At that exact moment, in another city, Ling Tianya was looking out of the window into the same sky.
She was frantically thinking about her child and Ruan Zeyan.
Tiny Rice Ball was used to drinking his mother’s milk. Since she wasn’t at home, what was the baby being fed? Would he cry since he wasn’t able to drink his mother’s milk? Would he get sick?
And then there was Ruan Zeyan. He must be feeling horrible. Ling Tianya could imagine Ruan Zeyan’s ice-cold eyes and fierce, otherworldly coldness.
Would Mom be silently crying because she was worried about her?
Grandmother was already quite old. Would this matter impact her health?
Grandmother and Luoluo came to visit her and Tiny Rice Ball every week. If she didn’t see her this week, Grandmother would also become anxious. She had already experienced so much and could not take any more surprises.
And Father…
Thinking of Ruan Qishan, Ling Tianya suddenly thought of something and her small hand subconsciously touched the pocket of her pants.
As expected, the fountain pen was still there!
This was Father’s emblem as the head of the Ruan Family. In the past, whenever the hidden guards saw this pen, it was as if they were seeing Ruan Qishan himself.
Ling Tianya recalled how, when Ruan Qishan gave her this pen, he had believed that he was definitely going to die and was entrusting the future to her. He said that if, in the future, anything were to happen to her, then she could take this fountain pen and look for someone named Tao Dayu in City H.
She had subconsciously placed the fountain pen in the pocket of her pants. Her clothes were long so they covered her pants and therefore, no one noticed.
At this time, a sound came from outside the door. Someone had arrived.
Ling Tianya immediately placed the fountain pen in her pocket. She hugged her knees and continued looking out of the window.
Zhang Ke walked in carrying a plate. Just as she was going to tell Ling Tianya to eat dinner, she saw that her lunch had not been touched.
“Teacher, why won’t you eat anything?” Zhang Ke put down the plate and frowned.
“I’ve already told you not to address me as teacher. It disgusts me.” Ling Tianya did not turn around and continued to look out of the window.
Ling Tianya’s coldness and distance pierced Zhang Ke’s heart. “What should I call you, if not teacher?
“Anything. Hostage, prisoner, that woman, anything is fine.” Ling Tianya’s voice was full of mocking.
Zhang Ke furrowed her brows. “I’ve been accustomed to referring to you as teacher for so many years and it isn’t easy for me to change the habit in such a short amount of time. Therefore, just bear with it for now.”
Ling Tianya sneered. “Am I not bearing with it right now?”
“I know that you hate me. However, no matter how much you hate me, you shouldn’t go against your own body. If you don’t eat for a long time, your stomach will begin to hurt. Did you forget?””Eat something,” Zhang Ke pleaded.
Zhang Ke’s words made Ling Tianya think back to the time when they were out of the country. Every time she didn’t eat her meals properly, Zhang Ke would constantly nag her. That time seemed to be a lifetime ago.
Ling Tianya’s cold, sealed heart slightly melted when she thought of the past. But very quickly, that melted heart would once again harden.
At this moment, this room and the barred window were consistent reminders to Ling Tianya that the one who kidnapped her was Zhang Ke.
Therefore, everything was simply a hypocritical show of affection.
“I want to meet your leader,” Ling Tianya said coldly.
“The leader will not see you right now,” Zhang Ke said.
“I won’t eat until he sees me!” Ling Tianya’s voice was firm.
Zhang Ke bit her lip. She knew that Ling Tianya was someone who meant what she said.
