Chapter 197 - The Sincerity And Intention Of One"s Heart Are Worth Cherishing

"No! What I meant is I"m just cursing myself in my heart." As if noticing that she had accidentally revealed her wrongdoing, Xian Guiying paused for a moment. She looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was smiling, with an aggrieved expression.

Xian Zihao cast a sidelong glance at them. When he saw the cheerful smile on Jiang Ruolan"s face, a faint light flashed across his deep eyes.

When the black Land Rover reached the city center"s main road, it pa.s.sed a red Ferrari that sped away in the opposite direction like a whirlwind. Jiang Ruolan turned around to look at the faraway Ferrari. "Isn"t that Qin Gengxin"s car?"

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Xian Guiying abruptly throw her gaze outside the window. She seemed to have noticed the car as well. In that instant, she quieted down, a hint of disappointment flashing across her eyes.

When the car stopped in front of Greenville Residence, Xian Guiying reluctantly looked at the building complex and said with a frown, "Brother, sister-in-law, I think it"s better if I stay in a hotel."

"Stop messing around, let"s go in first and talk inside." Xian Zihao"s slightly cold gaze fell on Xian Guiying. His tone of voice did not allow any rejection.

Xian Guiying paused for a moment. It was clear that she did not want to be a third-wheel, but due to Xian Zihao"s order, and since Jiang Ruolan was already holding her hand, she could only allow her to lead her into the Greenville Residence.

In Jiang Ruolan"s mind, she had once thought that Xian Zihao"s sister would be one of those cute, innocent, and pampered little girls. Ever since the last time she saw Xian Guiying at Xian Residence, she had dispelled this thought because Xian Guiying was not a cute, innocent, and delicate girl. Instead, she had a certain coldness and elegance in her, giving people a deep feeling of distance.

After all, Xian Guiying was the person in charge of Xian Corporation, and judging from her words and actions, she did not like keeping people closer to her.

Xian Guiying"s personality was similar to Jiang Ruolan"s. Was it because of this that she (Xian Guiying) had helped her that time at the Xian Residence?

While they walked to the building entrance, Xian Zihao went to park his car at the parking lot.

Xian Guiying suddenly looked deeply at Jiang Ruolan. After a long time, she asked softly, "Is my brother really good to you?"

Jiang Ruolan looked at her for a moment, and before she could answer, Xian Zihao"s tall and straight figure entered her line of sight.

"Why are you standing in the doorway?" Xian Zihao slowly closed the door.

"Guiying, I bought a lot of interesting stuff outside a few days ago. I can"t even keep it at home anymore. Quickly choose which one you like and take it home with you." Jiang Ruolan took Xian Guiying"s hand and brought her to the guest bedroom.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, Xian Guiying immediately saw those weird little gifts on the bedside table. They weren"t particularly valuable, but they were all very creative and unique.

Seeing Xian Guiying walk in that direction with bright eyes, Jiang Ruolan knew that she didn"t make a mistake in her purchase.

Xian Guiying did not lack many things, but her life did not have special care, a special purpose that belonged solely to her.

"Sister-in-law, you didn"t buy it just for me, did you?" Xian Guiying picked up a strange looking crystal and played with it with her hand. The rays of sunlight entering through the windows make the item look very pleasing to the eye. There was even a word "Ying" carved on the crystal.

"I"m afraid you won"t like it, so I bought all of this for you. These items are specially prepared for you. Those are all small items sold in the market, and most of them are items I like. I think you can like it too, so I bought a lot for you to choose." Jiang Ruolan smiled as she approached her from behind.

"These items are very cheap and even if you don"t like them, you still have to give me a face. Don"t demean me too much!"

Xian Guiying kept playing with the crystal, and looked at the other little gifts on the table, and said appreciatively, "How can I not like it? Who says that women must love luxury goods? For me, the sincerity and intention of one"s heart are worth cherishing."

After saying that, Xian Guiying put the crystal into the gift box like it was a precious treasure. It seemed that she was going to take it away when she left.

Jiang Ruolan went to help her.

"Sister-in-law, if you value this marriage, you must protect my brother and never leave him easily. If you love him, you must take this relationship more seriously. Do not consider this relationship as a child"s play." Suddenly, Xian Guiying"s voice rang in her ear.

Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment and turned to look at Xian Guiying, only to find that she was saying this carelessly. She was not even looking at her.

Jiang Ruolan replied seriously, "I have never treated all of this as child"s play. I am actually a simple person. Whoever treats me really well, I will treat him the same. As long as no one hurts me intentionally, I will not take the initiative to hurt anyone, and it will be the same for your brother as well. As long as he is unwavering in his actions, I will protect this marriage and treat him well."

"Did Zhou Shufen looks for you guys?"

"Yes." Jiang Ruolan"s expression was calm.

Xian Guiying stood up and stared into Jiang Ruolan"s eyes. She asked indifferently, "What kind of att.i.tude does my brother have towards her?"

Jiang Ruolan pondered for a moment before replying, "Avoiding her."

Xian Guiying nodded her head in understanding as a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes. She murmured, "No wonder."

"What are you saying?" Jiang Ruolan guessed that Xian Guiying knew a lot about Xian Zihao and Zhou Shufen"s past, but her expression made it difficult for people to understand what she was saying.

"Nothing, this is good." Xian Guiying smiled. "I"ll go and see what my brother is doing."

As she said that, she turned around and walked out of the bedroom. When she went to the kitchen, she saw Xian Zihao was preparing dinner. Xian Guiying was surprised for a moment.

Jiang Ruolan laughed. "Are you surprised seeing him like this?"

"Heavens …" Xian Guiying shook her head speechlessly. "It"s simply too biased! It makes me very angry!"

After saying that, she threw the kitchen door open and rushed to Xian Zihao with an unfriendly expression.

Jiang Ruolan followed from behind with a smile. She saw Xian Guiying tugging on Xian Zihao"s sleeves with displeasure. "Brother, you"re going too far!"

"Why are you here?" Xian Zihao glanced at Xian Guiying and saw her sour expression. He immediately frowned. "Whose turn this time? Who provoked you?"

"I always acted coquettishly with you when you were in Boston and begged you to cook for me so many times, but you never did it for me once!" Xian Guiying stuck close to him with a sour expression and said angrily.
