She was a woman who was willing to use herself as bait and gamble her own life in order to achieve her goal. Wasn’t that scary enough?
Some would say that Qu Wan was ruthless and heavy-handed. Regardless of Qu Wan’s ruthlessness, greed, or ability in playing tricks, in front of Ling Tianya, she would never have a chance.
An unprecedented sense of defeat made Mr. Bai, who was always a confident man, lose all interest in life. No matter what the outcome was his destiny would not change for the better.
The thing that was the most unacceptable to him was Qu Wan’s betrayal and exploitation. He had always considered himself the person who was the smartest and in control of everything. On that day he finally realized that he was actually a big fool!
The child in Qu Wan’s belly turned out not to be his at all, but he was still stupid enough to want to smooth the way for the child’s future. He was the one who took the initiative in everything. It was him who arranged for the paternity test result to be finagled. It was him who sent Ling Tianxin to that living hell and had her tortured into oblivion, and it was him who kidnapped Ling Tianya.
He did everything while Qu Wan only move her lips behind the scenes, being sweet on him, and occasionally reminding him about the child he lost in order to deepen his hatred of Ling Tianya.
He was picked by an organization to infiltrate that country. In Ling Tianya’s words, he had the status of a lawyer and was valued by Ling Tao. He had a bright and easy future originally. Then, in a pure accident, he slept with Qu Wan and got the news that she was pregnant.
For many years he had always wanted to have a family and his own children. However, because of his special identity, he could never realize that dream. Then, because of the unspeakable relationship with Qu Wan, there was a child. Of course, he treated it with utmost importance. Who knew it was all for nothing.
Mr. Bai looked up desperately at Ruan Zeyan, and then at Ling Tianya. He smiled bitterly and pointed the pistol at his own temple.
The gun went off in a flash, and warm blood splashed all over Ling Tianya’s face. The hand that was gripping her arm suddenly went limp. The next second, Ling Tianya’s vision turned black as she fell into the arms of someone familiar.
Ling Tianya’s delicate body was cradled by Ruan Zeyan, her head on his chest. The man’s heart beated quickly and irregularly. He breathed heavily, his arms were getting tighter and tighter, so tight that it felt like he wanted to melt her into his body, so tight that she felt suffocated.
“Ruan Zeyan, I can’t breathe…” Ling Tianya’s voice was weak, a stark contrast from the calmness and coldness of when she was facing Mr. Bai earlier.
In the arms of Ruan Zeyan, she was like a little woman who was allowed to be weak, to be spoiled, and to do whatever a normal woman would do.
“Ling Tianya, you just wait, I will punish you!” The man’s voice revealed anger, coldness, helplessness, and pity. Finally, he loosened his tightly flexed arm.
At that moment, the pained cry of Mr. Bai came from behind. Ling Tianya turned around and saw that Mr. Bai had not died. He had shot himself in the shoulder.
Ling Tianya saw Gang, who was secretly hiding behind them, then. Du Gang put away his weapon. He walked up and grabbed Mr. Bai by the back of his shirt like a little chicken.
The original order Ruan Zeyan gave Du Gang was to take care of him before Mr. Bai threatened Ling Tianya’s life. What mattered was Ling Tianya’s safety, so Ruan Zeyan could not trust anyone else with the task.
Not knowing when Du Gang had gone behind him, Mr. Bai looked at him with an astonished face. Then, he looked at Ruan Zeyan, equally shocked. Finally, he realized why Ruan Zeyan didn’t let him die. It was not because he didn’t care about Ling Tianya’s life, it was because he was certain that nothing would happen to his woman!
