Chapter 174 - What A Coincidence (2/2)
Xian Zihao was startled for a moment, but he did not ask why she was at the Ling Group. ”Wait for me. It'll be there in ten minutes.”
When he hung up the phone, Han Xuegang still didn't leave, and Jiang Ruolan didn't even look for him.
”I'm very sorry about what happened to Fei'er last time.”
Suddenly, Han Xuegang said softly.
Jiang Ruolan acted as if she didn't hear him and just stood there, not responding at all.
For her, there were some things that cannot change after four years. However, there was also something that can change, something that was rotten and will only hurt her heart.
”Ruolan...” It was unknown just how long Han Xuegang had looked at her, but Jiang Ruolan could faintly hear a sigh. It sounded like regret, like helplessness, like pain, like reluctance, like nostalgia.
Her lips curled slightly, and finally, she looked at him, indifferently looking at the pain in his eyes. It was as if everything that had happened between the two of them in the blink of an eye, had finally become something of the past.
Xian Zihao said that he would be here in ten minutes, but he had only taken eight minutes to arrive. From Xian Group to Ling Group, generally with a car will take close to twenty minutes, but he had only used eight minutes.
The black Land Rover stopped at the side of the road. Xian Zihao walked to Jiang Ruolan with concern. The concern in his eyes was so real that she really believed he had feelings for her.
Xian Zihao had always given her so much trust, and even when he saw Han Xuegang, his expression didn't change.
”Why did you come here?” Xian Zihao asked while pulling her to his embrace.
”It's too boring at home. I'm just going for a walk.” Jiang Ruolan leaned against his chest, breathing in the scent of his body. However, her eyes were closed from exhaustion, and she felt like her head was about to explode from the pain.
”Nonsense!” Xian Zihao frowned. He could see the discomfort that was on her face. ”I only allowed you to come home because I saw that you were too bored in the hospital. It seems that it's better that you are hospitalized!”
Despite being somewhat critical, Xian Zihao did not hesitate to carry him to the car. Seeing her frowning and closed eyes, he sighed helplessly.
Xian Zihao immediately closed the car door. He didn't even look at Han Xuegang before driving to the hospital.
Jiang Ruolan had lost too much blood, and she would experience temporary dizziness or shock due to rejection within a month after receiving a large amount of blood transfusions. Coupled with the fact that her head had been severely concussed and her injury was within the range of her head, it was normal for her to feel occasional dizziness during this break.
When they got home from the hospital, Jiang Ruolan's headache had lessened a lot. Seeing that Xian Zihao emotionlessly looked at her, she wanted to tease him, but he pushed her away.
”Go to sleep.” he said.
”I'm not a pig, how can I just eat and sleep every day? Previously, it was probably because of the cold wind that caused this headache. But now, everything is healed!” Jiang Ruolan felt that it was rare for Xian Zihao to make a face at her.
She really wanted to coax him, so she stretched out her hand and tried to lift the corners of his mouth. However, the moment her hand touched his mouth, he slapped her hand.
”Two weeks without being exposed to the cold wind. Try not to go out. Have you forgotten the doctor's warning before leaving the hospital?” Xian Zihao looked at her seriously and asked, ”Did you not value your body that much?”
”Are you mad at me?” Jiang Ruolan helplessly looked at him. It turned out that Xian Zihao, who didn't show any emotion on his face, was also so easily angered?
In the end, the more she looked at him, the thinner his lips became. He looked at her in displeasure.
”Alright, CEO Xian, this lowly servant knows her wrongs. I won't be out of the house during this half a month, okay?”
Xian Zihao's expression did not change. Jiang Ruolan smiled, dispelling the haze in her heart, and leaned into his embrace. She looked at him with her puppy eyes.
”Go to sleep. I'll wake you up later to eat something.” Xian Zihao was helpless against her. He finally had a helpless smile on his face. ”The old man's birthday is coming up in half a month. If you don't recuperate properly, are you going to stand in front of him in pain?”
