Chapter 151 - Everything Is Negotiable, Except Her (1)
Ling Tianya looked at the man’s hand and asked an untimely question, “When will you let me see Tianxin?”
Ruan Zeyan tightened his brows and was slightly frustrated. “Ling Tianya, you really are not cute.” Looking at Ling Tianya’s stubborn eyes, he finally sighed and said, “Ling Tianxin can’t have people visit her right now. Trust me, she is safe. I will arrange for you two to meet at the right time.”
“What is the right time?”
“When you marry me and become Mrs. Ruan.”
Ling Tianya felt her chest tighten. The feeling of being forced to get married was not so great. She was reassured about Ling Tianxin’s current situation at least. She believed that Ruan Zeyan would not lie to her, so Ling Tianxin must be safe.
“When is the wedding?” Ling Tianya asked directly. Her voice had no sweetness from a woman who actually wanted to get married. That urgent look on her face, Ruan Zeyan knew, was not because of him. It was because of Ling Tianxin.
Ruan Zeyan felt a little let down by Ling Tianya, but then he looked at the woman opposite from him and said seductively, “Of course, the sooner the better.”
The man’s eyes were glowing and Ling Tianya could not help but shudder.
Inside the restaurant, people’s faces were lit up nicely by a warm light. Ruan Zeyan took out a delicate and beautiful jewelry box, the diamonds on the outer edge of the box alone could cost a fortune.
Ling Tianya looked at Ruan Zeyan and the box in his hand, stunned. Before she was able to respond, the box was opened. Ling Tianya felt a giant flash in front of her eyes. She closed her eyes, then opened them again. She saw the sparkling diamond ring resting inside the box.
The ring was made of one precisely cut diamond in the size of a pigeon egg, surrounded by several smaller diamonds. In an instant, the entire restaurant was lit up by the diamond ring, because its reflection was just too dazzling.
Ruan Zeyan got up and walked toward Ling Tianya. Taking the woman’s soft hand, he put the diamond ring on her finger slowly. Against the backdrop of the diamond ring, Ling Tianya’s porcelain skin appeared even more translucent. It was hard for people to take their eyes off her.
There were not many other diners in the upscale restaurant. When the men looked over, they saw the stunning Ling Tianya and were mesmerized by her beauty. Then, they saw Ruan Zeyan, a man who was so powerful that no other man would dare to approach his woman; they would not even dare to reveal the slightest desire they might have inside.
Ruan Zeyan himself was also incredibly handsome and charismatic. Bowing forward, he caressed Ling Tianya’s cheek and kissed her gently, as if there was nobody else in the room.
Ling Tianya’s face blushed by Ruan Zeyan’s explicit words and bold action. She had no idea how attractive that face looked to him.
Meanwhile, in the Ling Family, Qu Wan appeared extremely anxious. Ling Yuqing was sitting on the sofa covered in bruises. Apparently, Sheng Dan didn’t pull any punches, so Ling Yuqing felt her whole body was about to fall apart. She was in no mood to pursue Sheng Dan right then. Priority number one was to smooth Ling Tao’s anger.
Qu Wan felt bad for Ling Yuqing. “That Sheng Dan hit you so hard. Don’t worry, Mom will make her pay. Having all these bruises on your body could be a good thing right now. Maybe when Tao sees you like this, he will feel sorry for you. Then I’ll beg him for you. He might just let this thing go.”
Ling Yuqing pouted. “But, Grandma…”
Thinking about Madam Ling, Qu Wan was irritated. “Don’t worry about that old fart. Tao is still the head of this family!”
After watching the live broadcast, the Madam Ling cursed at Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing furiously. Then she and Miss Zhang went straight to the Guans to comfort Guan Meiyi.
Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the front door. Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing tensed up immediately. Shortly after, Ling Tao walked in the room with a stern face.
Qu Wan hurried up with Ling Yuqing, looking very apologetic. “Tao, Yuqing was…”
Slap!
Before Qu Wan could finish her sentence, Ling Tao’s hand fell heavily on Ling Yuqing’s face.
Ling Yuqing was shocked by that slap and didn’t know how to react.
“Tao, what are you doing?” Qu Wan shouted hysterically.
Staring at Ling Yuqing, Ling Tao said in a harsh voice, “Get out! Get out of the Ling Family, now!”
