Chapter 99 - Someone He Shouldn’t Approach
Faced with the man in front of her, Ling Tianya took a few steps back subconsciously. Past experiences told her that spending time alone with the man was not going to be good for her.
Ruan Zeyan smelled strongly of alcohol. She remembered only seeing him drinking a glass of wine when she left Ming Xuan. Had he downed a whole bottle since then? In Ling Tianya’s mind, Ruan Zeyan was scary enough when he was sober. He was drunk, so who knew what he was capable of …
The more defensive Ling Tianya was acting, the darker and scarier Ruan Zeyan’s face was turning.
He took a step forward and closed the apartment door. Then he walked straight inside as if it was his house.
“What are you doing here?” Ling Tianya asked. She needed to know the reason for Ruan Zeyan’s visit.
Ruan Zeyan was taking a casual stroll around Ling Tianya’s apartment. She was following behind him, not able to see his face.
“Why didn’t you go home after leaving the studio? Why did you get in the car with Gu Zhiqian?”
Ruan Zeyan sounded calm, but his words made the hair on the back of Ling Tianya’s neck stand up, “You were watching Gu Zhiqian?”
Ruan Zeyan showed up at Ming Xuan not long after she and Gu Zhiqian arrived. She thought it was a coincidence until she saw Du Gang at the front door when she was leaving. If Ruan Zeyan was really having a business dinner, Du Gang would have waited in the car. he was waiting by the front door, which meant that Ruan Zeyan arrived recently and didn’t plan to stay.
Ruan Zeyan chuckled and didn’t deny the allegation.
“Why? Aren’t you guys friends?” Although Gu Zhiqian had explained the relationship between him and Ruan Zeyan to Ling Tianya at dinner, she still believed there was more to it. After so many years of knowing each other, there had to be some emotion involved.
Ruan Zeyan stopped pacing and turned to Ling Tianya, “Because he was having thoughts that he shouldn’t have, and he dared to approach someone that he shouldn’t have.”
“Whom?”
“You.”
Standing by the window, neon lights from the outside were shining on Ruan Zeyan’s handsome face. It all seemed so surreal, especially the words that just came out of his mouth.
Ling Tianya was taken aback, “What do you want from me? Are you trying to torture me, take your revenge on me? By showing up every now and then, are you trying to remind me that I betrayed you six years ago? Is that it?”
Lips sealed tightly, Ruan Zeyan stared into Ling Tianya’s eyes before pressing on her chin with his cold fingers. What followed were his thin lips that tasted like wine.
He was pressing down hard; so hard that Ling Tianya’s lips were ripped open instantly, blood oozing out.
The bloody taste permeated inside their mouths…
Ling Tianya’s lips were hurting, so was her chin. She used one hand to push his body away, and the other hand to ply open Ruan Zeyan’s fingers on her chin.
All of a sudden, Ruan Zeyan moved his hand from Ling Tianya’s chin to the back of her head, firmly controlling her movement. The next second, Ling Tianya found her whole body locked up in his arms.
His arms held her so tightly that she thought her back was going to be snapped in half. She was not able to move or breathe, and her head felt like it wanted to explode.
It felt like Ruan Zeyan was not kissing her, but trying to swallow her alive. His kiss had so much force, and she couldn’t withstand. In the end, she gave up struggling.
