Chapter 83: A Cold Face Every Day_l
Jian Yufei propped herself up, tucking her messy hair behind her ears with an icy demeanor.
How silly she was, thinking that he had truly started treating her well.
Some people just can’t be trusted, no matter what!
And now, she finally understood what it felt like to be doted on by him.
The way he doted on her was no different than the way he doted on Jin Beibei and the others…
He’d dote on them when he found them fresh and exciting, and stop once he grew tired.
Turns out, he merely saw her as one among his many women…
At this thought, Jian Yufei sneered coldly. “Ruan Tianling, someone like you will never be worthy of my regard, not in a million years!”
Everyone knew that Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling had had a fight. But no one knew what caused it, and those involved wouldn’t say.
Ruan Tianling was even sterner, throwing the home’s atmosphere into a downward spiral.
The servants treaded lightly, afraid of accidentally provoking the young master.
Seeing her son’s bad mood, Ruan’s mother took it out on Jian Yufei.
“What on earth did you two fight about? Look at Tianling, he’s in a bad mood every day. It’s not easy for him to manage such a big company. He’s already frustrated at work and now even at home. Are you trying to add to his troubles?
No matter what you fought about, you must make up with him immediately.
We can’t let him go on like this!”
“Mother, you should be well aware of his temper. I’ve done my best, but he’s still not satisfied. There’s nothing I can do.” Jian Yufei replied indifferently, standing up to head upstairs.
Seeing her attitude, Ruan’s mother grew even more annoyed.
Ruan Anguo sighed, “Enough, Yufei is right. She’s already doing her best.”
“Father, why do you always take her side….”
Jian Yufei closed the door, shutting out Ruan’s mother’s complaints. She sat on the bed, feeling emotionally drained.
Living in such a family with a husband like Ruan Tianling, she might never find happiness in her entire life.
All she hoped for, this time, was for Ruan Tianling to understand that they were not suited to be husband and wife.
And then take the initiative to propose a divorce.
As Jian Yufei was contemplating this, her phone rang. It was a call from her mother, Wang Daizhen.
“Yufei, the weekend after next is a holiday. You and Tianling should come over for dinner. I’ve been so busy recently and I finally get a break. I thought I’d cook something for you guys. Plus, your uncle would like to treat Tianling to a meal to express his gratitude for all the help.”
“Mother, Ruan Tianling is quite busy. He might not have time. I could just come by myself.” Jian Yufei suggested.
Wang Daizhen sounded a bit disappointed, “Is that so? Please let him know anyway. If he finds some time, he could join us. Alright then, I’m hanging up now.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, Jian Yufei massaged her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She started planning how to discuss the hotel’s management issues with her stepfather once she was home.
When Ruan Tianling came home that night, Jian Yufei had already gone to bed.
She knew he was back, but she didn’t open her eyes, nor did she mention anything about her plan to go home.
For the past few days, Ruan Tianling had not spoken to her. He first went to the bathroom to take a shower. After coming out, he lay down next to her, making his movements loud on purpose.
Jian Yufei lay still, her back turned towards him, her eyes slightly open. His hand suddenly landed on her waist. Her eyelashes fluttered and her body stiffened.
A hot body immediately pressed against her from behind. He embraced her from the back, his intentions clear.
Jian Yufei quickly turned around to face him, pushing against his chest, “Can you quit bothering me and let me sleep?”
