Chapter 77 - Be Careful II (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan was immediately stunned by his sudden movement.
As the window closed, Xian Zihao's right hand held the steering wheel again. There was no change in his expression. It was as if the cold feeling he had released at that moment had disappeared without a trace.
Such a man with such a strong sense of self-control and hidden emotions …
So frightening.
Jiang Ruolan looked at him like that for so long, until she saw a red light at the intersection. The car slowly stopped. Xian Zihao look at her indifferently, ”What do you want to eat?”
”Ah? haven't thought about it yet.” Jiang Ruolan hurriedly retracted her gaze and looked straight ahead.
”Then hurry up and think about it.” Xian Zihao acted as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ruolan was looking at the traffic ahead of her but her mind was in a bit of a mess.
The disk seemed to have been in his folder for a long time, maybe he had forgotten what was in it. But why was there only the song ”Comprehension” on the disc? That song was clearly so sad and helpless.
She suddenly remembered what Xian Zihao had said to her outside the Bureau of Civil Affairs. If she can't love him, it will be the same for everyone.
What kind of woman could be so loved by Xian Zihao? And what kind of woman can hurt a man like that?
She couldn't help but turn her head to peek at him again.
It was getting dark, and the main road of H City was already lit up, casting a faint shadow on the side of his handsome face.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small hot pot with Sichuan cuisine by the side of the road.
”Why not choose this one? Can you eat a spicy dish?” Jiang Ruolan pointed towards the stall.
Xian Zihao glanced in the direction she pointed, and without saying anything, he drove the car to the intersection and turned around to head towards the stall. The car stopped in front of the door.
Jiang Ruolan got out of the car first.
”Are you sure you can eat spicy dishes?” As the two of them entered, Jiang Ruolan asked again, a little worried.
Xian Zihao casually looked at her with a pair of eyes that were neither warm nor cold. She immediately stopped asking and became angry. She thought, 'since you don't want to be polite, then I won't be polite with you.'
”Welcome, may I know how many people are dining?”
Jiang Ruolan said, ”Two people.” The waiter led them to the seats inside.
They both walked through the crowded tables and into the room. Seeing that there were still empty seats, she smiled while saying, ”Looks like the food in this stall is pretty good, so many customers.”
Xian Zihao said nothing and just sat down. He took the menu from the waiter and placed it by his side without looking at it. ”If you like it, order it yourself.”
Seeing that he was not used to the place, Jiang Ruolan quickly sat down. She lowered her head to open the menu and began to look at the list of food one by one.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Xian Zihao. ”Would you like to eat vegetables or meat? Lamb or beef? Do you want to eat duck intestines?”
”Vegetable.”
”Oh.” She looked at the menu again and ticked the food she wanted to order.
After looking at the menu carefully, she handed the menu back to him. ”Look, is there anything else you want to add? I did not order too much food.”
Xian Zihao took the menu without looking at it and handed it to the waiter.
”What would you like to drink?” the waiter asked.
”Mineral water.”
”Mineral water.”
They both talked at the same time.
Jiang Ruolan immediately looked at him. Xian Zihao also cast a look at her.
”Sure, please wait a moment.” The waiter took the menu and left. At the same time, the other waiter brought the bottom pot she ordered. In less than a minute, a boiling heat spread between the two of them.
”I'm afraid you're not used to the food here.” Jiang Ruolan took a bottle of mineral water from the waiter and opened the lid as she spoke.
Xian Zihao raised his brows. ”What do you mean?”
