CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 196: PROVING USEFUL

Lin Ruixian’s blessing sounds more like setting up a Flag than a blessing!

As everyone knows, Flags shouldn’t be casually set!

If this matter really gets exposed, even she will find it difficult to withstand Ling Tianyou’s wrath.

After all, she no longer has the organization and master to back her up.

Thinking back, she once smashed up the office of the mayor of City L without a hint of panic.

Now, recalling that, she realizes she was a bit too arrogant back then.

Gu Ningyue drank the two dozen bottles of alcohol that Lin Ruixian wanted, and was already too drunk to stand.

Lin Ruixian, however, was sober, standing steadily, with such amazing alcohol tolerance: "Weiwei, your phone is ringing."

Weiwei? Since when did this name start feeling distant and unfamiliar?

Even she forgot that her original name was Gu Weiwei.

"Phone?" Gu Ningyue reached for her phone from the bag, the light making it hard for her to see the name: "Who is this?"

Lin Ruixian glanced at the three characters ’Ling Tianyou’ and then looked at the drunken mess that was Gu Ningyue.

For a brief moment, he wanted to help her press the answer button.

"It’s your fiancé, should I answer it?" Lin Ruixian’s voice drifted by.

Gu Ningyue nodded somewhat unknowingly: "Oh, right, I have a fiancé..."

Seeing her silly smile, Lin Ruixian sighed: "Fine, let me take you back first!"

Took a cab back to the hotel, Gu Ningyue probably was very drunk, already asleep in the car.

When getting out, Lin Ruixian carried her horizontally out of the taxi.

In the night, people came and went, some eyes fell on them.

"Is that really the Gu Family’s eldest daughter? She actually appeared here?"

"The boss’s intel surely can’t be wrong, did you take the picture?"

"Yes, yes, got it, but her face is buried on that man’s chest, can’t see her face."

"No worries, just capture the hotel and that man’s face."

"Took it, several shots! But why did the boss suddenly take interest in the Gu Family’s eldest daughter?"

"Don’t you know? It’s said Gu Ningyue once taught our boss a lesson, boss hasn’t forgotten! Hence..."

"Ha? Boss is so skilled, could be taught by a little girl like her?"

"This matter, well, there’s a long story to that..."

In the hotel, Lin Ruixian took off Gu Ningyue’s shoes and laid her flat on the bed.

After boiling water, Lin Ruixian poured a cup and placed it by the bedside.

The woman on the bed seemed to be in pain, frowning, her whole face slightly pale.

"Master..."

Lin Ruixian heard her call and suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

When did she call his name when drunk?

But it’s for the best, she didn’t call Ling Tianyou’s name...

The phone in the bag still rang, Lin Ruixian glanced at it and pressed mute.

After the call was hung up, he turned off the phone.

Sitting by the bed for a while, Lin Ruixian then turned to leave.

At the moment he closed the door, a painful moan escaped from the person on the bed: "Master... don’t go."

Lin Ruixian restrained himself and still turned to leave.

There are some things he simply cannot do.

She is now Gu Ningyue, not Gu Weiwei.

He should no longer remain by her side.

At dawn the next day, the bright sunlight shone on the bed, and the hungover woman finally slowly opened her eyes.

"Where is this..."

She rubbed her forehead, her throat tightening, how could things be like this?

In the blur, she recalled last night’s scenes, the chaotic lights and noisy crowd. Did she really drink twelve bottles?

Gu Ningyue glanced around the empty room, probably Lin Ruixian sent her back!

After all, she was so drunk, couldn’t even stand.

But Lin Ruixian was still as before, a gentleman knowing what to do or not, seemed like he didn’t even stay a moment.

This trait is hard to find in today’s society.

But thinking from another angle, could it be that he really has no interest in women?

After all these years, she never saw Lin Ruixian have any intimate contact with any woman.

Took the water from the table and drank a sip, reducing the lingering taste of alcohol.

"What time is it?" Gu Ningyue took out her phone: "... No power?"

Pressed the power button, Gu Ningyue saw there was 80% battery, feeling a bit puzzled.

Did she drunkenly turn off her phone?

Gu Ningyue saw the two missed calls from Ling Tianyou, and suddenly tightened inside.

He called twice and she didn’t pick up, now Ling Tianyou must be really angry!

Besides Man Qianshan sending question marks on WeChat, no other messages.

Seems like Ling Tianyou really is upset.

Since that’s the case, she might as well go all out and ’admit guilt and submit to punishment’ back home.

Now it’s better not to care for now, considering Ling Tianyou’s character, he won’t go to her house.

Got up to stretch, Gu Ningyue took a hot shower, changed out of her alcohol-smelling clothes, and knocked on Lin Ruixian’s door: "Lin Ruixian, are you up?"

After half a minute, the hotel door opened, a disheveled-haired Lin Ruixian appeared before Gu Ningyue: "What time is it! You’re up way too early."

Gu Ningyue waved her wrist: "Brother, it’s already ten, is this early?"

Lin Ruixian yawned and let her into his room, "I normally sleep till noon, not to mention after yesterday’s long flight, and a full day in Y City, exhausted!"

Perhaps because the bar’s drinks yesterday were indeed good, neither of them had a headache the next morning.

Gu Ningyue looked at Lin Ruixian’s rosy complexion, suddenly admiring his skin, how can a man’s skin be better than a woman’s?

Most importantly, this person is also a bit excessively perfect, how can he look so good even just waking up?

"How about you sleep a bit more?" Gu Ningyue said to Lin Ruixian: "I’ll go gather some info first?"

Lin Ruixian sat on the bed waking up, finally reluctantly saying: "No, I’ll go freshen up, you sit for a while!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, sitting on the chair by the window.

On the table, Lin Ruixian’s phone was placed.

After a while, the sound of showering water came from the bathroom.

Gu Ningyue idly took out her phone, today, Chi Xingtong was about to leave.

Sent two messages to Chi Xingtong, Gu Ningyue remembered Hua Ningcan. That PR manager at Ling Tianyou’s company.

The two previously added on WeChat, now, finally useful.

"How is your President Ling’s mood today?"
