Chapter 1894: Chapter 1894: A Surprise for You
"I’ve noticed that when you talk now, it’s always vague, and you always like to change the subject. Jian Yufei, you’d better not let me find out that you’re hiding something from me, or I won’t let you off!"
Ruan Tianling threatened her viciously, but such threats no longer scared Jian Yufei.
"What could I possibly be hiding from you? Don’t let your imagination run wild."
Ruan Tianling laughed, "I actually hope I’m just being paranoid."
"Get up and eat, I’ve made dinner."
Jian Yufei nodded. The first thing she did upon standing up was take her birth control pills.
Ruan Tianling immediately showed his displeasure, "Are you still taking that?!"
Jian Yufei smiled, "I’m on other medication right now and can’t have children."
With this explanation, Ruan Tianling’s expression eased.
"Next time I’ll be careful, so you won’t have to take them anymore."
Jian Yufei realized that her burnt face was quite timely, always available to use as a shield.
Initially, she had planned to use her disfigurement as an excuse to break up with Ruan Tianling.
But she couldn’t bring herself to do it, and her heart softened, so she never spoke of breaking up.
Now the scars on her face can only be used as minor excuses.
And they work quite well.
...
After that nightmare, Jian Yufei’s mindset changed considerably.
She realized she couldn’t just leave Ruan Tianling behind and find a place to die alone.
With Ruan Tianling’s personality, he would search for her to the ends of the earth.
Not stopping until he found her.
The result would be wasting the only two years they could be together, and he would still find her, accompanying her to the end.
If that was the inevitable ending, it was better to stay and spend those two years with him.
Perhaps she could persuade him to give up the idea of living and dying together.
As for her illness, she decided not to tell him for now.
She would confess only when she could no longer hide it.
Having made up her mind, the gloom in Jian Yufei’s heart dissipated considerably, and she brightened up, returning to the Jian Yufei of the past.
************
In the blink of an eye, they had been living in the small town for half a month.
Jian Yufei’s face had healed significantly, and after shedding the scab, only a light, pink scar remained.
From afar, it looked like a birthmark and didn’t greatly affect her beauty.
In just another half a month, her face would completely recover, allowing for surgery if needed.
With their vacation ending, it was time to return to A City.
Finally, they could go home, and everyone was a bit excited, especially Ansel, who missed his great-grandfather and grandparents dearly.
The little one had even bought many local specialties as gifts for them.
Once everything was packed, they set off immediately.
By the time they reached A City, it was already evening.
After getting off the plane, a driver was there to pick them up.
Ruan Tianling instructed Ansel and Junqi to take one car, then closed the door, saying to the driver, "Take the two young masters home first and tell the elder we’ll return tomorrow."
"Daddy, where are you and Mommy going?!" Ansel asked, peering through the window in confusion.
Ruan Tianling pushed his head back in, "Kids shouldn’t meddle in adult matters. Look after your brother."
With that, he had the driver take off.
Once the car was gone, Jian Yufei asked him in confusion, "What are we going to do?!"
"Give you a surprise," Ruan Tianling said, holding her with a smile.
