Chapter 524: Chapter 524 Tomorrow is the Day of Escape_1


    She turned her face away, her eyes half-closed, concealing the dazzling gleam within them.


    Ruan Tianling’s eyes burned as he stared at her, a shallow smile flickered on his face as he took a sip of tea. Then, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.


    “Did you make this tea?” he asked coldly.


    Jian Yufei knew he noticed something off with the taste. “No, Aunty Li did,” she replied.


    The man sarcastically laughed. His mood had started off great but was now consumed in clouds of gloom.


    “It seems like you’re really good at commending yourself with someone else’s efforts. Offering me tea made by someone else, don’t you think your sincerity lacks?”


    Jian Yufei knew she was at fault and softly said, “Will it be okay if I make a cup for you personally tomorrow morning?”


    Ruan Tianling pursed his lips without uttering a word. She added, “Can I deliver it to your bedroom myself?”


    The man satisfied, corner of his lips hooked up, “Don’t forget.”


    “I won’t.” After saying that, she left the study and went downstairs to inform Aunty Li about her plans to go home tomorrow.@@@@


    But she had been hurt too much, feared being hurt again. Regarding romantic relationships, she lacked confidence, fearing that every small step forward would lead to an irreparable loss.


    All she had left was a fragile heart which had shattered to pieces. She had to protect this wounded heart without taking any risks that could cause the slightest harm.


    Jian Yufei laid facing away from Ruan Tianling with her eyes wide open late into the night, unable to sleep.


    The man behind her soon fell asleep, his soft, rhythmic breathing audible.


    Before dawn, Jian Yufei got up and went downstairs to prepare tea for Ruan Tianling.


    The kitchen was empty. She took out a packet of medication and poured all the remaining medicine into it.


    She returned to the bedroom carrying the tea cup, nudged the sleeping Ruan Tianling, and said, “I’ve made your tea. Please drink it later. I’m going to start getting ready to leave.”


    Ruan Tianling opened his eyes with a confused look, “You’re leaving now?”


    “It’s almost dawn. I’m going to get ready and need to go shopping for a few things,” said Jian Yufei as she placed the tea cup on the bedside table and turned to go to the bathroom to wash up.


    Ruan Tianling sat up, massaged the bridge of his nose, took the tea cup, and slowly drank all the tea.


    He should have washed up before drinking the tea, but it wouldn’t taste good once it cooled. It was rare for Jian Yufei to make him tea, and he couldn’t waste it.
