Chapter 142 - Married To A Qin Family

Jiang Ruolan was embarra.s.sed, and she could only answer the call right in front of Xian Zihao. Before she could say anything, Qin Gengxin"s clear and bright voice came from the other side, "Did you get the message? Are you going to play a role where you pretend not to see text messages from this grandfather? Do you need me to repeat the message content for you?"

Jiang Ruolan rolled her eyes at the ceiling and silently cursed Qin Gengxin, who was getting more difficult to deal with. "No need! I saw it!"

"That"s good. Don"t forget, I will be back on Monday, the day after tomorrow. I"ll pick you up from your company."

"I--

"Don"t worry, you won"t work overtime that day." Qin Gengxin laughed and interrupted her. Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to go berserk, he laughed contentedly. "Don"t forget who your boss is ..."

Jiang Ruolan"s face darkened, "Do you think I"m bored? Even though I have free time, I will not accompany you to dinner. Why do you have to look for me?"

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw the eyebrows of someone who was still leaning against the door raise slightly.

Jiang Ruolan"s eyelids twitched.

On the other side, Qin Gengxin did not say anything. After a few seconds, Jiang Ruolan thought that her words were too hurtful, and just as she was about to apologize, a puzzled voice suddenly came from the other side, "Jiang Ruolan? Jiang Ruolan? Is the signal bad over there? Why did I not hear your voice?"

Jiang Ruolan was stunned and was about to say something when she heard Qin Gengxin continuously say "Hey" for a long time. She completely ignored Qin Gengxin"s reply and finally said directly, "There"s really something wrong with your phone"s signal. If there is nothing else, I"m hanging up."

*Crack.*

She hung up.

Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and looked at the darkened screen. Her heart was filled with hatred. Since when did Qin Gengxin learn to be perfectly shameless?!

Seeing her expression as if she had just eaten a yellow lotus, Xian Zihao smiled faintly but didn"t say anything.

Once again, Jiang Ruolan covered her head with the frozen towel. Her head hurt even more.

That night, Jiang Ruolan"s fever subsided, and her condition improved. Since the next day was Sunday, she was supervised by Xian Zihao to rest at home.

On that day, she either slept or went to the balcony to bask in the sun occasionally. Eventually, this serious illness got a lot better.

****

Monday.

After a week off, Jiang Ruolan finally returned to work. When she arrived at the company, she found that the number of people in the office had changed a lot. Apart from Xiong Ruogang, who was previously appointed as her a.s.sistant, many of her other colleagues have been transferred.

"Editor Jiang."

When Jiang Ruolan entered the office, some new people in the office greeted her warmly. After all, she was the Business Reporting Department editor and was a target of their flattery. Furthermore, her ident.i.ty had become a common secret in the company, so Jiang Ruolan was already used by this behavior.

"Sis Jiang ~" Xiong Ruogang suddenly slipped to her side, bent down and whispered into her ear, "I heard that the straight haired girl sitting in the back seat is our Director Zhang"s new girlfriend. We need to talk with her!"

Jiang Ruolan turned around to look at the person Xiong Ruogang was talking about. Seeing that it was an ordinary looking young girl with an outrageously good figure, she indifferently replied to Xiong Ruogang, "I understand, go back and do your job. I haven"t been here for a week, send me the important report from last week."

"Oh, okay." Xiong Ruogang quickly turned around and retreated.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ruolan pulled Xiong Ruogang with her to investigate some news. Around 3 pm, the two of them were taking pictures of flower beds under flagpoles in a square to the city"s east.

Xiong Ruogang worked very hard and was very ambitious. She wanted to learn everything by herself, so Jiang Ruolan gave her the filming job. She went to the roadside shop and bought two bottles of water.

As Jiang Ruolan was about to leave and bring the water back to Xiong Ruogang. a small figure suddenly appeared in her view.

Jiang Ruolan didn"t particularly like children. If she did, she liked the kind of cute and obedient children who didn"t cry or make a ruckus, and she usually would stay away from the children who often cried.

Seeing the little girl giggling as if she was having fun, Jiang Ruolan stopped her steps and looked in that direction with a smile.

"Haha ~ Mommy, where are you going? Mummy ~~" The little girl ran around the flower bed, but she could not find where her mother hid. "Mommy, come out … Heh heh … Mommy, come out quickly."

"Hahaha... Mommy... Mommy... Come out."

Jiang Ruolan turned around and saw a figure behind the bus stop not far away that seemed to be hiding there. She couldn"t help but smile and glanced at the little girl again. Suddenly, her expression froze.

She only saw the little girl"s side face a moment ago, but now that she saw it, she realized that she seemed to have seen this little girl"s face somewhere before.

She looked familiar, but Jiang Ruolan was unable to recall where she had seen it.

Xiong Ruogang proudly handed the camera in her hand to Jiang Ruolan. "Sis Jiang, see how I"m doing? Once we go back, we should be able to report it directly, right?"

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and took the camera. She flipped through the pictures one by one. "Not bad. You"ve become more and more professional. If you can write a press release on the first try, then you should leave the university. You can learn in your internship now."

"That"s right!"

When Xiong Ruogang saw the mineral water bottle in Jiang Ruolan"s hand, she took it and drank two gulps from it.

Jiang Ruolan then took the opportunity to look back at the flower bed, but she couldn"t see the little girl anymore. She didn"t see the two figures behind the bus stop. Since she couldn"t see their faces clearly, she didn"t take the little girl"s face too seriously.

When Jiang Ruolan left the company after work, she couldn"t help but roll her eyes when she saw the red Ferrari parked outside the entrance.

d.a.m.n it, Qin Gengxin! He was so persistent!

There was no way for her to cross the road and ride the taxi. It wasn"t a good idea to go around and pretend not to see his car, so Jiang Ruolan walked towards the car and knocked on the window. The car window did not go down, but the door opened from the inside.

"Get in the car ~ ~" Qin Gengxin glanced at her and put one hand on the steering wheel. He was in a good mood.

It was obvious Qin Gengxin didn"t want to give her a chance to run away on purpose, and that"s why he parked his car in front of the entrance.

Jiang Ruolan felt her colleague"s gaze on her, and she didn"t have another choice other than getting in.

As soon as the door was closed, the red Ferrari sped away from the company"s entrance, heading for the wide road and speeding steadily through the traffic.

Before the two of them could speak, Qin Gengxin"s phone rang. He answered the call and said expressionlessly, "Don"t thank me, if it weren"t for the child, I wouldn"t have helped you this time. You better take care of yourself, I don"t want to care too much about your matters."

"The medicine was edible. If you want to see him, think of a way to deal with this yourself."

With that said, Qin Gengxin hung up the phone. Obviously, he was very rude to the person on the other side of the phone.

It was rare to see Qin Gengxin so cold and impatient with someone.

"Why did you come back after only a week in the United States?" Jiang Ruolan knew that if she did not accompany him to dinner tonight, this naughty boy would not let her go, so she asked softly.

However, she really did not want to affect Qin Gengxin"s and Xian Zihao""s brotherly relationship just because of her.

Although she did not think much of herself, she still thought it was better to manage this matter quickly than to let it worsen.

Jiang Ruolan wanted to calm things down as much as possible.

"I haven"t gotten my hands on my wife yet, how can I not come back?" Qin Gengxin didn"t even spare her a glance as he looked at the traffic ahead. His fingers were casually flicking on the steering wheel.

"Is there anything important in America?" She changed the subject.

"It"s nothing. A big client with a bad temper. No one can take care of him except me. This time, when I went back, I only took care of a 1 billion dollar contract."

"A billion? Dollar? Looking at how easy it is for you, isn"t this just a drop in the bucket for your Qin"s current flow? Tsk, tsk. You really made us who have to work hard for a month and get paid a few thousand yuan, jealous."

"I don"t actually have a lot of money, and liquidity is not a fixed a.s.set. If you don"t mind, why don"t you marry me? Don"t mention a few thousand a month, even if you spend several thousand a day, I can still support you!"

Qin Gengxin stopped his car at the traffic light and smiled at Jiang Ruolan. His peach eyes raised. He then leaned over and placed his arm on Jiang Ruolan"s shoulder. "Are you going to consider it? Married to a Qin Family?"
