Chapter 271 - Xian Zihao Is Finally Here I (1/2)
Jiang Ruolan had dumplings in her hand and couldn't go out for the time being. Seeing there's no movement outside, she placed the dumplings on a plate by the cutting board, washed her hands and wiped them before walking out.
When she walked out of the kitchen, Jiang Yijun already closed the door and returned to the living room.
”Who is it? Why didn't you let that person come inside?” Jiang Ruolan looked at him strangely.
Jiang Yijun pursed his lips and said without any expression on his face, ”It's a delivery man. He's here to deliver water.”
”Water? I didn't order any water.” Jiang Ruolan took a look at the water dispenser and said, ”There's still a lot of water left. I didn't order any.”
”Yes, he sent it to the wrong house.” Jiang Yijun's voice was very low, but he didn't have much of an expression on his face. He smiled at Jiang Ruolan and pushed her towards the kitchen. ”Come, let me help you.”
”Oh.” Jiang Ruolan looked at his expression and finally did not take seriously the person who knocked on the door. They both went into the kitchen and continued to prepare dumplings.
After eating dumplings, Jiang Yijun sat on the couch and read the financial news, while Jiang Ruolan went to wash the dishes and then casually opened the window to hang the washed cloth on a thin pole outside. This was where she usually hangs the cloth. She suddenly glanced at the car parked downstairs in the residential complex from the corner of her eye.
It was a black Land Rover with a familiar design, but since there were not many lights on in the residential area, she couldn't see the number plate clearly.
Jiang Ruolan's heart instantly tightened as she looked at the Land Rover. After a long time, she slowly withdrew her gaze and closed the window.
It's probably just a coincidence. She often sees this model on the streets.
'Jiang Ruolan, you're too sensitive.'

The next day, Jiang Ruolan found out that Yi Meixiu's boyfriend was working at a matchmaking agency and was dragged by the girl to a coffee shop near his company as soon as she finished working in the evening.
Logically speaking, dating was not something that pregnant women should do, but at the urging of Yi Meixiu, Jiang Ruolan had to give in and agree. Yi Meixiu wanted Jiang Ruolan to help her boyfriend attract many people to come to the agency.
At the moment, Jiang Ruolan was very curious about the person who had been chosen by Yi Meixiu's boyfriend. He insisted on introducing her to Tan Zedong. So when Jiang Ruolan was forced to go to the coffee shop, a man was already sitting there waiting.
Jiang Ruolan was not used to people waiting for her, so right now, she had a good impression of this man. She thought, 'The world is wonderful. When God closes a door for you, he will definitely open another door for you. Is this why she met so many men recently?'
Tan Zedong had a buzz cut and should be around 1.78 meters in height. As soon she sat down, he began to talk about the national financial situation and the stocks' movement.
Then Jiang Ruolan became hungry and waved her hand to call the waiter.
Tan Zedong quickly stopped her. ”Why don't we order a buffet?” Then, he said in a low and satisfied voice, ”The buffet here contains a pack of drinks and some fruits.”
'Oh my god, he really wanted to save money on food as well.'
Jiang Ruolan looked up at him. ”Two buffets?”
Tan Zedong subconsciously took the raisin from the plate in front of her and said without raising his head, ”No need, only one is enough.”
Jiang Ruolan: ”...”
Alright, being thrifty was actually a plus, so after dinner, Jiang Ruolan felt that since she was helping Yi Meixiun's boyfriend, she should at least let Tan Zedong see the quality of the beauties that they introduced to him. She took the initiative to suggest that they go for a walk together.
On the way out, he looked around. ”You didn't drive here?”
Black lines appeared on Jiang Ruolan's forehead as she took a deep breath. ”You didn't either?”
Tan Zedong smiled. ”I don't have enough money to buy a car. I heard from Yi Meixiu that your brother owns a house and a car. He's an executive of a company, so you should have one as well, right?”
Jiang Ruolan looked up at the sky and sucked her cheek.
Later, both of them walked around the park and walked side by side along the gravel road. F City's weather was not as cold as the north, but it was still bone-chilling. The willow branches were withered, but the surrounding evergreens could still be compared to the picturesque scenery.
This man's words really made Jiang Ruolan unable to appreciate the scenery around her.
”Ruolan, since your brother is an executive, he should have quite a few houses, right?”
