Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Marriage and Children
I don’t know why, but after sitting together with Ling Tianyou again, Gu Ningyue suddenly discovered a sense of security she had never felt before.
Maybe it’s because she knew everything was about to end and she was about to start a new life, so looking at Ling Tianyou’s face filled her heart with anticipation and stability!
"President Ling. Young Madam, the meal is ready!" After who knows how long, a servant came up to them and said, "Shall I serve it here?"
Ling Tianyou was the first to ask Gu Ningyue’s opinion, "Shall we eat here?"
Gu Ningyue, lost in thought, just nodded when she heard the question, "Mm, let’s eat here then!"
Hearing this, the servant acknowledged and left.
"Did you know?" Gu Ningyue said to Ling Tianyou while watching the big screen, "The happiest times in my childhood were when I finished my homework and cuddled with my mom watching TV. That was probably one of the rare peaceful moments in my bleak childhood!"
Ling Tianyou smiled, "Before the wedding, shall I accompany you to see your mother?"
Gu Ningyue nodded and said, "Alright."
Besides her biological mother, after Ye Mingchen and Gu Wanwan’s trial ends, she should also pay respects to the original owner’s mother on behalf of the original owner.
After going through so much, many things seemed to have found their own path, just following the steps, the desired ending could be seen.
But what was it that she wanted? Gu Ningyue looked at the group in the movie who finally found the treasure, and suddenly felt a sense of confusion.
Where is her treasure?
Turning to Ling Tianyou, Gu Ningyue asked, "Is this the life you want now?"
"Sort of!" Ling Tianyou was slightly taken aback, "Why do you ask?"
Gu Ningyue raised her lips, "Nothing, just that everything seems settled and there’s nothing to worry about, so I feel like the future will be very idle."
Once a person has free time, they start thinking about all sorts of things.
Gu Ningyue wasn’t truly free yet, but she was already pondering these thoughts.
Vaguely, Gu Ningyue found she had really changed.
After all, her past self used to take each day as it came, enjoying life as it was, without thinking too much.
Ling Tianyou laughed, "You’re being a bit too optimistic."
Gu Ningyue paused slightly, "Besides the wedding and your brother being induced to commit suicide, is there anything else?"
Actually, it wasn’t hard to investigate Ling Tianyou’s brother’s issue. Once the woman was found, they could know who was behind it.
Even if they couldn’t find her, it wouldn’t matter. Ling Tianyou would have surely placed more surveillance around his brother, preventing such things from happening again.
Ling Tianyou turned his head, looked at Gu Ningyue, and said, "Of course there is!"
Gu Ningyue was slightly taken aback, "Huh? What else is there?"
Could she have overlooked something? Or... had Ling Tianyou discovered the matter she asked Lu Qingqing to handle?
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou with a puzzled expression, but her fingers slowly clenched into fists.
"Getting married!" Ling Tianyou displayed a hint of amusement, "Getting married and having children, such big events, did you forget?"
Gu Ningyue felt a sense of relief inside, her face expressionless as she turned back to continue watching the screen, "It depends on your performance! If you’re not good to me, then marriage is out of the question. As for kids... didn’t we agree? That’s something far off in the future."
Ling Tianyou understood Gu Ningyue’s fear, but still smiled and said, "Gu Ningyue’s mother’s will stipulates that marriage and children are necessary. Are you sure you don’t want ten billion?"
Gu Ningyue sipped the milk beside her, turned to Ling Tianyou and said, "Of course, I want it! But wanting it doesn’t mean I can just randomly find someone to marry and have children with! Besides, I’m genuinely afraid of having children. How could I have a child with someone I don’t love?"
Ling Tianyou chuckled at her words, for some reason, hearing Gu Ningyue say this made him a bit happy.
The current Gu Ningyue had a good personality. If it were the original owner, she would probably have been forced into pregnancy by now and gone for the inheritance!
Gu Ningyue continued eating while watching the movie, which was a decent comedy. Despite some plot holes, it was quite funny, and Gu Ningyue was satisfied.
However, as she watched, a thought suddenly struck her: "Wait a minute, Tianyou, the will states that to inherit the legacy, one must marry and have children. What if... I mean, what if I give birth to a daughter? Then wouldn’t this inheritance still have nothing to do with me?"
After all, she couldn’t possibly keep having children like in ancient royal harems just to have a son to inherit the throne!
Ling Tianyou was also slightly taken aback, "I don’t think so! Gu Ningyue’s mother, I’ve never heard that she preferred sons over daughters... She loved Gu Ningyue dearly when she was alive."
Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I don’t know, and I don’t know where that will went. Tomorrow, I’ll find a lawyer! They should have a copy!"
Ling Tianyou smiled faintly, looking at the big screen, "Gu Ningyue’s mother wouldn’t be so heartless towards her, no need to worry."
Gu Ningyue didn’t respond; for Ling Tianyou, ten billion might not mean much.
But... for her, it’s money she could never earn in a lifetime!
Telling her not to worry, how is that possible?
No way, tomorrow she had to call that lawyer and see the contents of the will left by Gu Ningyue’s mother!
If it was truly necessary to bear a son to claim the inheritance, then she’d have to think of another way!
A few moments after the comedy film ended, the sound of a car pulling into the driveway could be heard outside.
A servant came upstairs and knocked on the door, "President Ling. Young Madam. Miss Lu has brought Miss Ji back!"
Ling Tianyou exchanged a look with Gu Ningyue, then turned off the screen, "Got it."
Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou went downstairs together, just in time to see Lu Qingqing holding Ji Qianqian walk in, "Hi, President Ling, Miss Gu."
Ling Tianyou and Gu Ningyue nodded, Ling Tianyou looked at Lu Qingqing and Ji Qianqian and said, "Have you had dinner? If not, I can ask someone to prepare something."
Lu Qingqing shook her head, "Thank you for the offer, President Ling, but I’ve already taken Qianqian out for dinner. Hasn’t President Ling and Miss Gu eaten yet?"
"We’ve already eaten." Gu Ningyue reached out her beautiful fingers to pinch Ji Qianqian’s face, "Did you have a good time, Qianqian?"
Ji Qianqian’s face was bright and cheerful, "Very happy! Hehe..."
