Chapter 260: Chapter 260: You Are Already Dead in My Heart_1
 

He softly spoke as a lover would, affectionately asking her for her opinion.

However, she knew well that he would never truly ask for her opinion.

Jian Yufei stared into his eyes, unable to suppress her derision, “Ruan Tianling, the way you’re acting now, I can’t help but wonder if you’ve fallen for me.”

The man didn’t challenge her assertion, instead, his lips curled into a wicked smile, “Haven’t I always loved you?”

“Oh really, would you dare to say that in front of Yan Yue?”

Caught off guard by her retort, Ruan Tianling’s demeanor darkened before he issued a domineering threat, “I politely advised you, don’t disregard my goodwill!”

“What did you advise me about? Was your advice for my benefit, or yours?” Jian Yufei regained her breath and stood upright to challenge him back.

“Of course, it is for both of our benefits.” He responded unflinching and coolly.

Jian Yufei was itching to gift him with two words – shameless!

“You’re only thinking of your benefit, not mine! I’m a woman, I can’t possibly remain unmarried for my entire life.

Just because of your selfish desires, you’re holding me back, preventing me from pursuing my happiness. Do you plan to have me live out my life alone?

You can’t give me happiness, nor a fulfilling family, so don’t stop others from giving it to me. Yes, I deserved to fall for you when I used to love you!

But now, I don’t love you. You’re dead to me. I wish to stay as far away from you as possible, and hope to never see you again. Why do you continue to harm me? Do you wish to see me dead?!”

Having vented her anger, Jian Yufei felt a slight relief from the oppression in her chest.

Ruan Tianling pursed his lips, his gaze darkened.

Her last words left him slightly shaken. She said he was dead in her heart, that she no longer loved him. Previously, these didn’t bother him, but now, it suffocated him.

Lately, he often felt irritable.

He knew he couldn’t fully let go of her. Perhaps he still longed for her physically. It was impossible for him to let her be with another man.

He confessed to his selfishness. He was indeed restraining her from being with other men out of his own selfish interests. So what? As long as he was content.

He didn’t care about anything else. Anyway, letting her slip away completely was something he couldn’t stand!

Ruan Tianling took her hand and sternly proposed, “Give you a choice, be my woman! I will give you all the money you want. I will be responsible for your future, so you don’t have to worry about your life.”

Jian Yufei stared in shock. What was he saying?

Was he planning to keep her as his mistress?

Ruan Tianling was taken aback too. He never imagined he’d propose such a thing.

But once the words were out, he didn’t regret his decision. In fact, he felt a sense of relief.

Jian Yufei trembled with anger, once he began speaking, the words flowed freely.

“Let me tell you the truth, I simply won’t allow you to be with other men, I won’t let you go! Hence, being with me is the best option for you!”

Jian Yufei forcefully pulled her hand free and slapped him across the face.

Ruan Tianling’s head turned, his face grew cold, he glared at her intensely.

“You’re shameless! There’s no one more despicable than you in this world!”
