Chapter 138 - Trust (1/2)

”The fever has not subsided. Lie down.” There was no hint of joy or anger in his tone. It was very faint, and no one could tell whether Xian Zihao was coaxing or ordering her. His gaze was flat.

Jiang Ruolan hugged the quilt and took a deep breath. She then looked at his face. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore, and no matter how sore her throat was, she still tried her best to speak in a voice that Xian Zihao could hear clearly. ”Xian Zihao! I want my clothes! Give me clothes!”

Jiang Ruolan then looked around anxiously, thinking that the dress she wore last night might be in the laundry basket. Previously, she had taken off all her clothes when she moved out of Greenville Residence. Other than the dress she wore last night, she had nothing more to wear.

Seeing that Xian Zihao didn't seem to want to let her go, Jiang Ruolan held back her anger.

When her feet touched the floor, she discovered that her entire body was as weak as a ball of cotton, and her legs were very weak.

Jiang Ruolan hurriedly leaned back, and her body sat heavily on the bed. With a face full of remorse. she pressed down on the edge of the bed, gritted her teeth, and stood up once more.

She took two steps forward and felt a splitting headache. The moment Xian Zihao came over to catch her, Jiang Ruolan felt utterly humiliated! She struggled violently, but he easily held her down.

Xian Zihao carried Jiang Ruolan back to the bed and covered her with the blanket before pressing down her hands and feet. ”Stop moving.”

”I want clothes!”

”I'll get you some clothes.” Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Ruolan saw a bottle of medical alcohol on the table beside the bed.

Thinking that Xian Zihao must have used alcohol to cool down her body temperature last night, her heart moved slightly.

Xian Zihao's tenderness and meticulous care immediately tore her heart apart. Jiang Ruolan frowned as she looked around the room.

It was better for her to leave, and just as she was about to get off the bed again, Xian Zihao brought a white shirt and put it on the bedside. ”I've already sent someone to delivered your dress to the dry cleaner.”

Jiang Ruolan's face stiffened. Judging from the outfit's size, she could tell that this was something Xian Zihao was wearing at home. It was obviously a new one, but how could she get out of the house by just wearing clothes like this?

Seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Xian Zihao didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the bedroom. At the same time, he said, ”This afternoon, your luggage will arrive here. The rent has already been refunded. You don't need to think about returning to that house again.”

”Refunds?” Jiang Ruolan's expression changed, ”I paid the rent for half a year!”

Moreover, according to the lease agreement, if Party B terminates the lease agreement, the money already paid will not be refunded at all. If Party A were to terminate the lease agreement, then the money paid will be twice the amount.

This was a very standard clause in the lease agreement and was a security form for both parties.

”Half a year's rent, do you think that's a big price for me to pay?” Xian Zihao stood by the bedroom door and looked at her. ”Ruolan, you haven't even given me the most basic of trust.”

Her breathing faltered.

It seemed that Xian Zihao really did know the reason for she left without saying anything. Jiang Ruolan tightened her grip on the quilt. If she really hadn't given him trust, she wouldn't have waited outside that hotel like a fool for three and a half hours and become so sick!
