Chapter 78 - Be Careful III (1/2)

What can Jiang Ruolan say? Moreover, she could see remorse and helplessness in Zhan An's eyes. She knew that Zhan An also doted on her goddaughter, she pursed her lips and said, ”Why would I mind? You..”

Originally … ”A family.”

Cui Liuxian suddenly smiled at her., ”Sister Lan, I will probably bother you more in the future.”

”Huh, what do you mean by disturbing?” Jiang Ruolan felt that her (Cui Liuxian) acting skills were very good. Although she and Xian Zihao had no relationship, how can she not see Cui Liuxian's clear motives?

Jiang Ruolan did not know whether she should like her or she should recognize her position in this family. She retreated to her bedroom to made room for the three of them to spend their time together.

”Wait.” Xian Zihao suddenly called out to her.

Jiang Ruolan turned and saw him walking towards her. Xian Zihao suddenly raised his hand and placed it on her forehead. ”Didn't you say you weren't feeling well when you were on the road? Looks like you have a fever. Hurry up and take medicine.” As he spoke to her, he placed his arm around her waist and pushed her stiff body towards the master bedroom.

Jiang Ruolan stared at his face, which was as beautiful as nature, with suspicion in her eyes. Xian Zihao brought her into the room and pushed her out of sight. Then he put his hand down and started rummaging through the drawers.

”What are you doing?” she whispered in confusion.

He simply turned his head to the side and glanced at her without saying a word.

Jiang Ruolan came to a realization. Did he do all this to made Cui Liuxian retreat? He clearly said that this marriage was just to shut the people's mouth and had nothing to do with love, but even so, he still respected this marriage. At the very least, wouldn't it make things difficult if there was a third party between them?

She quietly watched him close the drawer. She felt a bit funny, but at the same time, she felt touched.

Was Xian Zihao defending her?

Even if he was being kind to her, she had truly accepted his kindness in her heart.

Jiang Ruolan smiled at him from the bottom of her heart.

Xian Zihao closed the drawer again and turned to look at her casually. ”The Old Master affirmed the marriage between Cui Liuxian and me. You must be prepared when we go to Xian Mansion this weekend.”

Jiang Ruolan nodded. ”I know.”

His calm gaze lingered on her face, then he walked out.

”Ruolan has a fever? Is it serious? Does she need to go to the hospital?” Zhan An's concerned voice came from the living room.

”It's not a serious fever, just let her rest early today.” Xian Zihao said indifferently, as he looked at Cui Liuxian, ”How's grandpa's health?”

Cui Liuxian had been standing there in a daze the entire time. When she heard Xian Zihao talk to her, she immediately raised her head and a sweet smile quickly appeared in her seemingly well-trained eyes. ”Grandpa's body is fine, but he really missed you. Zihao, are you going back at the Mid-Autumn Festival this weekend?”

Seeing him nod, Cui Liuxian immediately became happy. ”Really? Then I must tell grandpa about this good news sooner!”

”Mm, tell the old man that Ruolan will come with me too. We will both spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.”

The smile in Cui Liuxian's eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye. She looked at Xian Zihao in shock, but when she saw his calm expression, she couldn't help but uttered a low ”oh”.

”It's a little late. You better go back. Since the old man likes you, then don't stay outside too long and go home earlier.” Xian Zihao said softly.

”I want to stay here with mom for a few more days.” Cui Liuxian approached the silent Zhan An. She seemed to have found the strongest reason to used and was brimming with smiles.

”This child …” Zhan An smiled. She understood that this was not a good idea, but when she saw her (Cui Liuxian) pained smile, she didn't have the heart to refuse her.

Zhan An glanced at Xian Zihao and saw he was still calm. ”Zihao, didn't Ruolan just arrive at H City recently? She definitely doesn't have many friends here. Liuxian is the same age as her, so maybe they will be a good friend once they get to know each other.”

Xian Zihao immediately wanted to object, but Cui Liuxian cut him and hurriedly said, ”That's right. Sister Lan is so easygoing. We will definitely get along well!”

Jiang Ruolan who was in the bedroom shivered for no reason.

Good friend?

Why she felt that it was like the scene of the first wife and concubine being in the same room, outside they enjoying time together but inside, they wanted to stab each other.
