Chapter 216 - Since I Have Been Given The Betrothal Gift, Does This Mean Miss Jiang Agreed To Marry Me? (1/2)

Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. ”I'm already your wife, why should I be embarrassed? We are not a young couple who have just fallen in love.” As she spoke, her expression was still somewhat uneasy.

At such a late hour, if someone kisses under the stone pavilion for no reason, anyone would feel a bit embarrassed and wanted to avoid it, especially when there are still people around along the area.

Suddenly, she remembered that Xian Zihao was supposed to be around twenty years old as well. While he was in the United States and when he was with Zhou Shufen, he must have done this too. At that time, he was still young, and his hormones were at a high level.

With his current age and life experience, he had through various obstacles, living a life full of wealth and luxury.

When thinking about this, Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt that she didn't want to know whether Xian Zihao loved her or not. She also didn't want to know how much Zhou Shufen occupied in his heart.

In the end, neither of them spoke as they stood in a secluded corner and watched the young couple walk out of the stone pavilion, hand in hand after they had kissed.

The young couple was brimming with an unerasable joy and shyness. The silence of the night and the cool breeze made the scene as beautiful as a painting.

Jiang Ruolan then looked at the extraordinary man beside her. He was handsome and calm, standing quietly by her side with a softness and serenity vague in his eyes.

Perhaps, in this world, even though there was so much sadness being scattered and life and death being parted, there were still some people that could last forever.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly sighed loudly and leaned into Xian Zihao's arms, greedily breathing his scent. As he hugged her back, she whispered into his chest. ”Zihao, when you said that the business world is more complicated than I thought, suddenly I remembered something. When we both were caught in Han Xuegang's trap, you could make me disappear instead of marrying me. Things would have slowly calmed down, so there's no need for you to marry me and take responsibility for it. This question has been playing in my mind for a while. So, I wanted to ask, why did you decide to marry me?”

”About this …” Xian Zihao paused and looked at Jiang Ruolan's face with a smile.

”Speak!” It was rare for Jiang Ruolan to be so obsessed. She really wanted to know the answer. Perhaps the biggest knot in her heart was still unbearable for her.

Could it be that Xian Zihao married her because she was too much similar to Zhou Shufen?

Jiang Ruolan raised her head and looked straight at Xian Zihao. In her shallow mind, she felt that Xian Zihao wasn't such a person. If he still couldn't let Zhou Shufen go, he wouldn't be so calm to tell her (Zhou Shufen) that some things would never come back.

”Jiang Ruolan is a rational and assertive woman. When faced with her boyfriend's abuse, she prefers to cut him off rather than compromise.” Xian Zihao's voice was light and relaxed.

”It is said that women are too emotional, and they often lack intellect because of their emotions. However, Jiang Ruolan would say that even if she regretted it, she would never hurt herself and let others enjoy her misfortune. Look, this kind of woman with such a scary rational mind, if I don't marry her, I will regret it.”

Jiang Ruolan was greatly embarrassed. ”It can't be..”

”Then, what do you think?”

”I thought you married me because of love at first sight or something like that. A pure, cute, and generous woman like me, who wouldn't want to marry me. Here I am, really thinking that you were trying so hard to marry me because of that.” She grumbled shamelessly.

Laughter was heard from above her head. Xian Zihao lowered his head and kissed her on the ear, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

”Pure?”

Jiang Ruolan felt a little awkward under his intense gaze. She poked his chest and said, ”I'm a pure person, what? Don't believe it? Aiya, you are such an old man, of course you won't understand.”

Xian Zihao: ”....” ”You talk a lot of nonsense.”

***

The next morning, when she woke up, it was already 7 a.m. Xian Zihao had already left the house.

Jiang Ruolan quickly got up to take a shower and get dressed, then saw a delicious meal on the dining table covered with a thermal lid.

'Xian Zihao, you will make me spoiled.'

A strange thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
