Chapter 102: Use Me As You Please (2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the silent, dark, and cold study, Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing’s voices stuck out like a sore thumb. They were filled with mockery and disdain. Their voices were like countless pins stabbing themselves into Ruan Zeyan’s heart.
It was not lethal, but the pain was unbearable…
On Hu Xin Island, she pleaded to talk it out, she said that she was forced. He didn’t give her any chance to speak up for herself. He had merely crazily and violently ravaging her. He thought that she was just a money-grubber, and that she would do anything for money. He said that she was just worth being a bed-warmer, he said that she was disgusting…
The desire to explain herself had dimmed in her eyes then, not willing to spare him even another look.
She had said, “Ruan Zeyan, if you believed in me, I wouldn’t have to explain anything!”
She had said, “You don’t trust me at all, and even now you say that you forgive me!”
She had said, “I have my own reasons for coming back to China, and there are many things I have to accomplish. Amongst all of it, Ruan Zeyan, you’re not a part of any of it.”
Six years ago, he’d lost his closest buddy, gotten heavily injured, and his entire world view had collapsed after knowing that she had gotten engaged with another man. He was in a coma for one entire month, and when he woke up again, she had already left.
Rumors said that she had eloped with a boy toy with the Li family’s dowry. What a ridiculous claim, and yet he believed it wholeheartedly. It wasn’t until recently that he really realized that it was just a misunderstanding.
So what? She still had betrayed him, she still had gotten herself engaged to another man when he was fighting with his family to stay with her.
Those six years he hadn’t had it easy. He’d thought of all women as his enemy because of her.
He had wanted to get her back countless times and torture her harshly. He wanted to ask her why she had done it?
In reality, he did do it, but he also pushed her far beyond his reach.
She didn’t have a good time those few years either. She really did have her own predicaments…
Ruan Zeyan stared at the floor, the entire study was blanketed in a suffocating darkness.
Du Gang quietly left the room, he knew that his boss must be feeling horrible right then. After all, who could be sure about the things of the heart?
The hospital room was dark, Zhang Ke was nowhere to be found when she woke up. She wanted something to drink, and she propped herself up to sit upright. As she was about to reach out, a cup of water was brought before her.
That was when Ling Tianya realized with a start that there was someone in the room, and that someone was not Zhang Ke.
Even in the pitch black room, Ling Tianya could recognize Ruan Zeyan’s face. The gentle moonlight streamed in through the gaps, the man’s shadow drew a silhouette on the wall by their side. His face was as gentle as the moon’s glow, so gentle that it bewildered Ling Tianya. It was as though they’d travelled back to six years ago.
Ruan Zeyan propped Ling Tianya up before passing her the glass of water.
At the first touch of his cold hands, Ling Tianya woke from her daze. It wasn’t six years ago.
“What are you doing here?”
He observed as Ling Tianya’s expression started out dazed and relaxed, before morphing into a carefully controlled neutrality. He pinched his lips together, his heart burning with an indescribable pain, “Ling Tianya, I know you have your reasons for coming back to China. Use me as you please, I’m more than willing to be your blade.”
Ling Tianya paused, before laughing bitingly, “Ruan Zeyan, don’t you think it’s too late to be saying all this?”
“No.” Ruan Zeyan took out an invitation card, placing it before her, “Two days from now, the Yuan Teng Corporation is holding our annual dinner. I will prove to you that it’s not too late.”
Finishing, Ruan Zeyan’s face switched back to the same detachment that he had always had. He left without taking a single look back.
Du Gang stood at the door, seeing Ruan Zeyan’s constipated looking face as he came out. He sighed. “Ah, he didn’t successfully pacify his girlfriend.”
