The car was driving on the highway . Inside, Ruan Zeyan picked up a work phone call and his face had returned to its usual measured coldness . The person on the other end of the call spoke extremely carefully, because Ruan Zeyan was always dead serious when it came to work .
Ling Tianya looked at his hand that was holding the phone . Wide palm with long slender fingers . It was a powerful hand, a hand that could determine life or death .
The Ling Family mansion was located in an upper-class district, among other upscale mansions . Ling Tao's neighbors were wealthy people with a similar net worth as him, who managed business of decent sizes and lived comfortable lives . They had made enough money to boss around service people wherever they went, but that was about the level of power they had, just enough to control their own fates . In contrast, Ruan Zeyan was someone who could control their fates with a twist of his hand . That was why Ling Tao didn't dare to address Ruan Zeyan directly by his name even though he was about to become his father-in-law .
On the other hand, Ling Tianya was becoming increasingly stressed . The longer she spent time with Ruan Zeyan, the less she understood him . She still couldn't figure out 'his ways' to make her want to marry him . What she did know was that the man was true to his words . He would not have said that if he didn't already know he could do it . She was not feeling much else beyond the stress, because the worst-case scenario in her mind was getting roughed up by him again . She had been there before .
Noticing the woman's gaze on him, Ruan Zeyan reached out his hand and touched Ling Tianya's face with his cool fingers which made her jerk back a bit . He smiled dotingly as he hung up the work call, “What's on your mind? You looked so focused . ”
“What are you planning to do, really?” Ling Tianya asked . It just occurred to her that the question she kept asking Ruan Zeyan was what he planned to do .
Ruan Zeyan's fingers danced around Ling Tianya's face and he seemed to be in a great mood . “Don't worry, I don't bite . ” Then he moved closer to her ear and whispered seductively, “Even if I do bite, I'm not going to do it here . ”
Ling Tianya's body shivered and she looked at him alertly .
In the restaurant, Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya were the only people dining . Looking at all the workers who were diligently serving the two of them, Ling Tianya felt a sense of indescribable disappointment . When she and Ruan Zeyan first started dating, she had no money and he was pretending to be a poor student . So, they would often go to some hole-in-the-wall diner and order one fried noodles to share . Things were sweet back then, so sweet… All Ling Tianya was thinking about back then was how to make more money to have a future of their own . Those were the days where everything was childish yet idealistic and passionate…
When Ling Tianya pondered the past, a mesmerizing smile blossomed on her face . The waiter who was standing by with the wine bottle couldn't help but notice her smile . Then his eyes were met with Ruan Zeyan's deadly stare, which scared him away .
“You like this place? I can buy it for you . ” Ruan Zeyan interrupted Ling Tianya's reminiscence .
The smile disappeared from her face, “What did you say?”
Ruan Zeyan finished the glass of wine and looked mildly irritated .
“Ruan Zeyan, let's cut to the chase . What are you using to threaten me?”
Still in a weird mood, Ruan Zeyan took out his phone and found a photo . Then he placed the phone in front of Ling Tianya, looking straight at her and waiting for her to react .
