Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 140: 140: Still Afraid of His Gaze_1

She thought, the jealousy he had shown just now must have been her imagination.

“I’ve already ordered, and I’ve ordered for you too. Is that okay?” She handed him the menu. Receiving it, Ruan Tianling passed it on to the waiter without even glancing at it.

“You’ve ordered all my favorites.” The man said with undeniable affection, illuminating Yan Yue’s face with an even more radiant smile.

She was in a good mood at the moment, so, she could afford to put off plotting against Jian Yufei for now.

Today must be her lucky day; she would let her off this once.

Jian Yufei and Xiao Lang left the restaurant before Ruan Tianling. They were there just for a meal and camaraderie. They were not like Yan Yue and Ruan Tianling, whose romantic dinner prolonged for over an hour.

However, not long after Yufei left, the pair also left the restaurant.

Ruan Tianling told Yan Yue he had some matters to deal with today, so he would drop her home first.

After dropping Yan Yue at her place, he started his car, took out his cell phone, and dialed Jian Yufei’s number.

“Come right now; I’m waiting at People’s Square. Remember, you have only half an hour. If you don’t show up, you’ll face the consequences.”

After the dismissive hang-up, the man’s left elbow rested on the car window, his hand covering his mouth, his seductive eyes squinting slightly with a touch of lazy danger, just like a cheetah waiting for the perfect hunting opportunity.

When Jian Yufei received the call from Ruan Tianling, she was in a bookstore. She had planned to buy a few accounting books for her study review.

But after answering the call, she lost interest in everything else.

In the end, she picked out only two books, paid for them, and left the store with them.

She went to People’s Square; there was no point in upsetting him now.

Besides, she didn’t want to give him any more excuses to hurt her.

When Jian Yufei arrived at the square, she saw Ruan Tianling’s car parked not far away. He was leaning against the car, his arms propped up behind it, his suit jacket open, his ragged hair exuding as much rebellion as his persona.

The man’s thin gaze pierced through the passersby and directly locked onto her eyes.

Hit by his gaze, Jian Yufei didn’t dare to move forward.

Having lived through two lifetimes, she was still fearful of his eyes. She thought that even if she lived another lifetime, she wouldn’t be able to match his piercing gaze, which seemed to see right through people.

“What do you want from me?” She asked him dispassionately as she slowly approached him.

Ruan Tianling lifted his gaze, straightened up and simply said, “Get in the car.”

He dropped just two words, without an extra sentence. Jian Yufei pulled open the car door herself and got in, wondering why he wasn’t with Yan Yue.

The man started the car, and she asked him, “Where are we going?”

“You’ll know when we get there.” Ruan Tianling’s tone was indifferent. Every time he was like this, Jian Yufei felt a sense of dread.

What had she done to upset him this time?

Not wanting to be hurt by him again, she boldly challenged him, “Was it you who ensured I couldn’t find a job? Did you command all the companies to not hire me?”

The man glanced at her, his lips twitching into a slight smirk. He neither confirmed nor denied.

“Ruan Tianling, you’re despicable!” Jian Yufei retorted indignantly, to which the latter remained indifferent.

The more he remained silent, the more nervous she became.
