Chapter 148 - Lunch With Hubby I (2/2)
”You can.”
Jiang Ruolan glanced at him doubtfully. ”The CEO's privilege?”
”What do you think?”
Jiang Ruolan: ”...”
While watching Xian Zihao drove away, Jiang Ruolan thought about the serious scene at the board meeting and couldn't help but shiver. Did Xian Zihao think she was so easy to coax as a three-year-old?
Even if quite a few people in Xian Group knew her, the security guards definitely wouldn't allow her to be near the meeting room even a little. As it was such an important place in the company, it would be weird if she could enter.
But Xian Zihao didn't seem to be joking.
Thinking back to the last time she had a meeting with him in G City, he might have had a break, but it was very short. Only from ten minutes to twenty minutes. So she had to come quickly.
Jiang Ruolan exhaled, straightened her face, and quickly walked into the Food Bureau.
Xiong Ruogang was already waiting for her in the hall in front of the food bureau. When she saw her enter, she hurriedly came over. ”Sis Jiang, why are you late?!”
”There's a traffic jam.” Jiang Ruolan cleared her throat.
She couldn't possibly say that she woke up late.
****
”Hey, Sis Jiang, our company has always had two hours of lunch break. Why are you eating so fast?”
In the newly opened donkey meat restaurant beside the company, Xiong Ruogang speechlessly gnawed on the donkey-meat stew in her hands while looking at Jiang Ruolan, who was eating fast.
”I need to make a trip to the Xian Group in a while.” Jiang Ruolan smiled and wiped her mouth with a clean napkin as she turned around to call the waiter to ask if there was any vegetarian food on their menu. She remembered that Xian Zihao ate very little meat and preferred vegetarian food.
”Tsk tsk, you've already been married for several months, why do you suddenly look like a woman in love?” Xiong Ruogang enviously chewed the donkey meat in her hands and sighed, ”If only President Xian had a little brother. I can still have some dreams, what a pity.”
Jiang Ruolan reprimanded her with a smile, ”You little idiot.”
”Eh? Sis Jiang, you just stand there talking regardless of my feelings! You are lucky enough to marry President Xian. He is the dream man of all the girls in H City, including me. Now, President Xian already has a wife, so I don't dare to go crazy over him again. To satisfy my aching heart, that's why I'll daydream of him having a little brother.”
Xiong Ruogang pouted and took a bite of the donkey meat in her hand.
Jiang Ruolan sighed and smiled. She remembered that when she first came to H City and entered the company, she had never come into contact with Xian Zihao. Those rare impressions of him were basically rumors told to her by Xiong Ruogang.
But who would guess, in the blink of an eye, she suddenly became President Xian's fiancée? Thinking back to Xiong Ruogang's astonished expression, Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but laugh.
The world was unpredictable. The stranger from a few months ago, the haughty man who was not even on the same level as her, had now become her most intimate partner.
Xiong Ruogang said she now looked like a woman in love.
Love?
Could it be …
Had she lost control of her heart?
Was her behavior that obvious?
When Jiang Ruola walked into the Xian Building with lunch, all eyes were on her. Many people recognized her and called her Miss Jiang, and there was even a young man who admired her as he followed her from behind and said, ”Greetings, Madam Xian.”
However, when they arrived at the meeting room's floor, a few very serious security guards stood outside the door. They looked at her in suspicion as she walked out of the elevator, then looked at the disposable lunch box in her hand. There was wariness in their eyes as if the lunch box in her hands might contain combustible and explosive dangerous goods.
A security guard with a cold expression walked over and extended his hand to block her way, ”Miss, I'm sorry, but this floor is temporarily off limits. Please leave.”
