Chapter 211 - Wedding Date II

Cui Liuxian lowered her head and slowly stretched out her hand to pick up the tissue. Zhou Shufen sat there quietly, staring straight at Jiang Ruolan, watching her reaction.

No matter how many people"s hopes are fulfilled or how many people"s hopes are destroyed by this scene, please forgive her. Perhaps they were all porcupines who had suffered through many hardships and had taken too long to forget their past.

When they met at that time, they had decided to spend their lives together. Thus, they embraced each other without any hesitation. It wasn"t because of a single glance, nor was it because of their deep roots in love, nor was it because of their pa.s.sionate love.

Maybe Xian Zihao proposed this suggestion because he was afraid that he would regret it later on if he hesitated again.

Ridiculous, isn"t it? The raw rice was made into ripening rice, all for the sake of making it impossible for her (Zhou Shufen) to return to his heart.

Therefore, Zhou Shufen never asked Xian Zihao whether he really loved her or not.

"Yes, when will the wedding take place?" Xian Guiying, who had finished eating and walking down the stairs with leftovers, suddenly interrupted.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned as she stared at Xian Zihao"s smiling face.

"I"ll listen to you."

"What about half a month from now?" Xian Zihao smiled and looked back at the Xian Family.

It was indeed the best time to discuss this as their family was gathering now. At least with Senior Zhou, Zhou Shufen, and Jiang Family here, neither Old Man Xian nor Xian Jian will say anything against it.

"Half a month from now? This is good news. This month is a lucky month for our Xian Family. Who knows, the old man will probably be able to hug his great-grandson soon." Zhan An smiled happily.

Jiang Guanyu also smiled and nodded. Although he never got the chance to talk to Jiang Ruolan, he still responded with a smile at the same time, "Not bad. It is indeed a good decision."

Zhou Shufen could not finish her meal, but unknowingly, she drank a lot of wine. One of the two bottles of white spirit next to Senior Zhou was empty without anyone noticing. She drank the wine calmly, not bothering anyone.

Even though Zhou Shufen"s presence was becoming more powerful in this love affair, she was still unable to reach Xian Zihao"s heart.

That"s right, no matter how much she loved someone, she couldn"t lose her self-respect. No matter how cruel Zhou Shufen was to Jiang Ruolan, she was still a rational woman after all.

After the meal, Jiang Ruolan went back to the bedroom to take a shower. Once she was done with a shower, her fatigue immediately disappeared. She wore the new pajamas that Xian Guiying had given her and wandered back and forth in Xian Zihao"s bedroom.

When she heard the wind blowing, Jiang Ruolan rushed open the window and walked to the balcony. "Wah! It"s so refreshing outside."

Since there was nothing she could do at this moment, she decided to put on her coat and left the room.

Jiang Ruolan went to the kitchen to get some food from Nanny Cheng, then carried them out. When she went out with a bunch of food, the smelly dog actually barked at her when it saw her, as if it was expressing its displeasure with her.

Jiang Ruolan simply squatted down and put the plate in her hands on the ground. The dog stopped barking but gave a few "Wu Wu Wu Wu" sounds and smelled the food. It walked over, smelled it twice, and opened its mouth to eat. When the dog was about to bite the food, Jiang Ruolan suddenly picked up the plate and stood up with a face full of smugness. She was looking superiorly at the dog.

"Come on. If you have the ability, come on and play coquettishly with me. I"m half your master after all."

In the end, this dog seemed to have some backbone. It raised its head and glared at her twice before turning around and strutted away.

The corner of Jiang Ruolan"s mouth twitched. She followed the dog and stared at it before putting the plate down again. The dog immediately noticed her approach. It turned around and rushed over.

When Jiang Ruolan picked up the plate again, the dog began to whine, purring through its nose with its mouth closed, ready to bite her.

A woman and a dog were looking at each other under the shade of a tree in front of the Xian Residence.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure not far from her out of the corner of her eye. She raised her hand and looked over.

It was Zhou Shufen.

She looked a bit drunk and was sitting under the tree in a daze. After the meal, Zhan An had asked someone to show the guest room to her, so why did she come out now?

Jiang Ruolan was about to walk over when suddenly, a tall figure stepped out from the door. She turned her head abruptly, and when she saw Xian Zihao coming out, she subconsciously stood in the shade of the tree, not moving.

Jiang Ruolan knew that Xian Zihao had come out to look for her, and she didn"t know if he would notice her first or not.

Jiang Ruolan didn"t know whether it was because she was actually very suspicious and began to distrust Xian Zihao, but she actually stood there and waited to see what he would do.

While waiting for him, Jiang Ruolan peeled the orange skin that she had brought along with her. She stood there quietly, her fingers involuntarily stabbing the hole in the middle of the orange before pulling it out again.

Jiang Ruolan"s fingers continued stabbing the small orange while staring at Zhou Shufen with her bright eyes. She thought about what would happen when Xian Zihao saw Zhou Shufen and imagined her husband"s controversial scenery with his ex-girlfriend meeting in the middle of the night while her fingers constantly ruined the orange.

A hand s.n.a.t.c.hed away the small orange in her hand. Jiang Ruolan immediately turned around and stared blankly at Xian Zihao as he put the orange into his mouth.

Jiang Ruolan couldn"t help but be stunned. She looked towards Zhou Shufen, then towards Xian Zihao.

Didn"t he see Zhou Shufen there?

"It"s a cold day and your hair is still wet?" Xian Zihao just glanced at the figure under the canopy. He did nothing, only keep eating the orange casually. Then, he tilted his head to the side to look at Jiang Ruolan.

Hmm, it looked like the tree where she stood was not as hidden as she imagined. Why was that in the TV series, whenever someone stood under the shade or a telephone pole, they would not be discovered by anyone, and could even hear so many shocking secrets? That was all a lie!

"I just went out to get some air." Jiang Ruolan"s mouth twitched as she watched him eat the orange fruit that she had just ravaged. For some reason, she felt awkward for getting caught peeping at him. It was so embarra.s.sing.

For a moment, Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt as though she was dismembering the evil female lead who refused to let go of the male protagonist. She felt like she was obstructing the development of the male lead and female lead with all kinds of vulgar eavesdropping, but in the end, all her effort was in vain because she was caught by the male protagonist.

Xian Zihao then opened his mouth to ask, "Went to get some fresh air….With a dog?"

Jiang Ruolan"s expression was solemn. "Yes, that"s right. Since no one wanted to accompany me, then I asked this stinky dog to go with me."

Xian Zihao"s face darkened. He took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulder. "Such a big person doesn"t know how to take care of herself."

As Xian Zihao spoke, he pulled Jiang Ruolan closer to his embrace.

"What did Senior Zhou talk to you just now?" Jiang Ruolan blinked her eyes and asked.

Xian Zihao"s thin lips pursed slightly as he said, "It"s nothing. Don"t mind it. Let"s go back to our room, it"s too cold outside. You will catch a fever if you keep standing here longer."

Jiang Ruolan nodded and linked her hand in his arm. Just as both of them were about to enter the house, Jiang Ruolan suddenly heard a voice coming from the shed.

When she turned around, she saw Zhou Shufen had already gotten up and walked directly towards them. Her gaze was fixated on the hand that Xian Zihao had wrapped around Jiang Ruolan"s waist.

Jiang Ruolan couldn"t help but pause for a moment as she watched Zhou Shufen walk over. She absentmindedly thought that she really shouldn"t eavesdrop in this situation. Perhaps they had something to talk about, so she decided to stay away for a while.

However, just as she was about to move, her waist was firmly held by Xian Zihao. He was frowning and looked at her seriously, implying that he didn"t allow her to run away in this situation.

Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao in silence. After a long time, she smiled at him and said, "Zihao, perhaps she wants to talk to you."

The hand around her waist was firm and forceful, and there was a chill in his voice. "There"s nothing we should talk about!"
