Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: That Look in His Eyes Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: That Look in His Eyes Her words struck a painful chord in Jian Yufei’s heart.

Jian Yufei said uncomfortably, “As long as you don’t interfere, that will be fine.”

“Don’t think so lowly of our Nangong Family; we generally don’t force people into difficult situations.”

“Heh, you’ve been forcing me all the time,” Jian Yufei said sarcastically.

“That’s because you have a special identity. If the boss had known about your existence sooner, he definitely wouldn’t have let you marry Ruan Tianling. He could casually pick any other man for you, and it would be better than Ruan Tianling.”

Jian Yufei did not want to listen to her, “If you’re not going to force me, then from now on, no matter what I do, just stay out of it.”

Mi Sha shrugged, “Of course, I won’t interfere, unless it threatens your life.”

*******************
Evening arrived quickly.

Jian Yufei thought about what Ruan Tianling had said, hesitating whether or not to go to him.

In the end, she chose to go.

Since her car was sold, she could only take a taxi to Royal Garden.

When she arrived at Ruan Tianling’s villa, it was already seven in the evening.

“Miss Jian, the young master has not returned yet; you can wait for a while,” the butler told her.

Jian Yufei nodded and sat on the sofa in the living room to wait for him.

…

She waited three hours before Ruan Tianling returned.

He smelt of alcohol. Since they had fallen in love, he had never come home smelling of alcohol.

But now, she noticed, he was always drinking, and had nearly had a car accident twice because he was drunk.

Seeing him come in, Jian Yufei stood up, pressing her lips together, silent.

Ruan Tianling’s cool gaze swept over her as he unbuttoned a few buttons of his shirt, revealing his bronzed chest.

There was no surprise on his face at her obedient arrival.

He knew she would come, and even if she didn’t, he had ways to make her come.

“Ruan Tianling, we need to talk,” Jian Yufei was the first to speak.

Ruan Tianling’s lips curved with a mischievous smile, “We can talk, but let’s do it in the bedroom.”

After saying this, he walked towards the stairs, his intention clear without saying it aloud.

“Let’s talk here,” Jian Yufei said lightly.

The man turned his head as he leaned on the railing, his cold, black eyes devoid of emotion, “Are you coming up yourself, or do I need to have someone carry you up?”

“…”

Jian Yufei said nothing more, and followed him upstairs.

Her heartbeat quickened a bit. Was he really going to do that to her?

The Ruan Tianling of the past might have forced her, but the Ruan Tianling of now, even though he might hate her, she didn’t believe he would force her.

She just trusted him so much; it was a strange kind of feeling…

Jian Yufei followed him upstairs and into his bedroom.

Ruan Tianling turned around, his black eyes deeply fixating on her own.

Jian Yufei’s heart fluttered, she was so familiar with that look… so intense, so focused…

Every time he looked at her like that, she couldn’t help but have her heartbeat quicken.

Ruan Tianling’s lips held a faint smile as he took a step closer to her; Jian Yufei involuntarily stepped back.

His fiery, bare gaze seemed to strip her clothes off.

“You…” Jian Yufei asked nervously, clenching her fists, “What exactly do you want to do?”

Ruan Tianling slightly raised his hand. Jian Yufei thought he was going to touch her and subconsciously dodged.

The man’s hand only grasped the door.

He stepped forward, slowly closing the door; with Jian Yufei standing between him and the door, she had no choice but to step back with him.

Soon the door closed behind her, her back pressing against it…
