Chapter 70:Are You Sure Its Edible? (1/2)
Exactly at 6 am, the digital clock on the bedside table vibrates. When Jiang Ruolan opened her eyes, she found that her body was no longer as cold as it used to be.
There was a warm source of heat next to her. Jiang Ruolan suddenly turned her head and saw that Xian Zihao was sleeping quietly beside her.
His calm face added a touch of serenity and beauty to himself. It was only at this moment, Jiang Ruolan finally believed that this extraordinary man was indeed her husband.
Seeing that he was still sleeping, she carefully get up. Because she was worried that she would share a bed with Xian Zihao, she didn't change her office clothes last night.
Jiang Ruolan quietly got out of bed and walking out of the room.
She came back late last night, and also because she needs to sleep in the same bed with Xian Zihao, Jiang Ruolan deliberately did not take a shower.
She's like those women on TV who can shower even when they shared the same room as men.
Since Jiang Ruolan didn't take a shower last night, her body felt sticky. She hurried to the cloakroom on the second floor to pick up a set of clean clothes and then rushed to the bathroom.
After taking a shower, she straightened the wrinkles on her clothes and opened the bathroom door. She was surprised to hear a noise coming from the kitchen.
Jiang Ruolan quickly walked to the kitchen and saw Zhan An, wearing an apron she had bought at a nearby store, cutting carrots.
”Why did you get up so early?” Zhan An looked at Jiang Ruolan with a smile. ”I think you will be like Guiying, who likes to lie in bed lazily. She will not wake up until 9 o'clock. Go wake up Zihao. In about ten minutes, we can have breakfast together.”
”Mom, how can I let you prepare breakfast? Let me do it!” Jiang Ruolan walked hurriedly and took the knife from Zhan An's hand.
”No need! I love doing this!” Zhan An glanced at her with a smile. ”Even though there are a lot of servants at Xian Mansion, I always do my job on my own. I have hands and feet, so I don't need help from anyone else.”
Jiang Ruolan wanted to say something, but when she saw Zhan An glared at her, she stopped.
When she came out of the kitchen, she was surprised to see Xian Zihao standing at the kitchen's outside door. He casually adjusted the bathrobe and walked past her while giving her an indifferent look. ”Mom, what are you doing?”
”Make a sumptuous breakfast for my son and daughter-in-law. Healthy beef, carrots, and porridge.” Zhan An put sliced carrots into the rice cooker.
Jiang Ruolan immediately cringed. She stared at the vast size of the carrot pieces and the pot of rice in Zhan An's hand. It was like waiting for a disaster to happen.
Xian Zihao tilted his head and looked at the mess in the kitchen. ”Are you sure this breakfast is edible?”
”Of course! Go take a shower. Later we can have breakfast together.” Zhan Ann said while looking at the two of them who were still standing outside the door.
She scolded Xian Zihao, who was laughing like a fox. ”I have taken care of your sister abroad for many years. Has your sister ever died from eating my food?”
Xian Zihao just smiled and said nothing. He turned and entered the bathroom.
Jiang Ruolan watched Zhan An cooking silently. Zhan An closed the rice cooker with its lid, but she forgot to set the timer and then started to clean the dishes.
Jiang Ruolan quietly entered the kitchen and adjusted the timer.
Zhan An suddenly turned around and frowned when she saw Jiang Ruolan. ”What are you doing here?”
”Uh...Mom, let me help you!”
”No need! I'll do it myself! ” Zhan An insisted, gesturing for Jiang Ruolan to wait outside.
Jiang Ruolan obeyed but as she walked out, she suddenly smelled a burnt porridge.
She hesitantly turned her head to look at Zhan An, who looked very busy and happy, then left the kitchen with an annoyed expression.
The bathroom door was not closed. From her angel, she could clearly saw Xian Zihao standing there. There was white foam on his chin and a razor in his hand. He's skillfully and slowly shaved his face.
At that moment, Jiang Ruolan didn't know how to explain her feelings. Her numb heart was suddenly beating faster and she couldn't tell what that feeling felt like.
A man who can seduce a woman in the early morning really deserves his reputation. No matter how strong his mental perseverance, Jiang Ruolan will definitely feel attracted.
As she reflected on what had happened between the two of them last night, an indescribable warmth appeared on her face.
She quickly went into the bedroom and tidied up the blankets. When she picked up the blanket, she could smell the unique scent that only belonged to Xian Zihao. It was a pleasant scent.
Jiang Ruolan could not refrain from sniffing the blanket again.
As she was doing this, Zhan An's voice came from outside, calling them to eat. Jiang Ruolan quickly made the bed and left.
When she arrived at the dining room, Zhan An was already sitting at the table. She smiled at her, ”Today, you have to go to work early right? Then come and eat.”
”Thanks mom.” Under Zhan An's expectant gaze, Jiang Ruolan sat at the table and Xian Zihao entered at the same time.
Xian Zihao was wearing a light brown casual shirt. The belt around his waist looked expensive and it's from a very nice leather.
He looks very handsome.
He first glanced at Zhan An, who was eagerly waiting for him to sit down and then glanced at Jiang Ruolan lightly.
As soon as he looked at her, Jiang Ruolan's eyes were wide open, and her heart was beating wildly.
'Damn it! Jiang Ruolan, you're an idiot! It turned out you were just like other women out there, easily bewitched by his face!! If your emotions can be shifted so easily, then what was the difference between you and Han Xuegang?!'
Jiang Ruolan secretly warned herself to stay calmed and ignore Xian Zihao's gaze. She quietly took a deep breath, accepting that today was a very strange morning for her.
She scooped porridge for Zhan An, then took Xian Zihao's bowl and scooped the porridge into his bowl as well.
”Mom, you've been busy all morning. Hurry and eat, don't wait for us.”
”All right. Zihao, hurry up and eat!” Zhan An smiled as she took the spoon and distributed the side dishes into their bowls.
Xian Zihao glanced at the porridge and the dumplings on the table.
”I found this dumpling in the fridge. It was frozen. I saw that this was your favorite vegetarian dumpling, so I cooked some. It was great to eat with this porridge.” Zhan An pushed the plate of dumplings to his side.
Xian Zihao was obviously being pampered by his mother, and Jiang Ruolan was secretly envious of him. However, when she caught a glimpse of his mouth twitching, she couldn't help but ask softly, ”Why aren't you eating?”
Xian Zihao glanced at the bowl in front of Jiang Ruolan. A trace of teasing flashed across his eyes. He looked at Zhan An and asked, ”Are you sure it is really edible?”
Jiang Ruolan had noticed that the porridge did not taste good, but she just kept quiet. Lowering her head to take a sip, she suddenly heard what Xian Zihao had said and slowly raised her head to look at Zhan An before turning back to look at him.
”Zihao!” Zhan An immediately put down her spoon and glared at her bratty son. ”How many years since have you been eating something made by your mother?”
”Mm ...?” Xian Zihao raised an eyebrow, pretending to think hard. He took the spoon and casually stirred the porridge in his bowl with a smile. ”Maybe it's been more than ten years. But mom, remembered that year when you ran into the kitchen to cook something for us? The stuff you made caused your family to vomit and had diarrhea for almost a week. Guiying even admitted to the hospital at that time, almost losing half her life due to food poisoning!”
*Putong~~*
The spoon in Jiang Ruolan's hand fell into the bowl.
