Chapter 14: Some Things Women Use_1
Translator: 549690339
He thought about their marriage, more than a year already, and how she had always been silent at home, living like women in ancient times, never coming out of the house, and never meddling in his affairs. She was even more obedient and subservient than the women of old.
Perhaps this dull lifestyle bored her, resulting in her rebellious attitude recently.
Thinking this, Ruan Tianling felt he had to help her out.
Otherwise, if his wife caused a scandal because of her rebellion, he would be the one to suffer.
He put his hand on her shoulder, tilted his body slightly, leaned his face closer to hers, and said with a grin, “I am attending a banquet tomorrow evening, come with me.”
Jian Yufei’s eyes flickered slightly.
“What kind of banquet?” She asked him.
Ruan Tianling, seeing her reaction, assumed he was right. He thought she was getting bored and wanted to go out.
Jian Yufei didn’t know his thoughts, but he was correct, except that it applied to Jian Yufei before she was reborn.
If she hadn’t been reborn, she would be ecstatic at his proposal, not just because it meant she could get out of the house, but also because of his initiative to invite her.
But she wasn’t the old Jian Yufei anymore.
The reason she was moved was that she knew what was supposed to happen at tomorrow’s banquet.
Ruan Tianling laughed, “It’s the birthday banquet of the Luo Corporation CEO’s daughter.”
Such a birthday banquet was not simply a celebration, but also a social event.
All the prominent individuals in A City received invitations. Everyone would attend, intending to pursue their own interests. Jian Yufei blinked, nodding, “Alright, I’ll accompany you.”
She didn’t hesitate, nor did she show any excitement.
Ruan Tianling gazed at her, a hint of confusion flashing in his deep eyes.
By rights, she should have been excited, yet her reaction was too ordinary, too indifferent.
He realized he truly couldn’t understand this woman.
In the past, she was as simple as a blank sheet of paper, her emotions worn on her sleeve, her thoughts transparent with just a glance.
Now, she seemed veiled, ethereal, hazy and dream-like, making it hard for him to discern her true self.
Despite his many years in business, this was the first person he couldn’t understand.
And it had to be a woman.
“What did you buy when you went out just now?” he asked casually, intending to engage her in conversation, hoping to understand her better.
Jian Yufei responded indifferently, “Nothing much, just some women’s things.” Indeed she had bought a bag of sanitary napkins, using them as a decoy.
Ruan Tianling, who had clearly seen what she was carrying, smiled again and asked, “What are your plans for grandfather’s birthday next month?” Jian Yufei had already thought about this.
However, she found it odd- why was he suddenly interested in discussing these mundane matters?
She turned her head to look at him, meeting his glossy dark eyes.
His eyelashes were long, longer than any woman’s, his eyes were upturned, possessing a fatal charm. Even when he wasn’t smiling, they were enchanting. His eyes were beautiful.
Combined with his chiseled features and graceful figure, he was an irresistible attraction to women.
The old her had been attracted by his beautiful exterior, loving him wholeheartedly, even when she knew he didn’t love her in return and that he had other women. She just couldn’t let him go..
