CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 93: TRULY LOST THEIR MIND

When the grand stage curtain fell, Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou came to the front of the stage.

Shen Hanyin looked at the flowers Ling Tianyou handed over, a hint of joy in her eyes: "Thank you!"

These are her favorite pink roses, obviously prepared by Gu Ningyue.

Gu Ningyue glanced at the crowd rushing in for photos and autographs, shaking her phone: "We’ll head back first, catch up later."

Shen Hanyin, having practiced dance for so many years, had finally become the star of the troupe, so it was better not to be the ’third wheel’ here.

Shen Hanyin nodded while holding the flowers, then suddenly grabbed Gu Ningyue, puzzled: "Wait, come over here, I need to ask you something."

Gu Ningyue followed Shen Hanyin aside, puzzled: "What’s up? Is Ji Zhiye causing trouble again?"

Shen Hanyin shook her head, "You had a fight with Ling Tianyou? Why does he look so stern?"

"No idea!" Not mentioning it was fine, but bringing it up wiped the smile off Gu Ningyue’s face: "Who knows what madness he’s on this morning, he’s been like this since breakfast. He insisted I wear a jacket, I said I didn’t need it, and he got like this."

Shen Hanyin turned to glance at Ling Tianyou not far away, whispering to Gu Ningyue: "Just this?"

Ling Tianyou, who has been unshakable for years, how could he be angry over such a small matter?

Gu Ningyue shook her head, "I don’t know, no matter how I ask, he won’t say. Who knows what’s up with him, so petty!"

Shen Hanyin was silent for a while, "Ling Tianyou came to watch the performance with you, did you show any appreciation? Like praising him? Or giving some other reward?"

Gu Ningyue was stunned, "He’s not a dog, spin around and get a treat, does this need a reward?"

Shen Hanyin took a deep breath, looking exasperated: "Ling Tianyou’s company is so busy, he postponed his work to come early to watch the performance with you. You not only rejected his goodwill but are still like this. If it were me, I’d be upset too and wouldn’t want to talk to you!"

Gu Ningyue wanted to retort, but she did hear Ling Tianyou say he let someone else chair the meeting this morning.

In that light, it really seemed she took things too much for granted!

"Han Yin, come quickly, someone wants a photo with you!"

A colleague called out from behind to Shen Hanyin, who responded: "Coming, coming!"

Seeing this, Gu Ningyue quickly said: "Don’t leave, Han Yin. What do I do? With Ling Tianyou like this, I..."

"Easy! Act cute, be a little sweet and it’ll pass!" Shen Hanyin let go of Gu Ningyue’s hand: "I’m heading back now!"

Before Gu Ningyue could say anything, Shen Hanyin had already returned to the stage with those words.

Gu Ningyue stood under the stage, watching Shen Hanyin smile while taking photos with the audience, utterly exasperated!

She could kill, but acting cute was something she totally couldn’t handle!!!

Returning blankly to Ling Tianyou’s side, Gu Ningyue looked up at his stern face, quickly lowering her head.

Way too scary, really way too scary.

Trying to act cute in front of such a face, it’s no different from flirting with King Yan.

The worst part is, she simply couldn’t manage it.

Ling Tianyou didn’t know what she was thinking, but seeing her deflate like a wilted eggplant, he couldn’t help asking: "What’s wrong? Something happen?"

Gu Ningyue despondently shook her head, "Nothing, let’s head home!"

Seeing she didn’t want to talk, Ling Tianyou didn’t press further.

They got in the car; after Gu Ningyue fastened her seatbelt, she suddenly put on headphones.

Ling Tianyou glanced at her, "Listening to music?"

Gu Ningyue instinctively shielded the screen, "Yeah!"

Ling Tianyou chuckled lightly, again with those little antics.

Forget it, let her be!

Anyway, she wouldn’t figure it out, whatever she did had nothing to do with him, just other people’s business.

Gu Ningyue cautiously searched for videos on acting cute, foolishly wishing she could master the ’art’ instantly.

Bite lips? Change tone? The more Gu Ningyue watched, the more her brow furrowed.

This felt like forcing Zhang Fei to embroider, damn, it was too much!

By the time they reached the villa door, Gu Ningyue’s expression was as heavy as if she had just lost her mother.

Getting out of the car, Ling Tianyou opened his mouth seeing her like this but didn’t ask, turning to walk into the villa.

Gu Ningyue followed, looking at Ling Tianyou’s tall, elegant back, she gnashed her teeth and ran to grab his sleeve.

Ling Tianyou paused, looking down at her hand on his sleeve: "What’s up?"

Then, he felt his arm being shaken with immense force, followed by a voice so sweet it was almost drowning him: "Why are you ignoring me? I feel a bit sad, you know!"

"Pfft—" The butler came out holding a cup of water, nearly choking to death, and looked at Gu Ningyue like she was a devil.

Was he really getting old? Why was he starting to have auditory hallucinations?

Ling Tianyou’s expression twisted slightly, "Talk properly! And let go of my hand, my arm hurts!"

He really didn’t know where she got the strength, almost dislocating his shoulder with one hand!

"Okay!" Gu Ningyue reluctantly let go, ignoring the butler’s astonished gaze, slowly saying: "Don’t be mad, okay? How about a hug?"

Saying that, she opened her arms to pounce on Ling Tianyou.

Ling Tianyou reached out a hand to stop her head, keeping space between them, his voice seemed to be suppressing something: "I’ll say it again, talk to me properly!"

Gu Ningyue looked at him pitifully, "How am I not talking properly! I am talking properly! But you, you won’t even let me hug you! Hmph!"

What’s wrong with Ling Tianyou? In the videos, the boyfriends would have already pulled the girlfriend into their arms and started patting their heads in forgiveness!

Why was he looking grimmer?

"Alright!" Ling Tianyou took a deep breath, for the first time feeling the urge to twist Gu Ningyue’s head: "As long as you talk properly, I’ll agree to whatever you want!"

Gu Ningyue froze. Was she not doing it right?

With that in mind, she cleared her throat, looked at Ling Tianyou, shaking her head: "I don’t want anything to do, really!"

Ling Tianyou stood there, looking at her, "Are you sure?"

With her carryings-on earlier, he nearly thought the world was ending.

Gu Ningyue affirmed: "Of course!"

Was her acting cute really that bad? Gu Ningyue felt she was doing quite well!

It looked just like the online videos, she was even prettier than those internet celebrities, so why didn’t it work?

Could it be, was it Ling Tianyou’s problem?

Thinking this, Gu Ningyue followed Ling Tianyou into the villa.

The butler stood behind, muttering: "Crazy, truly crazy..."
