The car was driving forward. Hugged closely by Ruan Zeyan, Ling Tian’s posture didn’t seem very comfortable. The man’s palm held her chin and neck, and Ling Tianya could clearly see desire in his eyes.
Suddenly, Ling Tianya felt like a fish under a knife. She struggled to sit up straight. Sensing that she was uncomfortable, Ruan Zeyan loosened the hand that was holding her.
Finally sitting up, Ling Tianya looked out of the car window and asked, “Where are we going?”
“We’re having dinner at home,” Ruan Zeyan said casually.
“Dinner at home?” It was obvious that Ling Tianya didn’t understand what “home” Ruan Zeyan was talking about.
Mildly annoyed, Ruan Zeyan said, “My home. I’m taking you to see my parents.”
Ling Tianya quickly recalled that Ruan Zeyan’s father. He had been at the end the press conference and said to them in a somewhat threatening tone, “Bring her home for dinner sometime.”
Ruan Zeyan didn’t follow the regular route. He didn’t even tell her that he was bring her home. Was it really a good idea?
Ling Tianya took a look at what she was wearing, and it couldn’t be more casual. It was just sneakers, jeans, a hoodie, black cotton vest, simple pony tail, and no makeup.
Even though Ling Tianya was not afraid of meeting Ruan Zeyan’s parents, she didn’t want to give people the excuse to badmouth her later. Apparently, she didn’t dress for the occasion of a Ruan Family dinner.
Moreover, she didn’t prepare anything, not even some organic eggs from the supermarket as a first-meeting-gift.
“You should have told me. I did not make any preparation today, and it’s very inappropriate for me to go see your parents like this.”
Ruan Zeyan thought it meant that Ling Tianya cared very much about the meeting with his parents, so he softened his tone. “It’s okay, it’s just a dinner, you didn’t have to make special preparation. You look fine like this.”
To his surprise, Ling Tianya appeared displeased. “Come on, I can’t lose face!”
Ruan Zeyan’s face turned dark again after he learned that the little woman only cared about her own face.
Ruan Zeyan ordered Du Gang coldly, “Drive faster!”
Ling Tianya knew that nothing she could say would make a difference at that point, so she made peace with the fact that she was going with Ruan Zeyan to the Ruan Family.
The Ruan Family Mansion was on a giant plot of land and people said it had great fengshui. The courtyard was so vast that the car still needed to drive quite some distance before reaching the building.
The servants were already standing by the front door, welcoming Ruan Zeyan ceremoniously. As soon as the car pulled up, the old housekeeper Mr. Zhong opened the car door for Ruan Zeyan. He was surprised to see a woman sitting in Ruan Zeyan’s car, who dressed like a college student.
Du Gang got out of the car and opened the door for Ling Tianya attentively. That very action shocked Mr. Zhong and the other servants. Being the personal a.s.sistant to Ruan Zeyan, Du Gang had a status that was way above most people who worked for the Ruan Family, including Mr. Zhong who had worked there for decades.
First of all, the woman was riding in Ruan Zeyan’s car which was already unbelievable. The only women who had been in Ruan Zeyan’s car was his grandmother and mother. Secondly, Du Gang was treating the woman with utmost respect, even opening the door for her. That baffled everyone.
Mr. Zhong secretly sized Ling Tianya up with his eyes. He was thinking, “Could she be the woman that the young Mr. Ruan was determined to marry even if it meant a fallout with the family?”
So many eyes were fixated on Ling Tianya the second she stepped out of the car, she felt a little helpless.
“Are my parents home?” Ruan Zeyan asked Mr. Zhong.
Mr. Zhong subtly moved his gaze away from Ling Tianya and answered, “Yes, the Chairman and the Madam are both home, but…”
Before Mr. Zhong could finish his sentence, Ruan Zeyan walked through the doors with Ling Tianya.
Mr. Zhong’s face froze for a second, then he let out an audible sigh.
“Mr. Zhong, what’s the sigh for?” Du Gang asked.
“Mrs. Guan and Miss Guan are also here…” Mr. Zhong had a complicated expression.
Du Gang’s face also looked troubled after he heard that. The boss made a decision on the fly to bring Miss Ling for dinner, but who knew that the Guans were there too. Things were getting mixed up.
