Chapter 78 - Be Careful III (2/2)
Since Zhan An had already spoken, Xian Zihao naturally couldn't say anything more. He nodded and climbed the stairs to the study room to handle some official matters.
”Mom, tomorrow, I will go with you for skin treatment!” Seeing Xian Zihao go upstairs, Cui Liuxian did not cling to him. Instead, she turned to the only person in the family who loved her and said with a smile. ”You haven't been back in a long time. I know there is a very good spa in the city!”
”Child, only you can make your godmother happy and know what she likes!” Zhan An smiled lovingly.
”Of course, I've always been by your side since I was little. I always pay attention to what you like, and I also want to spend my whole life with Zihao to filial piety!”
Zhan An was overjoyed. ”Oh, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!”
As the two of them chatted, Jiang Ruolan could no longer sit still in the master bedroom. She wanted to take a shower and sleep. As she came out of the bedroom, she saw Cui Liuxian and Zhan An laughing merrily like a mother and daughter.
”Ruolan, is your body unwell?” Zhan An asked anxiously when she saw her coming out of the bedroom.
”It's nothing, I just caught a small cold.” Jiang Ruolan smiled. Then, she smiled at Cui Liuxian, who behaved in a very proper manner.
”You have to take good care of yourself. Since you have just taken medicine, you should rest early.”
”I will sleep after the shower. Mom, quickly adjust your time difference. Otherwise, sleeping late like this will not be good for your body too.”
”I know. Quickly take a shower. It's not good to take a shower late at night. If your cold still doesn't go down, I will ask Zihao to find an extra blanket and take it to the room later.”
”Ugh, no! There's no need …” Jiang Ruolan immediately lowered her head, smiling shyly as she walked towards the bathroom.
Once the bathroom door was closed, the noise outside could no longer be clearly heard.

Two hours later --
In the study room on the second floor.
While Xian Zihao was checking some documents that had been sent by the Bureau of Lands, his mobile phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the caller and casually answered it but before he could say anything, a soft and cautious voice came from the other side, ”Zihao, can you not be so distant to me?”
He sighed. ”Marriage is not child's play, Liuxian.”
”But I know you don't love her! I know you very well. You never knew her and I also know you never came back here after you got married. You don't like her at all, so why must you treat me like this?! Can't you treat me like you did before?”
”Don't always rely on the past. You're the same as Guiying. Of course, there will be love and concern.”
”But you treated Jiang Ruolan so well. I know she wasn't sick at all. Both of you were just using this reason to avoid me!”
”It's good that you understand.” Xian Zihao did not elaborate further. His eyes were still focused on the computer screen, and tapped on the mouse button.
”Grandpa will not agree. You knew better what will happen if you bring her home! She will not be accepted! Grandpa and dad don't like her! Why do you still want to make them angry!”
Xian Zihao eyebrows gradually closed.
He did not reply to her question. He was looking at the document on the screen intensely.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed and his expression turned cold.
The Bureau of Land Control actually dared to play a word game with him! They wanted to use this as an excuse! He put the phone on his neck, tilted his head and held the phone.
On the other side, Cui Liuxian heard the sound of the keyboard, and she finally choked with sobs. ”Zihao..”
”All right, rest early.” Without waiting for her to respond, he suddenly hung up the phone and glared at the documents on the screen. Then, his hand returned to the keyboard.
