Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Not Inferior to Him
Ling Tianyou held Gu Ningyue’s soft waist, "I only treat the ones I like like this, other women don’t even have the qualification to catch my eye."
Gu Ningyue leaned against Ling Tianyou’s chest, her voice unusually gentle, "Hmm, I know, I won’t run away from the marriage."
"Even if Lin Ruixian returns?" Ling Tianyou’s question was asked lightly, even he didn’t know why he asked such a thing.
Gu Ningyue was stunned for a moment, "No, I won’t leave, and he won’t come."
He’s still in the hospital in Country U, even if the engagement party is postponed to the end of the month, he can’t come back.
Gu Ningyue sighed in her heart. Although she knew it was wrong to think this way, the fact that Lin Ruixian got hurt to this extent was, in a way, a good thing for her.
At least it guarantees that Lin Ruixian won’t appear at her engagement party.
And the card she gave to Lin Ruixian won’t be used here.
Truth be told, Gu Ningyue did breathe a sigh of relief.
But when Lin Ruixian returns someday, maybe he’ll hate her!
At the difficult time of his serious injury, she had already promised marriage to Ling Tianyou.
Even though they haven’t registered their marriage, it probably won’t sit well with him.
"Do you know Lin Ruixian well?" Ling Tianyou kissed her long hair with a smile, "What if he shows up? What would you do? I’m a bit curious."
Lin Ruixian knew Gu Ningyue before he did and knew her better. Although he was confident that Gu Ningyue was wholeheartedly devoted to him, Lin Ruixian’s presence was still a considerable threat.
Gu Ningyue leaned on Ling Tianyou’s solid chest, her voice carrying a trace of unnoticeable helplessness, "My master said he’s still lying in the hospital in Country U, even if he wanted to come, he couldn’t. He was attacked and seriously injured, and he has to stay in the hospital for at least three months before coming back for further treatment. Even if he knows I am getting engaged to you, there’s nothing he can do about it."
Gu Ningyue couldn’t tell Ling Tianyou the real reason for Lin Ruixian’s injuries because, for her, she still couldn’t be as open and honest as Ling Tianyou.
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou holding her hand, warm and powerful, serving as her lifelong support. Ling Tianyou, aside from earning her affection, had many things others didn’t.
If only she really were Gu Ningyue, or if she weren’t Gu Weiwei, perhaps everything would be different now.
She wouldn’t be so restrained, with so many ties, and could freely be with Ling Tianyou.
But sadly, there aren’t so many "ifs" in the world.
Luckily, everything has passed now, just waiting for Ji Qianqian’s illness to be cured, and everything can end.
"I know, I’m just a little curious, what reaction would you have if he appeared at the wedding?"
Ling Tianyou never knew he would care so much about a woman; for the past twenty-plus years, he was never this ’narrow-minded.’
Even an imaginary situation, he would care deeply about.
Gu Ningyue replied quickly and firmly, "I would only wish for Lin Ruixian to leave, not for him to stay, and certainly never to leave with him. Don’t worry, he holds nothing over me. My master has also been found, there are no longer any ties that can bind me."
Ling Tianyou felt a bit relieved hearing Gu Ningyue’s words, "Do you know? I am really apprehensive about Lin Ruixian’s existence. I must admit, he is indeed very good. Quick-thinking, and even looks fine. He excels in many things more than the average person! If the Lin Family hands the business over to Lin Ruixian, I believe he wouldn’t manage it worse than Lin Ziyue."
Gu Ningyue said with a faint smile, "I heard that Lin Ruixian also managed the company affairs for a while early on, but later, for some reason, he stopped, perhaps he realized he wasn’t suitable."
Gu Ningyue wasn’t willing to delve into the squabbles of wealthy families. What Lin Ruixian said, she pretends it’s true.
Ling Tianyou nodded, "When we grow old, we should travel around like my parents did, how about that?"
Gu Ningyue smiled, "We can do it now! Why wait till we’re old? By then, wouldn’t it be too late for many things?"
Whether it’s beautiful clothes or trips that require stamina, they would all become hurdles before them, just the thought made Gu Ningyue feel a bit desolate.
"Originally, Tianze could take over, but now it seems impossible." Ling Tianyou wrapped his arms around Gu Ningyue, feeling sad thinking about his younger brother’s plight, "If he were here, I could let go, but now I absolutely cannot. However, if you want to go out and have fun, I can find time to accompany you."
Gu Ningyue laughed, "Alright! Then you better make sure to keep your word, don’t later keep saying you’re busy, not even leaving a shadow seen!"
"How could I not come home with such a lovely wife waiting?" Ling Tianyou rested his chin on the top of Gu Ningyue’s head, "Rest assured, I can’t bear to leave."
Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but smile, for someone as usually indifferent as Ling Tianyou, these words were still quite pleasant.
Especially after their feelings had warmed during this time, Gu Ningyue liked Ling Tianyou even more.
After chatting for a while, Gu Ningyue suddenly thought of Xiao Yun in the hospital, "By the way, how’s Xiao Yun’s injury? How much longer before she can be discharged?"
Ling Tianyou glanced at the date on his phone, "Probably not until the end of next month, before the engagement party, Xiao Yun still can’t be discharged."
Gu Ningyue nodded and reached for her phone, casually scrolling through.
Suddenly, Gu Ningyue’s eyes fixed on a news article, "Tianyou, Jin Chenglong... is dead!"
Ling Tianyou was slightly stunned; he knew this was Jin Chenglong’s end, but didn’t expect it to be so soon, "How did he die?"
"He jumped off a building, from the rooftop of a commercial building in the city center." Gu Ningyue handed her phone to Ling Tianyou, "No one had contact with him; he went to the rooftop alone and jumped before the firemen arrived."
Ling Tianyou frowned slightly at the freshly reported news, "Did Shangguan Wu have a hand in this? Did he drug him?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Definitely. My master said long ago, Shangguan Wu developed a hallucinogenic drug. After use, hallucinations occur; even an autopsy can only detect this toxin within three hours, otherwise, not even Hua Tuo could do anything."
Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised that Shangguan Wu actually used this drug on Jin Chenglong?
