Chapter 415: Chapter 415 Climbing up to the Balcony_1
Jian Yufei’s fingers, resting on the railing, moved slightly.
If she toppled the ladder, would he fall to his death?
The answer was that he wouldn’t die, but he’ll just get injured or crippled, and she would be in trouble too, facing jail or worse consequences.
So, she decided against it.
Jian Yufei gripped her hands tight, forced to watch helplessly as he climbed the ladder and stepped onto the balcony, appearing majestic as though a deity descending before her.
“I thought you would knock down the ladder.” As Ruan Tianling’s feet touched the ground, this was the first thing he said to her.
Jian Yufei thought to herself, she indeed had such an idea, but even if she knocked it over, it wouldn’t kill him.
“I didn’t expect you to resort to climbing balconies.” She sarcastically commented.
Ruan Tianling scoffed with a triumphant grin, “Doesn’t it feel like we’re having a secret love affair?”
“...”
“Just like Romeo and Juliet.”
“You...” Jian Yufei struggled shyly for a moment, but the man behind her tightened his grip, holding her even more closely.
“This way, with you pressing against me, I will be uncomfortable while sleeping.” She had no choice but to voice her discomfort.
This reminded Tianling that she was pregnant.
He retracted his leg and loosened his grip considerably, “Let’s sleep like this.”
Jian Yufei laid on her side, facing away from him, a hand cushioning her face. Eyes wide open, she couldn’t fall asleep.
He was right behind her, his scent permeated the air, strong and omnipresent. Every breath she took was tainted with his smell, a scent both familiar and alien to her.
She was comfortable with his scent, yet she wanted to move away from him, not to be near him anymore.
She really didn’t want to stay by his side. She was certain that she didn’t love him, but she feared becoming accustomed to him, and then unable to part ways.
So she had to run away from his side, leave early before she becomes too accustomed to him.
It seemed as if he could sense her thoughts, Tianling suddenly turned her around, with his body on top of hers.
In the darkness, Jian Yufei’s bright eyes met his dark gaze, their breaths becoming especially noticeable, loud and clear in the quiet darkness.
“Before we sleep, how about a goodnight kiss?” Ruan Tianling asked with a smirk.
