Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: What Secret to Tell Ruan Tianling? Chapter 1242: Chapter 1242: What Secret to Tell Ruan Tianling? Hearing the name Jian Yufei, Ruan Tianling’s eyes distinctly grew colder.

Liu Qianqian continued speaking, “You married her, and I bless you for that… From the beginning to the end, no matter who you were with, I never once disrupted your relationship. I know it’s impossible between you and me, but I always harbored a little wish, hoping that one day heaven would give me a chance, a chance to strive to get closer to you. My approaching you this time, it must have troubled you, hasn’t it… I’m sorry, I won’t do it again… But I want to say, no matter what, you will always be the Brother Ruan I like the most in my heart…”

Her words were not particularly moving, yet they were very sincere.

Jian Yufei’s eyes flickered; she suddenly felt that Liu Qianqian was a very kind girl, different from Yan Yue and Xu Man.

It was precisely because of her sincerity and kindness that she felt even more uneasy.

She too had become a bad woman; she could no longer compare to an innocent woman like Liu Qianqian.

She feared immensely that Ruan Tianling would be moved by her, would come to like her, and thereby grow to detest her…

Hadn’t Yan Yue, because of the many bad things she had done, ended up being detested by Ruan Tianling?

Would she become the second Yan Yue, end up so pitiful?

The more Jian Yufei thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She clenched her fist tightly, unable to do anything but try to calm herself down.

…

In the bedroom.

Ruan Tianling looked at Liu Qianqian with his deep-set eyes, “Indeed, you’ve never troubled me, you’re not like the others, but still, I cannot accept you.”

“I know,” Liu Qianqian bowed her head, her expression a bit desolate, “Brother Ruan, do you hate me?”

“I don’t,” Ruan Tianling said indifferently.

Liu Qianqian immediately showed a joyful smile, “That’s good then, it doesn’t matter if you don’t like me, I was just afraid you hated me.”

“Go back,” Ruan Tianling softened his tone but his voice remained cold.

“Okay, I’m going back, you rest well,” Liu Qianqian stood up and took a few steps, then turned back to say, “Oh, there’s something I’ve kept from you, something that may have troubled you for a long time. I think it’s time to tell you the truth.”

“What is it?” Ruan Tianling asked curiously.

Liu Qianqian glanced at the door, “Can I close the door to talk?”

Ruan Tianling narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I don’t want others to know, I originally didn’t plan to let you know… but I don’t want to keep hiding it from you.”

“Go close it,” Ruan Tianling said without hesitation.

Liu Qianqian smiled and went to close the door, while Jian Yufei hastily ran to hide around the corner.

Liu Qianqian peeked her head out, looking left and right, before finally closing the door.

Jian Yufei walked out puzzled, what secret did she have to tell Ruan Tianling?

Why couldn’t it be known to others?

She approached the door to eavesdrop, yet she couldn’t hear anything.

…

After Liu Qianqian closed the door, she stayed inside for quite a while before coming out.

As she opened the door and saw Jian Yufei standing outside, she was somewhat surprised.

“Hello,” she greeted Jian Yufei with a faint smile.

“Hello,” Jian Yufei responded without a smile, unable to muster one.

Liu Qianqian said no more and walked away.

Watching her figure disappear at the stairwell, Jian Yufei collected her emotions and walked into the room.

“Get out!”

She had just stepped in when she heard Ruan Tianling’s icy reprimand.

Jian Yufei’s steps halted.

The man lying in the bed had a bandage wrapped around his forehead; he leaned against the headboard, his eyes dark and piercing as they fixed on her.
