Chapter 503: Chapter 503 Yufei, I’m Very Happy_1
Ruan Tianling played the recording, listening intently.
Xiao Lang’s voice kept coming from it, making Tianling’s eyes turn colder with every word. Jian Yufei lowered her eyes slightly, her hands tightened subtly.
Although she didn’t say anything, and didn’t agree to Xiao Lang’s overtures, she indirectly accepted Tianling’s ill-treatment towards her.
She didn’t know if he would become angry, or what he would do to her.
Jian Yufei remembered his warning before they arrived, and found herself shivering uncontrollably.
If he dared to imprison her, she swore she’d rather die, dragging him down into Hell with her!
The recording ended. Ruan Tianling reached out to hold her chin and turned her face towards him.
Jian Yufei’s eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes betraying a hint of fear.
The man was staring deeply at her, his cold, stern features both commanding and cruel.
Jian Yufei’s heart began to race. Was he angry? Was he about to lose his temper?
Was he going to get angry over this?
She didn’t do anything. She didn’t admit to any of her unhappiness or agree with Xiao Lang, nor did she seek help from him or speak too much with him.
She didn’t even accept his goodwill.
If he was going to punish her for that…
As Jian Yufei was thinking about her ways out in desperation, Ruan Tianling suddenly smiled and moved in to softly kiss her lips.
“Yufei, I’m very happy.”
“You did well today, this is just as it should be. Don’t trust Xiao Lang, he isn’t sincere towards you.”
Jian Yufei couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. This devil, she was genuinely afraid of him.
Ruan Tianling released her chin, the corner of his mouth still curled in an enchanting smile.
He fondly ruffled her hair and started the car to leave.
Jian Yufei leaned against the seat back, silently looking at the window.
Back at the restaurant earlier, she almost begged Xiao Lang to help her.
She was desperate to escape from Ruan Tianling, and wouldn’t give up even the slightest hope.
If Xiao Lang genuinely could help her, she figured she would not be able to resist accepting his kindness.
But in the end, she held back.
She didn’t dare to trust Xiao Lang easily, didn’t dare cross Ruan Tianling’s bottom line, and didn’t dare to take risks.
Jian Yufei realized that after a ruthless threat from Ruan Tianling today, her courage seemed to shrink a size or two.
Maybe he was just making empty threats, he wouldn’t really imprison her forever, right?
After all, that would be unlawful, and with a big company to run, he couldn’t afford to break the law – doing so would mean bringing down the entire company.
After some self-consolation, Jian Yufei’s courage grew slightly larger.
She shifted slightly, then asked Ruan Tianling neutrally, “Did you mean what you said?”
“About letting me go out, and not keeping me locked up all the time.”
Ruan Tianling glance at her, and Jian Yufei maintained eye contact with him, her heart wildly anxious.
He looked away, the corner of his mouth twitching upwards, “Yes, I meant what I said. I’d like you to go out more often, it will help improve your mood. Yufei, any signs of your depression lately?”
Recently, he had been watching her closely and observed that she seemed to be back to normal, with no signs of those uncontrollable, self-destructive urges anymore.
Jian Yufei paused for a moment before realizing it – her depression seemed to have improved.
It appeared as if after returning from D City, her depression was gone.
When the two assassins Xu Man had hired planned to push her off the building, she overcame her psychological barriers and no longer contemplated suicide by jumping off the building.
