Chapter 127 - We Are Not Ignorant Children (1/2)

Xian Zihao's beautiful eyebrows rose slightly, and his voice was light and soothing. ”Come here.”

Jiang Ruolan didn't move. Xian Zihao was holding her hand, and the distance between them now was about a step.

”I told you to come here.” Xian Zihao patiently coaxed her.

Jiang Ruolan did not move, her eyes staring straight at his face. ”Not going.”

Xian Zihao immediately smiled. His smile was gentle. Looking at Jiang Ruolan's face full of stubbornness and mischievousness, Xian Zihao finally smiled with some indulgence and helplessness. ”Okay, you win.”

His hand on Jiang Ruolan's wrist slowly pulled her into his embrace once again. Xian Zihao wrapped his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly. He bent his head and kissed her tightly, pursed lips.

Jiang Ruolan hurriedly took a step back to avoid him. ”I don't need you to comfort me like this, and I--”

Before she could finish her words, Xian Zihao frowned and scooped her up, ”Stop lying to yourself. Jiang Ruolan, we are not ignorant children! You know very well why I kissed you!”

Xian Zihao pressed Jiang Ruolan against the telephone pole under the streetlamp and once more covered her mouth with his.

Jiang Ruolan: ”....”

The intense kiss gradually made her heart tremble. His warm palms slowly caressed her cheeks. It was as if Xian Zihao was bewitching her and the walls in her heart collapsed little by little.

”Why?” Jiang Ruolan whispered as she held her breath, panting in Xian Zihao's arms.

Xian Zihao held Jiang Ruolan's face with his hands, and his gaze on her was gentle. ”You really don't know?”

Jiang Ruolan raised her head and looked at the specks of dark light in Xian Zihao's eyes.

Yes, she didn't know.

She didn't know why he suddenly wanted to bring her with him to this important meeting.She didn't know why he would ask her if she was hungry when he was so busy at night.

She didn't know why he intentionally took her out for a midnight snack and remembered that she loved Sichuan food.

She didn't know why he would accompany her to the mall to satisfy her small vanity as a woman.

However, she knew that he definitely did not have the leisure to coax someone who had nothing to do with him, nor did he have the time to accompany someone who had nothing to do with him.

Even more so, he would not protect and defend her against the Jiang Family at an important banquet where political leaders gathered with business associates.

When Xian Zihao personally brought her the platinum wedding ring that night, she wanted to ask why, but after a long time of not finding a chance, she suddenly realized that she had long been aware of it, even without asking.

Xian Zihao was right. They were not young and ignorant children. Emotional matters did not need so many vows and so-called passionate love.
