Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Jian Yufei stole a glance at him, meeting his profound gaze precisely.

His eyes seemed to possess a magical allure; merely one glance was enough to make her heart succumb.

“My girl, all you need to do is nod, and this matter will be settled,” her grandfather’s words suddenly echoed in her ears. Brought back to reality, she nodded dazedly.

Just like that, she became the designated granddaughter-in-law of the Ruan family.

Before their engagement, Ruan Tianling drove her to school every day, took her out for meals, and sometimes even brought her back to the Ruan family home.

He didn’t speak much, and his expressions weren’t diversified.

Each day, he seemed aloof and indifferent, revealing no discernible emotion.

Yet by nature, he was her weakness. He didn’t need to please her, take care of her tenderly, indeed, he didn’t have to do anything.

With just a single look at him every day, her heart would helplessly capitulate.

In just half a month, she fell deeply in love with him, to the extent that… living without him felt worse than death.

However, the day before their engagement, he invited her out and said dryly: “I’ve many women and don’t love you. Marrying you was grandfather’s idea and I don’t mind marrying anyone. If you can’t accept who I am, you could choose not to attend the engagement ceremony tomorrow.”

After saying this, he left without looking back, leaving her alone in the night wind, crying heartbrokenly for hours.

The next day, she calmly attended the engagement ceremony as if nothing had happened.

Looking at her, he didn’t express any surprise. He gave her a faint smile.

That was the first smile he’d given her in the half-month of their acquaintance.

His smile, imbued with a captivating charm, could make hearts race and people lose control over their feelings.

When she saw his smile, all her grievances and torments dissipated instantly.

Even if he asked her to die instantly, she thought, she would willingly oblige.

Such thoughts brought a bitter smile to Jian Yufei.

Eventually, she really died because of him…

Even though he didn’t intentionally push her off the building, her death was indeed for him.

Reflecting on her naive and foolish past-self, Jian Yufei felt sorrowful and distressed. Unconsciously, tears trickled down from the corners of her eyes.

Ruan Tianling walked into the living room and saw her alone, weeping foolishly on the sofa.

He thought to himself, it seems she is genuinely sick. His grandpa hadn’t lied to him over the phone.

Suddenly, a tall figure appeared before her blurry teary eyes. As Jian Yufei looked up, she met the man’s inscrutable gaze.

Startled, she quickly wiped off the tears on her face once she regained her composure.

“What brought you home all of a sudden?” she asked him, feeling awkward.

What a disgrace. He better not think she was crying over him.

“I heard you’re sick. Is it true?” he asked in a low voice.

“Just a minor cold, I’m okay now,” she replied, her voice carrying that nasal tone typical of a cold. Coupled with the crying, her voice sounded even more nasal.

“Did you see a doctor?” Ruan Tianling asked her in a rare show of concern.

Jian Yufei was taken aback by his sudden concern. His mind had been entirely preoccupied with Yan Yue these past few days. He probably wouldn’t have even come home at night if he hadn’t thought that would be excessively unkind.

So, when he showed genuine concern, she found it hard to digest.

“No, I’ll be fine after taking some medication,” Jian Yufei had regained her composure and her expression had returned to its usual nonchalance.
