Chapter 131 - Her Trust Had Instantly Turned Into A Joke (1/2)

For a moment, Jiang Ruolan felt as if she were drifting by the water, longing for all the good things but also fearing the hidden dangers. She never thought she and Xian Zihao would be like this for the rest of her life. A marriage without love...

But Jiang Ruolan was also just a woman. She needed to be doted on and cared for … Even though she had once said that she didn't need those things, Xian Zihao was like the softest tentacle that drilled into her heart bit by bit.

Jiang Ruolan didn't know what was going on.

It was a strange feeling of happiness, but also a terrifying one.

Perhaps it was the best way for them to get married. She could not see through Xian Zihao's heart and did not know that his feelings for her had become more useful, but the most frightening thing was that she actually fell in love with him in just one night, as if it was love at first sight.

Jiang Ruolan, who didn't have any strong feelings for Xian Zihao, was actually driven by his meridians' warmth, almost to the point of completely eliminating all her rationality.

****

It was 7 in the evening, and Jiang Ruolan was really hungry. Although the food in this hotel tasted good, she wanted to eat something else, such as the snacks on the street.

Furthermore, the northern city of G City sells a lot of authentic snacks. It was not easy for her to return to G City. Even if she didn't have any good memories here, eating snacks were still quite attractive to her.

Xian Zihao still hadn't come back during this time. In the morning, when she hadn't woken up, in order not to disturb her sleep, he had asked Secretary Du to pass on the massage, which probably meant that he was really busy right now.

Jiang Ruolan felt too embarrassed to call him. She changed into her new coat and put on some makeup before going out looking for food.

With great difficulty, she found a hallway filled with food stalls.

She bought many kinds of snacks and sat in a beef noodle shop to eat. Regardless of whether the snacks were clean or not, regardless of whether she had diarrhea tomorrow, her rationally will also be temporarily thrown to the back of her mind when she saw this delicious snack.

After eating, Jiang Ruolan went shopping by herself. Although she didn't buy anything, she was in a good mood and wanted to return to the hotel on foot.

This street was about half an hour away from the hotel. She was in a good mood, and because she ate too much, Jiang Ruolan decided to take a walk first. If the weather got cold, she would take a taxi back.

After walking for a few hundred meters, her line of sight caught a glimpse of a high-end hotel not too far away. She suddenly stopped her steps and looked towards the direction, only to see a black car parked in front of the hotel. She could vaguely see two people getting out of the car.

That was, Xian Zihao and...Shi Zheng

Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao, who had just gotten out of the car, and Shi Zheng, who had taken the initiative to pull him along with her to the hotel's entrance.

Jiang Ruolan stopped on her track and looked at the two of them who had entered the hotel, without expression.

The car that had escorted them to the hotel slowly drove away.

Jiang Ruolan just stood there and didn't leave. She looked at the hotel's front door and knew very well that Xian Zihao was only with Shi Zheng because of a business deal. Perhaps it was out of politeness that he sent her to the hotel, so Jiang Ruolan wanted to wait for him and go back with him.

Since Xian Zihao had given her trust, she would naturally give him the same amount of trust.

Trust was mutual; she wasn't paranoid enough to care too much about other women, so she was clear that Xian Zihao would not disappoint her.

Amidst the biting cold, she raised her head to the night sky and boringly counted nearly a hundred stars. After so long, she still hadn't seen Xian Zihao.

Jiang Ruolan looked at the lights on every hotel floor for a long time, until her feet felt numb until the cold wind had thoroughly penetrated her thick coat. She couldn't help but shivered.

Jiang Ruolan rubbed her hands together, raised them to her mouth, huff, and then stood on the spot, stamping her feet gently to warm her hands.

Time passed slowly. She lowered her head and looked at the time.

11: 05 PM.

Two and a half hours. Jiang Ruolan had been standing there like a fool for two and a half hours.
