CHAPTER 39: CHAPTER 39: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?

EDITOR: ENDLESSFANTASY TRANSLATION

At nine thirty in the evening, Gu Ningyue received a call from Ling Tianyou.

Following the address he provided, she drove all the way to the entrance. Gu Ningyue sent Ling Tianyou a message: "I’m here, come out!"

"Come in, I’ve had a bit to drink, I’m waiting for you inside."

Gu Ningyue: "??? Do I not only need to be a driver but a babysitter too?"

"Sorry, Miss," the two men at the door reached out to stop her, "Please show your invitation card."

Gu Ningyue was taken aback, "I’m here to pick someone up."

"Sorry, without an invitation, no one is allowed inside."

Gu Ningyue was just about to dial Ling Tianyou’s number when she suddenly remembered the ’meeting gift’ Ling Tianyou’s mother had given her.

After rummaging through her wallet, Gu Ningyue pulled out a card with her fingertips: "Will this work?"

The two men at the door glanced at it and their expressions instantly changed: "Please, go ahead."

Gu Ningyue strutted into the banquet hall, drawing several gazes as soon as she walked in the door.

"Is that the eldest daughter of the Gu family? Why is she here?"

"Did she change her head? You can’t even tell it’s Gu Ningyue!"

"Tsk tsk, what nerve to show up? Her fiancé is already with someone else."

"It’s not her fault. Why are you so bitter? Jealous her figure is better than yours?"

"Pah, why would I envy a lunatic?..."

Gu Ningyue pretended not to hear and casually grabbed someone to ask, "Hello, have you seen Master Ling?"

The person was momentarily stunned, captivated by that face, and only after a few seconds did he point to the inner hall: "President Ling is resting inside."

"Thank you." Gu Ningyue walked towards the inner room, and the person continued to stare at her departing silhouette.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

In the rest area, Ling Tianyou was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting, surrounded by some young men in suits.

Once they saw Gu Ningyue approaching, the conversation immediately stopped, and all eyes focused on her.

The eldest daughter of the Gu family seemed even more beautiful than when they last saw her at the birthday party.

"Tianyou." Gu Ningyue went up and patted his shoulder, "You’re drunk, let’s go home!"

Ling Tianyou slowly opened his eyes, his drunken eyes slightly reddened at the corners, adding a seductive charm.

At a sudden glance, it seemed as if one could get lost in them.

He staggered to his feet, almost draping his entire body over hers.

Gu Ningyue supported him with effort, whispering, "Stand a little steadier; I’m not that strong."

Ling Tianyou feigned ignorance, his voice light and airy: "Weren’t you quite formidable before? What happened now?"

He was drunk but didn’t forget to taunt her; one couldn’t tell if he was truly drunk or just pretending!

Gu Ningyue sighed, "If you continue like this, we might have to spend the night here."

Ling Tianyou gave a faint smile, finally managing to walk a few steps in a straight line.

"No wonder even someone as abstinent as President Ling couldn’t resist, what a stunner!"

"I thought President Lin’s girlfriend was pretty enough, but seeing her today, tsk tsk~"

"Had I known the eldest daughter of the Gu family was so beautiful, I’d even marry a lunatic..."

Ling Tianyou turned his head, a sharp gaze swept over them, immediately silencing the crowd.

Gu Ningyue, unaware of what happened, looked back in confusion, "What’s the matter with them?"

Ling Tianyou said nothing, he openly kissed her on the cheek in public: "Don’t mind them, let’s go home."

"Xiao Yu, pinch me, I think I’m seeing things."

"Isn’t that the aloof President Ling?"

"Yes! You didn’t see wrong! The iron tree has bloomed!"

Amidst the crowd’s astonishment, Gu Ningyue helped Ling Tianyou back to the car.

She touched her face, why did it feel like she was the one who’d gotten drunk? So hot!

"Help me with the seatbelt." Ling Tianyou tugged at her sleeve, eyes full of intoxication.

Gu Ningyue glanced at him, "Are you really drunk?"

For some reason, she always felt this bastard was deceiving her.

Ling Tianyou nodded, "I drank a bit too much today."

Gu Ningyue leaned over halfway and fastened the seatbelt, just about to return to her seat when an arm suddenly wrapped around her waist: "Mmm..."

The alcohol-laden kiss was wild and reckless, and in no time, Gu Ningyue surrendered, pushing him away hard: "You, you, what are you doing!"

Ling Tianyou licked his lips: "Sober up!"

Having taken advantage, he quietly closed his eyes, leaning nonchalantly in the seat.

Gu Ningyue: "???" So how does this pervert manage to act so naturally?

Gu Ningyue floored the accelerator, returning to the villa in twenty minutes, summoning the butler and servants to help escort Ling Tianyou inside, her hands never lifting a finger the entire time.

Aunt Zhang made sobering soup and took it in, only to bring it back out untouched: "Young Madam, President Ling said he won’t drink unless you come in."

Gu Ningyue tossed her head, "Let him drink or not, I need sleep!"

She realized Ling Tianyou was just taking the opportunity to take advantage of her!

Before long, Aunt Zhang knocked on her door.

"Young Madam, President Ling said you’ll regret it tomorrow if you don’t go over."

Gu Ningyue held back and finally caved to the intimidation.

Though she hadn’t witnessed Ling Tianyou’s cunning firsthand, the rumors were already branded in the original host’s mind.

The wise don’t suffer immediate losses; if he dares act up again, a slap would straighten him out, sparing even the sobering soup.

Resolved, Gu Ningyue took the sobering soup from Aunt Zhang’s hands and went straight to Ling Tianyou’s bedroom.

Seeing her arrive, a gleam flashed in Ling Tianyou’s eyes.

"Drink up!" Gu Ningyue brought the bowl to his lips.

Ling Tianyou looked at her: "Use a spoon, feed me."

Gu Ningyue: "???"

Is this still the aloof male god? It’s fake, definitely fake.

Reluctantly, she took the spoon and fed it to his mouth, all the while Ling Tianyou’s eyes remained fixed on her face.

No longer the usual indifference, they were filled with desire.

Gu Ningyue was unnerved by the gaze, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

"If I stared at someone else, wouldn’t you get jealous?" Ling Tianyou asked.

Gu Ningyue paused her hand, "Why would I be jealous? Your eyes are on you; you can look at whoever you want."

Ling Tianyou felt inexplicably disappointed, "I want you to be jealous."

Gu Ningyue didn’t understand, "Why?"

Ling Tianyou drank the last of the sobering soup, "Because you’re my wife!"

Gu Ningyue placed the bowl on the table, "You’re drunk, President Ling."

Ling Tianyou met her gaze, suddenly pulling her into his arms: "What did you call me? Hmm?"

What’s with this woman, suddenly disowning their relationship after being together for so long?
