Fated to My Billionaire Husband

At that moment, she was the first person to look over.

“Oh, what’s wrong with Miss Yan’s face?” She exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with something akin to horror.

Her look stirred something within Yan Yue. She quickly turned to Ruan Tianling, asking anxiously, “What’s wrong with me?”

Ruan Tianling narrowed his sharp eyes and abruptly stood up and demanded, “What did you make this soup with?!”

Thinking that Miss Yan had been poisoned, the maid hurriedly explained, “Young master, the soup is made from shrimp, which is fresh, there shouldn’t be any problem…ah, could Miss Yan be allergic to seafood?”

It was common knowledge that fresh seafood could easily trigger an allergic reaction. Hence many people ate seafood only after it had been properly processed.

Yan Yue quickly realized what was happening. She covered her face, refusing to let anyone see her in this horrifying state.

“Tianling, take me to the hospital quickly. I don’t want to stay here, just take me away!” She screamed, her usual composure gone.

“Don’t be scared, I’ll take you to the doctor right away.” Ruan Tianling lifted her and hurriedly ran outside.

Ruan’s mother looked worried at their departing figures, then she turned back and harshly told the maid, “You don’t need to come to work tomorrow!”

“Madam!” The maid’s complexion changed drastically.

“Mom.” Jian Yufei stood up in defense of the maid, “I asked her to make this soup. Tianling likes shrimp balls, so I had her make this pearl soup with shrimps. It’s not her fault, it’s all my fault. I didn’t know Yan Yue would be allergic to seafood.”

Jian Yufei spoke truthfully.

She did order the kitchen to make that soup for Ruan Tianling, who does indeed enjoy it. Since she had only just met Yan Yue, she genuinely didn’t know about Yan Yue’s seafood allergy.

In any case, it was just a coincidence, and Yan Yue was just unlucky.

“What Yufei said is correct. She didn’t know that Yan Yue was allergic to seafood. If even I didn’t know, how could she?” When Ruan Anguo spoke up in defense of her, Ruan’s mother found it harder to scold her.

She put down her chopsticks and said indifferently, “I’m full, dad, you take your time.”

After Ruan’s mother left, Jian Yufei carefully sat down, anxiously asking her grandfather, “Grandfather, will Miss Yan’s condition be serious?”

“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine. And don’t blame yourself; it’s not your fault.”

Jian Yufei dropped her gaze in guilt; in truth, she had done it on purpose.

In her past life, she knew Yan Yue was allergic to seafood, and that’s why she did this to her. She disliked her, she couldn’t stand her. So, she wanted to set her up.

But facing her grandfather’s unconditional trust and affection, she felt so ashamed.

She wondered if she was being too malicious. Even if she disliked Yan Yue, she shouldn’t treat her this way. They might be bad to her, mistreat her, but she should not become a calculating and scheming woman.

“Grandfather, I’m sorry.” Jian Yufei left these words behind, her face flushed with embarrassment, and then she couldn’t bear to stay any longer.

She got up quickly and went upstairs to her room, still feeling a deep sense of shame.

If her grandfather knew that she had done it on purpose, he would be so disappointed in her…

Jian Yufei, oh, Jian Yufei, you were too impulsive today. You must never do this again.

Jian Yufei thoroughly chastised herself but decided not to harp on it any further. In any case, she wouldn’t do the same thing again. And having done it, she wasn’t going to feign concern for Yan Yue.

That night, Ruan Tianling didn’t come back home.
