Ruan Zeyan’s teasing gave Ling Tianya a big red face. Why didn’t she know that this man was so flirty?
“You should have a good rest today.”
Ling Tianya’s shy look made Ruan Zeyan want to devour her right there. But he decide to let her go. He was really tired today. He hadn’t rested well for a few days and he was actually really sleepy at this moment.
Ruan Zeyan lied back down and held Ling Tianya in his arms before he closed his eyes.
Soon, Ling Tianya could hear the man’s heavy breathing. She looked at him from the side. This man was spent. She had never seen such dark circles under his eyes.
Ling Tianya furrowed her brows as she gazed at Ruan Zeyan. She knew that this man couldn’t really take care of himself when he worked, which worried her deeply.
Ruan Zeyan slept through the entire afternoon. When Ling Tao rushed home, he still had not woken up.
When he was at work, Ling Tao received a notice from the family that Ruan Zeyan had come to their house. But he was signing a very important contract at the time and couldn’t go home immediately. God knew how anxious he was then. But when he rushed through work and got home, he was told that Ruan Zeyan was sleeping in Ling Tianya’s room and had not yet woken up.
Ling Tao felt a sense of relief, only followed by an inexplicable sadness.
He thought about the man sleeping in his daughter’s room right now, who would soon marry his daughter and take her away. She would no longer be the daughter of Ling Family, but instead a daughter-in-law of Ruan Family. Ling Tao’s heart was filled with unspeakable sorrow.
Sullen or not, he knew that he still needed to be a good host to Ruan Zeyan.
Before Ling Tao came back, Mdm Ling had already warned all the servants of Ling Family not to tell Ling Tao about the offense Liu Fen’s committed today.
As for Ruan Zeyan’s men, Mdm Ling suspected that they should not be so petty as to mention a thing like this.
Ling Tianya was the only person Mdm Ling was worried about, but there was nothing she could do. In any case, tonight, Liu Fen must sleep in Ling Tao’s bed.
When Ruan Zeyan finally woke up, it was time for dinner. He came out of Ling Tianya’s room and saw that a sumptuous dinner was ready and waiting for this future son-in-law to enjoy.
Things were rather harmonious at the dinner table.
Liu Fen was ordered not to come out by Mdm Ling, so she didn’t show her face throughout the whole meal.
Ling Tianya did not mention the things that happened earlier during the day, so Mdm Ling’s heart was finally relaxed. With a rare gentle smile on her face, she said “You should take your time with the food and drinks. It’s a rare opportunity that Zeyan is here, so please enjoy yourself tonight. Zeyan, you don’t have to leave, spend the night here.”
When he heard his mother address Ruan Zeyan directly by his first name, Ling Tao was shocked, fearing any dissatisfaction of the man. But it seemed that Ruan Zeyan did not reject the way Mdm Ling addressed him, so Ling Tao’s nerves were relaxed.
Then Mdm Ling stood up and said. “I am old and can’t stay late as your youngsters. I’m going to retreat to my room. Tianya, drink some more with your dad and your fiancé so they are happy, okay?”
Ling Tianya was not used to Mdm Ling talking to her so nicely. She had a feeling that something fishy must be going on due to the abnormality.
Could it be that she was trying to get Ling Tao drunk tonight so Liu Fen would have her opportunity?
