Chapter 525: Chapter 525 Wait a little longer_1
Ruan Tianling found that, after drinking tea, he felt not more but less awake. With half an hour left before he had to get up, he lay down, and continued sleeping.
Yufei stepped out of the bathroom, neatly dressed, and seeing Ruan Tianling deep in sleep, she picked up her prepared handbag and quietly left the room.
Aunt Li downstairs was already packed and ready. She recommended a driver to escort them, but Yufei declined, opting for a taxi instead.
The taxi arrived in front of a public restroom and Yufei asked the driver to stop. She told Aunt Li that she had a stomachache and asked her to wait for her.
Aunt Li waited outside the restroom for Yufei, not long after, a poorly-dressed middle-aged woman came out from inside.
Aunt Li didn’t give her much attention and continued to wait. After ten minutes, she walked up to the restroom door and asked softly, “Miss Jian, are you alright?”
“Wait a little longer.” Yufei’s voice echoed from a stall inside.
Aunt Li waited again. After another fifteen minutes, she asked again and received the same response.
Thinking that Yufei might have eaten something bad, Aunt Li continued waiting outside the restroom and nagging about taking her to the hospital for a check-up later.
She talked a lot but Yufei didn’t respond at all.
Aunt Li knew that Yufei was not very talkative and didn’t mind her silence.
Meanwhile, Yan Yue drove to Ruan Tianling’s residence.
“Miss Yan, the young master is still sleeping, you can’t go up!” The servant tried to stop her anxiously, but who could stop Yan Yue except for Ruan Tianling.
“Get out of my way! What, is your young master sleeping with Yufei and you’re afraid I’ll interrupt them?” Yan Yue icily retorted, her intimidating demeanor stopping anyone from offending her lightly.
“No, Miss Jian already left and the young master has not yet woken up.”
“Your young master always wakes up at seven. It’s almost eight-thirty now, aren’t you afraid he’s ill?”
“The young master mentioned that he was very tired today and planned to rest for a day, so he’s not up yet.” The servant explained, but in reality, it was Yufei who put these words in their mouth.
Before leaving, she instructed the servant not to disturb Ruan Tianling, saying that he had asked for a day to rest and didn’t want to be disturbed by anyone.
The servant trusted Yufei without any doubt and believed whatever she said.
A cryptic, cold smile appeared at the corner of Yan Yue’s lips. She pushed past the servant and strode upstairs.
Upon opening the bedroom door, she walked up to the bedside and stared steadily at the sleeping Ruan Tianling…
Shortly afterwards, Yan Yue frantically ran out of the room.
“Someone, Ruan Tianling is sick, hurry and take him to the hospital!”
Aunt Li, legs numb from standing, squatted down and rubbed her calves, “Miss Jian, are you still not feeling well? Are you unwell?”
“Wait a little longer.” Yufei repeated the same words over and over again.
Aunt Li slightly furrowed her brows, sensing something was off, “Miss Jian, what would you like for lunch today?”
“…”
“Miss Jian, the young master has called. Do you want to answer it now?”
“Wait a little longer.”
Aunt Li walked into the restroom and gently knocked on the door, “Miss Jian, open the door, I’ll give you the phone.”
“Wait a little longer.”
Aunt Li’s expression changed and she banged on the door forcefully, “Miss Jian, are you in there? Open the door, let me see if you’re in there!”
There was no response from inside, regardless of how much she shouted. After hearing no sound from within, Aunt Li became certain that something had happened to Yufei.
