Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Only Booked One Room_1
Ruan Tianling looked at her, suspecting her departure was not as simple as it seemed.
He squinted his eyes, asserting with an unyielding zeal, “If you don’t want someone else to go with you, it’s fine, but I must go with you. And don’t threaten me with the child. Without this child, you know what will happen.”
Jian Yufei’s face turned pale. She clutched the armrest, taking a long while before finally speaking with difficulty, “Alright, if you want to come, then come. As long as your Yan Yue doesn’t object.”
“I’ll pick you up tomorrow, to go to H City.” Ruan Tianling pursed his lips, and after delivering his statement conclusively, he turned around and left within just a few minutes.
Jian Yufei watched his departing figure, releasing a sigh of relief.
She had made several plans. The best scenario would be if he agreed to let her leave alone. The worst scenario was him going with her – as long as he was the only one accompanying her, she had the means to escape.
Her greatest fear was him sending several people to go with her. She knew how to handle one person, but she had no way to deal with multiple people at the same time.
Early the next day, Ruan Tianling came to pick her up.
Yufei’s luggage was packed since yesterday. The aunt named Li helped her to load her suitcase into the trunk, uttered a few words of advice, and then closed the car door for her.
Ruan Tianling ordered the driver to start the car, heading towards the airport.
Jian Yufei sat by the window, her gaze fixed outside. She was not accustomed to being alone with Ruan Tianling. Being with him, she found it so maddening that she didn’t even want to utter a single word.
Ruan Tianling glanced at her while trying to initiate a conversation, “How many days are you planning to stay?”
“Depends on my mood.” Responded Jian Yufei leisurely.
The man nodded before concentrating back on his own thoughts, “It can’t be more than a week.”
She didn’t say anything. As long as she left A City, where he wielded power, she would be able to escape at ease. She didn’t believe he could have the same dominance over H City.
Once they boarded the plane, they arrived in H City by noon.
H City was a seaside tourist destination, with summer all year round. They had flown from A City, still dressed in thick clothes.
Upon exiting the airport, a hotel vehicle, arranged in advance, came to pick them up. After letting them clean up and change clothes at the hotel and have something to eat, they were ready to explore H City.
Ruan Tianling had only booked one room. Jian Yufei protested as soon as she found out, but unfortunately, her protest was ineffective.
The man tugged her into the room; he placed down the luggage and started rummaging through her suitcase for clothes.
“You go shower first. I’ll order dinner.” He instructed.
Jian Yufei grabbed her suitcase out of his hands and placed it on the couch, not letting him touch it.
“Why did you only book one room?” she asked while unzipping her suitcase, “What does us staying in the same room mean? Don’t forget, I have no relation to you.”
“A single room is all we can afford.” Ruan Tianling dropped a remark and took his own clothes into the shower.
He could not tell her that booking one room was because he was worried about her, afraid of her stumbling, or feeling unwell in the middle of the night. This was his first time becoming a father, and he didn’t know what he should do to be a good one.
He’d heard that the fetus can be very unstable during early pregnancy and easily lead to miscarriage. This child cannot miscarry, so he needs to keep an eye on her all the time to avoid any accidents.
Subconsciously, he knew this child was very important to him.
As to why it was important, the reason he gave himself was, how could his child not be important?
