Chapter 291: My Precious Treasure

As Yan Yuling looked into Jian Yuan’s eyes, her heart trembled. This person was not her friend, Gu Jianci. Though they looked alike, their eyes were different.

Jian Yuan withdrew his hand and smiled faintly. He patted her head and said, "Yuling, you must be tired. I have prepared a room for you. Go clean up and rest."

Before she could respond, he turned to the maids and added, "Take Miss Yan to her room and make sure she is well taken care of."

At his command, two women approached and said, "Miss Yan, this way, please."

Yan Yuling observed them carefully and realized they were not ordinary servants. They were likely bodyguards assigned to monitor her. Uncertain about the situation, she decided it was best not to provoke this man.

After weighing her options, she nodded and said, "Jianci, I’m hungry. Could you prepare some food for me?"

Jian Yuan’s anger visibly lessened at her request. He nodded and agreed readily, "Of course. I will make your favorite dish. Let’s eat together."

"Okay."

As she was escorted upstairs, Jian Yuan remained where he stood, watching her ascend to the second floor and enter the master bedroom. A satisfied smile spread across his face as he headed to the kitchen, deciding to prepare her favorite egg porridge himself.

At the same time, Feng Zhexuan had already hacked into Jian Yuan’s laptop and accessed the villa’s CCTV system. When he saw his wife being escorted to the master bedroom, he heaved a sigh of relief. Although she had been taken by Gu Jianci, his wife was still alive.

After pinpointing her location, he stood up and said, "Zheming, it’s time to head back."

Wei Zheming was taken aback when he heard this and asked, "Zhexuan, are you sure you want to go back now?"

Feng Zhexuan shared the location with him and said, "My wife was taken by Gu Jianci. Gather our men and follow me to get her back."

Realizing the situation, Wei Zheming quickly informed the elite team and followed. Although he didn’t know how Yan Yuling had fallen into Gu Jianci’s hands, he was relieved she was alive. As for Gu Jianci’s motives, they could only act according to the situation later.

When the helicopters left the wharf, Han Li made a phone call to update He Yan. Since their mission was to capture the mercenary team, they didn’t follow Feng Zhexuan, leaving the abduction case to the criminal investigation department.

Meanwhile, Yan Yuling was taking a shower in the bathroom as several women waited outside. Standing under the hot spray, her thoughts raced.

Recalling Gu Jianci’s cold gaze, childhood memories began to resurface. A long time ago, she had a friend who always looked at her with that same piercing stare.

A sudden realization struck her, and her eyes widened. She muttered with disbelief, "Brother Yuan?"

"No, that is impossible. Gu Jianci can’t be Brother Yuan. He has disappeared for so many years. But how could they look so alike, almost like the same person?" she shook her head in disbelief.

It took her a long time to process the thought. She was lost in her memories until a knock on the door startled her.

"Miss Yan, are you finished?" one of the maids asked.

Snapping back to reality, Yan Yuling took a deep breath to steady herself and said, "I’m coming out."

She dried off quickly and donned a bathrobe before opening the door. The moment she stepped out, she saw Gu Jianci sitting on the sofa, waiting for her.

As he raised his head, Jian Yuan’s gaze locked on her.

She stood there in a daze, her wet hair framing her flushed face. Wrapped in a bathrobe, she seemed fragile and alluring. A spark ignited within him, and a wave of desire surged through his body.

His eyes darkened as he stood and approached her. Taking her hand in his, he led her to the sofa while saying, "Come eat something first."

The coldness of his palm sent a shiver through her, but she forced a smile. After taking a seat, she watched him retrieve a hairdryer and gently dry her hair.

As he worked, Jian Yuan said softly, "Yuling, aren’t you hungry? You should eat before the porridge turns cold."

"Mn. Thank you, Jianci," she replied hesitantly.

Seeing her eat the porridge he had prepared put Jian Yuan in a good mood. Recalling their childhood memories, he asked, "Yuling, do you remember when you told me you didn’t want to stay in Huaxia and asked me to take you with me?"

Her stomach dropped at his words and a bad premonition rose. Despite her unease, she nodded and let out a soft "Mn."

Satisfied with her obedience, Jian Yuan continued massaging her scalp as he murmured, "Yuling, I have always regretted my decision back then. If I had agreed to take you with me, we might already be married. You might even be carrying my child by now."

Her hand trembled at his words, and the memories of her childhood solidified. His tone, his manner of speaking—this wasn’t Gu Jianci–this was Xia Jianyuan.

After a moment’s hesitation, she placed her spoon down, turned to face him and called, "Brother Yuan—"

The moment he heard this name, he was stunned. His hand paused mid-motion, and she clenched her fists.

"Brother Yuan, when did you come back?" Yan Yuling asked softly.

Realizing he couldn’t hide the truth from her any longer, Jian Yuan turned off the hairdryer and set it aside. Holding her shoulders, he leaned down and pressed a kiss to her neck while saying, "Xiao Ling’er, I never left."

The sensation of his kiss sent a chill through her body, and she shivered. The kiss felt like the touch of a venomous snake on her skin.

Noticing her fear, Jian Yuan chuckled and whispered, "Xiao Ling’er, you are as naughty as ever. Are you still afraid of me?"

He nipped lightly at her collarbone and added, "I told you before, even if I kill everyone and destroy the world, I would never hurt you. You are mine, my precious treasure. How could I bear to harm you, hm?"
