Chapter 491: 491: Insisting He Marries Yan Yue as His Wife_1

Yan Yue kept her head down, looking like a wronged young wife who did not dare to speak up.

The more humbly she behaved, the more the elders pitied her.

Ruan Tianling chuckled sarcastically, “I don’t love her. Being with me will only make her unhappy. Knowing that if she marries me, she will live a miserable life, and yet, you still want to pressure me into marrying her?”

Yan’s mother smiled a bit and said, “Tianling, we know those words were spoken out of anger. How could you possibly not love Yueyue? Back when Yueyue was overseas getting treatment, when you thought she had died, wasn’t you profoundly distressed? We saw your agony. It hasn’t been long. How could you stop loving her so quickly?”

Ruan Tianling counter-questioned, “Here’s what I’ve always been confused about. Why did Yan Yue conceal that she was still alive those years ago? Where was she getting treated during those years? When there was hope for a cure, why didn’t she contact me immediately? Instead, she came to find me only after she was completely cured?”

Yan Yue’s hands, hidden underneath the table, tightened into fists. She lifted her head to explain.

“Haven’t I said it already? I was worried that my condition wouldn’t improve, afraid you’d be wasting time waiting for me. To help you move on, I hid from you that I was still alive. Later, when there was hope for my treatment, my physical condition was very poor. I did not want you to see my disfigured appearance, so I waited until I was fully recovered before coming back to you.”

“So, all those years you endured, it was all for me?” Ruan Tianling asked with a smile that felt strangely cold.

If this was the past, perhaps he would believe her words.

But now, he simply did not believe anything she said.

If she were truly so selfless, how could she still cling to him, refusing to let go, even resorting to dirty tactics to get rid of Jian Yufei?

A genuinely kind-hearted person could not possibly be so cunning and ruthless like her.

Yan Yue did not detect his sarcasm and simply nodded with a smile, “Yes, everything I did was for you. Tianling, if I had known those years apart would lead you to distrust me, I would not have concealed it from you.”

Ruan Tianling gave a faint smile, “To make me trust you, you’re planning make me grieve again? If you had really died back then, would you choose to let me trust you, or choose to let me suffer?”

“…” Yan Yue bit her lip, unsure of how to respond. She just attempted to say something to move him, but didn’t expect him to press her to be absolutely clear about it.

“Tianling, no matter what, Yueyue did everything for your sake. Let’s not talk about the past anymore. Now, state your position. What can we do to make you agree to marry Yueyue?” Ruan’s mother asked with a frown.

Ruan Tianling was starting to feel annoyed.

Why did they insist on him marrying Yan Yue? Hadn’t he made it clear that he would not marry her? Did they really think he was joking?

“This matter ends here!” Ruan Tianling rose to his feet, his eyes chilled, his voice deep, “whether Yan Yue initiates the divorce or I do, you decide. Tomorrow, I will hold a press conference to announce my intention to divorce.”

His gaze fell on Yan Yue and he coldly said, “If you don’t want to lose face, initiate the divorce yourself. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you any respect.”

“Bang!”

Yan’s father slammed the table, shooting up to shout, “Ruan Tianling, what’s the meaning of this! My daughter is now carrying your child. If you dare to abandon her, I will not let you off!”
