The car was driving on the highway. Inside, Ruan Zeyan picked up a work phone call and his face had returned to its usual measured coldness. The person on the other end of the call spoke extremely carefully, because Ruan Zeyan was always dead serious when it came to work.

Ling Tianya looked at his hand that was holding the phone. Wide palm with long slender fingers. It was a powerful hand, a hand that could determine life or death.

The Ling Family mansion was located in an upper-cla.s.s district, among other upscale mansions. Ling Taos neighbors were wealthy people with a similar net worth as him, who managed business of decent sizes and lived comfortable lives. They had made enough money to boss around service people wherever they went, but that was about the level of power they had, just enough to control their own fates. In contrast, Ruan Zeyan was someone who could control their fates with a twist of his hand. That was why Ling Tao didnt dare to address Ruan Zeyan directly by his name even though he was about to become his father-in-law.

On the other hand, Ling Tianya was becoming increasingly stressed. The longer she spent time with Ruan Zeyan, the less she understood him. She still couldnt figure out his ways to make her want to marry him. What she did know was that the man was true to his words. He would not have said that if he didnt already know he could do it. She was not feeling much else beyond the stress, because the worst-case scenario in her mind was getting roughed up by him again. She had been there before.

Noticing the womans gaze on him, Ruan Zeyan reached out his hand and touched Ling Tianyas face with his cool fingers which made her jerk back a bit. He smiled dotingly as he hung up the work call, Whats on your mind? You looked so focused.

What are you planning to do, really? Ling Tianya asked. It just occurred to her that the question she kept asking Ruan Zeyan was what he planned to do.

Ruan Zeyans fingers danced around Ling Tianyas face and he seemed to be in a great mood. Dont worry, I dont bite. Then he moved closer to her ear and whispered seductively, Even if I do bite, Im not going to do it here.

Ling Tianyas body s.h.i.+vered and she looked at him alertly.

In the restaurant, Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya were the only people dining. Looking at all the workers who were diligently serving the two of them, Ling Tianya felt a sense of indescribable disappointment. When she and Ruan Zeyan first started dating, she had no money and he was pretending to be a poor student. So, they would often go to some hole-in-the-wall diner and order one fried noodles to share. Things were sweet back then, so sweet... All Ling Tianya was thinking about back then was how to make more money to have a future of their own. Those were the days where everything was childish yet idealistic and pa.s.sionate...

When Ling Tianya pondered the past, a mesmerizing smile blossomed on her face. The waiter who was standing by with the wine bottle couldnt help but notice her smile. Then his eyes were met with Ruan Zeyans deadly stare, which scared him away.

You like this place? I can buy it for you. Ruan Zeyan interrupted Ling Tianyas reminiscence.

The smile disappeared from her face, What did you say?

Ruan Zeyan finished the gla.s.s of wine and looked mildly irritated.

Ruan Zeyan, lets cut to the chase. What are you using to threaten me? freReadNovelFull.com

Still in a weird mood, Ruan Zeyan took out his phone and found a photo. Then he placed the phone in front of Ling Tianya, looking straight at her and waiting for her to react.
