Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Red Rose and White Rose_1
 

Yan Yue couldn’t express what she was feeling at the moment.

She was just very angry, very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that she wanted to destroy everything!

“Miss Yan, Miss Yan?”

Her aunt Li’s voice brought her thoughts back. Yan Yue angrily turned around and left briskly. She hadn’t even been there for a few minutes before she left in a huff.

Aunt Li was relieved, and she genuinely hoped Yan Yue would accept her defeat graciously.

Jian Yufei and the others didn’t know that Yan Yue had come over. Aunt Li didn’t mention it either. She didn’t want to tell Jian Yufei, didn’t want to add to her burdens.

In the afternoon, Ruan Tianling came home and didn’t find Jian Yufei in the living room.

He called Aunt Li and asked her, “Where is she?”

Aunt Li naturally knew that he was asking about Jian Yufei.

“Young Master, Miss Jian is resting upstairs.”

Ruan Tianling nodded his head, took off his coat and handed it to Aunt Li, then unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing a bronzed, sturdy arm.

“How was her mood today?”

Aunt Li gently smiled and said, “Miss Jian’s mood hasn’t really changed today. The shoes you sent over were received but it seems like Miss Jian didn’t like them.”

Ruan Tianling frowned slightly. He had thought she would be quite pleased and accept his indirect apology. Unfortunately, she didn’t even like them.

He walked upstairs, pushed open the bedroom door and saw Jian Yufei leaning against the headboard, engrossed in a novel.

Upon hearing his footsteps, Jian Yufei did not turn around but continued to silently gaze at the text in her book.

Ruan Tianling glanced at her with a deep expression, then sat down next to her only to find that she was reading Zhang Ailing’s “Red Rose and White Rose”.

He had never read this novel, but he had heard of it before.

Ruan Tianling removed his shoes and climbed onto the bed, leaning against her side, staring at the content of the book along with her.

“What is this novel about?” He asked her.

Jian Yufei glanced at him dismissively, turned over, and continued to read with her back to him.

Ruan Tianling leaned in closer, wrapping his arm around her waist: “Someone recommended this book to me before but I never had the chance to read it. Can you tell me what it is about?”

Jian Yufei frowned in annoyance. Wasn’t this man irritating? If he wanted to know, couldn’t he just read it himself?

It seemed Ruan Tianling could see through her thoughts. He chuckled and said, “I don’t have time to read it. Just give me a brief introduction.”

Like she would introduce it to him!

Just as Jian Yufei was about to refuse, something crossed her mind, her eyes flickering with a spark.

She turned to the page she had marked and casually said, “This book contains several novels. I’ll just pick the most classic one to tell you.”

“Alright.” Ruan Tianling agreed instantly.

He didn’t care about the content of the novel at all. He just wanted to force her to talk to him.

“The most classic novel in here is ‘Red Rose and White Rose.’ The essence of this novel could be summarized with one of the author’s quotes.”

“Oh, what is it? Tell me about it.”

Ruan Tianling laid flat on the bed, hands cushioned behind his head, waiting comfortably for her to read the book to him.

Jian Yufei sat up and placed the book on her bent knees.

She stared at a paragraph on the page and began to recite in a low voice, “Perhaps every man has had two such women, at least two. Marry a red rose, and over time the red turns into a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white is still ‘the moonlight in front of the window.’ Marry a white rose, the white then becomes a sticky glob of rice on one’s clothing, while the red becomes a cinnabar mole in the center of one’s heart.”
