Chapter 393: No Need to Hide, You’re Not Ugly_1
Ruan Tianling didn’t get angry and spoke softly, “Be good, finish your milk.”
“Answer my question first, who do you think is trying to kill me?”
“I’m still investigating that matter and haven’t identified the murderer yet.”
“You’re lying! The murderer is Yan Yue. Who else would want me dead? She sent someone to kidnap me last time, and this time she’s trying to kill me. Ruan Tianling, you two will kill me sooner or later!” Yufei said indignantly.
How could she possibly calm down when someone was trying to kill her?
She desperately wanted to catch the real murderer, to make them go to prison, to pay for their sins!
“I’m not trying to kill you. Fine, when the identity of the killer is confirmed, I will explain everything to you, but for now, just drink your milk.”
Ruan Tianling brought the milk to her lips, but Yufei swatted his hand away, spilling the milk all over the floor.
Ruan Tianling’s face turned grim, he glared at her, his voice dark: “Stop behaving unreasonably!”
“Who’s being unreasonable! You clearly know who the murderer is, but you’re deliberately hiding it. What are you really up to? Ruan Tianling, I know you’ll cover for Yan Yue, but I’m telling you, don’t let me find evidence, or I swear I won’t let her off.”
Ruan Tianling clenched the cup in his hand, his lips tightly pressed into a straight line.
He abruptly stood up and left, but not before instructing a servant to bring another cup of milk.

Xu Man had been waiting for several days, but there was still no news of anyone jumping off a building in D City.
She wanted to contact those two thugs to confirm the situation, but she was afraid of revealing herself and being threatened by them.
After several uneasy days at home, she finally figured it out.
Regardless of whether Yufei was dead or not, nobody would suspect her as long as she kept a low profile.
Therefore, she couldn’t panic and give herself away.
Yufei’s health had improved substantially. Apart from the fading bruise on her face, she was pretty much okay now.
They were set to return to A City today, her luggage had been packed, and they would be heading to the airport shortly.
Standing in front of the mirror, Yufei let down her hair, put on a hat, sunglasses and a face mask. After making sure her face was concealed, she headed downstairs.
Just as Ruan Tianling came up to find her, he couldn’t help but laugh at her appearance, “What’s all this for? One would think you’re a big superstar on a tour.”
Yufei didn’t respond to him. As she walked by him, he grabbed her wrist.
He pulled off her mask and sunglasses, looked at the light bruise on her cheek, his gaze was deep, “You don’t need to cover it up. You’re not ugly.”
Did he think she was covering up because she was embarrassed to be seen?
Yufei collected her sunglasses and mask, put them back on.
“I’m not setting off with you today. I’ll go to the airport first, you come later. We should act like strangers who don’t know each other.”
Ruan Tianling frowned slightly, Yufei looked at him and said, “You haven’t spread the news of my death yet, have you? So then, who do you think will freak out when they suddenly see me?”
“Who are you trying to test?” Ruan Tianling asked knowingly.
Yufei smiled faintly: “You tell me? All those girls, I want to test them all. But the one I really want to test is Yan Yue.”
“I’ll look into this matter properly, there’s no need for you to test them like this.”
“Are you feeling guilty or scared? Afraid that I’ll find out the murderer is Yan Yue?” Yufei said mockingly, “Even if I know it’s her, what difference does it make? Without evidence, and you certainly won’t give me any, I can’t accuse her.”
