Chapter 67:Your Father Bullied Me (1/2)
”Suddenly, I found something.” His expression did not change as he bit his lip lightly. ”When you are with me, you are always hesitant to speak. If there is something you want to say, you can say it out loud. Why do you have to be so scared?”
Jiang Ruolan's long eyelashes trembled, and the faint orange light from the streetlights fell on her small, white face. The shadow of his long, thick eyelashes almost covered her small face. She said nothing.
When she was rational, she will always be careful with her words. Xian Zihao suddenly felt that her action was rather pitiful.
It wasn't that she wasn't willful, but Jiang Ruolan often restrained her desires and emotions beneath the surface of her composure, though sometimes she would fail.
Just like how she cursed when she was forced into a corner, her arrogance was like a hedgehog, and her angry expression when facing Qin Gengxin made her gritted her teeth in anger.
Xian Zihao frowned slightly. He suddenly did not like the way Jiang Ruolan deliberately hid her behavior in front of him.
Actually, Jiang Ruolan was fine. She actually wanted to ask Xian Zihao if he can accompany her to the engagement party of Han Xuegang and Ling Fei'er.
However, this thought was abruptly dispelled by her. She felt a little amused. For what reason should Xian Zihao accompany her to an engagement party?
Jiang Ruolan pursued her lips as she turned her head to look at the man who started driving the car after the green light came on. His driving was still elegant and calm, and his gaze had turned cold.
It was evident that he was not very patient with her.
Jiang Ruolan lowered her eyes to cover the doubts and anticipations that were radiating in her eyes. She almost opened her mouth for a moment, but in the end, she swallowed her words again.
There was still time before the engagement party, and maybe she could think of a better way than to ask for help from anyone.
When they arrived at Greenville Residence, it was late at night. Jiang Ruolan thanked him and rushed out of the car, but she did not expect Xian Zihao to enter her house.
She stopped and looked back at him.
Xian Zihao didn't seem to notice her expression. He smiled lightly and said, ”Don't talk about who owns this place right now. Even though this is my house, you should still invite me in after I send you back, right?”
”It's too late. Do you still have time to go in and drink water?” Jiang Ruolan's eyes widened in disbelief.
”If you invite me, of course I will not refuse.” Xian Zihao smiled innocently as he leaned back in his car and tilted his head to look at her.
Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. Her instincts told her that Xian Zihao can be reasonable when doing shameless things. She bit her lip and entered the password for her apartment.
As soon as she stepped in, she was stopped by a figure in the living room.
”Mom? Why are you here?”
Mom?
Jiang Ruolan froze as the key in her hand fell to the floor with a clatter.
As soon as the middle-aged woman saw Xian Zihao, she cried. Xian Zihao sat next to her, handing her a tissue.
