CHAPTER 61: CHAPTER 61: RETRIBUTION

Sai Weng lost a horse, who knows it might be a blessing in disguise—Gu Ningyue began to feel fortunate that she saved her.

However, the tricks of this hospital, thinking about it still makes her feel a bit afraid.

She pondered for a moment, then recounted last night’s events to Ling Tianyou.

However, she concealed Mr. Chen’s call.

"Too strange, the nurse just now looked at Ji Qianqian in a weird way."

Having been an assassin for so many years, she’s long trained in a different kind of sensitivity and insight.

That expression definitely wasn’t normal admiration when looking at a person.

"This matter has nothing to do with us." Ling Tianyou said: "You only need to stay here quietly for seven days, then get discharged and go home to recuperate. You don’t need to worry about anything else."

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "But I can’t get past this in my heart."

Her past life was lonely and miserable. If it wasn’t for meeting her master, maybe her fate would have been like those people!

At the mercy of others, unaware of how she would die.

After thinking it over, she decided to tell Ling Tianyou about this matter, also hoping he could intervene.

Ling Tianyou raised his brow, not understanding Gu Ningyue’s thoughts: "There are too many dark things in the world, are you going to handle them all?"

Having been in business for a long time, though not claiming to have a heart of stone, he almost never meddles in others’ affairs.

What’s more, as Gu Ningyue just mentioned, the people behind this are bound to be wealthy or powerful.

If things go wrong, big trouble could arise.

"I don’t know, I only focus on what’s in front of me." Gu Ningyue reached out to stroke Ji Qianqian’s head, "Such a beautiful child, if she hadn’t met me yesterday, where would she be now?"

Organs removed, or forced into more terrifying situations?

She didn’t dare imagine, because just thinking about it made her feel sad.

Ling Tianyou remained silent for a moment, peeled a banana, and handed it over: "Let’s wait for news first, see what’s up with that nurse, and then decide."

Gu Ningyue nodded, took a bite of the banana: "Okay."

Ji Qianqian had eaten and was sitting on the chair, grinning foolishly at Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue felt a bit creeped out by her smile, and turned away to eat.

Ling Tianyou found Ji Qianqian increasingly amusing, and while feeding Gu Ningyue from the bowl, he said: "Rumor has it Ji Qianqian has the intelligence of a few-year-old child. Do you think raising a child is just like taking care of Ji Qianqian now?"

Gu Ningyue said: "Maybe! But having a child as beautiful as Ji Qianqian would surely be a blessing."

Ling Tianyou chuckled: "Our kids will be prettier than her."

Gu Ningyue was stunned: "...Who wants to have kids with you?" How did it suddenly turn to having kids?

"You’re my wife, if you don’t have kids with me, with whom will you have them?" Ling Tianyou stuffed a spoonful of rice into her mouth: "Do you want to have them with someone else?"

"Well..." Gu Ningyue chewed slowly, thought for a while, and said: "There are many places I want to see, and many things I wish to do. I don’t want kids so early. Apparently, postpartum depression is common after childbirth. A colleague—no, a friend of mine experienced it. Her husband barely helped with the child; he’d come home, watch TV, play on his phone, and completely ignore the baby. It’s terrifying!"

Ling Tianyou looked at her, eyes filled with curiosity: "What friend?"

Aside from Shen Hanyin, did Gu Ningyue have other friends?

And don’t think he didn’t catch it; she clearly said "colleague."

Due to ’mental’ reasons, Gu Ningyue hasn’t worked since graduating from college.

Knowing she’d slipped up, Gu Ningyue thought for a while before saying: "The point isn’t about friends, the point is you men don’t help with kids, and all child-rearing falls on women. I don’t want to care for kids; I’m afraid of depression."

Ling Tianyou raised his brow: "No worries, I’ll hire six nannies for you, three for the child, and three for you. How about that?"

"So you still don’t want to care for kids?" Gu Ningyue took a sip of juice, sneering: "Ha, men!"

Ling Tianyou curled his lips, "Alright, I’ll handle it. Once you’re well, we’ll go home and have a baby, alright?"

Gu Ningyue’s fair cheeks flushed, "Let’s get the marriage certificate first!"

Why did she feel like she was being led into this? Out of nowhere, she’s supposed to have kids with him?

After Gu Ningyue finished eating, the assistant came in with newly purchased meals.

Ling Tianyou sat beside her, eating while reviewing documents.

Gu Ningyue kept Ji Qianqian entertained, creating a harmonious family atmosphere in the ward.

Once Ling Tianyou finished his documents, a knocking sound suddenly came from outside.

"Come in!"

The door swung open. Ling Tianze, dressed in a suit, walked in holding Liu Liu’s hand, who was wearing a light green long dress, and carrying things.

"Brother, you’re overdoing it—how could you not inform us about sister-in-law’s hospitalization?" Both carried things, "If I hadn’t run into Xing Tong that day, I’d still be in the dark now!"

"It’s nothing serious; didn’t want mom and dad to worry." Ling Tianyou stood up, asked the assistant to sit them, "Did mom and dad say anything?"

That day, he forgot to remind Chi Xingtong to keep silent about this.

"The moment they found out, they urged us to come here for a look?" Ling Tianze was shocked seeing Gu Ningyue lying on the bed with Ji Qianqian beside her: "Sister-in-law, is this your friend? So beautiful!"

Liu Liu secretly pinched him, and Ling Tianze immediately turned to her and smiled: "But not prettier than my Liu Liu."

"Lu Qingqing’s sister." Ling Tianyou pointed to his head: "She’s not feeling well; don’t tease her."

"So she’s Lu Qingqing’s sister?" Ling Tianze was surprised: "Heard of her after returning to the country. Didn’t expect her to be so stunning."

Gu Ningyue, who was quietly talking to Liu Liu, couldn’t help asking: "Is Ji Qianqian famous?"

Ling Tianze and Liu Liu hadn’t been in the country, how did they know her?

"Not really famous!" Liu Liu said: "Saw her photo online, posted by Lu Qingqing, it went viral for a while. What’s that phrase?"

Ling Tianze responded: "Energetic girl?"

Liu Liu nodded: "I came across it while searching for fashion tips; but it’s been a long time. Why’s she here?"

Ling Tianyou directed his gaze toward Gu Ningyue: "Ask her! She hasn’t been idle lately."

"Oy, don’t put it that way!" Gu Ningyue said helplessly: "I couldn’t just watch her being taken away by bad people!"

After hearing the story, Liu Liu was somewhat terrified: "How greedy these people are! Aren’t they afraid of retribution for engaging in such business?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "In their world, not having money is perhaps the greatest retribution!"

If there were truly retribution, perhaps there wouldn’t be any bad people in the world!
