When Ruan Zeyan walked out with Ling Tianya on his shoulder, the car door was already open for them. He tossed her inside the car in one steady, forceful, and precise movement.

Ling Tianya’s body bounced once on the soft car seat. Just as she tried to sit herself up, Ruan Zeyan pressed in and held her firmly between his arms.

Ling Tianya froze for a second, eyes wide open. When she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly felt the cut on her lip thanks to Ruan Zeyan earlier. Fresh blood oozed out from the corner of her mouth.

Ruan Zeyan dabbed her lips carefully with a napkin, as if he was cleaning a delicate porcelain doll. With a serious look on his face, he frowned slightly, “Why couldn’t you just go along and not ask for punishment? You really have a crappy personality.”

Ling Tianya replied in an ambiguous tone. “If so many women with nice personalities love you, what are you doing here with me?”

The corners of the man’s mouth dropped, and his eyes turned ten degrees colder. “Ling Tianya, think clearly before you speak.”

“The person that needs to think clearly is you, Ruan Zeyan. I am truly confused by you at this point. Didn’t you say that you hated me to death? Why have you messed with me time and time again? Especially today, telling everyone that you want to marry me! Are you out of your mind?” Ling Tianya got emotional, “Are you seeking revenge on me? Are you trying to make me the public enemy of the Guans, the Lings, and even the Ruans? Are you trying to drive me out of the country, and out of your kingdom?”

The look on Ruan Zeyan’s face kept dropping as Ling Tianya spilled out those words. The pressure in the car was dropping too; the cold silence was filled by the sound of heavy breathing.

Finally, Ruan Zeyan slowly opened his mouth, “I listened to the recording.”

“What recording?”

“The conversation between your step-mother and your step-sister at the hotel. Du Gang got it from the private investigator that you hired.”

Du Gang was driving the car. When he heard his name mentioned, his body shivered, and he could almost feel the hateful look Ling Tianya was giving him.

“Bossman, for you, I have completely offended your future wife!”

“How did you know that I hired a private investigator? Have you been watching me?” Ling Tianya’s eyebrows furrowed, “So that time you showed up at Ming Xuan, it was not for Gu Zhiqian, but for me?”

Ruan Zeyan didn’t deny it.

Ling Tianya finally realized that she had been under Ruan Zeyan’s surveillance all that time.

“Why are you doing this?”

Ruan Zeyan looked her straight in the eyes, “You can take it as my way to care for and protect you.”

Ling Tianya was made speechless by Ruan Zeyan’s ability to tell lies with a straight face.

In the meantime, the reception had ended early due to Guan Meiyi fainting.

At the Ling house, Madam Ling was waiting for everyone to come back from the reception and tell her all about how Guan Meiyi got engaged. Originally, she was going to attend herself with Ling Qi and her family, but she got a cold the day before. As a superstitious woman, she didn’t want to bring bad luck to Guan Meiyi’s engagement party. She was also really not feeling well, so she stayed at home.

Miss Zhang, the house keeper of the Guan Family, served a cup of ginseng tea to Madam Ling and said, “Mam, you don’t have to wait for them. I don’t think they are coming back any time soon.”

Madam Ling took a sip of the tea and waved to Miss Zhang, “I am too excited to sleep right now. I couldn’t go myself, but I want to hear the news as soon as possible.”

When she thought about the fact that Guan Meiyi was about to marry into the Ruan Family and elevate the status of the Ling Family, Madam Ling had a hard time containing her happiness.

All of a sudden, there was some noise coming from the foyer.

Madam Ling was surprised at first, but called out immediately, “Son, are you all back?”

Madam Ling hurried over to welcome Ling Tao and the rest of the family, but what she saw was the perplexed look on Ling Tao’s face. Qu Wan and Ling Yuqing both looked depressed too, not to mention Ling Yuqing’s swollen face.

Madam Ling gasped, “What happened? What’s wrong? How did Meiyi’s engagement go?”
