Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: His Heart is Profoundly Empty Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276: His Heart is Profoundly Empty Jian Yufei finished washing her body, washed her face, and brushed her teeth before going out.

In the bedroom, Ruan Tianling leaned against the headboard, holding a silver Zippo lighter in his hand, flipping the lid open and shut repeatedly.

The pale blue flame flickered, as uncertain as his expression at that moment.

Jian Yufei stood in front of him and said indifferently, “I’ll go sleep in another room. We shouldn’t be like this… I agreed to give you ten days, but it doesn’t mean like this…”

Ruan Tianling looked up, his voice gentle as he patted the spot beside him, “Come up and sleep.”

“I want to go to another room…”

“Are you angry with me?” he asked bluntly.

Jian Yufei was startled for a moment, then shook her head, “No.”

“I thought you were angry because I beat up Xiao Lang,” Ruan Tianling’s tone was very calm, but his dark eyes harbored a brewing storm.

Jian Yufei sensed the danger in the air, afraid to speak recklessly and provoke him.

“I’m not angry.”

“Then come up and sleep.”

Jian Yufei lowered her gaze to her own shoe tips, “Ruan Tianling, if we keep going like this, I’m afraid I’ll end up hurting you deeply.”

“The way you are now hurts me even more.”

Jian Yufei raised her eyes to meet his, and Ruan Tianling smiled tenderly, “I won’t touch you tonight, come and sleep. Aren’t you tired?”

Jian Yufei hesitated for a moment but still walked to the side of the bed, sat down, and lay next to him.

Ruan Tianling also turned over to lie down, wrapping his arms around her, possessively claiming her with his arms and legs.

Jian Yufei inhaled his scent but couldn’t fall asleep.

Today, she wasn’t angry with him; she had just realized something.

The matter that had sent him to prison was an obstacle in his heart that he would never get over. Even if they didn’t break up, that incident would always lie between them like a thorn, occasionally pricking them.

Could the two of them ever return to the time when their hearts were free of burdens?

Jian Yufei’s mind wandered in a mess, but she eventually fell into a deep sleep.

But Ruan Tianling couldn’t sleep.

Even though he held her body, inhaled her scent, and felt her warmth, he still felt an emptiness inside.

His heart was so void, even the whole world couldn’t fill the vast black hole inside.

And that hole was getting bigger, threatening to completely devour him.

Ruan Tianling’s eyes glittered with a cold light.

What to do, he was losing himself day by day…

************************

In order not to give Ruan Tianling any false hopes, Jian Yufei’s attitude towards him had always been indifferent.

She accepted everything he gave her but never responded to him.

She gave nothing in return.

They interacted oddly, with him treating her so well it was beyond description, yet she remained cold and indifferent.

Every day, he cooked dinner for her, peeled fruit for her after they ate.

During the day he took her to work, no matter where he went, she was always with him, never separating for 24 hours.

At night he was insatiable, expressing his passion for her with his strong physique…

They were like conjoined twins, always together.

If they had nothing else to do, they would kiss or make love… never growing tired of it.

Such days were decadent, yet seductively inviting one to willingly indulge for eternity, never wanting to wake up.

Jian Yufei reminded herself not to drown in his affection, even as she selfishly savored these final moments.

As each day passed, the closer they got to the agreed time, the more panic and tension they felt.
