Chapter 732: Your Last Name Is Ruan
When Ruan Zeyan returned to the bedroom, he didn’t turn the lights on for fear of disturbing Ling Tianya, who was sound asleep.
He went to the bathroom and took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and carefully laid down on their bed.
Ling Tianya’s back was too him. He was just about to reach his arm out and hug the woman who was sound asleep when she turned around and buried her head into Ruan Zeyan’s chest. Her seven-and-a-half months pregnant belly pressed against Ruan Zeyan’s body.
Ruan Zeyan jerked and subconsciously curled his body up so that he wouldn’t be squeezing Ling Tianya’s belly. His arms circled Ling Tianya’s head as he gently stroked her hair. “Did I wake you up?”
Ling Tianya’s small hands clutched Ruan Zeyan’s body tightly while her head was buried in his chest. Her nostrils were filled with a unique masculine scent.
“What’s wrong?” Ruan Zeyan’s voice was gentle as if he was afraid that should he be even a little louder, he would disturb the woman in his arms.
Ling Tianya stayed silent. After a long while, she asked with a sense of grievance, “Who exactly am I?”
The hand with which Ruan Zeyan was stroking Ling Tianya’s hair paused for a moment. “You are my wife.”
Ling Tianya shook her head. “You know that isn’t what I am asking. I am not the Ling family’s child, then whose child am I? Who are my birth parents? What is their surnames?” Ling Tianya paused, and her tone became a little sorrowful. “At first, I thought I could stop myself from caring. But, when I was lying here just now, those questions filled my head. Who exactly am I? What should my surname have been? Ruan Zeyan, am I very useless?”
Since becoming pregnant, Ling Tianya’s emotions had been affected by pregnancy hormones. She became sensitive and easily agitated. Occasionally, she would even start obsessing over inconsequential details. However, those were all small issues, and Ling Tianya could manage them herself.
Yet, when it came to this matter, no matter how much she tried to regulate her emotions, she couldn’t stop worrying about it.
“If you really want to know, I can investigate for you.” Ruan Zeyan said in a low voice. The sound came from somewhere near Ling Tianya’s ear. It sounded nice that way.
Ling Tianya shook her head. “There’s no need to investigate. That person said that I was bought by her best friend with money. If that is the case, then it shows that my birth parents didn’t want to keep me, and that’s why they would choose to sell me off. Perhaps they had their reasons, or maybe there was a misunderstanding. Maybe I am one of the abducted kids trafficked that year. However, this happened such a long time ago. I have suddenly turned from the Ling family’s daughter into someone I don’t know. Then, I have should meet my brand new parents. This matter is too troublesome. I don’t know what feelings I should carry with me if I face them. So, let’s forget it.”
Ruan Zeyan stayed silent for a while. Then he tilted Ling Tianya’s chin up and kissed her once on the lips. “Then I won’t investigate. Actually, since the day you married me, your surname is no longer ‘Ling’. You are the Ruan family’s daughter-in-law, so you can change your surname to ‘Ruan’.”
Ling Tianya burst out laughing. She knew that Ruan Zeyan was joking.
“Yuan Tianya, that is such a strange name! I don’t want it…”
The next morning, Ling Tianya received a call from Yu Chenshi.
Yu Chenshi’s voice was frantic. The night before, she had received a call from Yu Meizi, who said that she would be leaving with Zhang Zihao and that she was never coming back. Yu Chenshi originally thought that Yu Meizi was just making a fuss out of nothing and ignored her. However, not long ago, Yu Chenshi had received a call from the hospital, saying that Yu Meizi had abandoned the gravely-ill Zhang Chao in the hospital.
It was then that Yu Chenshi had realized the severity of the situation, so she called Ling Tianya immediately to ask what was going on.
