Chapter 686: Chapter 686: Ruan Tianling, It’s Over Between Us_1
Xiao Lang offered her a tissue to wipe her tears, but she pulled away after a stunned second.
She didn’t accept his kindness and chose to wipe her tears with her own tissues.
“Is it too spicy?” Xiao Lang asked her softly.
Yes, it was so spicy that it made her want to cry.
Jian Yufei couldn’t eat anymore and wanted to leave. The chili, rather than stimulating her appetite, had made her cry.
She left the noodle shop and walked aimlessly.
Xiao Lang didn’t try to persuade her to get in his car, he simply followed her without discouraging her from walking.
They had been walking for a day and now Jian Yufei couldn’t walk any further.
If she kept going, she might as well ruin her feet.
After hanging up the phone with Ruan Tianling, she found a nearby hotel and booked a room.
Xiao Lang booked a room as well, right across from hers.
“You don’t have to follow me everywhere.” Jian Yufei said to him lightly, holding her room key.
Xiao Lang smiled, “I won’t disturb you. Don’t worry.”
Indeed, he had followed her all along but aside from leading her to eat, he didn’t really disturb her.
She couldn’t prevent him from following her since she didn’t own the road, so she let him be.
They took the elevator to their rooms.
As Jian Yufei opened her door, she heard Xiao Lang behind her, “Yufei, good night. I hope you’re feeling better.”
Without turning around, Jian Yufei entered her room and closed the door.
She didn’t know if her mood had improved. She just felt her world dim and joyless.
Another hour passed, and the manager waiting downstairs had not seen Jian Yufei yet.
Ruan Tianling sat at one end of the long table, as still as a statue.
His was stern, his features hard and deep, with not a single soft line.
His sharp, black eyes were darker than the night, beneath which lay a heavy shadow.
He had thought that Jian Yufei would arrive quickly, so he had eagerly waited for her.
Yet, his hope gradually turned into disappointment…
His originally warm heart had turned cold.
The violinist and pianist sat in a corner, and several waiters in hats, white shirts, and black vests stood respectfully on both sides, all waiting with him.
They could all feel the tension in the air, each silent, not daring to make a sound.
No one knew how much time had passed…
Finally, the initially motionless Ruan Tianling, shifted slightly.
He picked up his phone and dialed Jian Yufei’s number.
Jian Yufei had just emerged from the bathroom after taking a shower when she heard the familiar ringtone. Her heart skipped a beat.
She couldn’t delay anymore. It was time to break up with him.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Yufei picked up her phone, not to answer the call, but to hang up on him.
She opened up her messaging app, trembling, and typed out a message.
[Don’t try to find me anymore. Let’s break up.]
Those few words took a lot of effort to type out.
After pressing the send button, she quickly turned off her phone and then sank on the bed, feeling powerless.
The chapter with Ruan Tianling… was closed.
Jian Yufei closed her eyes, pain coursing through her, and two streams of tears slipped from the corner of her eyes.
She had been holding back tears all this while, only having allowed herself a small breakdown when eating the noodles.
But it had been so hard to hold back, she really wanted to let it all out and cry her eyes out.
Now that she was alone, she could finally weep without restraint.
Jian Yufei rolled over onto her stomach and suddenly burst into a fit of crying onto the bed!
