Chapter 171 - Xian Zihao’s Care (1/2)

Jiang Ruolan was puzzled. Zhou Shufen still came even after the rejection?

When Jiang Ruolan saw her entering the ward, she immediately closed her eyes. She heard the faint sound of footsteps walking towards the window, she opened her eyes slightly.

Zhou Shufen walked quietly to the sofa by the window and looked down at the sleeping Xian Zihao. When she caught sight of his suit jacket resting on the back of the sofa, she gently removed it and carefully covered it for him.

After covering him with his jacket, Zhou Shufen looked at him for a while before turning around and walking slowly to the bedside.

Jiang Ruolan closed her eyes again. When she didn't hear any movement, she couldn't help but open her eyes slightly, only to see Zhou Shufen still standing by the bed, staring at her with her (Zhou Shufen) watery eyes that were filled with spirit energy.

To be honest, Jiang Ruolan really didn't like the look in her eyes. Although it didn't seem like she had any ill intentions, she just didn't like it.

Jiang Ruolan frowned and looked at Zhou Shufen in silence. It was obvious that Zhou Shufen knew that she had woken up. What was the meaning of her to look at her (Jiang Ruolan) like that?

”I came uninvited, please don't take offense.” Zhou Shufen leaned over with a smile and said in a low voice that only Jiang Ruolan could hear.

Jiang Ruolan also smiled at her and said in a soft voice, ”No, not at all. Miss Zhou has personally come to visit and it is a great honor for me.”

Zhou Shufen smiled. ”I came here secretly behind my grandfather's back. I came to see how severely injured you are. I can't help much, but I have a Pendant of Peace with me. I'll give it to you as a gift.”

She took out a silver necklace from around her neck. The silver necklace was not big, it was only the size of a fingernail, but it looked very old. The engravings on it were still remarkably well-preserved.

”I hope you get well soon,” Zhou Shufen said softly, laying the necklace on the white table beside her bed.

”Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. As for the gift, I think it's better if you take it back.” Jiang Ruolan said sincerely as she looked at Zhou Shufen's eyes, which did not have the slightest bit of malice in them.

”This is my gift to you.” Zhou Shufen tilted her head and gave her a slight smile before winking at her. ”My grandfather still doesn't know that I sneaked out by myself. I need to go back quickly. Miss Jiang, we'll meet again.”

With that, she turned and left.

Silence returned to the ward once again. The only sound that could be heard was Xian Zihao's steady and shallow breathing.

The necklace was placed on the table by her bed. Jiang Ruolan wanted to get up and see the necklace, but she could not get up no matter what.

Since Zhou Shufen's appearance was so sudden, Jiang Ruolan had never treated her as an ordinary person. Moreover, her words at the welcoming banquet the other day seemed to be indifferent, and every word had a deep meaning.

Therefore, Jiang Ruolan couldn't understand why Zhou Shufen wanted to give this necklace to her. More and more questions popped up in her mind, like a cat's paw scratching her heart, causing her to be unable to lie down calmly.

Jiang Ruolan used her arms to support her body. She was barely getting up before she fell back down.

After repeatedly trying for a long time, Jiang Ruolan finally managed to the table. She stretched out her hand to touch the silver necklace, but just as she placed her hand on the table before she could touch it, she fell from the bed.

”Ah!”

Her head and neck were also twisted, causing her eyes to fill with tears. She felt that all the pain in her life was not as painful as this. The pain she felt when she was injured was not even a thousandth of the pain when her head was twisted!

What made her most upset was that the moment she fell off the bed and hit her head on the corner of the table, Xian Zihao heard her voice and suddenly opened his eyes.

At this moment, Jiang Ruolan wished she could reverse the situation by one minute...

She had been utterly humiliated!

”Why did you fall?” When Xian Zihao saw Jiang Ruolan fall from the bed, he immediately got up and walked towards her. He placed one hand around her neck to protect the wounds while the other wrapped around her waist and lifted her up.

Jiang Ruolan was a bit embarrassed. She tried to smile at him, but the pain in her head and neck still made her smile look funny. Xian Zihao sighed lightly when he saw her expression.

He laid her back on the bed, propped up her body, and carefully examined the wound. After he saw that it was only slightly twisted and not pulled into the wound, his tightly knitted eyebrows loosened slightly.

”Why are you so careless?” He gave her a serious look.

Jiang Ruolan gently ruffled her hair before chuckling. ”I'm sorry. I just want to move a little.”

”Didn't I tell you not to move? If you want to get out of bed, wake me up and don't do it all yourself.” His eyes were full of seriousness.

When Xian Zihao saw her embarrassed face, he felt helpless and helped her to lie down.

”You were sleeping soundly. I don't want to wake you up.”

Xian Zihao sighed, and then suddenly seemed to remember something. He turned around and looked at the sofa and then looked at the suit jacket that he had just pushed aside.

”Who's been here before?” he asked suddenly.
