Chapter 114: My Love For You Is Your Prerogative (4)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With Ling Tao not speaking up, Ling Yuqing was too impatient to wait any longer. Such a chance came once in a lifetime, and she definitely had to grasp onto it! Besides, she was an adult. It was her marriage and her happiness; she could make her own decisions. Ling Tao was only her stepfather after all.
She had always been the step-daughter of the Ling family, as long as she could get married to Ruan Zeyan, she didn’t have to care anymore about offending the Guan family, and even less about breaking off from the Ling family. At most, she’d just bring her mom with her away from the Ling family. With Ruan Zeyan’s protection, what did she have to be afraid of?
With Ling Tao’s glance back towards her, Ling Yuqing could feel herself becoming the focus of the entire ballroom, and she absolutely loved it. The feeling of being everyone’s envy, of being above Guan Meiyi.
Ling Yuqing’s gorgeous eyes shone, she walked forwards, her demeanor like a little lamb that had gotten lost. Her already petite self seemed even more lovable.
She looked at Ruan Zeyan, adoration evident in her eyes, her voice gentle and soft, “Mr. Ruan, it’s really too sudden, Daddy and I haven’t prepared anything…”
Ling Qi couldn’t control her anger at seeing how disgustingly fake she was, rushing over with loud steps, slapping Ling Yuqing’s poor face.
“What a shameless bitch! I’ll beat you to death!” Ling Qi raised her hand again, wanting to hit Ling Yuqing again. Ling Tao hurriedly stopped Ling Qi, “Sis, let’s talk this out, don’t resort to violence…” Even Ling Tao didn’t have much confidence in his own words.
Ling Qi’s eyes were bloodshot, “Talk this out? Talk about what? Our Meiyi has treated her like her own sister, bringing her everywhere, and now? She seduced the man that Meiyi should be with!”
Guan Meiyi’s face was ashen, that day was probably the most humiliating day of her life. Her breath started to become ragged, if her mom hadn’t rushed over to give Ling Yuqing the bashing she deserved, she might have done it herself. She was Guan Meiyi, she couldn’t resort to violence, she had to protect her own image.
Madam Ruan grasped onto Ling Tianya tightly, her brows creasing into deep grooved, “What is my grandson doing?” Even though it was great that he didn’t want to marry Guan Meiyi, the woman that got hit didn’t seem like a great choice either, why did her grandson fall for her?
Ling Tianya was disoriented as she watched the entire mess unfold, her fists gradually clenching tight. What was Ruan Zeyan trying to do?
Ling Qi’s slap definitely wasn’t light by any means, and had definitely shaken Ling Yuqing up. Her delicate face swelled up with the impact. Seeing her own daughter get hit, Qu Wan rushed forward, “Sister-In-Law, no one can really determine how relationships and feelings go, Mr. Ruan can’t control who he falls in love with either. Your Meiyi doesn’t have this fate, but you can’t blame Yuqing for that!”
“You–!” Rage flowed through Ling Qi like lava, she glared at Ling Yuqing and Qu Wan, her face contorted by anger, “Okay, Ling Tao, this is the amazing wife that you married, and your amazing daughter! This Ling Yuqing isn’t even better than that damn Ling Tianya!”
With Ling Qi’s words, Ruan Zeyan’s face pulled into a controlled show of anger, his eyes piercing as he looked at Ling Qi.
Ling Qi paused, momentarily afraid of Ruan Zeyan’s intense gaze, her mouth gaped without any words uttered.
Ling Yuqing thought that Ruan Zeyan was defending her, a flicker of smugness flashed through her eyes before it turned pitiful again, she reached out to tug lightly on Ruan Zeyan’s sleeve. “Mr. Ruan, don’t get angry at Auntie, I know she just can’t accept our new development in such short notice…”
“Our new development?” Ruan Zeyan retracted his hands from Ling Yuqing’s grasp, glaring at her with a sharp edge, “Who are you?”
“I…” Ling Yuqing froze in place, her eyes shifting in panic as she looked at Ruan Zeyan, “I’m Ling Yuqing, the Ling family’s daughter… Weren’t you…”
Ruan Zeyan took off the suit jacket that Ling Yuqing had grabbed earlier, his face as cold as a piece of ice, throwing it into Du Gang’s hands. “It’s dirty, throw it out.”
Ling Yuqing’s eyes reddened, she looked at the suit, tears falling freely. She just touched it for a moment and Ruan Zeyan complained that it was dirty? She’d never felt that humiliated in her life.
Everyone was confused again, didn’t Ruan Zeyan say that he was going to marry Ling Tao’s daughter? Why was he treating Ling Yuqing like that? If not Ling Yuqing, then who?
Could it be…
Ruan Zeyan did not wait for Ling Tao to answer, and he no longer paid any attention to those laughable characters. He turned around, taking the shortest path to Ling Tianya.
“Ling Tianya, the words I said to you six years ago, I’ll say them again. I love you, my love for you is your prerogative, marry me.”
