Leaving the banquet venue, Gu Ningyue sat in Ling Tianyou’s car and fastened her seatbelt. At that mont, her phone rang — soone was initiating a voice call with her.
Gu Ningyue took out her phone from her bag, and her ntor’s na appeared before her eyes: "Hello... Teacher Xia."
The familiar voice of Xia Yingbai ca from the other side, "I just finished class. I saw the ssage Miss Gu sent. I have already contacted Shangguan Wuyue, but he is a bit hesitant, so I can’t give Miss Gu a definite answer yet."
Gu Ningyue understood what that old man Shangguan Wuyue was thinking. After Xia Yingbai finished speaking, she imdiately replied, "Is Shangguan worried that Jin Chenglong might harm him? There’s no need to worry about that. I can ask soone to go along and ensure Shangguan Wuyue’s safety."
Xia Yingbai was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Gu Ningyue to grasp the situation so quickly before she even hinted: "There are indeed such concerns, but since Miss Gu said this, I will ask Shangguan Wuyue again. But I wonder, if Shangguan Wuyue agrees, when will Jin Chenglong apologize in person?"
Gu Ningyue glanced at Ling Tianyou, who mouthed the words: "At any ti."
Understanding, Gu Ningyue replied to Xia Yingbai: "As long as Shangguan Wuyue agrees, he can apologize at any ti to him. Teacher Xia can be assured of this!"
"That puts my mind at ease." Xia Yingbai responded, "Then I won’t disturb Miss Gu any longer. I will inform Miss Gu once I have news."
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Alright, thank you for your efforts, Teacher Xia."
Xia Yingbai gave a faint smile: "It’s what I should do. Miss Gu didn’t expose my whereabouts in front of Kai Qi, how could I not help with such a favor? Moreover, I promised Lin Ruixian back in the U.S. to help you."
Gu Ningyue’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly muttered a couple of sentences before hanging up the call: "Well, Teacher Xia, I’m a bit busy here. Let know when you have news, okay? I have sothing to do, so I’ll hang up now, okay?"
After hanging up, Gu Ningyue turned and cautiously observed Ling Tianyou’s expression: "Um... this... actually, I..." Despite repeatedly organizing her words, Gu Ningyue still didn’t know how to explain.
Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue’s flustered deanor, a faint cool smile appeared on his lips: "Your ntor, why does he know Lin Ruixian? And he also said that he promised Lin Ruixian to help you with this matter?"
For a mont, Gu Ningyue didn’t know what to say. After hesitating for a long ti, she finally looked at Ling Tianyou and said, "I seem to have forgotten to tell you... Lin Ruixian’s previous organization mbers... My ntor was responsible for leading us! But Lin Ruixian had already left the organization before I ’died’, having no further contact with . That’s absolutely true!"
Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue’s blinking big eyes and continued to ask: "So, at that ti Lin Ruixian was also in the U.S., and you were together with Xia Yingbai during that period? You reconnected with your ntor through Lin Ruixian, and then used Lin Ruixian to have your ntor speak well of you with Shangguan Wuyue, agreeing to help Ji Qianqian with treatnt and addiction rehabilitation?"
Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes, that’s how it was!"
The things in the U.S. were already told to Ling Tianyou by Gu Ningyue, so there was nothing to hide about that.
It’s just that Ling Tianyou was always very sensitive about the na Lin Ruixian, which made Gu Ningyue sowhat nervous as well.
"In the future..." Ling Tianyou looked at Gu Ningyue as if wanting to say sothing but hesitating.
Gu Ningyue imdiately replied: "I won’t leave you alone to go anywhere by myself in the future, really!"
"It’s not that..." Ling Tianyou smiled and asked, "Will you also put in so much effort for in the future?"
For a girl they barely knew, Gu Ningyue was willing to go to such lengths. Ling Tianyou knew he shouldn’t be jealous, but he couldn’t help but feel a rare hint of envy.
Gu Ningyue was slightly stunned: "Of course! For you, I would definitely put in more effort than now!"
Hearing this, Ling Tianyou suddenly leaned forward, staring into Gu Ningyue’s beautiful eyes: "Really?"
Gu Ningyue nodded without hesitation, "Of course it’s true, for an assassin, credibility is key!"
What’s going on? Why, after being together for so long, does my heart still race whenever Ling Tianyou leans in close?
Gu Ningyue looked at Ling Tianyou’s face. This man, he’s too good-looking! Even soone with no desires would find it hard to resist such a finely sculpted face.
"Have you ever thought about debuting?" Gu Ningyue suddenly blurted out.
This sudden question left Ling Tianyou montarily taken aback: "Debuting? Do I look so short on money that I need to do that?"
Gu Ningyue: "..."
If anyone else said that, she would definitely retort sharply.
But since it was Ling Tianyou who said it, Gu Ningyue couldn’t think of any coback.
Because, what Ling Tianyou said was true! After all, his bank transactions exceed the inheritance left by her mother. Debuting is exhausting and doesn’t earn nearly as much as what Ling Tianyou can make with the flick of a finger.
"Let’s go ho!"
After a while, Gu Ningyue said calmly and without any emotion.
Ling Tianyou returned to his seat with a faint smile, starting the car as he said, "If you want to debut, I could endorse you. However, you’ll have to pay a price!"
Gu Ningyue chuckled at his words, "What? Are you going to pressure your fiancée? That news wouldn’t be too enlightening."
Ling Tianyou glanced at Gu Ningyue and said, "Lin Cheng has founded an entertainnt company and hasn’t signed any artists yet. The variety show he’s currently preparing seems good. If you want to debut, it’s a great opportunity! Won’t you give it a try?"
Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I won’t go! These variety shows require talent—singing, dancing—they require proficiency in everything. I’m not going to compete with professional perforrs. What I have is just good enough for amateur viewers."
Or rather, for so lustful ones to see.
Ling Tianyou didn’t respond to this, just said, "You haven’t watched any variety shows for a long ti, have you?"
Gu Ningyue replied, "Where is the ti to keep up with variety shows, with so many things happening one after another, not giving a mont to breathe."
Only when she was with Shen Hanyin or others could she sit down and watch TV.
Even so, her mind was still calculating other things, paying no attention to what was happening on TV.
Moreover, before her ’death’, she hadn’t watched any variety shows for a long ti.
Regarding the current entertainnt industry, aside from a few imnsely popular ones, she was completely in the dark.
Of course, this had no effect on her.
