Chapter 413: Going back to the Ruan Family Old House_1
“It’s likely to rain again tomorrow, the road will be slippery. It might be better if we go out the day after tomorrow.”
Jian Yufei nodded her head, she didn’t care. She just wanted to go out for a walk and not feel trapped here.
Ruan Tianling was working in his study until late evening when he came down to find Jian Yufei still sitting in the living room reading. He went over to tell her that they were going to Ruan Family’s ancestral house the next day, and she would be joining him.
Jian Yufei asked perplexedly, “Why do I have to go too?”
“Because Grandfather wants you to come.”
“I’m not going.” She had left that place once and never wanted to go back.
“You won’t go back even if Grandfather asks you?” Ruan Tianling sat down beside her, his thin lips curling slightly as he asked her with a smile.
“I am not related to the Ruan Family at all. You can go back yourself if you want to, it has nothing to do with me.” Jian Yufei’s tone was indifferent, she had completely disassociated herself from the Ruan Family.
Ruan Tianling suddenly reached out his hand to touch her belly, a smirk on his face. “He should be related to the Ruan Family. Since he is a part of the Ruan family, he should come along.”
Jian Yufei pulled his hand away coldly and stood up with her book, “Stop making requests in the name of the child. Until the child is born, they only belong to me. Right now, he and I are one, what I say goes.”
Ruan Tianling stopped smiling and looked at her with deep, dark eyes.
“Jian Yufei, I remember you once told me that your child would just be a bastard. Now, an opportunity is in front of you that can prevent our child from being a bastard. Will you seize this opportunity?”
Was he referring to the possibility of them getting back together?
Jian Yufei had never considered getting back together with him. Call her selfish, ungrateful, it didn’t matter.
No matter what, she would not get back together with Ruan Tianling. Even if she had to raise the child alone and couldn’t provide a complete family for him, she would not remarry Tianling.
She responded to him with a graceful smile, “You seem to view this as a great opportunity. But for me, it is merely a chance to hurl me back into the abyss. Do you think I would make that choice?”
Tianling’s lips thinned into a line at her words, his gaze turning icy.
As Jian Yufei proceeded to go upstairs, his voice rang out again.
“What will it take for you to return to the ancestral house tomorrow?”
Why was he so insistent that she goes back?
Stopping in her tracks, Jian Yufei turned to look at him, “Is tomorrow a significant day?”
“No.”
“Then why do you want me to go?”
The man casually mentioned, “Because I need you to visit once – you wouldn’t go back otherwise, would you?”
True, even if he asked her to go back a thousand times, she would not agree. He was simply using a condition to attempt to negotiate with her.
Jian Yufei thought for a moment and said, “I will go back with you, but that doesn’t mean anything. I would not agree to remarry you, but you will have to agree to a condition of mine.”
“I agree to the first part, but your condition must be within my acceptance.” Ruan Tianling responded with a smile on his lips, his posture relaxed, adopting the attitude of a savvy businessman.
Jian Yufei didn’t dare to hope that he would agree to let her go.
She said, “My condition is not too much to ask. I only hope you will stop troubling my family. No matter what happens, you cannot harass them. Of course, if they do something wrong themselves, the police will handle it – there is no need for you to step in.”
