My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 132 - He’s Not Worth It

Jiang Ruolan didn't sleep at all last night because her head was full of thoughts about Xian Zihao. Also, her flight was at 6.30 am. She packed up and left the hotel at 4 am.

She also sent a message to Secretary Du and Assistant Bai to say that she needed to return to H City as there was something to be resolved.

Secretary Du and Assistant Bai were probably still resting during that time, so she didn't wait for their reply before taking a taxi and leaving.

The plane started boarding at 7 o'clock. As she walked into the aisle, she heard the faint sound of a cell phone ringing in her bag. Her phone rang for a long time until she sat on the plane. The stewardess told everyone to turn off their cell phones before their plane took off.

Jiang Ruolan admitted that she was very selfish. She didn't have the courage to face the truth, nor did she have the courage to hear everything.

She only wanted to remain calm and act as if everything that had happened in the past few days was not happening at all.

Her heart felt as if it had been brutally caught by someone and thrown into the air before it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Jiang Ruolan could never guess what Xian Zihao was thinking. Why did he protect her and kiss her?

Maybe to Xian Zihao, she was just one of those women he used to be with.

Jiang Ruolan needed time to calm her emotions. No matter how good Xian Zihao was to her, it couldn't cover up the fact that he had played with or even deceived her!

She was actually looking forward to eternity in such a ridiculous manner.

Jiang Ruolan had thought that Han Xuegang was a devil and Xian Zihao was her savior, but she forgot that he (Xian Zihao) was still the same as seven years ago. Cold and heartless.

At this moment, she actually hated Xian Zihao's gentleness. His gentleness was like a double-edged sword piercing her heart.

Just forget about it, Jiang Ruolan.

He's not worth it.

Will he treat other women with such tenderness as well?

No wonder Cui Liuxian always thought that Xian Zihao loved her.

Jiang Ruolan… Have you also become the second Cui Liuxian?

No, she's not. She could still be considered lucky. At least, when she was about to entrust herself to Xian Zihao, she could see the situation clearly and his real face.

'Xian Zihao, do you think that I, Jiang Ruolan, a fool that only knows how to waddle?'

'If what you have done is not to protect my dignity, but to pity me…'

'Then, I don't need it!'

Once she was in H City, she quickly hailed a taxi and returned to Greenville Residence. As soon as she entered the house, she looked at the fresh and elegant decorations on the side, then she looked towards the sofa as if she saw Xian Ziaho sitting there.

Jiang Ruolan quickly went to her bedroom and packed her belongings. She spent two hours packing her things and putting the house's key on the tea table.

Since there was no place for her to stay, she looked around the newspaper booth to see any house rental information.

Seeing that there was a house close to her company and the price was very reasonable, Jiang Ruolan quickly contacted the landlord and asked about it.

*One hour later.*

Jiang Ruolan carried her luggage to the promised residential area. She looked around the house, checked the water meter, and so on. Once she was satisfied with the condition of the house, she immediately paid the deposit.

By the time she finished cleaning up the house, it was already nine o'clock at night.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly noticed a calendar hanging by the wall that had a little bit of dust on it. She stood up to pick it up and casually flipped through the calendar. She intended to throw it away, but when she flipped to October, a glint appeared in her eyes.

Today was October 26th.

Friday, October 30th, was the engagement banquet between Han Xuegang and Ling Fei'er. There were still three days left ...

Jiang Ruolan entered her bedroom, her footsteps swaying as she stopped beside the bed. She rubbed her temples and went in search of cold medicine. Once she's done, she jumped onto the bed and instantly entered the darkness.

Jiang Ruolan didn't know how long she slept, but she could hear her cell phone ringing in her sleep.

The phone ringing was coming from the living room. Jiang Ruolan tried to push herself up from the bed, but as soon as her feet touched the floor, her entire body went soft, and she suddenly fell to the ground.

The cold sensation of the ground was unable to dispel the feeling of heaviness in her mind.

She was so tired …

She wanted to sleep so much...

Jiang Ruolan struggled to open her eyes, and when she finally did, the sky was already bright. She heard the ringing of her phone again, and with difficulty, she stood up.

Jiang Ruolan walked into the living room in a state of stupor. She took out her phone from her bag. She ignored the dozen missed calls and looked at Jiang Yijun's name on the screen.

"Jiang Ruolan? What took you so long to answer the phone?" On the other line, Jiang Yijun's voice carried traces of nervousness, worry, and anger.

Jiang Ruolan held her cell phone in one hand and tapped her aching head with the other. "I'm sleeping."

"Sleeping? I've been calling you since yesterday, and you didn't answer. Don't tell me you slept all day?"

Jiang Ruolan's face stiffened. She narrowed her eyes and stared out the window. She asked in a daze, "What day is it today?"

"28th. What happened to you?"

Jiang Ruolan pressed down on her head and sighed. Heavens, she actually slept from the night of the 26th to the afternoon of the 28th.

"It's nothing. I got the flu when I was on a business trip. Maybe that's why I slept so soundly."

"Have you caught a cold again? I will take a leave tomorrow and come see you in H City."

"No need, don't come! Don't ask for leave!" Jiang Ruolan furrowed her brows.

She tried to endure the pain in her head and said in a hoarse voice, "Since you're working so hard, don't always ask for leave. I'm fine. If you come here, you will catch a cold later."

"You're fine? You slept for two days! Jiang Ruolan, do you f*cking think you're Iron Man or Ultraman? I'll see you tomorrow! Give me your address!"

"I already told you that you don't have to come! If you come and visit me, I won't meet you either!" Jiang Ruolan cursed, "I only have a headache. I'm fine. If there's nothing else, I'll be hanging up. I want to go back to sleep."

"Are you really alright?"

It seems that Jiang Yijun's anger against her has subsided. Jiang Ruolan laughed, "Mmm, not that you don't know that your sister is much stronger than Iron Man and Ultraman. A little cold like this won't kill me."

On the other side, Jiang Yijun continued to reprimand her, "That's good. Don't forget to take your medicine."

"Yes."

Jiang Ruolan ended the call and put down her cell phone. She looked back at the new house she had rented, then went to the bathroom and washed her face. She washed her face with cold water and wondered if Xian Zihao had finished his work at G City.

Jiang Ruolan looked up at her reflection in the mirror and smiled at herself. Her smile was even uglier than crying.

Right now, she didn't know what she should do because her mind was in a state of disarray.

Back then, when Han Xuegang hurt her heart, she could still face everything calmly. From the moment they together until they broke up, Jiang Ruolan only cried once.

But now, with just one Xian Zihao, can make her feel very miserable.

Now that Jiang Ruolan thought about it, she really was a lunatic. When she remembered that she had been standing on the side of the road for three and a half hours in zero-degree weather, she really wanted to laugh.

She won't cry because crying meant that she had lost.

Actually, she shouldn't be sad, right?

Jiang Ruolan had long since been on guard against Xian Zihao. She had avoided herself from having too much contact with him and also guarding her heart, warning herself not to be bewitched by this perfect man.

However, everyone had their weaknesses, so was she.

In fact, on second thought, this problem can be easily solved.

Should Jiang Ruoan call Xian Zihao and ask where he was that night?

But what would Jiang Ruolan say if Xian Zihao told her the truth, telling her that he was together with Shi Zheng?

She had trusted him, but...

No one will not be prejudiced when they saw a man and a woman alone in a hotel room for three and a half hours.

Just simply chatting? What a joke.

If it was true that they were just talking, why after three and a half hours, Xian Zihao still didn't come out?

Moreover, Jiang Ruolan remembered that Shi Zheng was dressed so coquettishly that night. If she was a man, she might not be able to resist her desires when faced with such a woman.
