CHAPTER 77: CHAPTER 77: ONLY LIKE YOU

Perhaps because Ling Tianyou had dealt with all the hidden dangers, the following days were surprisingly calm for Gu Ningyue.

Calm to the point that Gu Ningyue even had the illusion that time was peaceful, of course, it would have been even better if Su Linfeng hadn’t extended her ’vacation’ in the hospital.

In the meantime, Ling Tianyou disappeared for half a day, saying he was preparing a surprise for her discharge.

Gu Ningyue was full of curiosity, but no matter how she asked, Ling Tianyou wouldn’t say a word.

Finally, perhaps unable to withstand her persistence, he dropped a hint, "It’s something you’ve really wanted!"

Gu Ningyue thought long and hard. Something she really wanted? That would only be money!

On the day of discharge, Shen Hanyin and Chi Xingtong both brought flowers to congratulate her for finally being able to go home.

Shen Hanyin, having trained in dance from a young age, stood there in a long dress with a striking presence.

Chi Xingtong’s eyes lit up, and after exchanging a few words, they exchanged WeChat information, "I love making friends with beautiful women."

Gu Ningyue held onto Ling Tianyou’s arm, "So, did you fall for my beauty too?"

It was meant to be a joke, but Chi Xingtong looked a bit embarrassed, "Oh, come on, don’t tease me! I’ll throw a banquet to make up for it when you’re better, okay?"

When she first heard that Ling Tianyou was getting married, she did feel awkward for a while.

In her eyes, if an iceberg like Ling Tianyou were to get married, it either had to be her or a lady of noble birth, how could it be a mentally ill person expelled from their home?

Thinking back, she realized she was being narrow-minded and shouldn’t have judged so quickly.

"Great! I won’t go unless it’s at a five-star hotel." Gu Ningyue slowly descended the steps, "Tianyou and Hanyin both heard you, so you better not deny it."

Chi Xingtong said, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely lay out the most luxurious banquet for you! Han Yin, you join us too!"

"If there’s no performance, I can make it." Shen Hanyin placed the flowers she brought for Gu Ningyue on the back seat as she got in the car: "I have to leave now. I just took an hour off."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Be careful on the road."

Shen Hanyin responded and turned to leave.

Ling Tianyou looked at Chi Xingtong beside him, "Don’t you also have plans today? Aren’t you going?"

Chi Xingtong was startled, "I don’t have any plans! I’m free all day today."

Ling Tianyou’s eyes were deep, like swords trying to pierce her, "Really? No plans at all?"

Chi Xingtong’s heart trembled, "Ah! I just remembered, I do have plans. Ning Yue, I’m off then! I’ll visit you again when I have time, bye-bye!"

Before she finished her words, Chi Xingtong had already disappeared in a flash.

"Does Chi Xingtong run that fast?" Gu Ningyue stared in the direction Chi Xingtong disappeared for two seconds, then turned and got into the front passenger seat.

Ling Tianyou got into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and said, "I’m taking you to an interesting place."

Gu Ningyue glanced at her hand, still wrapped tightly, "Where can I go in this condition?"

Just now, Ling Tianyou had Ji Qianqian taken back to the villa and Chi Xingtong sent away, what was Ling Tianyou up to?

Ling Tianyou spoke mysteriously, "You’ll know when we get there."

These days, Gu Ningyue had been quite suffocated in the hospital, and even if she didn’t say it aloud, he could still feel it.

It took nearly an hour before the car finally stopped in a bustling area.

Helping Gu Ningyue out of the car, Ling Tianyou guided her down an alley.

As they passed through the alley, Gu Ningyue saw a white three-story villa.

Ling Tianyou opened the gate and led Gu Ningyue inside, holding her hand.

The courtyard was large, filled with various flowers and plants.

Surrounded by flower walls, there was even a vine swing at the back, the scene reminiscent of a fairy tale.

No need to say, just the planting and maintenance would require considerable manpower and financial resources.

As the villa door opened, Gu Ningyue’s eyes lit up in an instant.

The interior was even more stunning than the garden, entirely in her favorite European style.

"Is this also your property?"

"No!" Ling Tianyou shook his head, turning to look at the bewildered Gu Ningyue, "It’s for you!"

Gu Ningyue incredulously gestured toward herself, "For me?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Do you like it?"

Gu Ningyue nodded repeatedly, "I like it, I like it a lot!" She couldn’t like it more!

"As long as you like it!" Ling Tianyou tightened his grip on her hand, "I’ve written only your name on the deed to this villa, it’s solely yours."

Gu Ningyue looked around at the meticulously beautiful decor, feeling an overwhelming urge to give Ling Tianyou a big hug.

"Thank you!" She tiptoed, leaving a kiss on Ling Tianyou’s cheek: "Mwah~ love you!"

Ling Tianyou pressed his lips together, suppressing the smile about to break through, "Is that all? To buy this villa, I negotiated with someone all morning."

Not to mention the careful thought he put into the interior design and furnishing.

Gu Ningyue tiptoed again, giving him another peck, "How about now?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "Not enough!"

He turned to embrace her waist, his warm lips pressing deeply against hers.

"Alright, that’s better!"

After savoring the moment, Ling Tianyou finally released her reluctantly.

If not for her injuries, he truly wouldn’t want to let her go!

Gu Ningyue blushed, "Why did you suddenly think of giving me a villa?"

Clearly, when she previously bought a house on her own, Ling Tianyou seemed a little displeased.

"Since you feel insecure and want to have a backup plan, I thought I’d fulfill your wish." Ling Tianyou gently patted her head, "I just want to make you happy."

Gu Ningyue blinked, "Aren’t you afraid that if we no longer stay together, all this money would be wasted?"

Ling Tianyou smiled lightly, "At least I made you happy, your happiness weighs more than riches in my heart."

For some reason, Gu Ningyue’s heart suddenly raced, "Then I’ll remember, even if one day you don’t like me anymore, you can’t make me sad."

"Don’t worry, I’ll always like you." Ling Tianyou took her hand again: "Only you."

Gu Ningyue nodded firmly, "So will I."

Ling Tianyou looked at her, "Say you like me."

Gu Ningyue smiled, "I can’t do that, you have to promise that you’ll never bully me again, then I’ll say it."

"Alright. I promise I’ll never bully you again." Ling Tianyou replied.

Gu Ningyue was skeptical, "So easily?"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "I promise!"

Gu Ningyue seemed to weigh whether to trust his words, and after a moment of silence she finally said, "I like you."

"Doesn’t count." Ling Tianyou looked at her, "You’re just being perfunctory."

Gu Ningyue took a deep breath, "I like you, and I want to be with you for a lifetime. Is that okay?"
