That was her father, the father she had been separated from for twenty-seven or twenty-eight years, how could she bear to leave him alone.

Jian Yufei changed the subject: "What were you doing just now? Have you eaten? I just made dinner, let’s eat."

Ruan Tianling tightened her palm, "Don’t change the subject. Promise me, don’t go near him in the future!"

Jian Yufei sighed, "I can only promise I won’t let myself get hurt. Not seeing Dad, I can’t do that."

"But he can hurt you every time!"

"No way?!"

Ruan Tianling was angry: "How could it be not! The first time, he hit your arm with a cup, the second time he choked your neck. Now he’s still hitting you with a pillow! If I hadn’t ordered room service to put nothing inside, what would have hit your head would be other things!"

Jian Yufei blinked: "So he can’t hurt me, because he doesn’t have tools."

"Jian Yufei—, did you understand what I mean!"

"I understand."

"Then why don’t you listen to me!"

Jian Yufei sullenly said, "But he’s my dad."

"I don’t care who he is, as long as he hurts you, I won’t let him go!" Ruan Tianling said fiercely.

Jian Yufei’s heart skipped a beat.

"Ruan Tianling, that’s my dad..."

Ruan Tianling said coldly, "Even if he’s your father, he can’t hurt you! If he dares to hurt you, I will make him pay for it!"

Jian Yufei was frightened by his words.

"Ruan Tianling, listen to me. First of all, that’s my dad, he won’t hurt me. Secondly, the hallucinogen in his brain still hasn’t been cleared, he’s not clear-minded, so whatever he did can be forgiven. Remember how good he was back then?"

Ruan Tianling knew he scared her, he sighed.

"I haven’t forgotten, I also know Father-in-law can’t help himself. But seeing him hurt you, I just can’t control myself. So for Father-in-law’s sake, don’t go near him."

"I promise not to give him the chance to hurt me." Jian Yufei could only say that.

Ruan Tianling pressed his lips, his eyes flickered darkly and obscurely.

Jian Yufei hugged his waist: "Alright, things aren’t as serious as you think. Dad’s watched by two male nurses all day, along with so many servants taking care of him, he has no chance to hurt me."

Ruan Tianling thought so too.

As long as Jian Yufei isn’t alone with Xiao Zexin, she should be safe.

But yesterday Xiao Zexin’s murderous intent in his eyes still made him feel very uneasy.

"Still not assured?" Jian Yufei’s voice pulled his thoughts back.

Ruan Tianling didn’t want to argue with her on this matter.

"Alright, I can’t argue with you. Let’s go, eat."

Seeing him smile, Jian Yufei also smiled.

Now she already figured out how to get along with him.

When he’s angry, she must soften up.

Acting a bit coquettish, things will pass.

Ruan Tianling has no resistance to her tricks at all.

With Ruan Tianling around, Jian Yufei doesn’t dare to see her father.

Xiao Zexin eats, watched by male nurses.

...

After eating, the servants came to ask Jian Yufei how to deal with those photos.

Jian Yufei looked at the photo frames in the cardboard box, quite puzzled.

Why does father not even spare the photos?

Could it be he’s already so unclear-minded he can’t tell photos from real people?

Ruan Tianling stared at the photo frames, puzzled and asked: "What’s going on here?"

Jian Yufei squatted down and picked up a family portrait of the four of them.
