Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1573: Chapter 1573: My Mother-in-Law’s Approach is Correct

Ruan Tianling didn’t eat much at dinner.

Jian Yufei specifically made a bowl of wontons and brought it to him.

When she pushed open the door to the study, she saw him staring blankly at the computer.

Seeing her come in, Ruan Tianling closed the laptop.

Jian Yufei smiled and said, ”What are you looking at? Afraid I’ll see it?”

”Nothing much. Did you make wontons?” Ruan Tianling stood up and took the tray from her hands.

”You didn’t eat much for dinner, so I made you a bowl. Eat it while it’s hot.”

Ruan Tianling placed the tray on the desk and pulled Jian Yufei to sit down.

”Yufei...”

”What?”

Ruan Tianling’s gaze darkened. He fixed his eyes on her and asked, ”Do you blame me for taking you away without telling you?”

At the mention of this, Jian Yufei’s heart sank again.

”What’s the point of talking about it now that we’ve already left?” Jian Yufei chuckled faintly, ”Hurry up and eat, or it’ll get cold.”

Ruan Tianling had no appetite. After watching that video, it felt like something was stuck in his throat—he couldn’t eat or speak.

But since Jian Yufei had made it for him, no matter how little he wanted to eat, he had to.

Picking up the spoon, Ruan Tianling quickly lowered his head and wolfed down the wontons. In no time, they were gone.

Jian Yufei hurriedly poured him a glass of water. ”Slow down! Why are you eating so fast?”

Ruan Tianling took a sip of water and smiled, ”It’s because your cooking is so good. I couldn’t wait to finish it.”

Jian Yufei rolled her eyes at him teasingly. ”Go on with your work. I’m leaving now.”

She began tidying up the tray to leave, but Ruan Tianling called out to her again. ”Do you really not blame me?”

Jian Yufei knew this was a knot in both their hearts for now.

She set the tray back down and sat beside him again. ”How should I put it... Yes, I blame you a little. But I know you did it for our own good... And besides, my mother also gave me some advice...”

”What advice?”

Jian Yufei seemed despondent. ”She told me we’re no match for Nangong Xu. She said if we ever had the chance, we should run as far away as we can. She told us not to worry about her or Grandpa.”

”She told you that?” Ruan Tianling was slightly taken aback.

After all, Nangong Wenxiang had brought everyone to London precisely to face off against Nangong Xu.

But Nangong Ruyue was urging them to leave when they had the chance, telling them not to get caught up in the situation.

Jian Yufei nodded. ”Yes. My mom cares most about our personal safety. She doesn’t care about the Nangong Family’s fate. She’s different from Grandpa—he cares most about the family’s destiny.”

”Your mother’s approach makes perfect sense.”

”What you mean is, *your* approach makes perfect sense, right?” Jian Yufei joked with a laugh.

Ruan Tianling pulled her into his arms, his voice low and solemn. ”Yufei, I know I’m selfish. I only want to protect you and the child. What happens to everyone else doesn’t matter to me. I also know, asking you to leave your family behind and not care whether they live or die is cruel to you. But staying in London doesn’t help us at all. We can’t even deal with someone like Qi Ruigang, let alone Nangong Xu.”

”I understand. I really do...”

”No. You can’t really understand how I feel.” Ruan Tianling’s lips pressed into a thin line.

”Qi Ruigang alone has endangered your life multiple times. They’re ruthless and always catch us off guard. Yufei, what I fear most is Nangong Xu abandoning his restraint and making a preemptive move. If he ever does strike, I’m terrified he’ll aim directly for your life.”

If Jian Yufei were to die, everything he had strived for would be meaningless.
