Chapter 212 - President Qin Hasn’t Come To The Company For The Past Two Days

By this time, Zhou Shufen was already getting closer to them. Her charming face flushed with alcohol, but her eyes were brighter than usual. It was unknown whether she was talking to herself or Xian Zihao when she muttered, "Why?"

Xian Zihao"s expression did not change. He frowned slightly. "Zhou Shufen, being too persistent is not a good thing. You should understand that some things will never come back once they are over. Ruolan is my wife. This fact will never change."

Zhou Shufen smiled hollowly, "Persistence?"

She looked up. Her smile was tinged with a hint of cold ridicule. "Xian Zihao, we"ve known each other for nine years."

After saying that, Zhou Shufen covered her face with her hands. She smiled and blinked for a second. She didn"t let her tears fall as she turned around and walked inside.

"Xian Zihao, we"ve known each other for nine years"

Nine years. That was the answer Zhou Shufen had given.

When they went back to the bedroom, Jiang Ruolan immediately went to find a hair dryer to blow on her hair. Xian Zihao suddenly leaned over and hugged her tightly.

He had once said that Jiang Ruolan was a hedgehog. If she wanted to be a qualified hedgehog, then no matter what, she should stab and injure others at the same time that they might harm her. However, when facing Xian Zihao, she had to keep her thorns away. She can depend, and no need to be so defensive towards him.

Jiang Ruolan returned his embrace, greedily breathing in the unique fragrance on his body. In the end, she didn"t bother to ask Xian Zihao whether he loved her or not.

Xian Zihao carried Jiang Ruolan onto the bed and lay on top of her. She poked at his chest. "Zihao, now that the wedding is about to take place, have you decided on a betrothal gift?"

Xian Zihao"s mouth curled up slightly. "You already are my wife. Why did I have to give you a betrothal gift?"

Jiang Ruolan"s eyelids twitched as she forcefully poked him in the chest, "Did the dignified President Xian want to deny it? You didn"t even propose to me before. I still remembered it."

Xian Zihao raised his eyebrow and his eyes staring straight at Jiang Ruolan"s.

"I think it"s better if you give me a car first, hubby! The kind of car that shows my luxury, arrogance, and status! The kind that makes me look like the CEO"s wife!" Jiang Ruolan spoke with sparkling eyes.

In the end, Xian Zihao imitated Qin Gengxin"s tone and succinctly said one word, "Scram!"

Jiang Ruolan pouted and was extremely embarra.s.sed. When Xian Zihao bent down and bit the tip of her nose, she let out a low cry and turned around to dodge it, only to be caught by him.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt nauseous. She hurriedly pushed Xian Zihao away, got up from the bed, and ran out of the bedroom.

Xian Zihao walked out of the room unhappily and went to chase after her. He immediately pressed her against the wall and bent his head down to kiss her lips. "You want to escape?"

"No, I…" Before Jiang Ruolan could finish her sentence, her lips were suddenly covered by Xian Zihao"s. Her eyes widened, and she immediately looked left and right. This was Xian Residence, not to mention they were in the corridor. What if someone saw them?!

Jiang Ruolan tried to push Xian Zihao, but how can her strength compare to his.

"Z..Zihao..Stop."

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps coming up the stairs. She immediately made a sound as she struggled even more. Instead of releasing her, she got a deeper kiss from him.

"Cough..." Old Man Xian"s voice suddenly heard from the other side of the stairs.

When Jiang Ruolan saw Old Man Xian, she mustered all her strength to push Xian Zihao away, but she was unable to do so.

Xian Zihao only let her go when she was almost out of breath.

Jiang Ruolan glared at him. Her face flushed red. Xian Zihao only smiled at her and pecked her on the lips as if to comfort her.

"Zihao." Old Man Xian"s voice was stern.

"Grandpa." Jiang Ruolan lowered her head. She was blushing so much that her cheeks were about to burn.

Old Man Xian snorted and said coldly, "Don"t let me see it again next time!" As he spoke, the Old Man tilted his head. "You put me in a difficult position! Can"t you do this spontaneous activity inside your room? Why did you let this Old Man see it?!"

The corner of Jiang Ruolan"s mouth twitched. She suddenly thought that Xian Zihao was purposely provoking the Old Man"s inner defenses. Why were the Old Man"s words getting softer now and less hostile towards her?

"Grandpa is right." Xian Zihao leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and a crafty smile on his face.

With that, he immediately pulled Jiang Ruolan into his embrace and pushing her back into the bedroom in front of the Old Man.

Once the door closed, Jiang Ruolan was about to express her displeasure, but her lips were suddenly covered by his.

***

When Jiang Ruolan woke up the next day, Xian Zihao was not by her side. Once she was done with a shower, she went downstairs to eat breakfast.

Jiang Ruolan found out from Nanny Cheng that Xian Zihao had accompanied Old Man Xian to Xian Family"s ancestral hall. Of course, they were accompanied by Senior Zhou, Zhou Shufen, and Jiang Family.

Jiang Ruolan sat silently at the table. She wasn"t used to eating breakfast alone in the Xian household.

In the morning, Xian Zihao wanted to wake her up and asked her to accompany him to the ancestral hall. But since he had exhausted her on the previous night, he decided to let her sleep for a while.

Jiang Ruolan sat at the table alone while eating her breakfast.

Shortly afterward, Xian Guiying walked down the stairs. She has not fully woken up from her sleep yet.

Xian Guiying was wearing loose and casual sports attire. She twisted her neck and sat down opposite of Jiang Ruolan.

Jiang Ruolan smiled at her. "Sister-in-law, you also did not go to the ancestral hall?"

"I overslept. Grandpa would often go to the ancestral hall early in the morning."

Seeing that Xian Guiying"s complexion wasn"t bad, Jiang Ruolan pushed the food plate towards her.

She then realized that the dog was also eating soup under the table.

Jiang Ruolan was already full, and she decided to accompany Xian Guiying eating.

To spend the time, Jiang Ruolan decided to play with this stinky dog. She bent down to grab the dog. When it whimpered unhappily and was about to bark, she immediately grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into its mouth.

It was as if the bread was not the dog"s preference. As soon as the food was stuffed into the dog"s mouth, it vomited it out.

Jiang Ruolan picked up the bread again and stuffed it again into the dog"s mouth. It spat it out again. Fortunately, this dog had a good habit.

When she continued feeding the dog, no matter how much it wanted to bark, it still wouldn"t bite her. This was a really good habit, to let her feel at ease to bully it.

Xian Guiying, who was sitting at the side, watched the woman and the dog having fun and couldn"t help but laugh. "Sister-in-law, what are you doing? This dog obviously thinks you"re playing with it."

Jiang Ruolan did not believe it at first, so she had to feed it a mouthful. She then recalled back when she and Jiang Yijun ran away from Jiang Family… At that time, both of them did not even have the right to eat this kind of creamy bread.

She stuffed the piece of bread again into the dog"s mouth, and it vomited again.

When Jiang Ruolan finally realized that this dog was actually playing a game with her, she paused for a moment. Then she suddenly realized that she might be too bored and that"s why she was arguing with a dog about such a thing.

Jiang Ruolan slapped its head, turned around, and fed it a piece of ham. It finally ate it, but it didn"t wag its tail at her.

The dog then rushed to Xian Guiying"s feet, obediently lying there without moving.

"F*ck! You ungrateful b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Once I fed you delicious food, you ran away!"

Not long after, Jiang Ruolan"s phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Xiong Ruogang.

Wasn"t this girl had been busy with her love affair lately, so how could she have the time to call her?

"Sis Jiang …" As soon as Xiong Ruogang"s soft, sweet, and greasy voice came out of the phone, Jiang Ruolan was suddenly numb to the point that her entire body started to tremble.

She never heard Xiong Ruogang talking with a sweet voice before, so this sudden change really shocked her.

"What is it? What do you want?"

"When did you get back to work? I really need your advice right now. Do you remember the guy I talked to you a while ago? He is really interested in me. I am considering whether I should agree to interact with him or not."

"I may not be able to return to work until tomorrow." If she told Xiong Ruogang that she would resign as soon as she returned, she wondered if this girl would cry like mad people.

"Tomorrow? All right, then I will make an appointment for dinner the day after tomorrow! Oh yes, Sis Jiang, let me tell you something. President Qin hasn"t come to the company for the past two days."

"So?"

"I mean, when you are at work, he will come by to see you. When you"re on leave, we can"t even see his shadow! What exactly is going on between you two?" Xiong Ruogang"s words were laced with hints of flirtation and teasing.

"Go back to work and stop gossiping!" The corner of Jiang Ruolan"s mouth twitched. She didn"t notice that Xian Guiying, who was sitting across from her, could hear the conversation because of the silent atmosphere.

When Jiang Ruolan put down the phone, she realized that Xian Guiying was holding a piece of bread and was staring at her. She didn"t eat it.
