CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 149: FIREWORKS FESTIVAL

Ling Tianyou was momentarily unsure how to respond to Gu Ningyue’s question.

Indeed, even if Gu Ningyue was with the Gu Family, she could never escape his grasp.

If he wanted to see Gu Ningyue, he could track her whereabouts anytime.

However, inexplicably, after Gu Ningyue left, he felt a void in his heart.

He wanted to be with Gu Ningyue, hoping she would willingly stay by his side.

With other women, perhaps he wouldn’t have this patience.

But Gu Ningyue was indeed a surprise.

A possibility he himself hadn’t anticipated would exist.

However, it seems precisely because of this that Gu Ningyue has grown somewhat spoiled.

This is probably something even she hasn’t realized!

After some time, as they approached the next corner, Ling Tianyou turned to Gu Ningyue and said, "Then I’ll pick you up once you’ve finished your business."

Gu Ningyue was a bit surprised; she thought she would have to argue more, but it turned out to be so easy.

Since when did Ling Tianyou become so considerate?

Oh well, as long as he agreed, it’s good; she didn’t want to cause herself more trouble.

"Alright." Gu Ningyue curved her lips into a smile, "I’ll make you a big meal when I return!"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "By the way, have you been okay at home lately?"

Gu Heng suddenly got hospitalized, and some people were bound to speculate Gu Ningyue orchestrated it.

But it seemed Gu Ningyue handled it well.

Not only did she report to the police, but she also quietly exposed Gu Heng’s previous deeds, providing lots of evidence to the police.

This time, Gu Heng probably couldn’t escape, unable to avoid legal punishment!

"It’s been alright!" Gu Ningyue smiled and said, "How about you? What have you been busy with lately?"

Ling Tianyou pursed his lips upon hearing the question, "Nothing much, just it’s a critical time for the project with Mr. Chen, and I have to handle some company matters, so I’ve been at the company recently."

Gu Ningyue nodded, "I see! Yesterday, Lu Qingqing sent me a WeChat message, saying she and Ji Qianqian have settled in City A; they seem to have found news on Shangguan Wuyue. They want to invite us for dinner. Can you check your schedule?"

It’s actually not surprising Lu Qingqing and Ji Qianqian are living in City A, considering Ji Qianqian’s state; even with two more babysitters, they wouldn’t be at ease.

Ling Tianyou thought for a moment and said, "Let’s wait a bit!"

Gu Ningyue saw his hesitation and didn’t say more, only remarked, "Alright. By the way, what happened to those people who kidnapped Ji Qianqian last time? Why no updates?"

If the people behind that organization were still around, others might get harmed.

Even though they were mentally incomplete, helpless people, it made them even more pitiable.

Ling Tianyou didn’t expect her to remember this and said while driving, "Those people won’t appear in City A anymore. Lu Qingqing somehow took down their backer Jin Chenglong. He’s been relieved from his post and investigated."

Gu Ningyue was surprised; she didn’t expect Lu Qingqing to be so impressive.

No wonder Gu Heng was always scheming for the impossible, aiming for someone like Lu Qingqing meant aiming high.

"But there seems to be something fishy behind this." Ling Tianyou suddenly added, "Even though Jin Chenglong lost his influence, his earlier subordinates don’t seem to have completely dispersed. A small group still shows up near their homes. Not sure if they’re protecting something or planning something."

Gu Ningyue pondered and asked, "Could it be because they have too many enemies and fear revenge?"

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "I don’t know, but as long as they’re not doing those immoral deals anymore, it doesn’t concern us."

In fact, even this matter didn’t concern them. However, because Gu Ningyue insisted, he decided to check into it.

They arrived at the hospital, removed the cast, and conducted another examination on Gu Ningyue. Only then did the doctor let them go.

After having the cast for so long, Gu Ningyue’s arm couldn’t fully stretch.

She needed to wait another week or so, doing more exercises to recover smoothly.

But compared to before, Gu Ningyue felt much more relaxed.

"Are you going back to the company?" Gu Ningyue fastened her seatbelt and asked, "Or are you going to handle something else?"

If Ling Tianyou was returning, she would go see Lin Ruixian.

Just as she was planning this, Ling Tianyou said, "No, I’m free this afternoon."

Gu Ningyue understood, recalling how cold she’d been to Ling Tianyou the past few days and looking at him, "Then, how about we go to the amusement park? I haven’t been since I took Qianqian there last time."

Besides, her arm was wrapped in bandages then, and she encountered Su Heng, so she couldn’t have fun properly.

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Alright."

At the amusement park, it was likely the travel season, so many people were there, even more than last time.

Gu Ningyue was sweating from the heat, and Ling Tianyou pulled her into the shade, "Wait here for a bit; I’ll go buy water."

Gu Ningyue looked at the long queue and frowned, "Why don’t I queue up? Soon there might be even more people."

Ling Tianyou shook his head, "No need, just wait here."

Gu Ningyue didn’t know what Ling Tianyou was thinking, but seeing him walk away without giving her a chance to ask, she remained silent.

Soon, the queue indeed grew longer.

Among them, a few men wearing white shirts looked somewhat familiar.

Before long, Ling Tianyou came back with two bottles of water and an ice cream.

"Here, wait here for now!" Ling Tianyou handed the ice cream to Gu Ningyue, "I’ve got someone queuing for us, so we can just enjoy whichever attraction first."

Gu Ningyue took a bite of the ice cream, looking at the people in line, "Are those people yours?"

Ling Tianyou glanced over and nodded, "Yes. They’re not busy and free currently."

Gu Ningyue smiled with her lips pursed, using professional tough guys as queue fillers.

Eating her ice cream, Gu Ningyue sat on the long bench behind her, "Why are there so many people today! Queuing one by one would take until midnight, and we wouldn’t be able to enjoy many rides."

Ling Tianyou laughed and said, "There’s a fireworks event tonight, so many people came today. I thought you would’ve known since you wanted to come, but you didn’t?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head confusedly, "Actually, I didn’t know. What is the fireworks event?"

Ling Tianyou replied, "The amusement park is celebrating its tenth anniversary today, held every ten years. It’s no wonder you didn’t know, as it’s the first time this year!"

Gu Ningyue curved her lips into a smile, "Well, I’m pretty lucky then."
