Chapter 2540: Chapter 2540: The Smile of Supreme Arrogance
"Jian Yufei—" Ruan Tianling shouted coldly.
His eyes were fixed on her, as if he wished he could devour her: "Do you know what you’re saying?"
Jian Yufei’s eyes flickered guiltily.
Ruan Tianling’s expression was gloomy: "Answer me! Do you really know what you’re saying?!"
"I’m sorry..." Jian Yufei clenched her hand tightly.
She had been so frantic earlier that she blurted out those hurtful words.
She really didn’t want him to come.
She didn’t want him to repeatedly fall into danger because of her.
Every time she saw him take risks for her, she wished she could stand in front of him and block all the danger.
And this time, she felt that Nangong Xu really wouldn’t let them go.
She was so afraid something would happen to Ruan Tianling that she had cruelly said those words.
But seeing his angry expression, she knew she had made a mistake.
And it was a terrible mistake...
Ruan Tianling’s face slightly softened: "I don’t need your apology."
"I... I don’t want you to take risks..." Jian Yufei looked at him sadly.
"Wife, life is so boring, but it becomes exciting when I’m adventuring with you." Ruan Tianling gave a charmingly wicked smile.
He really didn’t care about these dangers.
Perhaps other men would feel troubled and weary facing these constant challenges.
But he wouldn’t; it only made him love her more.
Because she was so easily lost, he had to try harder to hold onto her.
Jian Yufei knew he didn’t care about danger, but she still didn’t want him to come.
"Ruan Tianling, don’t come. This is Nangong Xu’s scheme; if you come, things will only go wrong."
Ruan Tianling glanced at Nangong Xu and said coldly, "Until the last moment, we won’t know who will win!"
Nangong Xu clapped in appreciation again.
"Ruan Tianling, do you know what I admire most about you?"
"Could it be that I’m better-looking than you?"
"..." Nangong Xu, "I most admire your fearless spirit. Since I met you, it seems like you haven’t been afraid of anything."
Ruan Tianling’s lips curved slightly: "It’s not that I’m not afraid; it’s mostly that my opponents don’t qualify to scare me."
This implied he didn’t regard Nangong Xu as a threat at all.
Nangong Xu laughed instead of getting angry: "Truly, a young bull without fear of the tiger. Since you’re not afraid, we await your arrival punctually tomorrow!"
"It would be best if you personally come to greet me!" Ruan Tianling said arrogantly.
Nangong Xu snorted, pressed a key, and the screen suddenly went dark!
Jian Yufei turned her head to ask him: "What exactly do you want to do?!"
Nangong Xu leaned back lazily in his chair: "To reunite you and your husband."
"Stop being hypocritical! What’s your real purpose? You’re bringing Ruan Tianling here, intending to kill us?"
Nangong Xu calmly retorted: "Why would I want to kill you?"
"Because to you, I am a disgraceful existence! You’ve always wanted us dead!"
"It’s true I wish you were all dead, but not now. If you’re dead, where’s the fun for me?"
"Tormenting you is more interesting than killing you."
Jian Yufei’s face was furious: "Someday, you won’t have a good end!"
Nangong Xu smiled faintly: "Jian Yufei, do you really think you can deal with me?"
"..."
"In my eyes, you’re hardly better than a dog. Dealing with you is child’s play. Cherish the time you have left." Nangong Xu displayed a supreme and unrivaled smile.
Jian Yufei’s entire body was tense—
