Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248 My Sister is Leaving Chapter 1248: Chapter 1248 My Sister is Leaving Jian Yufei held the cup tightly as she drank her tea, somewhat distracted.

She hadn’t expected to meet Ruan Tianling today, having thought that they would never see each other again in this lifetime…

In the largest VIP room on the first floor, Ruan Tianling too sat distantly in thought.

“You coming today really surprised me,” Li Mingchen sat next to him, smiling as he patted his shoulder.

Ruan Tianling curled his lips into a slight smile and said, “I had nothing else to do.”

“You wouldn’t have come even if you had nothing else to do in the past,” Li Mingchen said offhandedly.

Ruan Tianling slightly lowered his gaze.

He used to not attend anything because he had many things to do.

Initially, he was busy going on dates with various women… Later, he was busy going home to accompany Jian Yufei…

Now, apart from work, he had no interest in anything else.

Yet, he didn’t want to idle, desperately trying to find things to pass the time. Now, no matter how minor the matter, he would handle it himself.

It was all because he didn’t want to go back too soon, didn’t want to give himself a chance to entertain wild thoughts…

His visit here today was also just to pass the time… yet he hadn’t expected to run into Jian Yufei.

Thinking of her, Ruan Tianling’s eyes darkened coldly.

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank the wine in one gulp.

Seeing him like this, Li Mingchen patted his shoulder and said, “Do as you wish, I’ll go entertain the other guests.”

“Go ahead.”

Ruan Tianling lifted the bottle and poured himself another glass.

Just then, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open…

“Hello everyone, sorry I’m late,” Li Mingxi appeared at the doorway, smiling enchantingly as she greeted everyone inside.

The people inside warmly responded to her.

No matter where she went, Li Mingxi could always lighten and relax the atmosphere. Holding her glass, she made her way around before she finally noticed Ruan Tianling sitting in the corner.

“Am I seeing things? You’re actually here.”

She sat next to him and chuckled, “If I had known you were here, I would have brought Yufei in with me.”

Ruan Tianling glanced at her, remaining silent.

“Did you see her? Yufei is dining outside, right in the hall. When did you come in, did you see her?”

“…” Ruan Tianling stood up and was about to leave.

“Where are you going? To see Yufei?” Li Mingxi asked excitedly.

Ruan Tianling turned back and said indifferently, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Li Mingxi shrugged and continued to drink with everyone, holding her glass.

Although there was a restroom in the private room, it was rarely used under normal circumstances.

With many people, one restroom could easily become congested.

Ruan Tianling pulled open the door and went out, the air outside feeling much more comfortable.

He washed his hands in the restroom, and when he came out, his gaze involuntarily turned toward the direction leading to the hall…

He lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall in the corridor, smoking one after another…

“Brother-in-law?” Sun Hao, who came to use the restroom, saw him and exclaimed in delight.

Ruan Tianling lifted his gaze, slightly stunned.

“Um,” he responded quietly, having no idea how to converse with the young man in front of him.

Sun Hao then sheepishly said, “Sorry, I got used to calling that.”

“It’s okay,” Ruan Tianling replied indifferently.

Sun Hao smiled and walked towards the restroom.

…

When he came out, he found Ruan Tianling still standing there.

Hesitant, Sun Hao tentatively asked, “My sister is leaving, did you know?”

The calmness in the man’s dark eyes wavered slightly, “Leaving?”

“You didn’t know? Well, it’s none of your business anymore.”
