Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Ruan Tianling comforted her: ”Don’t be afraid, I’m here, I won’t let anything happen to you.”

His comfort was useless to her.

”Ruan Tianling, you shouldn’t have come here. If it’s inevitable that one of us has to die, let me be the one. At least you can survive.”

”What nonsense are you talking about!”

”This isn’t nonsense, it’s true. I should have stopped you from coming, one person dying is always better than two.”

Ruan Tianling’s expression was grim: ”If it were you, would you come?”

”...”

Jian Yufei bit her lip, her eyes somewhat reddened.

”Or do you think, if I didn’t come, and you died, I would continue to live?”

”I know you’d be in pain, but you know I wish for you to live.”

”I don’t know!” Ruan Tianling lowered his gaze, ”All I know is that if this world doesn’t have Jian Yufei, I have nothing.”

Jian Yufei tried to speak: ”...You still have your parents, and our children...”

Ruan Tianling slightly curled his lips: ”My parents have each other, the two kids have their own lives. But I can only have you, without you, what’s the meaning of my life?”

”Yufei, if it were you, if I died, would you live?”

”I...” Jian Yufei couldn’t answer.

Ruan Tianling gently caressed her cheek: ”That day, you were afraid I’d be eaten by sharks, you risked your life to save me. You even said you were prepared to die together with me. If you can do that, why can’t I?”

”It’s different!”

”It’s the same.” Ruan Tianling’s voice was deep, ”You should know what’s in my heart, and I know what’s in yours. Since we can’t be without each other, why separate in the end? If we really must face death, we should be together and cherish our final moments.”

Jian Yufei’s eyes filled with tears: ”But I don’t want you to die...”

Ruan Tianling chuckled, ”I’m not dead yet, and you’re already thinking about my death. Remember, neither of us will die!”

”Really? If you said this to me before, I would believe it. But now, I really am unsure.”

Ruan Tianling pulled her closer, holding her tight.

”All you need to do is trust me.”

Jian Yufei hugged him back, nodding: ”You’re right, maybe neither of us will die. I trust you...”

Since the road ahead is unclear, rather than being anxious, it’s better to risk it and move forward.

Perhaps ahead lies a turning point.

Even if it truly is Hell, they would face it without regrets.

...

Once Ruan Tianling calmed her, he led her to familiarize herself with the castle.

The castle was enormous—

The inside was dimly lit, with some oil paintings casually hung on the walls.

This castle felt to Jian Yufei just like a vampire’s castle on television.

The vast castle had only the two of them.

They stepped on the polished floor, each step echoing with crisp sounds.

If it weren’t for Ruan Tianling by her side, Jian Yufei would have run away in fright long ago.

”Why is it so creepy here?” Jian Yufei leaned on Ruan Tianling, her hand tightly grasping his.

Ruan Tianling looked around: ”Probably because no one lives here.”

”Has no one really lived here? I always feel like there are ghosts here...”

Ruan Tianling looked at her, chuckling: ”If there were ghosts, that would be great. Even ghosts are afraid of me.”

Jian Yufei: ”...”

”Really, both people and ghosts fear me. So with me here, we won’t have any problems.”

His special comfort warmed Jian Yufei’s heart considerably.
