My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 128 - Jiang Family's House

However, Xian Zihao just smiled and retreated backward. There was a dim light in his eyes as he said, "There will be some things you should do for the next two days in G City. You should rest early."

As he spoke, he picked up the coat from the bed.

Jiang Ruolan was slightly surprised when she saw him leave. She had thought that he would definitely not let her off tonight. If it was any other normal men, they would definitely not leave.

Sensing her gaze, Xian Zihao said as he walked towards the door, "I did it for my innocence."

Once again, Jiang Ruolan was caught off guard.

When she heard his words, her expression darkened. In the blink of an eye, she glared at him in disdain.

Who knew that Xian Zihao would suddenly turn around and look at her as if he had eyes at the back of his head. Jiang Ruolan immediately stiffened her face, and embarrassedly smiled.

Xian Zihao smiled in disapproval and said, "Tonight's banquet is not normal. You are free to leave, but you must take care of the consequences."

Understanding what he meant, Jiang Ruolan nodded her head and sincerely said, "I'm sorry, I caused you so much trouble tonight. Will it affect your reputation?"

She knew how prestigious Xian Zihao was in both the business and government realms. Jiang Bingqing's actions tonight had probably caused him a lot of troubles.

"It's not your fault. Bingqing is ignorant, but that doesn't mean that others are like her." After saying that, he opened the door and walked out.

Jiang Ruolan stood up from the sofa and walked to the window. She opened the curtain and looked at the bright neon lights outside.

"What if I get into the show first?"

"Stop lying to yourself. Jiang Ruolan, we are not ignorant children!"

"You know very well why I kissed you!"

Just when did it start?

Jiang Ruolan didn't even know when it started. Her heart was actually beating fast for Xian Zihao.

Jiang Ruolan immediately took her phone and find Xian Zihao's number. She sent a message: 'Xian Zihao, are you serious?'

She had originally thought that a man like Xian Zihao didn't like using text messages to communicate with others. Would he think that she was childish...

Just as Jiang Ruolan lost her thought, she suddenly heard a "Beep" from her phone. Xian Zihao was replying to her message very quickly.

'What do you think?'

Her face froze, and she frowned. What kind of answer was that?

Unwilling to give up, she sent another message, 'I'm really serious."

Xian Zihao didn't reply for about five minutes after the message was sent. Jiang Ruolan didn't know if he was busy or not, but just when she looked at the screen on her phone again, a beep came from her phone.

'I'm serious too.'

Jiang Ruolan was speechless. Why was the answer so vague? Was he seriously answering her question?

Jiang Ruolan gritted her teeth, quickly typed a hatred message but when she was about to send it, she hesitated for a moment before deleting it.

She looked at her phone and threw it on the bed. She didn't want to ask anymore. She went to the bathroom to shower, and she could foresee that she would not be able to sleep tonight.

When she came out of the bathroom and looked at the quiet phone lying on the bed, she felt disappointed. Jiang Ruolan retook her phone and was about to take a closer look at the conversation between the two of them, but the moment she switched on the screen, she discovered that Xian Zihao had sent another message to her without her knowledge.

'Don't let your thoughts run wild. Go to bed early.'

She's not a little girl with tender feelings. Jiang Ruolan knew that Xian Zihao being serious was a kind of release for her.

At least they no longer have to avoid each other, and Jiang Ruolan no longer had to suppress the feelings that had unknowingly risen in her heart.

It was a simple text message from him, but it was like a drop of sweet hot spring entering her heart. An inexplicable emotion swept over her in an instant, and an indescribable feeling gently stirred her nerves.

Jiang Ruolan never felt the love and affection of a perfect man, nor did she ever thought that a small amount of protection from Xian Zihao would cause her to feel a terrifying sense of reliance.

His gentleness...

His rationality...

His respect…

His perfection…

Everything about him will make women easily fall in love with him.

He was a type of addiction, a type of poison.

Jiang Ruolan was afraid that she would be poisoned just like that, but at the same time, she felt as if she was deeply bewitched.

The bruise on her wrist was still there, but it was no longer painful.

It was as if she suddenly understood why Cui Liuxian was willing to give up her life to get Xian Zihao.

Cui Liuxian was clearly no longer a child, yet was so childish when it came to matters of the heart.

Since she was young, she had always been pampered by Xian Family, especially with Xian Zihao's care. Just from today, Jiang Ruolan could see that Xian Zihao's patience and seriousness could make a woman fall for him. No woman would be able to resist him.

That's why Cui Liuxian can't let him go.

Such a man like Xian Zihao, who would be willing to let him go.

The next day,

Jiang Ruolan woke up just before sunrise.. She had been unable to sleep at first, but after sleeping for a few hours, she was unable to fall asleep again. After tossing and turning, she decided to just sit up and change her clothes.

She didn't like to get up too early, but right now, it was only 5: 30 in the morning.

It was still dark. After thinking for a while, she went back to her room to sort out the information from yesterday.

Suddenly there's a knock on her door.

No one would knock on her door until after 9 am and logically speaking, in the past few days, before Assistant Bai or Secretary Du left, they would knock on her door and ask her to get ready to go with Xian Zihao to the place where her help was needed.

When Jiang Ruolan opened the door, she didn't see anyone. As she was wondering, the sound of an elevator could be heard coming from the corridor. She subconsciously looked in that direction and saw someone walking out of the elevator. Her expression immediately changed.

****

Jiang Residence.

Jiang Ruolan got out of the car and looked expressionlessly at the seemingly brand-new two-story building. This was still the same courtyard as seven years ago, with withered and yellow leaves covering the entire front yard.

She cast a sidelong glance at the front yard and just stood there without moving.

"What is it? You're already here, and you still don't plan to go inside?" Jiang Guanyu put his hands behind his back and looked at the girl who had really changed with a cold expression.

Jiang Ruolan did not move. She looked at the renovated second floor indifferently. "You came to the hotel specifically to talk to me. Why'd you wanted me to come here?"

"Why didn't you want to come inside? This is your home!"

"My home?" Jiang Ruolan slowly turned her head and looked at the anger in Jiang Guanyu's eyes. She suddenly smiled. "My family …" She mumbled the two words, finding them even more laughable.

Just now, Jiang Guanyu suddenly appeared in the hotel and specifically found her. It turned out that he wanted her to 'go home'?

This was simply laughable …
