Chapter 690: Chapter 690 Chose to let Ruan Tianling Stay_1
She didn’t know how long she had been crying, but she kept sobbing until she wore herself out and fell asleep.
Xiao Lang crouched before her, his hands on either side of her bed, looking at her with pained eyes.
“Can you tell me what happened?”
“Yufei, I know you consider me a stranger. But please believe me, I will never harm you.”
Only then did Jian Yufei flutter her eyelashes, looking at him: “Thank you for your concern, I’m alright.”
Xiao Lang asked, somewhat irritated: “If nothing is wrong, why were you crying? If nothing is wrong, why did you walk around aimlessly all day, looking utterly desolate?”
“I really am alright.”
“Did Ruan Tianling do something? Did he bully and harm you again?”
Why did he have to use ‘again’?
Both he and Yan Yue said that Ruan Tianling had hurt her before, but she was still unwilling to believe it.
“Xiao Lang, thank you for today. You should get some rest, I am tired,” Jian Yufei said calmly.
Xiao Lang’s lips were tightly pressed. He suddenly held her injured right foot and lifted it.
“You…” Jian Yufei leaned back slightly, her hands Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
She was about to get angry when she suddenly caught a figure out of the corner of her eye.
She swiftly turned to look, only to see Ruan Tianling standing at the doorway.
His appearance made her heart skip several beats.
His eyes were dark and brooding, glaring at them sharply, as if he were trying to bore a hole through Xiao Lang’s hand.
Jian Yufei stared at him, forgetting to react.
Xiao Lang just cast him a cool glance, with no discernible expression on his face.
He let go of Jian Yufei’s hand and slowly rose to his feet.
Ruan Tianling walked in, a chilly smirk on his face.
But his gaze was icy cold, even murderous!
He advanced a couple of steps forward, and then suddenly swung a punch at Xiao Lang—
“No…” Jian Yufei cried out in alarm.
“Thud—” Xiao Lang was struck by the punch, a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth.
Ruan Tianling’s anger flared even more when he heard Jian Yufei pleading for Xiao Lang.
He clenched his fist and threw another punch. This time Xiao Lang was prepared, evading the attack and retaliating with a punch of his own.
They started scuffling on the spot, using only the simplest and most primitive form of combat.
It was a test of raw strength!
Jian Yufei was taken aback. How had they begun to fight?
“Stop! Don’t fight anymore, just stop it!” She tried to get up and intervene, but someone’s hand held her back, causing her to fall back onto the bed.
“Ah—” As she fell, she twisted her ankle and cried out in pain.
Hearing her voice, the two men stopped at once.
Ruan Tianling shoved Xiao Lang aside, rushed to Jian Yufei, and asked in a foreboding voice, “Where were you hurt?”
He thought she must have been inadvertently caught in their skirmish.
Gripping his hand tightly, Jian Yufei pleaded urgently, “Stop fighting. If you wish to fight, take it outside, not in my room!”
“Fine, I won’t fight him, but he must leave!” Ruan Tianling spoke coldly and unequivocally.
Jian Yufei turned to Xiao Lang, guiltily apologizing, “I’m sorry for drawing you into this, you should go rest.”
Xiao Lang’s eyes dimmed at her words.
She had chosen to let Ruan Tianling stay, not him.
He had always known that he wasn’t important to her, but he’d always hoped that she would choose him just once.
But after choosing him the first time, she never chose him again.
