Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1396: First, Have a Few Drinks With Me

His terrifying voice was laden with thick murderous intent and threats.

Mo Lan clutched the fruit knife, fear evident in her eyes, but so was resolve.

She actually dared to strike him...

This time, she must be dead for sure.

Mo Lan felt utterly disheartened as she gripped the knife and said coldly, ”You don’t need to act; I’ll end my own life. Qi Ruigang, in this lifetime, the person I hate the most is you. If I die, I can be freed!”

After saying that, she raised the knife and thrust it viciously toward her stomach—

”Bitch!” Qi Ruigang bellowed as he rushed over and forcefully pulled her hand away, snatching the fruit knife and carelessly throwing it to the ground.

”Slap—” Before Mo Lan could react, her face was struck by a slap.

She tumbled awkwardly off the bed and landed heavily on the floor...

Qi Ruigang walked over to her and, with his uninjured hand, forcefully lifted her up.

Mo Lan’s feet left the ground, and she found herself eye-to-eye with him.

Qi Ruigang said through clenched teeth, with a sinister tone, ”It won’t be so easy for you to die! If you die, I’ll just feed your corpse to the dogs!”

”You... you’re not human!” Tears glittered in Mo Lan’s eyes, half of her face already swelling up.

”The day you hooked up with Qi Ruisen, that’s when you ceased to be a person to me!”

She turned the tables to say that she wasn’t human...

Shivering with rage, Mo Lan stubbornly held back her tears and said, ”Just kill me then, just do it!”

Qi Ruigang let out a cold laugh and flung her onto the bed.

Mo Lan was covered in wounds, and the forceful push made her vision darken with pain, nearly causing her to faint.

”It would be too easy on you both if I killed you! Keeping you alive to slowly torment you, that’s what’s truly interesting.”

After a cold, cruel smile, Qi Ruigang strode out of the hospital room.

”From today on, you all better watch the young lady carefully. If anything happens to her, I’ll have your lives! Do you hear me!”

”We hear you!” Several maids nodded their heads in agreement, meek and subservient.

Mo Lan painfully clutched the sheets, closed her eyes, and two silent trails of tears fell...

At night, in an upscale club.

The door to the private room opened—

Wearing a black cocktail hat, Daisy entered gracefully.

Ruan Tianling stood up, smirked lightly, and made an inviting gesture like a gentleman: ”Please have a seat, Miss Daisy.”

Taking off her hat and tossing it aside carelessly, Daisy spun around and leaned her seemingly boneless body against Ruan Tianling, her slender fingers already hooking on his tie.

”Ruan, one wouldn’t visit a temple without a cause. Surely, you wouldn’t need my help with something, would you?” Daisy looked at him, asking with a teasing and charming smile.

Ruan Tianling stood tall and didn’t push her away.

”Miss Daisy is indeed perceptive. I do seek your assistance indeed, and I assure you, you won’t be shortchanged.”

Daisy smiled seductively and said, ”I don’t want compensation. How about if I asked you for one night instead?”

Ruan Tianling stared at her, his gaze suddenly becoming icy and dark.

Daisy tilted her head and kissed his chin, laughing, ”I’m just joking with you. But we can at least have a few drinks together, right?”

”Of course,” Ruan Tianling smiled faintly.

...

Jian Yufei lay on the bed, hesitating whether to call Ruan Tianling or not.

She wondered if he had calmed down by this time...

Without much consideration, she still dialed his number.

Ruan Tianling and Daisy had already had two drinks when suddenly the ring of the phone halted him mid-conversation.
