Chapter 203: Chapter 203 – Wasn’t Her Hint Clear Enough? _1
“If not him?!” Jian Yufei was shocked, confused, “Then who is it?”

At the dinner table, the only possible candidates she could think of were her boss and Deputy Director Huang. However, Ruan Tianling told her that neither of them was the one.

Then who could it be?

Besides remembering the appearance of those two, she had no impression of anyone else.

“I will tell you tomorrow, I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”

“Ruan Tianling, are you hiding something from me?” Jian Yufei sensed that something was off, yet Ruan Tianling didn’t respond and hung up the phone abruptly.

Hearing the beeping sound from her phone, Jian Yufei frowned with unease.

Her intuition told her the situation couldn’t be as simple as it seemed. Otherwise, why would he continually hide the truth from her —who was that man?

Ruan Tianling put his phone away. Turning around, he saw Yan Yue walking towards him.

“Tianling, I don’t want to play this game anymore, let’s go home, I’m a bit tired.” Yan Yue walked towards him, arm in arm with him subtly, seemingly shy yet expectant.

Ruan Tianling nodded slightly, “Okay, let’s go, I’ll take you home.”

If he hadn’t received Jian Yufei’s call, he would have proposed spending the night with Yan Yue.

They had been apart for so many years, and having finally reunited, it was only natural for either of them to desire a world that was just theirs alone.

But since he has taken Jian Yufei’s call, his attention has shifted, he couldn’t muster the interest in anything else.

When Yan Yue suggested going home to rest, she was hinting at him to leave with her, to spend this wonderful night alone with her.

But Ruan Tianling didn’t read into her words. He genuinely took her home, as she asked.

Halfway there, Yan Yue realized his intentions and was very disappointed.

Was her hint not clear enough?

But as a rich and spoiled lady, the education she received prevented her from making bold and explicit statements. She had already been bold enough with her earlier subtle hint.

If she expressed her feelings more openly, he might look down on her and regard her no different from vulgar women.

To maintain her image of nobility and dignity, Yan Yue kept her smile elegant.

After getting out of the car, she cheerfully bid him good night. Like a good girl, she went straight home and didn’t stay out late.

Ruan Tianling watched her go into her villa before he drove away.

Not long after, a text message arrived on his phone. It was from Yan Yue.

[Tianling, let’s go skiing tomorrow.]

Ruan Tianling immediately texted back.

[I’m busy tomorrow, I will go skiing with you in a few days.]

Yan Yue looked at his message, her eyes dull.

He’s busy tomorrow, going to see Jian Yufei?

She texted back with a stern face.

[Alright then, be careful on the road, goodnight.]

Even though she was angry, she dared not show any of it to him.

The Yan Yue of today is no longer the Yan Yue of four or five years ago.

Back then, she was the woman he loved most, the only woman.

He pampered and cherished her unconditionally. He would do anything to make her happy even if she was slightly upset.

But it’s not the same anymore.

He was married once; now standing between them was Jian Yufei, and a gap of four to five years.

Nobody knows if he had changed in these nearly five years, whether he is still the Ruan Tianling they once knew.
