Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1722: Chapter 1722 Saying Words of Compromise

”No, as long as we don’t know the child’s whereabouts, I won’t give up for a single day!”

Nangong Ruyue sighed as she looked at her. She knew she couldn’t persuade her to give up this idea.

Putting herself in her shoes, if it were her, she wouldn’t be able to give up either.

But she didn’t want Yufei to sacrifice herself for a false hope.

Determination flashed in Nangong Ruyue’s eyes.

For the sake of the children, she could only give up Zexin.

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

The quiet night passed quickly.

The next day, Nangong Xu didn’t go out to work; he took a day off at the castle.

A maid came to call Jian Yufei and Nangong Ruyue downstairs for breakfast.

They went to the dining hall and saw Nangong Xu already seated.

Today, Nangong Xu wore a silver-white shirt with three buttons undone and rolled-up sleeves. Clean-shaven, he looked very charming.

Jian Yufei thought, a certain fifty-something superstar back home looked so young and handsome, but still wasn’t as charming as he was.

If this man weren’t so insidious and despicable, he would actually be quite a good man.

However, Jian Yufei still hoped her mother could be with her father.

No matter how charming Nangong Xu was, he couldn’t compare to the father in her heart.

Jian Yufei and Nangong Ruyue sat across from him.

”Did you sleep well last night?” Nangong Xu asked with a mild smile.

”It was alright.” Jian Yufei responded to him indifferently.

Nangong Xu glanced at Nangong Ruyue, ”Ruyue, you seem to be in good spirits. Had I known earlier, I’d have let Yufei accompany you to sleep sooner.”

Nangong Ruyue ignored his words and quietly ate her meal.

Nangong Xu didn’t mind; he was already used to it.

After the three finished breakfast, Nangong Ruyue said to Jian Yufei, ”I’m feeling a bit unwell today. Go check on your grandfather and ask more about his condition. I’m worried about him.”

Jian Yufei asked with concern, ”Mom, where are you feeling unwell? Do you need to see a doctor?”

”I’m not seriously ill; you should go.”

Jian Yufei suddenly realized, was her mother deliberately sending her away?

What did she want to say to Nangong Xu?

”Mom, I’m only at ease if you’re alright,” Jian Yufei subtly reminded her not to do anything foolish.

Nangong Ruyue nodded and gave her a reassuring smile.

Only then did Jian Yufei get up to leave.

After she left, Nangong Xu raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Ruyue, what do you want to tell me?”

Nangong Ruyue gestured calmly, ”Let’s talk in the study.”

Nangong Xu got up and walked with her to the study.

As soon as they entered, Nangong Ruyue directly asked him, ”What exactly will it take for you to let Yufei and Ansel go?”

Nangong Xu raised an eyebrow, ”I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

”In front of me, you don’t need to pretend. Speak frankly; what will it take for you to spare them? Whatever the request, just say it, and I’ll agree.”

This was the first time Nangong Ruyue had said something like this in front of him.

No matter what happened before, she would never utter words of compromise.

Clearly, she truly had no other option now.

Nangong Xu stared at her and asked in a low voice, ”You’ll agree to any request I propose?”

Nangong Ruyue nodded, ”Yes. As long as you let Yufei and Ansel go, I only want them to be safe. If you want the Nangong Family, take it; we don’t need it. Rest assured, Ansel has never been your obstacle, nor does he need to inherit the family. Our ambition is not as great as yours.”
