Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2626: Chapter 2626: I Won’t Leave Here

Have they found Ruan Tianling?

Could Ruan Tianling also be on the helicopter?

Jian Yufei couldn’t hide her excitement, yet she dared not hold too much hope.

Just then her phone rang, and after answering, indeed it was Sang Li and the others arriving.

However, Ruan Tianling was not on the helicopter; they hadn’t found him.

Jian Yufei suppressed the disappointment in her heart, refusing to despair.

...

After a while, several helicopters landed by the seaside.

Once the rotors ceased turning, Sang Li and the others jumped out.

"Sang Li—" Jian Yufei ran towards him.

"Sister-in-law." Sang Li stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ve arranged for many people to search for Boss. Surely we’ll have news soon."

This was the most reassuring comfort Jian Yufei had heard so far.

"Can we go search now?" Jian Yufei asked.

Sang Li replied: "I’ve arranged for a cruise ship to come. Right now, these helicopters are running low on fuel; we can refuel only once the cruise arrives."

Originally, there was reserve fuel on the plane, but it was given to other helicopters for their search.

Jian Yufei felt quite disappointed listening to this.

She truly wanted to search for Ruan Tianling herself.

Sang Li continued saying comforting words, but Jian Yufei listened absent-mindedly, her eyes constantly fixed on the sea.

Ruan Tianling, why haven’t you come back yet?

Jian Yufei sat down, keeping her vigil by the sea.

Everyone knew it was pointless to persuade her at this point, so they didn’t disturb her.

Late into the night, someone came over and draped a blanket around her body, but she seemed not to feel it.

...

Time passed slowly—

Jian Yufei seemed to become a statue, like the fabled Stone of the Waiting Wife.

The hope in her heart grew fainter with the long wait.

The longer the wait, the smaller the hope that Ruan Tianling was still alive.

But Jian Yufei wouldn’t lose hope; she knew he would surely return.

He had promised her he would definitely come back...

The sky gradually brightened.

Jian Yufei had been sitting by the sea for an entire night like this.

As dawn spread over the land, it should have been a new day, a new hope, yet for all of them, it meant more despair.

It was daylight; from yesterday until now, over ten hours had passed. If Ruan Tianling were coming back, he certainly would have returned by now.

Even if he were still out at sea, immersed for over ten hours...

Jian Yufei couldn’t dare imagine what he might have gone through.

Sang Li answered a call, his face grave as he instructed several of his men.

"Prepare to leave here immediately! Nangong Xu’s men have arrived!"

"Yes!"

Having arranged everything, Sang Li went to find Jian Yufei.

"Sister-in-law, we must leave here; Nangong Xu has sent people."

Jian Yufei’s expression shifted slightly; hearing Nangong Xu’s name, her hatred flared.

Clenching her hands tightly, Jian Yufei said, "You all should go, I’ll stay here and won’t leave."

"Sister-in-law..."

Jian Yufei was resolute, "I will hide well, but I won’t leave this place!"

Ruan Tianling had said he would come back; she couldn’t leave.

If she left, what would happen if he suddenly returned?

Many people had missed such moments and then regretted it for a lifetime.

She couldn’t miss it, absolutely couldn’t!

"Sister-in-law, let’s withdraw first and return once they leave, okay?"

"You all go ahead, don’t worry about me." Jian Yufei remained unwavering.

Nangong Yi walked towards them.

He asked Sang Li, "How many people did Nangong Xu send?"
