Chapter 100: You Don’t Trust Me

In this battle, Ling Tianya admitted defeat once again. In stamina, she would never be Ruan Zeyan’s opponent.

She didn’t know how Ruan Zeyan was planning to torture her or humiliate her. She didn’t care either, it was not the first time it had happened anyway.

Even so, when she thought of the few days and nights on Hu Xin Island, Ling Tianya couldn’t help but shudder.

Right then, his arrogant, blood-seeking harsh bites had suddenly turned soft and lingering. Ruan Zeyan’s initial anger had turned to clinginess, his hand traveled gradually upwards from Ling Tianya’s waist, as though wanting to meld the woman into his own flesh. His kiss gradually deepened and deepened, until his hostility had completely vanished into thin air.

Ling Tianya grabbed onto Ruan Zeyan’s clothing, his back showing an arousing arching silhouette. Their height difference was absolutely perfect.

Neither of them knew how much time had passed before Ruan Zeyan unwillingly parted with Ling Tianya’s lips. Seeing her lips stained slightly with blood, he gently wiped it off for her with his thumb.

Ling Tianya turned her head away, away from the man’s hands. She wanted to back away yet was brought back by his firm hand.

“Let go of me…”

“I’ve lost.”

Ruan Zeyan’s words stunned Ling Tianya, her eyes clouded over, unfocused as she looked up at him. She couldn’t believe her ears, “What did you say?”

“You win, Ling Tianya.” Ruan Zeyan gazed at her, his gorgeous eyes twinkling with what seemed like stars, “I forgive you, come back to my side.”

Ling Tianya had always thought that Ruan Zeyan’s eyes were gorgeous, they were a pair of eyes that could bewitch a whole country. It was just that Ling Tianya wasn’t touched by the words of the owner of those eyes.

Using Ruan Zeyan’s own comments about her, perhaps she just didn’t know how to appreciate it.

“Ruan Zeyan, stop pulling the wool over our eyes.”

Ruan Zeyan glowered, “What?”

“You don’t trust me at all, and even now you say that you forgive me! Ruan Zeyan, have you ever thought, that I don’t need your forgiveness at all?!” Ling Tianya knew that saying that, she was just digging her own grave.

Unsurprisingly, Ruan Zeyan’s eyes turned cold, “Ling Tianya!”

“I have my own reasons for coming back to China, and there are many things I have to accomplish. Amongst all of it, Ruan Zeyan, you’re not a part of any of it.”

Ling Tianya focused on Ruan Zeyan’s furious eyes. Just a second ago they were as gentle as starlight, and yet they had become as cold as Antarctica’s ice.

Because of the long, arduous, and suffocating kiss, Ling Tianya’s breathing still hadn’t recovered fully. Her view started to spin, the pain assaulting her in waves before her sight blacked out, and she collapsed entirely.

By the time Ling Tianya woke again, she found herself in the hospital, the thick smell of bleach irritating her nose.

“Miss Ling, you’re awake!” Zhang Ke’s voice came from the side.

“How did I end up here?”

“I was writing my script at home, when I suddenly received Mr. Ruan’s assistant, Mr. Du’s phone call. He said that you’d fainted and that you were in the hospital, so I rushed over immediately.” Zhang Ke’s was curious as to why it was Du Gang that called, but she didn’t dare to ask.

“What does the doctor say?” Ling Tianya cradled her head, it still throbbed with pain.

“The doctor says you’re fine, it’s just that you were fatigued for some time. Coupled with being agitated, that’s why you blacked out and fainted. We just have to stay one night for observation.”

“Okay.” Ling Tianya closed her eyes again, isolating herself from the outside world.

In the dimly lit study, Ruan Zeyan held a photo in his hands.

Du Gang looked at it, he knew that this person was called Man Peng, the elder brother of Mandy on Hu Xin Island. Man Peng had been by Ruan Zeyan’s side since his youth. They had grown up together. Du Gang didn’t know exactly what happened six years ago, he only knew that to save Boss’ life, Man Peng had sacrificed himself. Even then his boss had still come home half-dead. After Man Peng’s death, that was when he had taken over Man Peng’s work and had started working for his boss.

Du Gang knew that in his lifetime, he could never fill up the hole that Man Peng had left in his boss’ heart. If his boss would ever be in life-threatening danger, he too would definitely give up his life for him without any hesitation.

“Is she alright?” Ruan Zeyan softly asked.

“The doctor says Miss Ling is alright. From her assistant’s words, I found out that Miss Ling seems to have migraines. It is a residual effect from a car accident in the past, so she can’t get too agitated nor fatigued.”

Du Gang thought that Miss Ling’s hospitalization was completely caused by his boss. The decision to change the script was made by him, and he’d also gone to cause a scene at Miss Ling’s.

“Car accident?” Ruan Zeyan’s brows pinched together. Even though she had said something so heartless to him earlier, he was still very much affected by her.

“Ruan Zeyan, you’ve been such a bastard!” he thought to himself.

Ruan Zeyan’s eyes dropped. He pulled open the drawer to put Man Peng’s picture into it but saw the thumb drive kept in the drawer.

Du Gang saw Ruan Zeyan spacing out at the thumb drive, and reminded him gently, “This thumb drive is from when I had gotten the information from Miss Ling’s private investigator, the content is the conversation between her step-mom and step-sister that Miss Ling had secretly recorded.”
