Chapter 415: Chapter 415 Climbing up to the Balcony_1
Jian Yufei’s fingers, resting on the railing, moved slightly.
If she toppled the ladder, would he fall to his death?
The answer was that he wouldn’t die, but he’ll just get injured or crippled, and she would be in trouble too, facing jail or worse consequences.
So, she decided against it.
Jian Yufei gripped her hands tight, forced to watch helplessly as he climbed the ladder and stepped onto the balcony, appearing majestic as though a deity descending before her.
“I thought you would knock down the ladder.” As Ruan Tianling’s feet touched the ground, this was the first thing he said to her.
Jian Yufei thought to herself, she indeed had such an idea, but even if she knocked it over, it wouldn’t kill him.
“I didn’t expect you to resort to climbing balconies.” She sarcastically comnted.
Ruan Tianling scoffed with a triumphant grin, “Doesn’t it feel like we’re having a secret love affair?”
“…”
“Just like Roo and Juliet.”
“I am not Juliet.”
“I know, and I am not Roo either. I’m just saying it feels like it, having a date on a balcony. How about I climb up to see you every day from now on?”
Jian Yufei walked into the bedroom, not playing along with his idea.
Ruan Tianling gave a knowing smile, following her inside. He closed the glass door leading to the balcony and pulled the curtains. He walked to the bed, laid down and folded his hands behind his head.
The bedroom’s lighting was very soothing, not glaring at all.
Jian Yufei went back into the bathroom to take a shower, and Ruan Tianling stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.
For so reason, even breathing the air here gave him a comfortably settled feeling.
It felt sothing like the taste of a first love.
Tianling smiled at this silly thought. His first love was long gone.
By the ti Jian Yufei ca out of the shower, Tianling appeared to be asleep, wrapped in a blanket.
He was curled up, occupying over half the bed, leaving her to carefully lie on the edge.
When she turned off the lights and was about to sleep, the man behind her abruptly grabbed her arm, pulling her close into his embrace.
Jian Yufei collided against his chest, his hand swiftly tightened around her waist and a leg hooked over hers.
“You…” Jian Yufei struggled shyly for a mont, but the man behind her tightened his grip, holding her even more closely.
“This way, with you pressing against , I will be uncomfortable while sleeping.” She had no choice but to voice her discomfort.
This reminded Tianling that she was pregnant.
He retracted his leg and loosened his grip considerably, “Let’s sleep like this.”
Jian Yufei laid on her side, facing away from him, a hand cushioning her face. Eyes wide open, she couldn’t fall asleep.
He was right behind her, his scent perated the air, strong and omnipresent. Every breath she took was tainted with his sll, a scent both familiar and alien to her.
She was comfortable with his scent, yet she wanted to move away from him, not to be near him anymore.
She really didn’t want to stay by his side. She was certain that she didn’t love him, but she feared becoming accustod to him, and then unable to part ways.
So she had to run away from his side, leave early before she becos too accustod to him.
It seed as if he could sense her thoughts, Tianling suddenly turned her around, with his body on top of hers.
In the darkness, Jian Yufei’s bright eyes t his dark gaze, their breaths becoming especially noticeable, loud and clear in the quiet darkness.
“Before we sleep, how about a goodnight kiss?” Ruan Tianling asked with a smirk.
