Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 559: Chapter 559 A Good ‘No Regrets’_1

“And Miss Jian…”

Ruan Tianling’s lips curled into a cold smirk as he kicked the wooden box with the tip of his foot. “Isn’t it time for you to come out?”

Jian Yufei felt an instant despair. So, he knew she was hiding here all along. No wonder he had been standing here, refusing to leave.

One of Ruan Tianling’s men came forward to lift the wooden box, revealing her to the crowd. There was nowhere to hide.

As she lifted her gaze, she met Ruan Tianling’s dark and icy eyes.

The man looked down at her. “Would you prefer to come with me voluntarily, or should my men drag you along?”

Jian Yufei slowly stood up, her body numb. She was still wearing her long-sleeved pajamas, a bag slung over her shoulder, and a pair of flats on her feet.

Her outfit was an obvious mismatch; a clear sign of how much she was rushed while trying to escape.

“Even though you’ve caught me, I don’t regret trying to escape.” She stared at Ruan Tianling, her voice cold and detached.

The man grabbed her face, an unmistakable cold violence in his eyes. “A fine ‘no regret’. I’ll show you exactly what consequences those words will bring upon you.”

He let go, leaving behind the imprints of his fingers on Jian Yufei’s pale cheeks.

She defiantly bit her lip, her eyes filled with hatred for him.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for almost a month, she found him just as despicable. Every cell in her body revolted and rejected him.

Now that she was back in his hands, she knew, she was likely in for more desperation and pain.

But there was nothing she could do, she had no means to fight against him.

These thoughts filled her heart with so much hatred.

“Take her away!” Ruan Tianling cast her a freezing cold look before turning on his heel and striding away.

Jian Yufei was dragged away, roughly, by his henchmen.

From a dark corner not far away, a man pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

“Master, Miss Jian has been taken by Ruan Tianling!”

“Excuse me?!” Sitting at his desk, Xiao Lang shot up, his face a mix of shock and fury.

“Are you all useless?! How could you let him take her?! Why did you wait to inform me?!”

“Master, it was the old master’s wish. We had no choice but to follow his orders.”

Xiao Lang’s face paled, his whole body stiffening.

He hung up, numbly dialing his father’s number. “Father, why did you let Ruan Tianling take her away?”

Had it not been for his subordinates’ purposeful negligence, Jian Yufei wouldn’t have been taken away. The three bodyguards he had left by her side were all talented individuals discharged from international special forces.

With their abilities, were they really incapable of protecting a woman?

A deep, elderly voice came over from the other side of the phone. “Ruan Tianling was bound to find her sooner or later. The timing is also about right now. There’s no need to keep her hidden any longer.”

Xiao Lang replied coldly, “Father, I’ve said it before. If you want the Ruan Family, I will do everything I can to help you take it. Yufei is innocent. She shouldn’t be involved in this any further.”

“Enough! Everybody is innocent, except for her! All you need to do is follow my arrangements, stop worrying about things that don’t concern you!”

“But Yufei has already suffered enough…”

“Silence! Have you forgotten my teachings? You must never let your emotions cloud your judgment. Only through calmness and ruthlessness can you achieve great things!”
