Chapter 178 - In This World, Nothing Belongs To Anyone (2/2)

A mother who did not completely spoil her children. Her rational actions also showed that she was a very independent character.

Today, Jiang Ruolan got to know a bit about Zhou Shufen. Perhaps, it was because she, herself, was an independent woman, so she really knew her opponent.

A rational person would naturally have her own limits, as well as hers.

What exactly did Zhou Shufen want to do?

Xian Zihao only returned to the Greenville Residence late at night. Jiang Ruolan had just finished showering and was about to take his coat, but as soon as she got near, she could smell a faint but not very strong smell of alcohol from his body.

”There's an event tonight?” Jiang Ruolan didn't find it strange for her to ask about it. She put his coat on the coat stand and went to the kitchen to make him some food.

Just as she was about to go to the kitchen, she felt a warm breath hitting her neck. Xian Zihao was hugging her from behind.

Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment, feeling his gentle kiss on the back of her ear, but also felt that he was doing it on purpose. The kiss made her itch, and she immediately smiled.

Jiang Ruolan wanted to turn around and push Xian Zihao away, but he stopped her.

”No need to cook.” He embraced her, his warm lips pressed against her ear. With a faint, hoarse smile, he said, ”Eating you is enough.”

A husky and ambiguous voice passed by her ears.

Jiang Ruolan smiled as she tried to push him away, ”Aiya, stop messing around!”

”I am serious …” Xian Zihao sucked lightly on her earlobe. He turned her around and looked at her with a soft, sexy smile.

Xian Zihao lifted her chin with one hand, and his eyes were soft and warm, with her reflection in them. Then he lowered his head and kissed her nose affectionately. ”Jiang Ruolan, I mean it.”

Jiang Ruolan was a little drowsy. She raised her eyes to meet his gaze and saw that his eyes, which were as bright as stars, were brimming with a strong sense of warmth.

”Zihao, you don't have to do this.” Jiang Ruolan could feel the care and protection he had for her. It was as if he did not want her to be harmed in any way, but she could also tell that his body was more or less filled with helplessness.

Although she didn't know why he was so helpless, Jiang Ruolan would do her best to protect her marriage and wouldn't surrender her husband to someone else. However, she wasn't greedy. She knew that there were some things she couldn't force.

”You don't have to do this.” she said, smiling.

Xian Zihao's gaze was gentle, but right now, he looked slightly dissatisfied. ”No matter what it is, you always prefer to bear it yourself. Even if someone has bad intentions by putting those pictures of your mother's suicide in front of you? And even when you know Zhou Shufen and her daughter's existence? Even when you met them this afternoon?”

Jiang Ruolan was stunned. ”How did you know that I met Zhou Shufen this afternoon?”

Xian Zihao didn't give her the answer, but the answer was obvious in his eyes.

Had he seen them at the window as he drove past the restaurant? Or had he met Zhou Shufen after that?

”Why can't I know?” His eyes were frank, and he just looked at her.
