CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 89: DARE NOT

At the amusement park, Chi Xingtong played until four in the afternoon and then drove Gu Ningyue and Ji Qianqian home.

On the way, Gu Ningyue sat in the passenger seat and asked, "Speaking of which, how are your preparations for that matter? Have you visited Ji Zhiye’s clinic?"

Chi Xingtong said, "To be honest, I was supposed to go this afternoon, but then you suddenly called me, so it’ll have to be tomorrow~!"

Gu Ningyue nodded, "Thank you for your effort. Once this matter is over, I’ll treat you to a big meal."

Chi Xingtong replied, "Actually, it’s nothing. I owe you anyway. If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t be in this situation."

Every time she saw Gu Ningyue’s hand, she felt guilty all over again. The more Gu Ningyue kept silent, the more awkward Chi Xingtong felt.

Just as well there’s this chance to repay Gu Ningyue a favor!

Gu Ningyue didn’t say anything. When they arrived at the villa gate, Chi Xingtong drove off without stopping.

Gu Ningyue watched Chi Xingtong’s car drive away while holding Ji Qianqian’s hand, then turned and entered the villa.

She had never thought Chi Xingtong was very bad, nor did she feel any animosity towards her.

The current status, although still a bit distant from true friendship, was much better than the previous confrontational stance towards her.

Gu Ningyue always adhered to the simple principle: one can be not friends, but definitely not enemies.

Of course, if they truly became enemies, she was not afraid.

"Young Madam, you’re back." Aunt Zhang looked at her and said, "The weather is hot today, so I made sour plum soup. Let me pour two cups for Young Madam and Miss Ji!"

Gu Ningyue nodded and pulled Ji Qianqian to sit on the sofa.

Aunt Zhang poured two cups of sour plum soup and handed them over. Gu Ningyue took a big gulp, "Ah~! So refreshing! This is summer!"

At four fifty, Ling Tianyou walked into the villa with a woman.

The woman was wearing a wine-red mermaid dress, her bosom prominently raised, slender waist, walking gracefully like a blooming Rhododendron.

Is this Lu Qingqing from the original owner’s memory? She is simply captivating.

Who can resist? With such a caliber of goddess combined with such influential family background, who gave Gu Heng the luck to think he could match Lu Qingqing?

So ordinary yet confident!

Lu Qingqing slowly came in front of Gu Ningyue, extended her hand as Gu Ningyue stood up from the sofa, "Hello, Lu Qingqing."

She was wearing a somewhat wrinkled T-shirt, her face though fair and delicate, the outfit was rather unkempt.

"Hello, Gu Ningyue." Gu Ningyue extended her hand and politely shook it for a moment.

Her eyes were bright, with an indescribable determination, which surprised Lu Qingqing; she was completely different from the girl she met before.

The previous Gu Ningyue couldn’t even dare to look directly into others’ eyes.

"Sister, you’ve finally come! Wuwu..." Ji Qianqian saw Lu Qingqing and directly threw herself into her arms, "Sister hug, wuwu..."

Lu Qingqing wrapped her arm around Ji Qianqian’s waist and gently comforted her, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, sister will take Qianqian home. Was Qianqian good these few days?"

Ji Qianqian whimpered and lifted her head, "Qianqian has been super good! Sister, why did it take you so long to come!"

Lu Qingqing reached out and touched her head, "Sister had things to do! Look, sister even got hurt to come find Qianqian."

She revealed scars on her body, and Gu Ningyue glanced at them, slightly frowning.

The wounds on Lu Qingqing’s fair body were indeed somewhat frightening.

Ji Qianqian’s eyes became even redder, "Do the wounds hurt sister, let Qianqian blow them~!"

Lu Qingqing’s tone was exceptionally gentle, and her eyes were filled with affection, "Sister doesn’t hurt, let’s go home, okay?"

Ji Qianqian nodded, "Okay~!"

Lu Qingqing turned her head, looking at Gu Ningyue and Ling Tianyou and said, "Thank you for taking care of Qianqian during this time. This is the diamond bracelet that Miss Gu wanted, please accept it!"

She took out a shining diamond bracelet from her bag and handed it to Gu Ningyue, who accepted it with both hands. Looking at the bracelet identical to the one in her memory, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, "Thank you!"

Lu Qingqing didn’t say anything, just looked at Gu Ningyue with more curiosity.

Previously, she was either afraid or doing some strange behavior when seeing her, how could she be so composed now?

She glanced at Ling Tianyou, could it really be because Ling Tianyou was backing her?

If that’s the case, then this confidence was indeed somewhat unfounded.

"I’ll take Qianqian back now." Lu Qingqing said to Ling Tianyou, "Let’s gather again when there’s time, and I’ll take President Ling and Miss Gu to dinner!"

Gu Ningyue reached to touch Ling Tianyou’s fingers, who acknowledged, and she spoke about Shangguan Wuyue.

Lu Qingqing was slightly startled, "Okay, thank you, President Ling, for the kindness."

Ling Tianyou responded indifferently, "Uncle You, see Miss Lu out."

Uncle You agreed, stepped forward respectfully gesturing to Lu Qingqing, "Miss Lu, this way please."

Lu Qingqing held Ji Qianqian’s hand and nodded slightly, stepping towards the door.

Ji Qianqian kept looking back at Gu Ningyue, with eyes showing a bit of reluctance.

On the way to the door, Lu Qingqing finally couldn’t help but ask, "Qianqian, what’s wrong? What are you looking at?"

Ji Qianqian’s eyes were watery, "Sister, can I see Sister Ning Yue again?"

Lu Qingqing was slightly taken aback, "Do you want to see her again?"

Ji Qianqian nodded hard, "Sister Ning Yue treats Qianqian very well, Qianqian wants to play with Sister Ning Yue."

Lu Qingqing’s eyes flashed with surprise, she didn’t expect that in just half a month, Gu Ningyue had won over Qianqian?

Though Qianqian’s intellect might not match that of adults, she was always cautious with strangers, difficult to approach.

Even the nanny she chose was carefully selected, and it took several replacements before Ji Qianqian reluctantly accepted them.

What means did Gu Ningyue use to make Qianqian so attached?

Sitting in the car, helping Ji Qianqian fasten her seatbelt, Lu Qingqing looked at Ji Qianqian and asked, "What did your Sister Ning Yue do with you during this time?"

Ji Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "Sister Ning Yue took me shopping, bought me new clothes, took me to the amusement park, bought me delicious food!"

"Oh, I see." Lu Qingqing started the car, casually asking, "Did she ever scold you?"

Ji Qianqian shook her head, "No, Sister Ning Yue is very good to Qianqian!"

Lu Qingqing remained silent for a while: "Then it seems Qianqian must have been really good."

Ji Qianqian responded, bowing her head and twisting her fingers, "Qianqian is so good, sister, please don’t leave Qianqian, okay? Qianqian doesn’t want to live alone in the big house, Qianqian is scared..."

"Okay." Lu Qingqing said, "From now on, Qianqian lives with sister."

Having experienced such events, she dared not let Ji Qianqian live alone in Y city anymore!
