To be safe, Gu Ningyue still learned so basic information about Chen Rui from Chi Xingtong.
To know the enemy and yourself is the way to win every battle. Of course, before defeating an opponent, you need to gather so information and understand them deeply.
"Chen Rui is best at understanding people’s hearts. Every ti the three of us were together, Tianyou always leaned towards her." Thinking of the past, Chi Xingtong bit her straw hard: "Fortunately, we all went abroad later; otherwise, Tianyou might have really ended up with her."
Gu Ningyue asked, "Does she like Ling Tianyou?"
If she liked him, why did she go abroad?
It was heard that Chi Xingtong left City A because of her family.
Could it be the sa for Chen Rui?
"I don’t know." When asked this question, Chi Xingtong surprisingly hesitated: "There were way more people pursuing Chen Rui than , many of them outstanding young n with wealthy families. But Chen Rui never dated anyone; her only male friend was Tianyou. As for whether she had a boyfriend while abroad, I don’t know. But this ti she ca back, it’s most likely, just like , because of Ling Tianyou."
The years she and Chen Rui fought over Ling Tianyou, even Chi Xingtong wasn’t sure if she liked Ling Tianyou, or if she had just gotten used to competing with Chen Rui.
Gu Ningyue looked up and down at Chi Xingtong: "Are you sure you ca back for Ling Tianyou?"
"Cough, cough..." Chi Xingtong coughed twice: "Mainly, I missed ho, okay!"
Gu Ningyue curled the corners of her mouth: "I heard Tianyou never married because he was waiting for Chen Rui? Is this true or false?"
"False!" Chi Xingtong replied with certainty: "Tianyou isn’t waiting for her! That’s just rumors. I went abroad first, then Chen Rui did; they spent a lot of ti together alone afterward and many things happened, so the outside world just assud they were a couple."
"What things?" Gu Ningyue asked, "Tell ?"
Chi Xingtong said: "Actually, it’s nothing, just a few comical misunderstandings..."
After finishing the al, Gu Ningyue already had so ideas in her mind.
From Chi Xingtong’s description, Chen Rui might have been a unique existence to Ling Tianyou.
Looking at Ling Tianyou’s attitude toward Chen Rui over the phone, it’s definitely not the sa as the brotherly feeling he has for Chi Xingtong.
Thinking about this, inexplicably, Gu Ningyue felt a little unhappy inside.
Heh, this is what n are like!
Saying they like you, but still thinking about their old childhood sweetheart in their hearts.
While taking a taxi, Gu Ningyue took out her phone and sent a ssage to Ling Tianyou, "Are you busy?"
After waiting for a while, the phone remained silent.
In the past, Gu Ningyue probably wouldn’t have cared.
But today, it inexplicably felt unsettling.
"Where to?" The driver, who stopped in front of her, asked Gu Ningyue.
Gu Ningyue thought for a mont and gave the address of Lin Ruixian’s shop.
The driver chatted along the way, but Gu Ningyue had no mind to engage, she just stared at her phone, unsure of what she was thinking,
When she arrived at the shop, Gu Ningyue’s phone still hadn’t buzzed with a ssage notification.
So she decided not to wait any longer and put her phone in her bag.
"Hi." Gu Ningyue greeted Lin Ruixian, who was standing at the counter inside the shop: "I’m here again!"
Lin Ruixian noticed her unbandaged arm at once, "Oh, regained your freedom?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Unfortunately, the muscles are still a bit stiff, not very convenient."
Lin Ruixian smiled lightly and walked over to a table, pulling out a chair: "Sit down! We’re opening next week as well. I can make an exception for you, what would you like to eat? It’s on today."
"That’s so embarrassing." Gu Ningyue sized up his expression, "What’s the occasion? Does the boss have sothing to celebrate?"
Looking at Lin Ruixian, he seed to be in a particularly good mood.
Compared to when they t on the road the other day, he was visibly cheerful.
"Bingo! Correct answer wins a prize!" Lin Ruixian’s delicate face was radiant in the sunlight, just like before, easily captivating people: "So family issues are almost completely resolved."
Gu Ningyue hesitated for a mont and said: "Is it what you ntioned the other day about so sister of yours?"
Lin Ruixian scratched his head, looking innocent: "You heard that!"
"Just a bit." Gu Ningyue smiled: "After all, you were speaking rather loudly at the ti; it was hard to pretend I didn’t hear."
Lin Ruixian said: "It’s actually nothing, a sister’s son in the family died in a car accident, and the at-fault party didn’t want to take responsibility, so my sister ca to , hoping I’d help since I know so people."
Gu Ningyue nodded: "After raising him so diligently, losing him just like that must be very painful for your sister."
"Heh." Lin Ruixian showed a trace of disdain: "Maybe so!"
Perhaps it was just hard for her to accept not getting sothing.
"Alright, let’s not talk about unpleasant things." Lin Ruixian asked soone to bring over the nu, handing it to Gu Ningyue: "The chef happens to be here today, order whatever you like!"
Gu Ningyue responded, ordered a few things at random, and then turned her gaze back to Lin Ruixian: "Are you busy? If not, chat with ? It’s quite boring alone."
Lin Ruixian scrutinized Gu Ningyue’s charming face, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, then joked: "Don’t you have a boyfriend? You co here so often, won’t I be misunderstood? Hahaha..."
With how beautiful Gu Ningyue is, it’s hard to imagine her being single.
"Well!" Gu Ningyue gave a mysterious smile: "Guess!"
So things, even if they aren’t said, Lin Ruixian would probably find out!
Knowing Lin Ruixian’s personality, if he were really interested, he wouldn’t let it rest.
Now that he could ask this question, it seems his interest isn’t very strong.
Lin Ruixian didn’t speak, and after a while, he looked at Gu Ningyue and said: "If you don’t have a boyfriend, why not consider ? I might not have much money, but supporting a girlfriend is no problem."
His eyes suddenly beca exceptionally deep, and if Gu Ningyue didn’t already know his abilities, she might have succumbed to his baritone voice then.
She quickly lowered her head, pretending to be shy: "That would be inappropriate!"
Seeing her action, Lin Ruixian’s initial doubts grew: "You really do resemble an old friend of mine."
Gu Ningyue was startled and suddenly rembered that during their previous partnership, Lin Ruixian had jokingly made similar comnts.
And she had responded in the sa way, diverting attention.
Her reaction now was an exact replica of her past life.
Thinking this, she raised her head and looked at Lin Ruixian: "I actually have a boyfriend! So, apologies!"
