CHAPTER 25: CHAPTER 25: YOUNG MADAM OF THE YE FAMILY

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

Gu Ningyue froze, oh no, she’s raised Ling Tianyou’s suspicions.

"Is this very important?"

After a while, she looked at Ling Tianyou and asked this question.

Ling Tianyou countered, "Not important? Is there anything else you’re hiding from me?"

Gu Ningyue was silent for a moment and then replied with a smile, "Well, that’s something you’ll have to discover for yourself! But there is one thing I can assure you, I won’t harm you."

She had way too many secrets. If she told Ling Tianyou all of them, she feared she’d be taken away to be turned into a research project.

She wasn’t that foolish.

Ling Tianyou stared into Gu Ningyue’s eyes, trying to find a clue in her gaze, but her eyes were so clear and captivating that he couldn’t find a trace of deceit.

He lowered his head and lightly kissed her lips, "Forget it, speak when you want to!"

After all, there’s still plenty of time; he wasn’t worried about never hearing her secret.

The two drove back to the villa, and Ling Tianyou said he would have people find Nan Shaoyue and ask what was going on, who sent him to trouble Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue stopped him; if Ling Tianyou’s people took action now, the opponent might be alerted.

"I don’t usually show myself outside, let me go!" Gu Ningyue thought long and hard and felt it was more reliable to personally take action: "Besides, as a ’mental patient,’ even if exposed, who would bother with me?"

Ling Tianyou intended to refuse but remembered the masked men lying all over the place today and nodded in the end: "Alright, I’ll arrange a few people to protect you secretly. If you encounter Nan Shaoyue and can’t win, just play soft, don’t fight head-on, understood?"

Nan Shaoyue was someone who, when truly annoyed, could resort to murdering.

Coincidentally, Gu Ningyue’s temperament now was somewhat fierce, so his concerns were not unjustified.

Gu Ningyue looked at him and couldn’t help laughing, "You really are like an old father."

Ling Tianyou: "..."

"But are you really sure about letting me go?" Gu Ningyue said slyly, changing the topic, "I thought you would stop me!"

Ling Tianyou glanced at her, "If I stopped you, would you really not go?"

After these few days of interacting, he certainly didn’t think Gu Ningyue would be that obedient.

Instead of sneaking off behind his back, it was safer this way.

"True!" Gu Ningyue blinked, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ling Tianyou: "Didn’t expect you to know me so well; when do you plan to start liking me?"

Just practicing with those earlier, venting the suppressed frustration for the original owner, her mood was quite good.

The sudden flirtation caught Ling Tianyou off guard: "...Can’t you be a little reserved?"

Gu Ningyue pretended to think seriously for a moment, then raised her head with a smile: "Sorry, can’t!"

Ling Tianyou: "..."

Seeing his helpless expression, Gu Ningyue stopped teasing him, "Gu Wanwan’s art exhibition is tomorrow, I’ve organized some evidence, should I send it to your phone?"

Ling Tianyou responded, "Okay."

Due to company matters, Ling Tianyou drove back to work.

Gu Ningyue went upstairs and sent the contents from her computer to Ling Tianyou’s chat box, and a few minutes later, Ling Tianyou replied with a message, a string of addresses.

No need to say, it was Nan Shaoyue’s.

Gu Ningyue: "Thanks."

Looking at these two words, Ling Tianyou felt something was missing.

Ling Tianyou: "Is there no other gesture?"

Gu Ningyue: "..."

Gu Ningyue: "I’ll get you what you want at the art exhibition."

Ling Tianyou’s lips formed a line, and he didn’t reply anymore.

Gu Ningyue held the phone, puzzled, did he not want to build a good relationship with Mr. Chen anymore?

Lately, Ling Tianyou seemed quite strange!

Forget it, no need to mind him, better to go to Nan Shaoyue’s place to snoop around and gather some intel.

Gu Ningyue went up to the full-length mirror and looked at the dress she wore.

But, wearing this outfit there would be too eye-catching.

She changed into sportswear, tied her brown wavy hair into a ponytail, and wiped her makeup clean.

Now, she looked like a simple and harmless schoolgirl.

Except for those eyes, which were like a dark and profound sea under the night, too deep to fathom.

She greeted the butler, drove away.

Meanwhile, in the Gu Family villa, Li Yulan’s face had turned dark as coal as she looked at the man across from her.

"When did that little b**** become so powerful! Why even Nan Shaoyue’s sent people were dealt with?"

"How would I know, I’ll figure something out. Why are you so anxious!"

"Brother, you must help me! Wanwan’s reputation is ruined by that little b**** Gu Ningyue!"

"Alright, I know. I’ll go talk to Nan Shaoyue again. I just can’t believe we can’t handle a little girl!"

"Nan Shaoyue won’t leak our names, right? I heard Ling Tianyou actually went to find that girl!"

"He won’t, don’t worry! But you, when exactly will you handle Xiao Heng’s matter?"

"Don’t mention that useless Xiao Heng! He’s really making me furious. Once Wanwan is married and establishes her position in the Ye Family, Xiao Heng’s future will be settled. For now, the key is to make him quit gambling! If this continues, my husband might donate our entire estate."

"I’ll have someone bring him back! Damn it, these many years, we’ve wasted so much money on him and still no repentance!"

While speaking, a phone call was made: "Take people to Shenghua Club immediately and bring Gu Heng back to the Gu Family for me! Immediately! Yes, my order, I’ll bear any consequences!"

Li Yulan sighed, "Fine, brother, let’s leave it for now! You go back, my husband is coming back."

Li Zhiqiang stood up and nodded, "Alright, I’ll go first."

Li Yulan accompanied him to the door, Li Zhiqiang suddenly turned around, leaned closer, and asked softly, "Xiang Bei’s whole family returned to City A, does Gu Zheng know about your affair with Xiang Bei?"

Li Yulan’s expression changed slightly: "He doesn’t know, but when I played mahjong with Mrs. Chen and others, I did bump into his wife. Same as before, a dull person, with small-mindedness!"

A daughter from a lowly family, does she deserve someone from a financial dynasty like Xiang Bei?

Back then, if she hadn’t chosen Gu Zheng, what business would Lin Yaya have?

Li Zhiqiang seemed to see through his sister’s thoughts, lowered his voice and advised, "I urge you not to act foolishly. Right now, our priority is for Gu Zheng to work for the Ye Family, for Wanwan to become the Young Madam of the Ye Family."

"Don’t worry, I understand."

Nonetheless, now that Xiang Bei is back, given his past feelings for her, if she asks, presumably, even if she demands a mountain of gold, he would unhesitatingly bring it to her!

After all, she did save Xiang Bei’s life back in the day!
