After half an hour, Cheng Chen's phone finally unlocked. His first reaction was to call Ling Tianya.
In the end…
Back in the Ruan Family manor, Ruan Zeyan and Ling Tianya were in their bedroom.
Ling Tianya had long fallen asleep, snuggled up in the arms of Ruan Zeyan. Basically, whenever she went to bed, Ling Tianya would set her phone to "do not disturb" mode. There were only some contacts who could still reach her during this mode. Cheng Chen was one of them.
The phone's vibrations did not wake Ling Tianya immediately, but instead, the man holding her awoke.
Ruan Zeyan opened his eyes. In the darkness of the night, as he watched Ling Tianya's phone light up with Cheng Chen's name, rage bubbled within him.
He knew that Ling Tianya set her phone to "do not disturb" mode at night, and with this in place, Cheng Chen still could reach her. Ruan Zeyan's eyes glinted dangerously.
