering some of the overwhelming feelings in Gu Ningyue’s heart.

By the moonlight, Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou’s shirt, which was already stained, and said leisurely, "I’m sorry! I put you through the trouble of coming to such a distant place today."

Ling Tianyou smiled faintly, "It’s okay, getting to know your past is quite good."

Most importantly, the girl beside him was finally willing to open her heart and reveal the softest part of her soul to him, which was very good.

This was the first time the two truly understood each other.

Or rather, it was Ling Tianyou’s unilateral understanding of her.

"So... do you believe what I said before now?" Gu Ningyue asked leisurely as she walked.

Ling Tianyou responded, "Unless you’ve set up a plot to specifically lead me here to see all this. But... if this is all fake, then your acting could win an Oscar."

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but laugh aloud, "I’ve kept it from you for so long, sorry."

Ling Tianyou stopped, turned around, and gave her a deep look, "Just one apology isn’t enough; I want you to promise me your heart will be for me alone. Gu Weiwei... can you do it?"

Gu Ningyue stopped, seemingly thinking she had heard it wrong.

Did he just call her something?

Did he call her Gu Weiwei?

The breeze blew, Gu Ningyue looked into Ling Tianyou’s eyes solemnly and sincerely, "Yes, I promise you."

Ling Tianyou slightly smiled, "Good, remember what you said tonight. If one day you betray me, I will definitely... make you regret it."

Gu Ningyue knew he was serious. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He wasn’t a saint, unable to tolerate such repeated deception and concealment.

Gu Ningyue gently nodded and looked at Ling Tianyou, "No, I won’t give you a reason."

Bringing Ling Tianyou here meant that she would no longer hide anything from him.

No matter what happened, she didn’t want any barriers between them anymore.

"So... are you ready to really talk to me about Chen Rui now?"

After just descending the dirt slope, Gu Ningyue suddenly asked.

Ling Tianyou paused, turned to look at Gu Ningyue, and asked, "What do you want to know? Exceptionally today, I’ll tell you everything."

Gu Ningyue’s face still bore tear stains, adding a pitiful allure to her already enchanting face, "What exactly happened between you and her? Why do you always protect her?"

Ling Tianyou was at a loss faced with such Gu Ningyue, actually looking at her cautiously, "When did I protect her?"

Gu Ningyue recalled the scene at the apartment with indignance, "That day at the company’s party, despite the turn reaching her, you still protected her by suggesting a change, wasn’t that protecting?"

While talking, even Gu Ningyue didn’t realize she inadvertently pouted in grievance.

If his hands weren’t full, Ling Tianyou would’ve really wanted to pinch her face hard.

He would’ve known better to let Gu Ningyue hold these items, so...

"Not protecting her, what are you thinking?" Ling Tianyou stood helplessly, "That day was to protect you; you don’t understand Chen Rui. Whatever she wants, she will get it by any means."

"Hmph, excuse." Gu Ningyue turned away, no longer looking at him, "How does this relate to you protecting her?"

He had revealed everything to her, yet now she still tangled with him like this, so annoying!

Ling Tianyou approached Gu Ningyue a bit, nudging her with his elbow, "It’s getting colder; shall we talk in the car?"

Gu Ningyue glanced from the corner of her eye at Ling Tianyou’s thin shirt, in the end still worried about him catching a cold here, replied sulkily, "Okay!"

The two walked all the way to the car, Ling Tianyou put all the items into the trunk, and then watched Gu Ningyue as she carefully placed each one, only then closed the car lid.

It was obvious she cared a lot about these old objects.

Especially that doll, she even carefully wiped it again, then reluctantly put it inside.

"Get in the car!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, turned to open the passenger side door, "Okay, let’s talk! What exactly is going on?"

Ling Tianyou had just inserted the key when he heard Gu Ningyue’s words, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, "Why rush? Are you afraid I won’t tell you?"

"Hmph, maybe." Gu Ningyue replied angrily. Originally, she was just feeling sad at the scene, but thinking of Chen Rui’s face made her uncontrollably angry.

In her mind, all she saw was Ling Tianyou risking himself to block a car for Chen Rui.

This kind of idol drama-like hero rescuing beauty was infuriating, no matter the thought!

"Be good." Ling Tianyou turned on the warm wind, fastened his seatbelt, and turned to look at Gu Ningyue, "Chen Rui grew up together with me and Chi Xingtong. No one understands her character better than I do. True, she has always liked me, but if I’m not a Ling, without a foothold in City A, relying solely on my face now would be impossible."

"Before you appeared, my dad indeed considered the idea of our family alliance, but I refused. After this, I got into a car accident on my way to the car."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Ling Tianyou smiled bitterly, "You’ve probably seen the news before, right? I stayed in the hospital for a month to save Chen Rui, and not long after, Chen Rui went abroad."

"I know about the car accident; what you said later, I didn’t." Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou, "Did you mean that car was originally intended to hit not Chen Rui?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Unexpected, right? Chen Rui found out I didn’t want to marry her, refused the family alliance, and deliberately sought a car to crash into us."

Gu Ningyue was astonished; "Is she crazy?"

Just because she was rejected, wanted Ling Tianyou’s life?

This woman must be mentally unstable!

"Although she has always appeared as a high-achieving flower of the peak, but..." Ling Tianyou paused, with a guarded expression, "The real her, even I fear her somewhat."

Gu Ningyue responded, "I can see that."

Now that she said it, Ling Tianyou’s behavior made sense.

"How did you find out about the car accident?" Gu Ningyue asked again.

Ling Tianyou smiled bitterly, "When I woke up, I always felt something was wrong, so I had someone investigate. The result unexpectedly... the truth wasn’t worth uncovering."

Gu Ningyue sighed, "Growing up together, even without love there’s friendship, right? She really could be so ruthless."

"Maybe she went abroad later because she already knew about this." Ling Tianyou replied with an unsure tone.
