Chapter 227: Chapter 227 She is taking revenge on them_1
Jian Yufei hesitated slightly, then said, “Can I go home and think about it?”

“Of course.” Xiao Lang grinned, his smile radiating a handsome charm that made him seem very approachable.

Having such a nice boss, she figured her work would go smoothly. Jian Yufei suddenly found herself intrigued, already considering the proposition of working at his restaurant.

After leaving Xiao Lang, she returned to her rented apartment, and took her pajamas to the bathroom to bathe. When she emerged from the bathroom, hair dripping wet, she returned to her bedroom to dry it with a hairdryer.

The cell phone she had left on her bed was incessantly ringing. Walking over to pick it up, her face fell into a scornful smile upon seeing the caller ID.

Sitting cross-legged on her bed, she pressed the answer button and held the phone to her ear.

“Jian Yufei, was what you said true or not?” Ruan Tianling asked as soon as she picked up, his tone icy and constrained.

He was suspicious, after all.

Jian Yufei answered with a light laugh. “Of course it’s true. But, it had no chance to manifest, so there’s nothing inside me. You and Yan Yue needn’t worry, even if I were carrying your child, I wouldn’t let you know of its existence.”

Standing on the balcony, Ruan Tianling’s face turned ashen with anger.

He knew she was doing it on purpose – taking revenge on them. This damned woman was using such tactics for revenge.

Without a doubt, both he and Yan Yue had become restless because of her words.

He could understand Yan Yue’s uneasiness, yet he himself was feeling more of a mixed internal struggle. He didn’t want her to have his child, but if she did, he wanted her to keep it.

Because of her single lie, they hadn’t been in the mood for social interactions at the evening banquet.

After the birthday banquet ended, he didn’t leave with Yan Yue. Instead, they went their separate ways. His mind was so preoccupied with her words that he couldn’t focus on anything else.

Once he got home, he immediately called her to confirm his suspicions. Though he doubted she was pregnant, he wouldn’t be able to rest easy without confirming it himself.

Listening to her sarcastic laughter now, he could feel his anger rising.

Was this damned woman having fun playing them around?

Was she under the impression that she could say whatever she pleased before him?!

Clutching his phone, his sharp eyes dark and cold, Ruan Tianling spoke with hostile yet sensual lips, “Jian Yufei, I can’t help but suspect that you’re lying to us to get my attention. We’re divorced. I can’t possibly accept or fall for you! If you’re up to something, dismiss these intentions immediately, or else you’ll lose my respect.”

Jian Yufei scoffed what a narcissistic man!

“Rest assured, I’m definitely not trying to get your attention. I just wanted to see your and Yan Yue’s faces turn pale, see you in disarray and discomfort. The more uncomfortable you feel, the more comfortable I am!”

At that moment, she actually wanted to tell him that there was a child inside her—a child they shared. However, that child was no more because of him. She wondered if he would feel guilty for his action?

But she couldn’t say it out loud. Only she knew about the events of her past life. Any attempt to explain would just make her sound crazy.

Ruan Tianling’s gaze darkened, realizing that she was indeed seeking revenge on them.
