"Why did you capture me? I won’t do anything to harm the family’s interests," he said.

Ruan Tianling sneered, "What do you think you could do?!"

Somehow this sentence struck a painful chord in Nangong Yi, and he quickly closed his eyes in anguish.

Jian Yufei and Ruan Tianling exchanged glances—

"Nangong Yi, we’ve tried to persuade you as much as we can. Whether you eat or not, it’s up to you," Jian Yufei said helplessly.

She realized that she truly lacked tolerance and magnanimity.

Knowing that Nangong Yi’s grandfather is Nangong Wenchang, even though she thought the kid wasn’t bad, she still couldn’t bring herself to be good to him.

Nangong Yi suddenly opened his eyes and just stared at Jian Yufei.

"Cousin, can I talk to you alone?"

"Impossible!" Ruan Tianling refused unceremoniously.

"What do you want to say to me?" Jian Yufei asked.

Nangong Yi didn’t force her, "It’s nothing, you can leave."

Jian Yufei thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed, "Okay, we’ll talk alone."

Ruan Tianling’s face turned pale—

But he wasn’t naive enough to lash out at that moment.

He knew Jian Yufei didn’t like Nangong Yi, but for some reason, he didn’t like them getting too close.

He also didn’t know why he was so sensitive.

Maybe it was Nangong Yi’s appearance that made him feel a sense of crisis.

Jian Yufei softly advised him, "You all go out first. In his current state, he can’t hurt me."

Clarity suddenly returned to Ruan Tianling’s mind!

Here he was worrying about them getting too close, but Jian Yufei was thinking about how to guard against Nangong Yi.

It seemed he was really overthinking.

Besides, Jian Yufei loved him so much, there was no man in this world who could take her away.

After understanding this, Ruan Tianling felt relieved.

He took out a gun and placed it in Jian Yufei’s hand.

"If he dares to act, just kill him! Don’t be afraid to kill him; if he dies, I’ll handle it."

Jian Yufei was both amused and exasperated, but she accepted the handgun, "I understand."

Ruan Tianling once more gave Nangong Yi a sharp warning look, then left with the bodyguards.

...

Everyone left, and only the two of them were left in the room.

Jian Yufei stood at the foot of the bed, not approaching him.

"What do you want to say to me? Go ahead."

Faced with her wariness, Nangong Yi wasn’t bothered.

He calmly said, "I just want to know when you’ll let me go."

"When the time is right, we’ll naturally let you go."

Actually, Jian Yufei was very worried that Ruan Tianling would kill him.

If they let him go back, it would reveal their kidnapping of him.

Thinking of this, Jian Yufei couldn’t help but look at him with a bit of pity.

Why does someone like him have to be Nangong Wenchang’s grandson?

"When exactly is that?" Nangong Yi asked persistently.

"In the short term, we won’t let you go."

Nangong Yi was a bit disappointed, "I want to return to school. I won’t say anything, you can have someone monitor me secretly, okay?"

"Do you think that’s possible?" Jian Yufei countered. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Obviously not—

Nangong Yi tasted bitterness in his mouth, "In that case, could you bring me some books?"

This kid is quite studious, and this spirit is commendable.

Jian Yufei had respect for those who loved reading.

"What books do you need?"

Nangong Yi listed some book titles, all related to psychological medicine, and at a doctoral level.

Jian Yufei naturally couldn’t tell which books were for doctoral study.
