"Last ti, things weren’t right with , I told you I needed to get the Blood Jade because I was under a spell. If I don’t give the Blood Jade to Mr. Chen, he won’t help remove it, so I had no choice." Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "That piece of Blood Jade was given to by Lin Ruixian. He... knew who I was from the beginning."
She originally didn’t want to tell Ling Tianyou this, but the current situation wasn’t right, and Lu Qingqing was likely already plotting against Lin Ruixian in secret.
If she didn’t explain clearly to Ling Tianyou at this point, what would happen in the future?
She couldn’t let Lin Ruixian be dodging Lu Qingqing while also having to deal with Ling Tianyou.
She really didn’t want Ling Tianyou and Lin Ruixian to beco enemies.
After all, she owed both of them.
Particularly Lin Ruixian, she owed him even more.
Ling Tianyou slowly said, "Did he know you and Gu Weiwei before?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes! We had so interactions before. So don’t always treat Lin Ruixian as a thorn in your side. My relationship with him is very simple."
Regarding the organization’s matters, Gu Ningyue didn’t involve Lin Ruixian.
If possible, she hoped Ling Tianyou would ignore Lin Ruixian from now on.
Unfortunately, after hearing what Gu Ningyue said, Ling Tianyou beca even more interested: "Just so interactions, and he gave you the Blood Jade? What did you promise him?"
He had known for a long ti that there was no free lunch in this world.
Although he hadn’t had much contact with Lin Ruixian, just from hearing the rumors, he didn’t think Lin Ruixian was soone who would give without expecting anything in return.
Gu Ningyue remained silent for a mont and said, "I helped Lin Ruixian before, so this ti it just cancels out. After this, we owe each other nothing."
Originally, she thought so, and Lin Ruixian thought so too...
Ling Tianyou asked, "And then? Why did you both go to City Y?"
Gu Ningyue sighed at this point, "Don’t even ntion it. That piece of Blood Jade I got has to be part of an exhibition a year later. If Lin Ruixian can’t produce it by then, well... Anyway, later we heard of another Blood Jade appearing in City Y. Do you rember I told you to ask Lu Qingqing about Shangguan Wuyue? Lu Qingqing found him!"
"Shangguan Wuyue’s condition for saving Ji Qianqian was to get an uncarved Blood Jade. Lin Ruixian and I went to City Y together to help him get the jade. Unexpectedly, there were so accidents there. Lu Qingqing’s confidant was from the Heimu Organization and betrayed her during the Blood Jade transaction. Lin Ruixian and I also got hurt while fighting the Heimu Organization. The Blood Jade transaction failed, and Lin Ruixian later went alone to City Y, retrieved the Blood Jade, had it specially carved, and handed it over to Mr. Lin. This matter had a temporary resolution here..."
But it was only temporary, since Lu Qingqing had not given up on curing Ji Qianqian.
As long as Lu Qingqing hadn’t given up, this matter wasn’t over.
"So, Lin Ruixian left City A and started hiding?" Ling Tianyou asked.
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes! Lu Qingqing won’t let him go."
Ling Tianyou thought for a while, suddenly fixing his gaze on Gu Ningyue’s eyes, "Where did he go? Did he go to U country?"
Gu Ningyue glanced at him, "You still care about him. Do you like that much?"
Ling Tianyou was taken aback, seemingly not expecting her to ask this question so directly, "No one likes seeing their woman coveted by others. Especially—not !"
His gaze was sharp, suddenly sobering up the slightly tipsy Gu Ningyue, "My relationship with him is purely friendship, not the sa as your relationship with Chen Rui. It’s very simple. At least I can assure you that my feelings for Lin Ruixian are straightforward."
Ling Tianyou raised his hand, suddenly caressing Gu Ningyue’s cheek, "Then what about ? What are your feelings for ? Are they simple too?"
Gu Ningyue suddenly put down her knife and fork—strangely, she suddenly felt full...
"I..."
Ling Tianyou looked into her eyes, "You what?"
Gu Ningyue looked at his handso face just inches away and subconsciously swallowed, "My feelings for you are also... also very simple."
She had never denied her feelings for Ling Tianyou.
It was just that she probably had too many secrets, so Ling Tianyou never experienced it!
"Really?" Ling Tianyou continued to ask, "If one day I have a conflict with Lin Ruixian, who would you side with?"
He believed in what Gu Ningyue had just said, that she had no other intentions towards Lin Ruixian. But she hadn’t told him that Lin Ruixian was unimportant to her.
This ant that Lin Ruixian held a place in Gu Ningyue’s heart!
Thinking of this, Ling Tianyou suddenly felt a bit jealous.
Her heart should only have him, nobody else.
Even if it’s just a friend.
"Of course, it’s you!" Gu Ningyue didn’t know if what she was saying was true or false, and she really didn’t know how she would choose when that day ca, but her heart leaned towards Ling Tianyou, "No matter when, my heart leans towards you."
This point, Gu Ningyue was very sure of.
Ling Tianyou smiled faintly, "Really? That’s good. Then if one day I ask you to cut ties with Lin Ruixian, would you be willing?"
Feeling the warmth of Ling Tianyou’s palm, Gu Ningyue softly said, "I originally had no contact with Lin Ruixian. I forgot to tell you, before needing the Blood Jade, Lin Ruixian and I had no communication. Once these matters are over, Lin Ruixian and I probably won’t be in contact again either."
Ling Tianyou thought about it, and indeed.
When she told him she needed the Blood Jade, her deanor didn’t seem like she had prior dealings with Lin Ruixian.
"We’re just friends. Otherwise, as soon as I woke up, I would have rushed to find him, right?"
Ling Tianyou listened to Gu Ningyue’s explanation and nodded slightly, "Alright, I’ll let it go, but let tell you in advance... if one day Lin Ruixian makes angry, don’t plead for him!"
Gu Ningyue quickly replied, "Mm-hmm, don’t worry, I won’t. But there’s one thing that I think... I need to tell you in advance."
Ling Tianyou slowly released his hand, looking straight at Gu Ningyue, "What is it?"
Gu Ningyue timidly glanced at him, "I promised Lin Ruixian a card. As long as he presents this card, under any circumstances, I will do what he says. But it can only be used three tis. After three tis..."
Before she finished speaking, the smile on Ling Tianyou’s face had already disappeared without a trace, "Gu Ningyue, you’ve got so nerve!"
