At the Silverlake Apartments, a black Maybach stopped right outside its doors. The car door facing the apartment gates was opened and Ruan Zeyan was right inside. From his angle, he could see the Ling Tianya the moment she walks out of the apartment.
Almost everyone that walked past glanced into the car involuntarily, attracted by the man’s handsomeness, and then taken aback by how cold he seemed to be.
Not too long later, the man’s hardened eyes sparked to life, and he got out of the car.
The man wore an elegant black suit, a diamond collar pin sparkling with life on the corner of his white shirt collar. His long legs were adorned with a polished pair of leather shoes. No matter how much his accessories sparkled, they could not hide the man’s natural air of royalty and his handsomeness.
Accompanied by the surprised gasps of the passers-by, Ruan Zeyan walked towards the gates of the Silverlake Apartments. It was only when the passers-by followed his path, that they notice the gorgeous woman standing at the entrance to the buildings.
Ling Tianya wore a plain colored qipao, the design on it was a scene of a majestic mountainous area and its accompanying lakes. The qipao was adhering to every single one of her curves intimately, showing off every single sexy nook and cranny.
Ruan Zeyan walked forwards, taking the box that Ling Tianya was carrying, his eyes shining with a red-hot gleam as he looked at her. “I’m starting to regret promising grandma to bring you to her dinner.”
“Why? Is there something wrong with me?” Ling Tianya looked at what she was wearing, there didn’t seem to be an issue.
“No, you’re perfect.” Ruan Zeyan’s voice was thick with seduction. “But it’s exactly because you’re too perfect, so I’m afraid people will lust after you. You know how scary I get when I’m jealous.”
Ling Tianya didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then you should prepare a mansion and keep me hidden in there.”
Ruan Zeyan ran the tip of his finger across Ling Tianya’s jaw, his next few words extremely serious. “Exactly what I had planned.”
That made Ling Tianya panic, she knew that Ruan Zeyan was a man of his word, especially when it comes to her. Ling Tianya immediately stopped. “I was just joking, don’t take it to heart!”
The space between Ruan Zeyan’s brows deepened. “But I’ve already taken it to heart.”
Ling Tianya was troubled then. “Don’t, I was just joking, why are you like that?”
Seeing Ling Tianya’s face scrunch, Ruan Zeyan couldn’t help but reach out to pinch it, before pointing his attention to the box in his hands. “What’s in the box?”
“That’s my present for your granny.” Why did it sound like she was scolding someone?
Not surprisingly, Ruan Zeyan’s face darkened. “Don’t say she’s just my granny!”
“Oh, that’s my present for granny.” Ling Tianya corrected herself obediently.
“Let’s go, the dinner’s about to start.” Ruan Zeyan placed his arm around Ling Tianya to settle on her waist, directing the both of them to the car.
“Hey, about hiding me away earlier, I really was just joking, don’t treat it seriously!”
“Oh?”
“Yes! Besides, historically, when people hid beauties in castles it was never a happy ending. Like the first wife of Wu Han Dynasty’s King Liu Che. Chen Ajiao, and Liu Che had married her in order to have a go at the emperor’s seat. Then, because of how arrogant Chen Ajiao got, she was disposed by Liu Che. See, wasn’t it a sad story?” Ling Tianya watched out for Ruan Zeyan’s reaction, before continuing. “Besides, the phrase has evolved to eventually mean marrying more than one woman. In modern times, to get a second wife is having a sugar baby. So, what do you want, Ruan Zeyan? Are you not planning to marry me? Are you wanting me to be your second wife?”
In the car, Ling Tianya rambled and rambled, and ended up questioning Ruan Zeyan on whether he was planning to not actually marry her? She was the one that brought up the topic, and yet the one in the wrong now was him.
