Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 949: Chapter 949: He’s Rejecting Her Approach Chapter 949: Chapter 949: He’s Rejecting Her Approach “Yes, you can take him away–we can satisfy that request.”

“Thank you.”

The steward smiled, “No need to be polite. The ring, I will take it.”

Jian Yufei hastily took the ring and laid it in the palm of her delicate hand.

She looked at it with reluctance before handing it over, “Here, you take it.”

The steward reached out and took the ring.

Jian Yufei’s heart ached slightly.

It was the only thing her father had left her.

Perhaps the ring held great significance…

Yet she had just handed it over, used it up–she wondered if her father would be angry if he knew…

But she couldn’t stand by and watch someone die.

She could not let Xiao Zibin’s conspiracy succeed, nor could she stand by and watch the Ruan Family fall into dire straits.

“Please follow me, I will let you take the person away,” said the steward, stepping forward first.

Jian Yufei quickly followed behind him.

She nervously clutched her purse and hastened her steps…

She was about to see Ruan Tianling and felt very happy.

Soon, she could take him home.

The steward led her to another door, “Open the door.”

“Yes.” The bodyguard pushed open the door, and Jian Yufei’s gaze swept past the steward’s side, instantly spotting Ruan Tianling standing inside the room.

He stood with his back to them in front of the window, his tall frame rigid and straight.

At the sound of the door opening, his spine tensified even more.

But he did not turn around.

The steward said to Jian Yufei, “As long as you are still within the jurisdiction of St. Ann Hall, you can safely take him away. However, once you leave our area, we are no longer responsible for your safety.”

Jian Yufei nodded without making a sound.

She dared not speak, deeply affected by Ruan Tianling’s silence.

After finishing, the steward left with his men, leaving only a waiter to show them the way.

Jian Yufei stood at the door watching Ruan Tianling. She didn’t immediately enter but waited for him to turn around.

But he never turned around.

Jian Yufei sighed and slowly walked in.

The carpet muffled her footsteps, but Ruan Tianling could still sense her approach.

He kept his lips tightly sealed, unwilling to turn around and face her.

The separation of more than three months had made him both yearn for her and fear her.

He wasn’t sure what he feared… Perhaps he feared she had changed.

Since they fell in love, their time together had been incredibly short, totaling less than twelve hours.

Such a brief time could be just a fleeting blossom, perhaps leaving nothing behind.

Moreover, with the humiliation he suffered in her presence today, he was even more afraid that she would look down on him…

Ruan Tianling clenched his fist, emitting an invisible chill.

He was resisting her approach…

Jian Yufei’s footsteps halted, her heart inexplicably heavy.

“Ruan Tianling…” she began, “Are you going to stand like that forever?”

The man slowly turned around, still wearing the Zorro mask.

He hadn’t removed his mask, and neither had she.

In this place, neither dared to show their true faces.

Jian Yufei met his dark eyes, her own eyes flickering. She reached up and removed her mask.

Beneath the mask, her delicate makeup adorned her face, making her more beautiful and enchanting than ever.

She appeared more confident, competent…and even exuded a unique radiance.

Indeed, three months had changed her a lot.

Her demeanor had become even more noble…

Whereas he felt himself to be more wretched and lowly than ever.

Ruan Tianling placed one tightly clenched hand behind him and merely looked at her in silence.
