Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Having heard what she said, Ruan Tianling more or less understood what had happened.

He narrowed his dark sharp eyes, his voice coldly questioning, “You’re saying someone drugged my soup with sleeping pills?”

“Yes!” Yan Yue confirmed emphatically.

“When you came to see me, was I the only one in the hotel room?”

“Yes, it was just you. There were no signs of anyone else. The hotel staff have reviewed the surveillance footage. They just called me to tell me that last night, a woman carrying a suitcase and wearing a hat and sunglasses was seen leaving your room. Tianling, who is she? Do you know her?”

Ha, who else would that woman be, if not Jian Yufei?

Ruan Tianling closed his eyes. His thin lips pressed into a firm line, and he felt weak all over, too weak even to clench his fists.

He was straining himself, using all his self-control to suppress his raging anger.

He recalled what Jian Yufei had said to him in the elevator the day before.

[“Ruan Tianling, wouldn’t it be great if you were dead? That way, you wouldn’t harm others.”]

[“You want me dead?”]

[“Yes!”]

[“Then why don’t you kill me yourself?”]

She indeed tried to kill him!

Jian Yufei, do you hate me so much that you’d even want to kill me yourself?!

After all the trust I put in you, I genuinely thought you were just in a bad mood, so I brought you out to take your mind off things.

I even thought about making things right, for you and our child, when we returned.

But this is how you repay me!

Ruan Tianling’s heart felt as though it’d been poisoned, throbbing with intense pain, as if he’d rather be dead.

He bit his teeth so hard he almost broke them.

After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze cold, sharp, and brooding.

He sat up and coldly asked Yan Yue, “Where’s my phone?”

“Here,” Yan Yue hurried to hand him his phone. She felt a bit afraid of him for some reason.

He seemed dangerous, like a beast poised to sever the throat of its prey.

Ruan Tianling stared down, expressionless, as he dialed Jian Yufei’s number, only to find out she had turned off her phone.

His lips curved into a cold smile before he dialed another number.

“Find me someone, Jian Yufei, find her without sparing any costs! Once you find her, bring her to me safely, no mistakes allowed!”

Yan Yue’s heart skipped a beat, she clenched her teeth so hard that her lip bled and tears welled up in her eyes.

Ruan Tianling hung up the call, then looked at her. She met his gaze head-on, but could no longer hold back her tears, which slid down her rosy cheeks.

“Tianling, the woman with you was Jian Yufei, and she’s the one who drugged you, didn’t she?”

“…”

“Why were you with her in the first place, and why do you still care about her safety even when she’s trying to kill you? Tianling, are you…are you in love with her?” Yan Yue asked him hesitantly, choking on her words in anguish.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with unease and trepidation, fearful of receiving an affirmative answer from him.

Ruan Tianling’s deep gaze was devoid of any emotion. “It’s not what you think,” he said.
