Jian Yufei skipped over the topic, "Nangong Xu said he would spare us, so let’s get ready to return to China soon."
Ruan Tianling’s eyes shifted slightly: "He told you this?"
Jian Yufei was afraid he’d notice sothing amiss, so she said in a low voice, "My mother is pregnant with a boy."
"..."
"We no longer pose any threat to him." Jian Yufei continued, "He made a promise face to face with my mother, swearing not to trouble us anymore, and he swore on his child’s na."
Ruan Tianling also understood the significance of that child to Nangong Xu.
Since he dared to swear on his child, it must be true that he won’t trouble them anymore.
Suddenly, without any worries, he saw a bright future ahead.
Ruan Tianling held her hand, saying joyfully, "Once your injury heals, we’ll go back! Although Nangong Xu said that, we should still be cautious for a while, just in case he changes his mind. Yufei, once we go back, we’ll get married. After your face recovers, I’ll hold a grand wedding for you globally, what do you think?"
Jian Yufei withdrew her hand indifferently.
"I am still nominally Qi Ruisen’s wife."
Ruan Tianling was displeased. Did she have to bring this up?
"I’ll find him imdiately and make him divorce you!" They must divorce right away; he couldn’t stand Jian Yufei being called soone else’s wife any longer.
"Let’s discuss this in a couple of days. Let’s observe for a few days first, and see if Nangong Xu makes any other moves."
Ruan Tianling pursed his lips without answering, which could be considered an agreent.
Jian Yufei closed her eyes: "You should go back to rest, I also want to rest."
"Are you chasing away again?!" Ruan Tianling held her hand tightly and sat still, "I’ll stay here with you. Don’t even think about chasing away. If you want to rest, I won’t disturb you."
"Ruan Tianling, I just want to be alone right now."
Ruan Tianling’s tone was low but resolute: "You want to be alone, but I just want to be with you! You don’t need to say anything else, I won’t leave unless we leave together!"
Jian Yufei looked at him but said nothing more.
She withdrew her hand, tucked it under the blanket, and closed her eyes to rest.
Ruan Tianling clenched his hand and sat quietly beside her, indeed not disturbing her.
...
Under his fiery gaze, Jian Yufei couldn’t sleep.
Thinking about the two years she had left, her heart throbbed with sharp pain.
She wasn’t ready to leave this world; she had a loved one, a child, and a mother.
It took so much effort to reach where she was today, how could she bear to die?
Actually, she wanted to lay it all out for Ruan Tianling and spend the last two years well.
But she knew very well that once Ruan Tianling found out she didn’t have long to live, he’d be consud by fear and agony every day.
Moreover, the day she died would also be the day he ended his own life.
She had seen the extent of his obsessive love before.
Previously, just because she ’didn’t love’ him anymore and they couldn’t be together, he intended to drag her down with him.
Let alone now.
But she didn’t want him to die with her, their child was still so young and had endured so much already.
Without a mother, he couldn’t also lose a father.
Furthermore, she hoped Ruan Tianling would live well, and not end his young life.
