Chapter 346 - Miss Zhou Really Cares About You

As Jiang Ruolan said that, she took the flower and signed her name. Once the delivery guy left, she didn"t even look at Zhou Shufen, but took the card from the flowers and opened it.

"With all these trivial matters at hand, I was unable to visit you in time. I hope you will take care of your body and treat yourself well."

The signature was Qin Gengxin"s.

His calligraphy was written boldly and strongly, just like Xian Zihao"s calligraphy.

Qin Gengxin rarely appeared in front of her recently because of Xian Guiying, but looking at these 199 tulips ..

Yellow tulip means treasure.

Jiang Ruolan held the fragrant card in her hand and lifted her lips slightly.

Not long after, Xian Zihao came back. The moment the ward door was opened, Zhou Shufen immediately looked at him.

Xian Zihao, on the other hand, didn"t spare her a glance. He smiled brightly at Jiang Ruolan when their gaze met and walked over to her side. When he saw the bouquet flower, he asked, "Who sent the flowers?"

"Qin Gengxin." Jiang Ruolan did not bother to hide his ident.i.ty and immediately handed the card in her hand to him with a smile.

Xian Zihao took the card and glanced at it. He seemed to have thought of Qin Gengxin"s so-called trouble. He only looked at it for a moment and then put the card to the side. "He is very considerate, knowing that the grandfather is very old-fashioned, and also because it"s inconvenient for him to come and see you right now. He doesn"t want to bring you any trouble."

"I know." Jiang Ruolan"s lips curved into a smile as she watched Xian Zihao casually place the bouquet on the bedside table.

"Zihao, you were in Shanghai a while ago. Aren"t you busy?" Zhou Shufen suddenly asked.

Xian Zihao paused before glancing at Zhou Shufen. Then he smiled politely. "It"s all a matter of business. I"m not too busy."

Hearing his polite words, Zhou Shufen was silent for a moment before she stared at his face, seemingly wanting to find a crack in his expression.

Zhou Shufen"s restraint was not due to politeness towards Jiang Ruolan. After what had happened at the wedding, the relationship between both of them could be considered as having broken off. The peace was only on the surface.

Jiang Ruolan didn"t say anything, of course, because at the same time Xian Zihao replied to Zhou Shufen"s question, he held her hand on the edge of the blanket. He gradually tightened his grip. He was rea.s.suring her, letting her know his choice.

He didn"t do this on purpose, but Zhou Shufen was the one who was very concerned with his every action. Jiang Ruolan naturally saw it, but she didn"t seem to have a bad mood, and instead showed a beautiful smile.

"It"s rare for me to be able to return home. I originally wanted to go to Shanghai for a walk, but Xiaoyi"s body is no longer suitable for traveling. What a pity."

Xian Zihao chuckled. "Miss Zhou, who used to see American cities, will actually be attracted to Shanghai? I should feel deeply honored for my compatriots."

Zhou Shufen stiffened when she heard his half-polite words. She was about to say something else.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and a.s.sistant Bai walked in.

a.s.sistant Bai first gave Jiang Ruolan a caring and respectful nod, then she politely nodded to Zhou Shufen. After that, a.s.sistant Bai walked over to Xian Zihao"s side, stood next to him, and whispered something to him.

They were talking about some official business. Xian Zihao raised his hand and pointed towards the door while casually asking, "Where"s your a.s.sistant?"

a.s.sistant Bai then whispered a few more sentences. Xian Zihao then said, "Go and bring it in."

Afterward, a.s.sistant Bai walked out. Not long later, she brought in some doc.u.ments that were sealed and handed them to Xian Zihao.

"Miss Jiang, I came to hand over some urgent doc.u.ments to President Xian. I was in a hurry and didn"t even have time to buy fruit. Please don"t take it to the heart. I will redeem it the next time I come."

Jiang Ruolan glared at her and joked, "Then you have to buy the most expensive one. I"m the pickiest one!"

Knowing Jiang Ruolan"s personality, a.s.sistant Bai smiled, "Sure, sure. Since Miss Jiang asked, how can I, her subordinates, dare to disobey? I will bring the best fruit when I come tomorrow."

"Smooth talker." Jiang Ruolan teased her.

When a.s.sistant Bai left, Xian Zihao placed the doc.u.ments on the sofa not far from her bed. As this was a VIP ward, although there were two beds in this ward, there was still a sofa table and a small washroom.

Seeing that Xian Zihao had matters to attend, Zhou Shufen, who was originally there, did not say anything else. When she turned around and returned to Xiaoyi"s bed, her expression became thoughtful.

Xian Zihao took good care of Jiang Ruolan until she fell asleep. It wasn"t even night yet. Jiang Ruolan only slept for an hour before waking up. When she opened her eyes, she saw Xian Zihao was busy checking the doc.u.ments.

"Zihao, you really don"t have to accompany me. Don"t postpone your job because of this."

Xian Zihao lifted his eyes. "You"re awake?"

Jiang Ruolan sat up and was about to take a gla.s.s of water for him when she heard footsteps across the bed. She looked up and saw Zhou Shufen pour hot water into a paper cup and place the cup on the table next to Xian Zihao.

"After returning from a business trip, you don"t stop to rest even for a moment, right? Drink this water first, and be careful with the heat." Zhou Shufen"s tone was not aggressive and even filled with heartache and understanding as she spoke softly.

This finally made Xian Zihao turn his head to look at her. Zhou Shufen smiled brightly but a little dully. "Zihao, don"t let yourself get too tired. Your health is very important."

Xian Zihao looked at Zhou Shufen. In the end, a layer of indifference appeared in his black eyes. "Thank you."

Seeing his tired expression, Zhou Shufen did not feel disappointed with his calm and polite tone. She just smiled and left the ward. Since the operation, Xiaoyi was very energetic and would sleep for a long time. When Jiang Ruolan saw Zhou Shufen left the ward, she didn"t know what she (Zhou Shufen) was going to do.

Jiang Ruolan hugged her blanket and looked at Xian Zihao with a smile. After being stared at for a long time, Xian Zihao finally shifted his gaze away from the doc.u.ment in his hand and glanced at her. "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Ruolan raised her eyebrow and sighed deliberately. "Miss Zhou really cares about you."

Xian Zihao glanced at her indifferently. After a while, he shook his head and said with a chuckle, "So bitter."

Jiang Ruolan said with a frown, "What I said was the truth."

Xian Zihao put down the doc.u.ment and walked over to sit on the edge of her bed. He placed his hand on her shoulder, then pulled her into his arms, "When I first married you, why didn"t I notice that you are actually a jar of vinegar. Do you really think I can"t see your weird smile?"

Jiang Ruolan took advantage of the situation to hug his waist. She placed her chin on his shoulder and widened her eyes to see the side of his handsome face that was only a few inches from her. "What are you talking about? I was possessed by our baby. Our baby said ..." Jiang Ruolan pinched her throat and imitated the child"s tone. "Daddy is a treasure, hard to find if he is lost."

Xian Zihao smiled lightly and hugged her shoulders. He then said seriously, "The relationship between her and me is already a thing of the past. Now, to me, the most important thing is you and our child." His hands gently covered her stomach, which was getting bigger, and his eyes were filled with determination and tenderness.

Jiang Ruolan hugged him back, but her lips moved. She wanted to ask something, but she was also considering whether she should ask. This matter has become a big knot in her heart.

As if noticing her doubts, Xian Zihao raised her chin and asked with a smile, "What do you want to ask?"

She really couldn"t hide anything from him.

Jiang Ruolan"s mouth moved again, but she hesitated for a moment. She looked towards the ward door in the blink of an eye. Seeing that no one was entering, she calmly asked, "At Greenville Residence, a small room under the stairs that I had never opened before ..."

Her voice was slow, and she watched Xian Zihao"s expression. Seeing the faint movement between his eyebrows, Jiang Ruolan immediately felt calm. However, since she asked, she could only end the question and continue, "Is it related to Zhou Shufen?"

However, just as she asked the latter half of the question, his slightly moving brows relaxed again. He couldn"t help but smile. "You wanted to ask these questions a long time ago, didn"t you?"
