Gu Ningyue left the hospital at nine in the evening. As she just sat in the car at the intersection, she saw a familiar vehicle pass by in front of her.
In that black sports car, a perfect profile was smiling brightly.
And the person in the driver’s seat was Ling Tianyou, who just a few days ago accompanied her to Gu Wanwan’s wedding, promising that he and Chen Rui were just friends.
So late, where are Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui going?
Inexplicably, Gu Ningyue followed Ling Tianyou’s car from a distance, watching Ling Tianyou drive back ho.
Ling Tianyou actually brought Chen Rui ho?
Gu Ningyue’s mind flashed to the first ti she arrived at Ling Tianyou’s ho, where Aunt Zhang and the butler said she was the first woman Ling Tianyou ever brought ho.
In the anti, Ling Tianyou never brought another woman ho.
But now, Ling Tianyou brought a second woman ho?
This is what Ling Tianyou ant by just friends?
Gu Ningyue’s heart inexplicably burst with a fla, even growing an impulse to rush in for confrontation with Ling Tianyou.
The night breeze blew into the car through the window, bringing Gu Ningyue’s rationality back slightly.
No, I can’t just go in like that.
Suddenly appearing would just give the opponent leverage.
After thinking for a while, Gu Ningyue took out her phone and dialed Ling Tianyou’s number.
The ringtone sounded for a long ti, and just when Gu Ningyue thought Ling Tianyou wouldn’t answer, Ling Tianyou’s deep, magnetic voice ca from the other side of the screen: "Hello?"
Gu Ningyue listened intently, the other side was quiet, not even the sound of servants.
Could it be that he was hiding to take her call?
Suppressing her unease, Gu Ningyue tried to speak in her calst tone: "What’s up? I just went to see Han Yin, want to... go out for a midnight snack together?"
"..." Ling Tianyou hesitated for two seconds, "No, let’s do it tomorrow! I’ll pick you up tomorrow."
Gu Ningyue pretended to be unaware and asked, "Still at the office? It’s almost ten o’clock!"
Ling Tianyou softly replied with an ’Mm,’ but then changed his words: "No, I’m ho, just a bit tired today, so I don’t want to go out, you should rest early too!"
Gu Ningyue was sowhat surprised; she had clearly heard Ling Tianyou admit he was at the office, how did he change his tune?
Could it be that his conscience couldn’t let him deceive her?
But even so, isn’t it still a lie?
He said he was tired, but brought another woman ho.
"Alright then, take care of yourself, goodbye..."
After hanging up, Gu Ningyue looked at the lights shining from the villa from inside the car.
After hesitating for two minutes, Gu Ningyue grabbed the car handle and pushed open the car door to get out.
Locking the car, Gu Ningyue adjusted her clothes, and walked into the villa.
In this short walk, Gu Ningyue had already thought of countless possibilities.
The worst scenario was Ling Tianyou breaking up with her completely to protect Chen Rui.
But according to Chen Rui’s ’goddess style,’ she shouldn’t employ Gu Wanwan’s green tea tactics.
Pretending to be weak and pitiful to gain Ling Tianyou’s protection.
That wouldn’t quite match sothing Chen Rui would do.
The butler was surprised to see Gu Ningyue suddenly return, "Young Madam, you’ve co back!"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Back to get so change of clothes. Where’s Tianyou?"
The butler’s expression stiffened, "President Ling is inside."
Coldly smiling inside, Gu Ningyue pushed past the butler and stepped inside.
Upon seeing Chen Rui talking to Ling Tianyou in the living room, Gu Ningyue’s fingers subconsciously clenched into a fist: "So this is what you ant by tired?"
Just hearing Ling Tianyou ntion her already made Gu Ningyue sowhat unable to suppress her sadness, and seeing it firsthand was like a sharp blade stabbed into her heart.
"Ning Yue, you... you, why..."
For the first ti, the ever-steady Ling Tianyou showed a hint of panic in his eyes, unable to form a complete sentence.
Gu Ningyue’s smile turned icy as she stepped toward the two: "Why did I co back? Or perhaps I shouldn’t have co back at all?"
Chen Rui slowly stood up, her elegant white dress floating like a fairy, elevating her deanor: "Miss Gu, you’ve misunderstood, there are a few good bottles of wine in Tianyou’s ho, I just ca to take a look. Didn’t expect you to return suddenly, sorry for the misunderstanding!"
Looking at Chen Rui’s radiant, frost-like beauty, Gu Ningyue’s smile grew even deeper: "Is that so? If that’s the case..."
Gu Ningyue shifted her gaze to Ling Tianyou: "Could you explain the things you said earlier on the phone? I asked you to join for dinner, you claid to be tired, but turned around and brought Chen Rui to the villa to look at your wine collection?"
"It’s not what you think." Ling Tianyou slightly furrowed his brows: "Can we go upstairs to talk? No need to let others see the joke."
As he spoke, Ling Tianyou reached to grab Gu Ningyue’s hand.
But the next mont, Gu Ningyue had already flung away his wrist, coldly looking at him: "Let’s talk right here! If your conscience is clear, why avoid others?"
Ling Tianyou realized Gu Ningyue was truly angry and sighed in his heart, then looked at Chen Rui: "I’m sorry, you should leave now! You can take the bottle of wine you like and enjoy it slowly!"
Chen Rui glanced at the bottle on the table and lightly shook her head: "No need, I’ll leave now, goodbye!"
She reached for the bag on the sofa and turned to leave.
Just when Gu Ningyue thought she was really leaving, Chen Rui suddenly said when passing by her: "By the way, Miss Gu, the other day I saw Young Master Lin with Miss Gu at the café, almost mistook him for Ling Tianyou; their dressing style is really similar, I almost made a mistake."
Gu Ningyue was taken aback, not expecting Chen Rui to suddenly co up with this.
Watching her figure disappear outside led by the butler, Gu Ningyue finally snapped back: "I was discussing business with Lin Ruixian, if you don’t believe, you can go ask Lin Ruixian to clarify."
Ling Tianyou’s expression was unfriendly, seemingly rembering so unpleasant mory: "I have no interest in your matters with Lin Ruixian; just, you seem to forget your identity."
She was his fiancée, why would she be seen at a café with Lin Ruixian by outsiders?
Moreover, from Chen Rui’s look, it seems it’s not the first ti they were seen!
Gu Ningyue took a deep breath, "I certainly haven’t forgotten, but you seem to have forgotten that we haven’t broken up, and you began bringing other won ho, isn’t that sowhat inappropriate?"
Handling things as they stand, it was his mistake, why involve others?
