Chapter 157: Everything is Negotiable, Except Her (7)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ruan Zeyan was wearing a black slim-cut suit with a gray cashmere turtleneck sweater. His handsomeness was the envy of G.o.ds and men alike: dark hair, sharp jawline, delicate features, thin lips, and a toned and s.e.xy body. The man was blessed by the Creator with the best of the best.
The appearance of Ruan Zeyan caused a commotion in the corridor of the hospital. This was a public hospital where ordinary people came to see the doctors. By simply standing there, Ruan Zeyan’s presence made the hospital seem brighter, but the man gave out such an intimidating vibe that people would only look from afar.
Under a stare that was cold enough to kill someone, Ling Tianya let out a couple of dry chuckles. When she saw the excruciating expression on Du Gang’s face, who was standing behind Ruan Zeyan, Ling Tianya felt a little worse. She realized that whatever bulls.h.i.+t she was talking about earlier must have been heard by Ruan Zeyan…
The two middle-aged women who sounded dignified earlier blaming Ling Tianya for being too casual, now looked at Ruan Zeyan with great fascination.
The man was so fine … If either of their daughters could find a man like him, above all else, the physical appearance gene would be unbeatable!
The eyes of the two women consumed Ruan Zeyan’s body unscrupulously, which dampened his mood even more.
Ling Tianya coughed twice, acting as if nothing had happened, and asked in a soft voice, “Why are you here?”
The two women were stunned. “Is this handsome fella the boyfriend of this young lady?”
Ruan Zeyan’s face looked extremely serious as he approached Ling Tianya. “I should be asking you that question!”
Ling Tianya blinked her eyes. “I am free to go wherever I want. Also, this is a hospital where most of the patrons are women. I’m not breaking any of your rules.”
Not going to clubs, not accepting drinks from other men, no physical contact with men other than himself: those were the rules.
Ruan Zeyan’s face darkened even more after she said those words.
Hand on his forehead, Du Gang looked pensive. “Miss Ling, please, can’t you tell that the boss was already in a horrible mood? The boss cares about you in his heart, so your life is not in danger, but you ought to think about your actions…”
There was an old saying “accompanying a boss was like accompanying a tiger.” His boss had become a temperamental and dangerous tiger after he met Ling Tianya.
Seeing Du Gang’ pleading eyes, Ling Tianya moved one side of her mouth unnaturally. She decided to soften her tone with Ruan Zeyan for Du Gang’s sake, so he didn’t have to be on his tippy toes.
Before she opened her mouth, her body was swooped up. Ruan Zeyan pulled her up and wanted to carry her body over his shoulders, but in the middle of motion, a thought came into his mind which made him pivot and end up holding her horizontally in his arms.
“Ruan …”
“Shut up!” Ruan Zeyan seemed to be holding back his anger. Ling Tianya couldn’t figure out the emotion he was trying to hide. There was coldness, disappointment, sadness…
Sadness? Ling Tianya looked into Ruan Zeyan’s eyes, confused. She could feel that his arms were very rigid, but his palms on her body were light and soft.
It reminded Ling Tianya of The Legend of Zhen Huan, in which the Emperor Yongzheng would say to Zhen Huan, “I’m afraid to hurt you if I hold you too tight, and I’m afraid to drop you if I hold you too light.”
Then Ling Tianya remembered that they were in a hospital and people were watching. She also actually had work to do. She started to struggle. “Ruan Zeyan, let me down. I have things to do!”
Ruan Zeyan’s face was as dark. His whole body was radiating a threatening aura. “I said shut up!”
Right in front of their eyes, the two middle-aged women watched the girl who was just talking to them get carried away by that fine man.
“Is that man the broke and womanizing boyfriend she was talking about?”
“He must be, but why does he look so familiar?”
At that moment, some finance news came on the TV in the hospital corridor, and the subject of the story was the current President of the Yuan Teng Corporation, Ruan Zeyan.
The two women exchanged looks, both floored by what they saw. “Isn’t that the same man who was just here?”
