Chapter 220: Force-fed PDA

On the foot of the staircase to the second floor, Du Gang stood on guard.

In the lounge downstairs, in Ruan Zeyan’s office, the shareholders and company decision makers sat there, just staring at each other.

So, was the meeting still going to go on? The CEO had just gone up with a woman in his arms. He left without saying a word. They didn’t dare ask, nor did they dare to leave.

They were all powerful people, but their faces looked as though they’d been constipated for days.

Especially Ruan Guofu. He was worried for Ruan Lijia, but he was too afraid to leave. He was worried that Ruan Zeyan would hold his daughter hostage.

Time passed by the second and the shareholders started to complain.

“Women really are the bane of man’s existence! Who knew that our CEO would eventually fall into a woman’s seductive clutches?!”

“Right, I’ve never seen something like this before. It certainly opened my eyes to new facts today.”

“That woman must be someone incredible…”

“Hngh!” Run Guofu snuffed, “No matter how incredible she is, she’s just from a small family. She isn’t someone that’s worthy of our big family!”

“Guofu, shut up, haven’t you learned your lesson yet?” A deep voice cut through the air. Its owner seemed to be a smart and sharp man. His expression was calm and collected, as though he wasn’t affected by things at all.

“But brother, Ruan Zeyan…”

The man shot Ruan Guofu a warning look. “You dare call the CEO by his name? This is the company, not your home”

Ruan Guofu shut his mouth up unwillingly at the lecture. The man that lectured him was no other than Ruan Guofu’s second brother, Ruan Guosheng. He was a son born to Ruan Zeyan’s grandfather’s second wife, just like him.

Ruan Guosheng raised his head, his sharp eyes looking in the general direction of the second floor. There was a glint shining in his eyes.

Not too long later, a pair of footsteps came from the stairs – Ruan Zeyan was walking down alone, wearing an aura of coldness like a cloak. As though nothing had happened minutes ago, the man still maintained his cold and detached look, seating in his seat with the arrogance of a king.

“Continue.”

Ruan Guosheng’s eyes shone. He continued with the topic that was left hanging in the air earlier. “This time, on Country E’s side…”

Ruan Zeyan adjourned the meeting early on grounds that Ling Tianya was there.

In the car, Ling Tianya’s was filled with worry. She reached out to touch Ruan Zeyan’s forehead as a test, and unsurprisingly, he was burning up.

“So, you know that you just got discharged and that your body is weak, why did you have to take a cold shower?”

Ruan Zeyan could only sigh internally. If he didn’t take a cold shower, how can he douse out the fire?

He grabbed Ling Tianya’s hand that was still on his forehead, bringing it down to his lips for a kiss. “Who said I’m weak? If you want it, I can give it to you now.”

Ling Tianya rolled her eyes dramatically, wanting to take back her hand. “You’re running a fever, and yet you’re still in the mood to joke?”

The man held onto her hand even tighter, looking at her deeply. The neon lights outside the car highlighted his perfectly sculpted face, making it look as though it was all a dream.

“Who said I was joking?” Ruan Zeyan’s eyes deepened in seriousness. “I mean every single word I say to you.”

Ling Tianya was stunned, her heart skipped a beat.

Du Gang, driving in the front seat, actually wanted to cry. Ever since Miss Ling had started to open her heart to his boss, he had to suffer through their PDA every single day. As a seasoned single, Du Gang had protested countless times in his heart, but it was as useful as punching a cloud in reality…

In the blink of an eye, the sky had darkened. Ruan Guofu’s mansion lights were still bright. Ruan Lijia laid on her pink princess bed. She was crying her heart out with her face in her hands.

There were many bandages on Ruan Lijia and her face was scuffed full of injuries too. Her previously beautiful and petite face was swollen and ugly.

Ruan Guofu stood by her bedside gloomily. His eyes were filled with hate.

Ruan Guofu’s wife cried with how badly her daughter was hurt, complaining, “You’re so useless! How could you just watch as our daughter was bullied? That woman is so mean to us even before she has married into the family, she’ll certainly have our lives after she’s a Ruan!”

Ruan Guofu and his wife weren’t able to conceive, so Ruan Lijia was a daughter of his wife’s sister. When she was born, she was adopted by Ruan Guofu and treated as the pearl in their palm.

Thinking about the humiliation that they had felt that day, Ruan Guofu found it hard to quell the anger in his heart. “Don’t worry, I won’t leave it like that!”
