Chapter 100 - Returned To F City IV (2/2)

After finishing her work, Jiang Ruolan went back to her bedroom and lay in the darkness. However, she couldn't sleep. Many images flashed in her mind, including what she said to Han Xuegang when they bumped into each other at the venue.

Jiang Ruolan recalled the scene of her getting to know Han Xuegang until they fell in love four years ago. Back then, their love was so pure and simple, yet it was so fragile that it couldn't even withstand a single blow.

Jiang Ruolan shook her head and tried to sleep.

Wednesday morning, it was raining heavily.

”Such heavy rain. You still want to go to the exhibition center?” Jiang Yijun asked for a leave of absence these two days and decided to accompany Jiang Ruolan at home. He drove his car to the exhibition center and sighed.

”It was an order from a superior, and I did not dare to disobey.” Jiang Ruolan forced a smile. ”It's good enough if you drive me to the north door of the exhibition center. I will probably be home late today. Don't wait for me.”

”Are you going to have lunch outside?”

”Yes.”

Jiang Yijun didn't say anything more. He drove her to the exhibition center. Then, he got out of the car and handed the umbrella to her.

Jiang Ruolan took the umbrella and hurried to the exhibition center.

Because she was running too fast, her shoes' heels suddenly collided with the slow-moving belt inside the door. She lost her balance, let out a cry, and threw herself onto the ground.

”Hey, miss, are you all right?” A security guard quickly went to support her. She hurriedly strengthened herself and smiled gratefully at the security guard. ”It's nothing; I'm fine. Thank you so much!”

The security guard smiled bashfully and did not say anything. He turned around and walked in another direction.

Jiang Ruolan looked at the direction the security guard was heading. She saw a few outstanding business elites from the other provinces walking towards the flowerbeds at the side. Every leader had security guards or female staff respectfully guarding them with umbrellas in hand.

Only Xian Zihao, who was wearing a black windbreaker, was walking on the left with an umbrella in his hand. At the same time, he covered the female staff's head next to him with an umbrella. It was a very courteous gesture.

Jiang Ruolan was looking from afar at the few figures left on the other side of the door. Her gaze was locked onto the tall and straight figure.

Everyone knew the prestige of the Xian Family and the status of the Xian Group in this country. Many people will sigh in awe at his appearance, but no one knew who he was.

And she knew.

For a moment, she felt a strange sense of pride in him.

Once again, he walked step by step, further away from her. Through the rain curtain, he might not have seen her standing near the north door at all.

Due to the heavy rain, today's exhibition was far less crowded than Monday's.

Jiang Ruolan quickly went to record the atmosphere at the exhibition center and took the opportunity to interview some leaders. The number of people at the exhibition center gradually decreased during the lunch break. She heard from the host that due to the weather, the evening fair was postponed. She packed up her stuff and left.

She thought the dinner would also be canceled, but before she could return to Jiang Yijun's place, the chief editor called her again, as if he were trying to push her to death.

9 PM, at the most famous hotel in F City, Oriental Hotel.

Jiang Ruolan knew that dinner organized by Director Lan was going to be luxurious. However, she didn't expect it to be so extravagant.
