Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Zoning Out on the Way Upstairs Chapter 987: Chapter 987: Zoning Out on the Way Upstairs Ruan Tianling quietly approached her and saw her with her eyes closed, one hand resting on her lower abdomen, sleeping very peacefully.

He softly sat down beside the bed, his eyes affectionately watching her, the corners of his mouth lifting in a charming curve.

He reached out to caress her face and lowered his head to gently kiss her lips.

Jian Yufei, in fact, had not fallen asleep at all; she opened her eyes, which showed no signs of sleepiness.

Avoiding his kiss, she propped herself up and said faintly, “You’re back.”

“Mhm, let’s go downstairs to eat,” Ruan Tianling took her hand.

Jian Yufei nodded slightly.

Ruan Tianling led her downstairs, where the dinner had already been laid out.

Auntie Li had cut the squab Ruan Tianling brought back into small pieces and placed the plate in front of her.

Clasping her chopsticks, Jian Yufei found herself unable to eat anything.

Ruan Tianling picked up a piece of roasted squab for her, “Don’t you love this? Go ahead and eat.”

“Mhm,” Jian Yufei smiled briefly, picked up the meat, and took a bite.

The squab, which was usually delicious, tasted completely bland to her at the moment.

She ate a few bites of her meal forcefully, then picked up a soup spoon to drink some soup.

Seeing her poor appetite, Ruan Tianling asked with concern, “You can’t eat any of this? What would you like? I can go make it for you.”

Jian Yufei set down her spoon, her voice lacking energy, “You eat, I can’t. I’ll eat later.”

“Nothing you particularly feel like eating?”

“No.”

Ruan Tianling’s brow furrowed slightly, “You don’t seem very well. What’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?”

Jian Yufei shook her head, and Ruan Tianling reached out to touch her forehead; her temperature was very normal.

“Go and rest. If you can’t eat now, you can eat later,” he said to her gently.

Jian Yufei nodded, then stood up and left the dining room.

She really wanted to ask Ruan Tianling about Xiao Lang, but she couldn’t bring herself to ask.

When Xiao Lang wanted to kill him, he had not shown mercy.

Ruan Tianling hated them, it was only natural for him to kill them too.

But… if possible, she hoped Xiao Lang hadn’t died.

She didn’t want Ruan Tianling to get hurt, nor did she want to see Xiao Lang die like this.

Xiao Lang wasn’t a bad person; he had taken good care of her and even agreed to save Ruan Tianling’s life.

While he was sticking to his own position and principles, he had also provided her with the greatest convenience and protection.

He wasn’t a bad man; he was still her brother… She hoped he could turn over a new leaf and live a good life.

Instead of dying just like that…

But the person was already dead, and no amount of thinking would change that.

Even if she were to ask Ruan Tianling, it wouldn’t make any difference, would it?

Jian Yufei walked in a daze when suddenly she tripped on a step, her body pitching forward–

“Careful!” A large hand timely grabbed her arm, jerking her body up.

Just a little more and her belly would have hit the step…

Ruan Tianling held her tight, his voice tense, “What’s wrong with you, getting lost in thought just walking upstairs? What if you had fallen?”

Jian Yufei was also shaken, a tragedy had nearly repeated itself.

“I…” she tried to speak but didn’t know what to say.

Ruan Tianling’s eyes were deep and dark; he swept her up in his arms and strode up the stairs.

After laying her on the bed, he squatted in front of her, took her hand in his, and looked straight into her eyes.

“Jian Yufei, are you keeping something to yourself? What is it?”

“Nothing,” Jian Yufei lowered her eyes slightly.

“You don’t want to tell me?”

“…”

Ruan Tianling asked in a low voice, “Not even me?”

Jian Yufei looked up at him, meeting his gaze; it wasn’t that she didn’t want to say it, but rather she didn’t know how to ask.
