Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 414: Chapter 414 Don’t dream of keeping this young master out_1
 

Ruan Tianling’s chilly eyes stared at her, with a shadow of darkness flitting across the depths of his gaze.

Her proposal indicated she was still contemplating escape.

The fact that she now obediently stayed here was because she feared he would make things difficult for her family.

If he stopped harassing her family, she would have no worries, and could confidently flee.

Last time, he forced her to come back by threatening her family, as he hadn’t thought she would attempt to escape.

Since she had done it once, he would always be on guard so she couldn’t do it a second time.

It didn’t matter if he couldn’t use her family to restrain her, he had plenty of other methods.

“Alright, I promise,” Ruan Tianling nodded indifferently, very quickly.

Jian Yufei also nodded: “Remember what you said.”

She turned and continued upstairs, and sensing Ruan Tianling following her, she picked up on his intentions from his footsteps.

Jian Yufei walked at a leisurely pace with the man matching her steps from behind, also unhurried.

As Jian Yufei pushed open the door to her room intending to swiftly close it, Ruan Tianling braced the door with his hand, flashing her a wicked smile.

“I knew you’d try this.”

She couldn’t possibly lock him out.

Tonight, and every night henceforth, he would hold her while they slept.

“Ah, my stomach hurts so much!” Jian Yufei suddenly clutched her stomach and bent over, Ruan Tianling immediately changed his expression.

“What’s wrong?” He reached to support her, but as his hand touched her body, Jian Yufei forcefully pushed him away and while he was retreating echoed loudly a closing door, then locked it!

Well, did you expect that?

Jian Yufei smirked triumphantly before finally at ease to get her pajamas and prepare to comfortably take a bath, followed by sleep.

From outside the door, Ruan Tianling simultaneously felt frustrated and amused.

This woman had too many tricks up her sleeve.

However, he quite liked this teasing version of her better than her usual cold demeanour towards him.

Unconsciously, his lips lifted into a charming curl; hands gently stroking his chin, he chuckled as he walked downstairs.

Downstairs, a female servant suddenly caught his smiling face, immediately flushing red.

Master laughs so stunningly, ah, if only she were ten years younger, she’d surely sweep the master off his feet!

“Bring a ladder here for me,” Ruan Tianling ordered the daydreaming female servant.

As the female servant met his icy gaze, she was jerked from her pleasant fantasies back to harsh reality: “Yes, Master!”

While Jian Yufei was bathing, she sensed the noise from downstairs.

“Master, the ladder is here!”

“Set it up.”

“Alright…”

Jian Yufei turned off the shower, threw a robe hastily over herself and opened the door.

She walked to the balcony and saw two servants carefully leaning a ladder against it.

Downstairs, Ruan Tianling stood with one hand in his trouser pocket, oozing a regal aura. As he looked up, their eyes met.

Jian Yufei slightly furrowed her forehead. Was he planning to climb this ladder up?

Ruan Tianling’s lips curled into a roguish grin.

Woman, your guess is correct. I am indeed going to climb this ladder. Tonight, don’t you dare attempt shutting me out.

“Master, it’s ready.”

Ruan Tianling gripped the ladder single-handedly, ascending one rung at a time, while Jian Yufei observed him from her balcony, her expression impassive.

His gaze never strayed from her, the depth of his eyes held a fiery light, like a beast who had spotted its prey – focused, determined, and relentless.
