Chapter 805: Meeting Again
Although she was not related to Ling Tao by blood, he was still Ling Tianya’s father in her heart.
Xiao Hong had given birth to a son in January. Ling Tao would finally have a healthy child, a healthy child of his own.
Madame Ling named the child Ling Tianci. In her eyes, he was a gift to the Ling family from the heavens. She hoped for peace and happiness for the child and for the heavenly gods to look after this child.
Now that she had a grandson, Madame Ling’s temperament had changed dramatically. She wasn’t as mean as before, and she surrounded Ling Tianci with love and care.
At the hospital, Madame Ling was not agitated to see Ling Tianya there. She sat in the corner with a cold expression. She only seemed to move whenever Ling Tianci cried or made any sounds.
Xiao Hong was much more sensitive than Madame Ling. She would never count on the heavenly gods to take care of her son. The only person she could rely on in the future was Tianya. Her son would have to rely on Tianya Sister.
Ling Tianya was still concerned about Ling Tao and the Ling family, and it proved that she still considered herself to be part of the family. She assumed that Ling Tianya would consider Tianci as her own brother.
Ling Tianci’s path would only be blessed if Ling Tianya was willing to acknowledge him as her brother.
They were Xiao Hong’s thoughts, so she was even kinder and friendlier to Ling Tianya than before.
Ling Tianya knew what Xiao Hong was thinking about, and she could understand her intentions from the perspective of a mother. Regardless of everything, she would treat the mother and son kindly solely based on Xiao Hong’s loyalty to Ling Tao.
Soon, the New Year celebrations had passed and things were back to the mundane routine.
Ruan Zeyan was as busy as usual and Ling Tianya could tell that he was preoccupied even though he didn’t mention anything to her. She had been able to sense his anxieties for a long while now.
After the fifteenth day of the new year, it was March and the weather was turning warmer.
Ling Tianya had finally recovered after delivering her baby. A few days ago, Madame Ruan had pulled her aside and had a little chat with her.
“Ling girl, your body has recovered now, so you don’t have to reject my grandson anymore.”
After hearing her words, Ling Tianya had blushed bright red. This grandma was surely forward!
Before Ruan Zeyan left for work that day, he had told her that he was going to take her somewhere that afternoon and asked her to keep her afternoon free.
At one o’clock, Ruan Zeyan had come home to pick her up.
“Where are we going?” Ling Tianya had asked when she got into the car.
“I’m taking you to meet someone.” Ruan Zeyan’s voice was deep, and he sounded reserved and concerned.
Ling Tianya felt uneasy when she heard the tone of his voice.
Ruan Zeyan took her to a private office. A middle-aged man was sitting inside waiting for them.
Ling Tianya knew this man. She had seen him before at the hospital.
“Hello, Mr. Ruan, Mrs. Ruan.” The man stood up and greeted Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya. “Please take a seat.”
Ruan Zeyan put his arm around Ling Tianya’s waist as they both sat down opposite the middle-aged man. A female secretary walked in and placed two glasses of water in front of them.
Ling Tianya looked at the glass and back at the man again. “I’ve met you at the hospital, haven’t I?”
She remembered that she was at the hospital for her obstetrics check-up with Xiao Hong when Ruan Zeyan showed up. He had asked Xiao Hong to head home first, and he had taken her to meet this man. Back then, Ruan Zeyan had introduced him as his friend and set it up as a coincidental meeting at the hospital.
She always had a feeling that this man was not Ruan Zeyan’s friend as he had claimed.
The middle-aged man was stunned and he smiled. “Mrs. Ruan sure has a good memory. We did actually meet once at the hospital.”
