Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 581: Chapter 581: The unfortunate ones are everything he set his eyes on_1
 

The young master promptly got a leash to put around the eagle and then placed it in the backyard to feed.

In order to build a relationship with the eagle, he continued to talk to it and feed it every day. However, the eagle refused to eat or drink, always longing to fly away.

One time, it even pecked the young master’s hand. The naive young master couldn’t understand why.

He was clearly so kind to it, so why was it always trying to leave, and even hurt him?

The young master spent a day alone in sadness, and finally came out of his room to go to the backyard.

I was nearby at the time. I heard him say to the eagle, “I know you want to leave. I can’t keep you no matter what.

Letting you go is something I really can’t bear. I’ve treated you as a good companion. I thought we could become companions.

But you’re always unwilling to stay. Then I’ll let you go, because I don’t want to see you die.

But could you stay with me for one more day, the last day? Tomorrow I’ll let you go. Is that okay?”

At this point, Aunt Li paused for a moment before continuing, “The young master had prepared himself to let it go. But the next morning, the eagle had died …

The young master couldn’t accept this reality and cried for a long time.

That was the first time I saw the young master cry. He was genuinely saddened.

Miss Jian, if only the eagle could have lived for one more day, it would have gained freedom, but unfortunately, it didn’t wait until then.

It thought that it could never attain freedom and fell into despair prematurely. But often things are just like that; victory is only that tiny bit away.”

“Miss Jian, do you think that if the eagle had waited one more day, the outcome would have been different? Or maybe if it had eaten every day and not exhausted its life, it wouldn’t have died, and it wouldn’t have just missed out on freedom. Do you think that’s right?” Aunt Li asked her.

After listening to Aunt Li’s story, Jian Yufei felt nothing.@@novelbin@@

She just felt that Ruan Tianling was domineering, selfish, and conceited!

“Aunt Li, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell me that if I don’t fall into despair, if I don’t waste my life, the day will come when Ruan Tianling graciously sets me free?”

“Yes, the young master won’t always treat you like this. I can tell, he just doesn’t want you to leave, just like how he treated the eagle. No, he treats you differently. As long as you’re willing to stay and not leave, the young master won’t continue to be like this.”

Jian Yufei laughed dismissively, her laughter full of derision.

“Aunt Li, do you think, if the eagle had eaten regularly every day, had not shown such a firm and resolute attitude in expressing its pursuit, and had only struggled a bit from time to time, would Ruan Tianling have been merciful enough to let it go?”

Aunt Li was taken aback, not knowing how to answer.

“He wouldn’t! He is absolutely selfish. If given a shred of hope, he would never let go with his hands even in death.

If he wasn’t hopeless, how could he let go? Aunt Li, you still defend him, thinking he’s pitiful, right?

No, he isn’t pitiful. The ones that are pitiful are everything that he takes a liking to. Including that eagle, and me…”

“Miss Jian, is it so hard to stay by the young master’s side?”

“Yes, it is! Look at how he treats me. Even when I try to keep my distance, he won’t leave me alone. What did I do wrong? What do I owe him? Why must he force me and hurt me like this?!”
