CHAPTER 197: CHAPTER 197: GIVE UP THAT THOUGHT

This is her first time reaching out to Hua Ningcan, she never involved this person before.

She originally thought it would take a long time to get a response, but unexpectedly, she received a reply shortly after sending the message.

"President Ling doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today, he scolded two managers during the meeting."

Indeed, Ling Tianyou was extremely angry about her actions.

But if you think about it carefully, he investigated her first, leaving her with no privacy at all, which is also quite excessive!

Perhaps apart from investigating her master, he might have also thoroughly checked everything about her former self!

It’s just a pity, the past of her former self was really quite pitiful.

Ling Tianyou should have felt some compassion for her, shouldn’t he?

Thinking this way, Gu Ningyue asked again, "Did he say anything unusual? Or did he make any phone calls to anyone?"

Hua Ningcan: "Well, it seems not. Young Madam, did you argue with President Ling?"

Gu Ningyue remained silent for a while: "No."

How could this be considered an argument! Ling Tianyou was just angry by himself.

Gu Ningyue put down the phone, her mind already beginning to ponder choosing a burial plot for herself when she returns.

The sound of water in the bathroom continued, but suddenly a notification sound came from the phone on the table: "Ding Dong—"

The screen lit up, displaying a WeChat notification: "Rui Xian, your Uncle Chen’s daughter returned to the country recently. I forwarded her WeChat to you, go and chat."

Gu Ningyue’s heart skipped a beat, last name Chen, just returned, it’s Chen Rui!

For some reason, Gu Ningyue immediately locked onto her.

Sure enough, before long, a business card recommendation popped up.

Gu Ningyue glanced at it, the avatar was indeed Chen Rui’s face.

It’s really her! Gu Ningyue’s lips curled into an unexpected smile.

But, isn’t Chen Rui interested in Ling Tianyou? Why agree to this kind of thing?

She didn’t think Chen Rui, such a smart person, wouldn’t know how to refuse a matchmaking proposal.

That only leaves one possibility, Chen Rui herself is willing!

Thinking this way, Gu Ningyue looked at the screen gradually dimming on the table, and some emotions that weren’t supposed to exist started to emerge.

After a while, Lin Ruixian walked out of the bathroom dressed in white.

His skin was originally good, his features delicate.

This outfit would look common and earthy on others, but on him, it made him resemble a transcendent celestial being.

Gu Ningyue couldn’t help but praise, "Now I know what it means by a person on the road is as gentle as jade, unparalleled in the world!"

Such appearance, such demeanor, truly makes it hard to look away.

"What? Feeling moved?" Lin Ruixian smiled faintly and reached for the phone on the table: "Don’t forget, there’s still a fiancé waiting for you in City A."

Gu Ningyue was slightly stunned, then pouted, "Don’t mention him to me, investigating me behind my back, it’s just too much."

This matter didn’t originally make her angry, but for some reason, after getting drunk with Lin Ruixian yesterday, it suddenly became a thorn.

Not sure whether some nerve got connected right or wrong.

Lin Ruixian didn’t speak, just stared at the screen with a slight frown.

Gu Ningyue was silent for a while: "What’s wrong? Not satisfied with the matchmaking partner your family introduced?"

Lin Ruixian raised his head, his gaze falling on Gu Ningyue: "Did you see it?"

Gu Ningyue nodded honestly, "I saw it, I didn’t mean to! Your screen suddenly lit up, and I glanced at it."

Lin Ruixian sat on the chair opposite Gu Ningyue and shook his head, "It’s alright, I wasn’t blaming you anyway."

Gu Ningyue said, "Chen Rui is the most beautiful woman in City A, with money and influence at home. Marrying her would be considered a privilege, why not consider it?"

Compared to the Chen Family, the Lin Family could only be considered a small household.

But fortunately, the parents of the Chen Family didn’t care much about this, so the two families were relatively close.

Though, could it be the Chen family was a bit too anxious?

Could Lin Ruixian, someone who doesn’t inherit the family business and only wants to run his small shop, really match someone like the princess-like Chen Rui?

Moreover, Chen Rui just returned to the country.

The more Gu Ningyue thought about it, the more she felt there was something fishy.

"Not considering it." Lin Ruixian looked calm, but his words were as hard as iron: "I once coincidentally met Chen Rui when traveling abroad, she has a very deep scheming nature. I’m afraid I’d exhaust myself in a lifetime with someone like her!"

He was unwilling to use his ability on his loved one every day, the mere thought sounded terribly sad, let alone experiencing it firsthand?

Gu Ningyue was intrigued, "You actually had interactions with her abroad? It seems... she had plans from early on."

If she was just suspicious at the beginning, now she’s at least ninety percent sure.

In the whole City A, there might not be anyone who could match Ling Tianyou in power, but for good looks, Lin Ruixian was unmatched.

She’s probably trying to use Lin Ruixian as a pawn to make Ling Tianyou relent?

Thinking this way, Gu Ningyue had a plan.

Lin Ruixian picked up on her implied meaning, lowered his head while replying to a message, and said, "She won’t plot anything from me, if I want to know her intentions, isn’t it too easy?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I think you are underestimating Chen Rui, she’s not that easy to deal with. I almost fell into her trap twice, luckily I reacted quickly."

The reflexes gained from previous missions unexpectedly found use in the realm of emotions, her master would surely tease her if he knew!

Lin Ruixian said nothing, after a while, he typed a line on the keyboard and sent it, before tossing the phone onto the table: "Alright, I rejected it, what Chen family’s eldest daughter, I don’t fancy her at all."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pleasant phone ringtone sounded in the room.

Gu Ningyue glanced at the name on the screen and couldn’t help but chuckle, "Looks like someone is about to get scolded!"

Lin Ruixian pouted, picked up the phone, and stood by the bed, almost half his body extending out the window: "Dad, I told you, I don’t want to fall in love for now. I’m quite fine on my own, why insist on a relationship? Big brother already has a child, does it matter that much if I get married or not?... I didn’t mean that, don’t jump to conclusions dad! You said big brother was just as if he were your own, since he has a child, stop pressing me... if you keep this up, I’ll leave... I won’t even want that shop, I can start one anywhere... I won’t meet her, I don’t deserve her, you should abandon the thought!"
