CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 122: TRULY ENRAGED

Shen Hanyin stayed outside with Gu Ningyue until ten o’clock before driving her home.

As she got out of the car, Gu Ningyue still felt uneasy: "Why don’t you stay at my place tonight?"

A usually rational person suddenly being so shocked, Gu Ningyue thought it might be best not to leave her alone.

After all, when rationality loses its guiding effect, no one knows what might happen.

"No need." Shen Hanyin pulled a bitter smile on her pale and defeated face: "I’m not that fragile. You should go home and rest well, don’t worry about me."

Gu Ningyue was half-convinced and half-sceptical, "Really okay?"

Since seeing that scene, Shen Hanyin seemed like a flower quickly withering due to lack of moisture.

Just looking at her tugged painfully at one’s heart.

"I’m fine." Shen Hanyin grasped the steering wheel, trying hard to make her smile look more radiant: "It’s so late, go inside quickly!"

Seeing her insistence, Gu Ningyue didn’t continue to push, "Alright, let me know when you’re home, and don’t drive too fast on the way."

"Yes, don’t worry!" Shen Hanyin curved her lips slightly and started the car.

Gu Ningyue took a couple of steps when suddenly she heard the car reversing: "Ning Yue?"

Gu Ningyue turned her head, "What’s up?"

Shen Hanyin rolled down the window, "Have a good talk with President Ling, don’t act on impulse, okay?"

Gu Ningyue felt warmth in her heart, "Mm, got it!"

Even at this time, Shen Hanyin was still remembering what she had mentioned previously.

Gu Ningyue suddenly recalled that the original owner had almost hurt Shen Hanyin because she believed what Ye Mingchen and Gu Wanwan had said. It was utterly foolish.

Even though Ye Mingchen had drugged her before, having someone who would protect her, no matter the circumstances, she shouldn’t have behaved like that.

Poor Shen Hanyin never blamed her.

Just because she beat up Gu Heng, she forgave all the original owner’s past harms.

A friend like that, in today’s society, is something you couldn’t even beg for.

As she stepped into the villa, Gu Ningyue was momentarily blinded by the bright crystal lights inside.

"Aunt Zhang? Why are so many lights on today?" Gu Ningyue shielded her eyes, waiting until she had adjusted to the light before putting her hand down.

She remembered that there was usually only one big light on in the middle of the living room.

Why are so many on today? Gu Ningyue was puzzled.

Aunt Zhang looked at the just-returned Gu Ningyue, her expression indecipherable.

She seemed somewhat embarrassed, and perhaps a little afraid.

"Young Madam, this afternoon, President Ling arranged a banquet here. It just ended half an hour ago."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback: "Banquet?"

Why hold a banquet so suddenly? Why hadn’t Ling Tianyou mentioned anything before?

Just as Aunt Zhang was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly emerged from upstairs: "Just invited some friends over for a gathering, so what, you have a problem with that?"

Gu Ningyue simply left, not considering her own words at all.

Right now, he was very angry.

Gu Ningyue looked up, seeing the slender figure in white pajamas leaning against the banister, a face unclear under the dazzling light.

But just like that, one could feel the anger emanating from her.

"I wouldn’t dare." Gu Ningyue turned her head, saying to Aunt Zhang: "I’ll head upstairs first, bring a glass of milk to my room later."

Aunt Zhang quietly replied and hurried away.

From the moment Ling Tianyou unexpectedly returned this afternoon, the temperature in the villa had plummeted frighteningly.

Even a perfectly decent party almost turned into a mourning affair.

Solemn, without a word spoken.

"What’s going on, why did Young Madam and President Ling end up like this?"

In the side room, Aunt Zhang looked at the butler perplexedly and asked.

The butler shook his head, "Who knows, perhaps Young Madam said something wrong out of youthful ignorance that upset President Ling?"

Aunt Zhang peered outside through the door crack, seeing Gu Ningyue giving her clothes to a servant as she headed upstairs: "I don’t think so. Previously, if she said something wrong, President Ling would only be upset for a while. When did it ever happen like this?"

"...Don’t worry about Young Madam for now, let’s just manage ourselves well and avoid getting into trouble too." The butler also glanced outside and commented.

Gu Ningyue brushed past Ling Tianyou, not even glancing at him, heading straight for her room.

"Stop!"

Ling Tianyou’s stern command stopped Gu Ningyue, and she barely managed to restrain her trembling.

She paused, slowly turning her head: "What is it?"

Facing her indifferent stance, a surge of anger almost shot up Ling Tianyou’s head: "Don’t you think you need to explain your behavior today?"

Coming back so late, not saying a single word before heading back?

Does she really place so little importance on him in her heart?

"I don’t plan to." Gu Ningyue turned her head and without saying more, pushed open the door to her room.

That sentence from Gu Ningyue completely provoked Ling Tianyou, and as the door swung open, a strong arm pulled her into an embrace.

Before she could react, the door had already slammed shut.

Gu Ningyue leaned against the door panel, her eyes catching sight of the full moon outside, her heart skipped a beat: "What, what are you doing?"

Ling Tianyou’s gaze was terrifying, was he planning to transform under the full moon?

"Gu Ningyue." Ling Tianyou looked into her eyes: "Why are you always so disobedient? Hmm?"

Gu Ningyue was dazed, feeling unsteady: "I-I didn’t! Don’t make things up!"

Ling Tianyou gave a cold smile: "I’m making things up? Gu Ningyue, I warn you, don’t test my patience! What have you been plotting lately? Hmm?"

Why avoid him even when talking to Mr. Chen?

Despite trying to reason with himself countless times, the thought remained in his mind.

He couldn’t convince himself to remain unaffected, letting Gu Ningyue do whatever she wanted without his knowledge.

Standing there, feeling unsteady, Gu Ningyue knew this moment was inevitable, didn’t she?

It seemed like, without revealing some ’substance,’ Ling Tianyou wasn’t going to let her go today.

With that thought, Gu Ningyue’s eyes shifted, looking at Ling Tianyou: "Why don’t you let us sit down and talk slowly, okay?"

Ling Tianyou studied her expression, slowly released her: "You’d better be truthful, don’t play tricks!"

Gu Ningyue nodded slightly, "Don’t be so stern, you’re scaring me!"

Ling Tianyou glanced at her, "You scared? On the phone this morning, you didn’t seem scared at all."

Gu Ningyue touched her nose, "Really, you’re scaring me like this now!"

For such a long time, Ling Tianyou seemed to be using this tone and expression to speak to her for the first time.

It had never happened before, no wonder, Ling Tianyou was truly mad this time.
