Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 520: Chapter 520: This is all a joke _1
 

“At that time, I couldn’t get engaged to you because you were already married.”

But I didn’t dare to tell you the truth. I had already hurt you by not going through with our engagement. If I added to that by telling you the truth, I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to handle it…”

“Nonsense! I had already divorced him, long before now. I even have the divorce papers! If I hadn’t divorced him, how could he have gotten engaged to Yan Yue!” Jian Yufei shot back, her voice filled with emotion.

Xiao Lang said solemnly, “It’s true. If you don’t believe me, ask him yourself.”

Jian Yufei stood motionlessly for a moment, then pulled away from Ruan Tianling and bolted for the door.

Ruan Tianling stepped forward, grabbing her hand. “Stay here,” he said in a deep voice, “I’ll go ask.”

“Let me go, I want to ask him myself!”

“Behave yourself, I’ll go!” Ruan Tianling held her close, forcibly leading her back to the living room. Xiao Lang was asked by the housekeeper to leave, not allowing him to stay any longer.

Jian Yufei stopped struggling, Ruan Tianling lifted her in his arms and carried her upstairs, laying her onto the bed.

Crouching in front of her, he held her hand gently, “I’ll go ask and tell you the result when I’m back.”

Jian Yufei bit her lip and remained silent, her eyes welled up with tears.

How could her respected grandfather treat them this way? If she’s really not divorced from Ruan Tianling, what would she do?

She went through so much to divorce Ruan Tianling, believing it was truly over; yet now, Xiao Lang is telling her she’s not yet divorced from Ruan Tianling.

Then, what was all her suffering, her hopes, her efforts for?

It was all a joke!

Everything was a joke from the beginning!

Jian Yufei took a deep breath, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Ruan Tianling reached out and gently wiped away her tears, but Jian Yufei angrily slapped his hand away. “Let me tell you, even if we aren’t divorced yet, I will never acknowledge our marital relationship! If we’re not separated, we will be by tomorrow!”

Ruan Tianling stiffened his lips and rose to his feet saying, “I’m going to ask now.”

“Promise me, if we really aren’t divorced yet, you will come and divorce me tomorrow!” She gripped his hand, looking at him with determination.

Ruan Tianling’s expression turned gloomy, he pulled his hand free, and quickly walked out of the room.

His stride was hurried, his mind filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation.

If he hadn’t divorced her yet, that’d mean she was still his, and would be forever.

Ruan Tianling couldn’t suppress the joy in his heart all the way back to the old mansion, believing this to be the wisest action his grandfather had taken in his life.

Upon returning to the mansion, he strode into the living room, questioning a servant about his grandfather’s whereabouts. Learning his grandfather was in the study, he made his way towards the room immediately.

Ruan Tianling usually knocked before entering, but this time he barged in.

“Grandpa, I have something to ask.”

Ruan Anguo removed the reading glasses from his nose, looking up, “What is it that you want to ask?”

Ruan Tianling leaned forward, his hands pressed on the desk. “Grandpa, am I genuinely divorced from Gian Yufei?”

Ruan Anguo took a moment before responding, “Has Xiao Lang already told you everything?”

“Yes, he said the reason he didn’t get engaged to Jian Yufei was because she and I were still married, is that true?”

“Yes, that’s precisely it.” Ruan Anguo nodded positively, showing no change of expression.

Ruan Tianling struggled to contain his smile, feeling a thrill of joy.

“So, we are still married? Grandpa, can you show me the marriage certificate?”
