Chapter 448: Chapter 448: The Beginning Between Us_1
It took Jian Yufei a long time to finish urinating.
She wasn’t in any danger from her miscarriage, but her body had weakened significantly.
She clenched her hand, finding little strength in it.
She suspected that it would take some time to recuperate fully.
“I’m coming in,” Ruan Tianling said as he pushed open the door and entered the room.
Jian Yufei had already adjusted her attire, but she still looked displeased. If she hadn’t finished, his abrupt entry would have been very rude.
But Ruan Tianling didn’t care about rudeness. He stepped forward to hold her again and carried her back to the hospital room, placing her on the bed.
Jian Yufei looked up to see a hint of a blue stubble on his chin.
She knew that he had stayed by her side all night without leaving and hadn’t rested much.
She couldn’t understand why he stayed here.
He could have hired a maid to take care of her; there wasn’t a need for him to do it all himself. Was he doing this because he liked her or because he felt guilty?
She would never believe it if someone said that he had fallen for her. But maybe he did feel a little guilty.
“You can leave, just have someone look after me.” Jian Yufei said casually as she laid down.
Ruan Tianling covered her with a blanket, then commented, “The doctor said you can be discharged tomorrow. You need to stay in the hospital for one more day today.”
“I told you to leave. You’re not needed here.”
“I’ll be with you until you’re discharged. After that, a maid can take care of you.”
“Which ‘home’ are you talking about?” Jian Yufei snapped, glaring at him. “After I’m discharged, I’ll go back to my own home, not yours. Ruan Tianling, it’s over between us!”
He had kept her at his place, not allowing her to leave because of the child in her womb.
Now that the child was gone, he had no reason to chain her down, right?
Jian Yufei had always wanted to be free, to get rid of him completely. But she had never imagined that she would have to pay such a price – a miscarriage.
She cared a lot about the child she had lost. Thinking about it made her heartache; even the upcoming freedom couldn’t bring her any joy.
Ruan Tianling sat down by the bed, his dark eyes fixed on her. He flashed a smirk, “You’re wrong, this is just the beginning between us, not the end.”
Jian Yufei’s eyes widened in nervousness, “What do you mean by that?”
Ruan Tianling pulled out a ring, held her hand, and whispered, “Even without the child, I still want to marry you. Yufei, you can’t escape me in this lifetime.”
Unless I grow tired of you, don’t even think about running away.
Jian Yufei turned pale, “Ruan Tianling, what do you mean! There’s nothing in my womb now, I’m not carrying your child. Why won’t you let me go?”
“Maybe before I was holding onto you because of the child. Now…” Ruan Tianling’s charming smile turned mysterious, “I just can’t bear to part with you, that’s why I can’t let you go.”
“Can’t bear to part with me?! Don’t make me laugh. Are you saying you’ve fallen in love with me?” Jian Yufei asked derisively.
She remembered clearly that he had said he would never fall for her.
How could a man like him know love? Even if he did, she’d disdain it.
Also, his ‘love’ had no security. Didn’t his wavering affection for Yan Yue prove just that?
“If I say that I’m in love with you, would you agree to marry me?” Ruan Tianling asked her.
