Chapter 2564: Chapter 2564: I Don’t Want to Wait Anymore
Jian Yufei prepared three dishes and one soup, along with half a pot of rice, and then carried it on a tray upstairs.
The aroma woke Ruan Tianling automatically.
"Are you hungry? Come and eat." Jian Yufei placed the rice on the table.
Ruan Tianling got out of bed and stood up.
He was only wrapped in a towel.
The towel came loose, and as he stood up, it fell to the ground —
Then, a certain part of him was exposed right in front of Jian Yufei!
And that part, began to rise visibly...
Jian Yufei looked away: "..."
Ruan Tianling picked up the towel and leisurely wrapped it around his waist, not caring about the recent embarrassment.
Jian Yufei, on the other hand, kept blushing, "Hurry up and eat."
She served him a bowl of rice, and Ruan Tianling pulled out a chair to sit by the desk.
"I made it light; you’re not suited to eat too spicy or greasy foods right now." Jian Yufei said as she served him some soup.
"Honey..."
"Hmm?"
Ruan Tianling stared at her, saying seriously, "I’m sorry if you feel aggrieved these past few days."
Jian Yufei blinked, not understanding what he meant.
Ruan Tianling continued with the same serious expression, "Actually, it’s been hard for me too, but my body can’t handle it right now, you know."
Jian Yufei: "..."
So that’s what he meant!
She hadn’t even thought about it that way!
Jian Yufei placed a piece of food into his bowl, "Just eat!"
Ruan Tianling leaned over to her ear, chuckling ambiguously, "In the future, I’ll make it up to you..."
"I said eat!" Jian Yufei slapped him away.
Ruan Tianling laughed softly and daringly added, "But we could use our hands."
"Ruan Tianling—"
The small villa echoed with Jian Yufei’s exasperated voice and Ruan Tianling’s hearty laughter.
In contrast to their warm happiness, the atmosphere with Nangong Xu seemed somewhat lifeless.
...
The study—
Nangong Xu stood by the window, watching the distant majestic mountains.
It had taken him a long time to find this small island.
However, as for the mountain, he didn’t know how to open it.
He had tried digging through the mountain but failed several times.
He didn’t dare recklessly continue, for fear of triggering something that shouldn’t be triggered, which would be disastrous.
"Ruyue, how can I open it?"
Nangong Xu gently caressed the ashes box in his hand, currently his most precious possession.
The ashes box, of course, didn’t answer his question.
Nangong Xu suddenly curled his lips into a soft laugh, "Even without you, I still have it, right? For you in the past, I slowed down my pace, but now, I don’t want to wait anymore."
He wants to take control of the Nangong Family, to stand at the top of the world—
He is the strongest man in this world.
No one can stop his progress!
...
Ruan Tianling was given a day by Nangong Xu to recover from his injuries, and no one disturbed them during this time.
Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling also took the opportunity to relax a bit.
Their way of relaxing was simple: lying in bed, entertaining themselves.
The villa had no TV or any other entertainment, so they found ways to amuse themselves.
Jian Yufei suggested guessing riddles, and Ruan Tianling happily agreed.
But their intelligence levels were not quite on the same plane.
Jian Yufei’s riddles were all answered by Ruan Tianling.
As for his, Jian Yufei couldn’t answer any.
Unwilling to remain at a disadvantage, Jian Yufei suggested playing word chain, and Ruan Tianling cheerfully agreed again.
