Jian Yufei turned around and left; Ruan Tianling really infuriated her.
She could understand why he wouldn’t let her leave this place, but why wouldn’t he let her contact Mo Lan or know about Mo Lan’s condition?
She had promised Mo Lan to visit her whenever she was free and to help her escape from Qi Ruigang.
But Ruan Tianling isolated her from the world, and now she couldn’t do anything.
Feeling angry, Jian Yufei returned to the bedroom and picked up the phone to dial Ansel’s number.
"Mommy, is that you?" The call connected quickly, and Ansel’s joyful voice ca from the other end.
"Baby, Mommy needs your help with sothing."
"What is it?"
"Give your stepfather’s phone number. I need to talk to him about sothing."
"Okay..." Ansel was about to say the number when the call suddenly cut off.
Jian Yufei called out in confusion, "Ansel, what happened? Are you still there?"
"..."
"Ansel?"
Still no response.
What happened? Why did it suddenly go silent?
There wasn’t even the beep of a call dropping...
Jian Yufei hung up the phone and frowned as she went to look for Ruan Tianling.
She forcefully pushed open the door to the study—
"Ruan Tianling, what do you an by this!" She stord over to him and exclaid angrily, "Why won’t you let find Qi Ruisen and see Mo Lan! Why won’t you allow to make a phone call! If you don’t give a reasonable explanation, I won’t let this go!"
Ruan Tianling stopped what he was doing and slowly stood up.
He was much taller than her, so he looked down at her.
"You want to know the reason?" he asked in a soft voice.
"Yes!" Jian Yufei tilted her chin up, her eyes resolute.
Ruan Tianling’s gaze was dark as he stepped closer to her, and Jian Yufei stepped back...
"Tell , who has been the person you care about most these days?" he asked.
"...Mo Lan."
"You know it’s soone else. Now tell , how long have you been neglecting ?"
"I haven’t been neglecting you..."
"How much ti have you spent on every day?"
"I..."
Ruan Tianling had her backed into a corner with nowhere to retreat.
The man raised his hands, placing them on each side of her, trapping her between him and the wall.
"Can’t say it anymore?" he asked with a narrowed gaze.
Jian Yufei spoke without words, "Are you jealous because I care about Mo Lan?"
"Yes!" Ruan Tianling answered without hesitation.
"...Mo Lan’s situation is different right now. She is in danger; Qi Ruigang could hurt her at any mont..."
"What can you do by going there?" Ruan Tianling asked coldly.
Jian Yufei frowned, "Protect her, of course."
"With what will you protect her? Have you forgotten the consequences of getting close to Qi Ruigang? It was her protecting you, wasn’t it?"
Jian Yufei was stunned.
Yes, it was Mo Lan who protected her twice...
That’s why she hoped to protect her once, to prevent her from being hurt again.
"Even if I can’t protect her, at least let know about her current situation."
"She’s fine, you don’t need to worry about her."
"I want to speak with her..."
"Jian Yufei!" Ruan Tianling said sharply, "Right now, what you need to do is not to care about anyone else, to not focus on anyone else, but only on ! Tell , how long have you been neglecting ?! Since you woke up, you care about this, you care about that, when have you ever cared about ?!"
Jian Yufei’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she looked at Ruan Tianling’s heaving chest, her heart suddenly feeling uncomfortable.
"I thought I didn’t have to say it, that you would understand..."
"I don’t understand!"
