Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: Can You Appear Soon? Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: Can You Appear Soon? Because speaking up was pointless.

What she did for him in the past was genuine, without any hidden agendas; she should have realized that there was no possibility between them, and therefore she wouldn’t have had any expectations.

Even if she still desired to be with him, she shouldn’t have rejected him on the cruise ship.

Without a desire to be with him, she would not have said those hypothetical words trying to keep him…

In short, Jian Yufei had many contradictions.

She likely hid something from him.

…

Perhaps, her causing him to go to prison had a reason, or perhaps, their child… was still alive…

Ruan Tianling thought of the child’s unmarked grave!

Jian Yufei said that not engraving it made her feel as though the child was still alive, not dead.

At that time, he believed her words and didn’t think much about it.

But now, thinking about it, he sensed something was off.

If the child really was dead, how could she possibly not engrave their names on the gravestone!

They all died; would she not even give them a name?

The only explanation was that the child wasn’t dead, so the names weren’t engraved.

Engraving the name of someone not dead on a gravestone was a bad omen!

Thinking all this, Ruan Tianling grew intensely agitated.

He propped himself up excitedly, his eyes brimming with tears.

Yufei… everything was a lie, right?

You still love me, you didn’t betray me… and our child is also still alive…

Jian Yufei, you tell me, is it true, isn’t it?!

Ruan Tianling clenched his fists tightly, using great self-control to suppress the tumultuous emotions inside.

At this moment, he truly wished he could immediately find Jian Yufei and ask her to clarify everything!

…

Jian Yufei, could you please appear, I beg you, please show up!

Ruan Tianling breathed rapidly, desperately praying.

The door suddenly opened–
Light footsteps entered.

Ruan Tianling abruptly looked up, and upon seeing who it was, his eyes were instantly filled with overwhelming disappointment.

“Thought I was Jian Yufei?” Gong Mei slightly raised her eyebrows, instantly seeing through his thoughts.

Ruan Tianling pursed his lips and remained silent, dejectedly casting his eyes downward.

“I’ve heard about what happened to you guys; how could a cruise ship just explode like that?” Gong Mei stood at the foot of the bed and asked him.

Ruan Tianling looked outside the window and did not answer.

“I heard your child was gone a while back, and now this happened; can you tell me what exactly is going on between you two?”

“It’s fine, everything will be fine once I find her.”

“How long have you been looking for her? You still haven’t found her, are you sure you can still find her?”

“Of course!” Ruan Tianling’s eyes were cold, his tone very resolute, “I’ll find her, come hell or high water!”

Seeing him like this, Gong Mei didn’t know what more to say.

“I just got your news and rushed over. I really didn’t expect that after going through life and death together, so much more would happen. If I had known, I would have promised Yufei to my family’s Mr. Gong…”

Ruan Tianling suddenly turned to look at her, eyes sharp.

“Alright, I was just joking.” Gong Mei quickly surrendered.

“Would you like us to help look for her? The more people, the more help. After such a big incident, you should have contacted us earlier.”

“Thank you.” Ruan Tianling said indifferently, as if accepting her goodwill.

But he added: “Perhaps we can’t find her because she’s intentionally hiding from me.”

“What do you mean by that?” Gong Mei was puzzled.
