The bath lasted for about two hours and finally ended at Ling Tianya’s request.
On the large bed in the bedroom, Ruan Zeyan was cuddling Ling Tianya. She had shut her eyes; she was really exhausted.
“I’m going to Country E for a business trip tomorrow,” he said in a low voice.
Ling Tianya opened her eyes immediately. She looked up at his face. “Country E has been quite chaotic lately, hasn’t it? Terrorist activities are rampant! Isn’t it quite dangerous for you to go now?”
Ruan Zeyan adjusted his position and continued hugging Ling Tianya. “Don’t worry, Du Gang has arranged everything. We’re going to have a top security team.”
Even though Ling Tianya knew that the Ruan family security team was strong and formidable, she was still uneasy about the whole affair. Although the team was comprised of elites, she couldn’t seem to shake off a nagging feeling about the place. Her subconscious made her feel resistant towards Country E, even though she had only returned from the place about a year ago.
“Do you have to go there?” Ling Tianya reached out and put her arms around Ruan Zeyan. It was the first time she had asked him not to go on a business trip.
Ruan Zeyan thought that she was just being a little clingy and that her request was out of affection. “I’ll be there to deal with some company matters, and I’m also looking for a person. I’ll be home very soon.”
Ling Tianya couldn’t explain the uneasiness she was feeling. It was anxiety and fear. It made her feel very upset.
She shook her head firmly. “No! I don’t want you to go.”
Ruan Zeyan kissed her forehead and said softly, “Be good.”
Ling Tianya grabbed tightly onto his shirt. He was speaking to her as if she was like a child. “Don’t talk to me like I’m a kid! I don’t want you to go there!”
You might not come back if you went…
That was her real worry, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it to him then.
It was the first time that Ling Tianya had ever thrown a tantrum like this, and Ruan Zeyan said to her patiently, “You are just like a child when you’re with me. You should be spoiled and doted on.”
“Then you can’t go!” Ling Tianya knew that her request must have sounded unreasonable and wilful to Ruan Zeyan.
He wasn’t an ordinary man. He was the master of the Ruan family and the main person running Ruan Teng Corporation. So many people depended on him, so many families apart from the Ruan family. He wasn’t living for himself, he had to live for so many people. When Ling Tianya was pregnant, Ruan Zeyan had to give up a big factory project in Country E. The factory had completely gone to waste, and the Ruan family had suffered significant losses.
The Ruan family members had issues with Ling Tianya over this matter.
As the mistress of the family, Ling Tianya had no right to be wilful and irresponsible. She had to support Ruan Zeyan unconditionally especially regarding company affairs. That was what she was supposed to do.
Ling Tianya had always served her role and done her job well, hence, Ruan Zeyan didn’t expect such a reaction from her this time.
If it was in the past, or if it was regarding another matter, Ruan Zeyan would have listened to Ling Tianya and stayed behind. He would have entrusted the matter to someone else.
But it was different this time. The matter in Country E was pressing and he had to make an appearance personally. More importantly, he was there to look for this man named Ghost Charm. He might be the last hope of curing Ling Tianya.
No matter what lay ahead of him in Country E, Ruan Zeyan was determined to explore the unknown, so he had to go on this trip.
“Don’t be unreasonable. I promise you that I’ll make it home safely.”
