“Mr . Ruan, why did you come personally?” Mr . Wang, a man in his fifties, was currently groveling at the feet of someone that could be his son .
Ruan Zeyan's arrival caused the room to feel confining, heightening the pressure in the room . The men who were arrogant just moments ago, did not even dare to breathe harshly at that moment .
“I was just discussing some businesses here, and I heard that you were here too . I just took a short detour . ” Ruan Zeyan's deep voice rang as he strided over to the sofa and took a seat, glancing at all the people as though he was the king .
“Ah, we've only just started too…Oh right, this is TY, the screenwriter that had just come back from overseas . ” Mr . Wang tugged on Ling Tianya, introducing her to the other, “This is the Yuan Teng Corporation's CEO, Mr . Ruan Zeyan . He's also the investor for our drama . ”
Ling Tianya wanted to melt into the background, and yet, she was suddenly dragged out in front of Ruan Zeyan . His cold glare landed on her directly, rendering her uncomfortable and making her squirm .
“Hello,” the man before her stretched out his hand, his stare on Ling Tianya sharp .
“Good evening…” She bit her lip, hesitantly offering her own hand out . When their hands touched, Ling Tianya felt that his hand was extremely cold . The handshake was painful, to the point that Ling Tianya felt that her own hand was about to break .
Suddenly, Ruan Zeyan let go of her hand and stood up . “Continue on, I'll take leave,” he finished and left the room without pause .
Following his departure, the temperature in the room seemed to slowly go back to normal, and they all started to speak a little louder again .
Ling Tianya clenched her fists tight . Her face was pale and the cold sweat she had amassed still had not dissipated; she couldn't even stand firm on her own feet .
“Ms . Ling, are you alright?” Zhang Ke could see how distressed Ling Tianya looked, so she asked out of concern .
“My apologies, I'm not feeling too well . I'll be leaving too . For any other details in regards to the project, please discuss it with my assistant, Zhang Ke . ” Finishing that, she didn't wait for the people in the room to respond before she rushed out of the room .
Behind her came Zhang Ke and Mr . Wang's shouts, but Ling Tianya did not turn back . She just wanted to leave there as soon as possible before she got even more flustered .
Never in her dreams would she imagine that she would meet that man again after six years, much less would she think that they would meet under these circumstances .
Ling Tianya scrambled out of Liu Fei, but a Maybach outside of its doors stopped her . The back door was open, Ruan Zeyan's gaze harsh, as though he was a judge .
That gaze seemed to tell her, 'You can't escape . '
“Ms . Ling, my boss would like to invite you into the car . ” Du Gang politely stepped beside Ling Tianya, informing her .
Ling Tianya stumbled several steps back, “Ah- there's… there's no need . I drove here…”
She wanted to escape, but Du Gang took a step to block off her escape route . “Ms . Ling, my boss just wants to reminiscence about the past with you . It's better if you just agree to it . There are many people here, it wouldn't be good if I did something out of line to you here and now . ”
His words were obviously threatening, Ling Tianya was unable to reject at all . Ling Tianya stood before the car, as though the car was hell . She feared she couldn't get out once she'd gotten in .
“Please,” Du Gang insisted, as though it was the last request . Tianya gritted her teeth and got into Ruan Zeyan's car .
Du Gang shut the door loudly, visibly startling Ling Tianya who was already seated in the car .
Du Gang got into the driver's seat, looking back at Ling Tianya from the rear view mirror . She was the only woman, other than his boss's mom, that had been in the car . It couldn't help but pique his interest on who the woman was…
“Where would you like to go, Mr . Ruan?” Du Gang asked .
“Hu Xin Island . ” Ruan Zeyan didn't raise his head, instead he focused on the laptop resting on his knees .
