CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 205: MY TREAT

Ling Tianyou’s question wasn’t unexpected, but when she heard him ask it, Gu Ningyue still felt a bit flustered.

"Having tea outside."

After a moment, Gu Ningyue finally said this.

"Oh." Ling Tianyou didn’t seem suspicious, responding mildly, "So, when do you plan to come back?"

Gu Ningyue said, "My mom’s house isn’t fully renovated yet, in a few days! It’s almost done."

"Has Chen Rui gotten in touch with you? She asked me for your contact information." Ling Tianyou suddenly asked out of nowhere, his voice sounded a bit odd, "If Chen Rui has done anything to hurt you, don’t take it to heart, she means no harm."

Gu Ningyue found it a bit strange, "No."

Why would she contact me? If it was to show off, that would be too childish.

This doesn’t seem like something Chen Rui would do.

Ling Tianyou explained what happened after the dinner gathering, and Gu Ningyue frowned slightly, "Okay, I got it. I’ll accept her when she adds me."

So, he didn’t want to hang up because of Chen Rui? Afraid that if I rejected her request, it would hurt the beauty’s feelings?

Thinking about this, Gu Ningyue felt inexplicably irritated and hung up the phone before Ling Tianyou could speak again.

After casually eating something she bought earlier, Gu Ningyue sat on the bed with a displeased face.

Before Chen Rui appeared, Ling Tianyou was clearly good to her, and even after Chi Xingtong appeared, nothing really changed.

He even moved his work to the hospital when she was hospitalized with a fracture.

But now, with Chen Rui back, it seems everything has changed.

Ling Tianyou’s concern for Chen Rui was a bit beyond her imagination.

By the way, previously Lin Ruixian had also mentioned that Ling Tianyou had done a lot for Chen Rui.

She never had the time to check it out, but now she opened her phone and entered Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui’s names, and soon many news articles appeared before her eyes.

Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui participated in a ballroom dancing competition as students and won second place.

Ling Tianyou shielded Chen Rui from a speeding car and ended up in the hospital for a month.

Ling Tianyou even started a project specifically for the Chen Family?

She touched her chest, why was her heart beating so fast?

No wonder Chen Rui didn’t show the same hostility as Chi Xingtong when seeing her, so obvious.

Turns out, Chen Rui has her strengths.

Is this what they call Ling Tianyou’s white moonlight?

Scumbag, he’s only happy to hear I’m not going back! He can hang out with Chen Rui every day!

In that case, it would be better to call off the engagement sooner rather than later.

No, wait, Ling Tianyou and I didn’t even have an engagement banquet, what kind of engagement is it?

Moreover, Ling Tianyou’s family never really approved of me in the first place.

Probably, it’s because they’ve seen someone like Chen Rui that they’re like this!

Gu Ningyue munched on chips while her mind wandered in chaos.

Wait, since when did I become so emotional?

Whether he likes me or not doesn’t matter, as long as I’m Young Madam Ling, it’s fine.

After all, it seems like I still need to cling tightly to this thigh.

Though she wasn’t sure how many more days she could hold on, she’ll take it one day at a time.

After all, she’s not at a loss.

Apart from the house Ling Tianyou bought for her, she also has a 200-square-meter standalone home waiting for her to renovate.

If worse comes to worse, she still has a card with a monthly limit of ten million.

Right, this month has just begun!

"Knock knock knock—"

Lin Ruixian opened the door, looking confused at the woman outside the door, and asked, "What’s up?"

Gu Ningyue was already dressed and holding a bag, looking at him, "Come on, I’ll treat you today, let’s go shopping!"

Lin Ruixian looked her up and down, "You’re sure you’re treating?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Yes, I’m sure, hurry up and change, I’ll wait for you!"

Lin Ruixian found it strange, what side of the bed did the sun rise from today? The notoriously stingy Gu Weiwei is actually offering to treat him?

Half an hour later, a pair of good-looking men and women stood in front of the largest mall in Y City.

"The things here aren’t normally cheap, you know I won’t hold back." Lin Ruixian adjusted his glasses: "So I’ll ask you one last time, are you sure? Buy whatever?"

Gu Ningyue responded firmly, "Of course, buy whatever, today Miss Gu will foot the bill for everything!"

There’s no trouble that spending money can’t solve, if there is, it’s just that you haven’t spent enough.

Lin Ruixian gave Gu Ningyue a doubtful look, then pursed his lips and went in with her.

A few hours later, the two of them had their hands full of bags.

"Ah, so tired, let’s find a place to sit and rest for a while!"

Not having gone shopping for a long time, Gu Ningyue almost felt like her legs weren’t her own.

Lin Ruixian looked at a Western restaurant not far away, "There?"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Sure!"

After so much shopping, Lin Ruixian finally couldn’t hold back, "What got into you? Planning to go wild one last time?"

This didn’t seem like the behavior of a notorious penny-pincher, there must be some reason behind it.

Gu Ningyue grinned, "Don’t worry, even if you die, I won’t die."

Lin Ruixian asked, "Then why?"

Gu Ningyue looked at the restaurant’s sign, it was clear that it was quite expensive here!

"Nothing." Gu Ningyue said leisurely, "Just figured if I don’t spend it now, I won’t get to spend it later."

Once Ling Tianyou and Chen Rui were together, she’d naturally have to return this card.

Thinking back over the past few months together, besides buying the house, she hadn’t really spent much on herself!

So this time, let it be the ’last hurrah’!

"Isn’t that going wild one last time?" Lin Ruixian clearly didn’t understand.

Gu Ningyue glared at him, "Hey, I’m treating you, why are you complaining so much? If you feel bad, return the stuff and I’ll eat alone!"

With that, Gu Ningyue stepped into the restaurant.

Lin Ruixian followed closely, looking at her back and said leisurely, "You’re really especially testy today."

Gu Ningyue ignored him, placing the bags aside, taking the menu from the waiter’s hand, and began to order, "Bring your most expensive wine here, two bottles!"

The waiter, who looked very young, was momentarily stunned before saying, "Miss, our most expensive wine is a hundred and fifty-eight thousand a bottle, are you sure?"

Gu Ningyue waved her hand grandly, "I’m sure."

Why was everyone asking her if she’s sure today, did she really look that poor?

After ordering, Gu Ningyue handed the card to the waiter, "Swipe it, no password."

The waiter glanced at the writing on it, a flash of shock in his eyes.

Such a card, there aren’t many like it nationwide!

It seems he underestimated this young lady.

"Hello, the total is three hundred and fifty-seven thousand, do you need anything else?"

Gu Ningyue shook her head, the waiter, smiling, turned away with the tray.
