Chapter 274 - Xian Zihao Is Finally Here V (2/2)

”It's just a meeting, there's no need to be so attentive.”

”President Xian is right.” Wan Shoushan repeatedly nodded his head. ”Our Department of Commerce's journalist Jiang Ruolan has also gone to Garden Tech Zone Club's today. She must have met you personally. No wonder she recognized you just now and even surprised me for a while.”

After he said that, Wan Shoushan turned to Jiang Ruolan and said, ”Ruolan? Have you ever had a chance to interview President Xian before?”

At this moment, Jiang Ruolan really wanted to leave, but her superior was here, so it wasn't appropriate for her to turn around and leave. Her heart tightened when she noticed Xian Zihao's gaze on her.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't avoid him but instead had to stand in her original spot. A gust of wind blew past, causing her to smell his familiar fragrance. That fresh and elegant scent was still there, causing her to restrain her annoyed and displeased expression.

All this time, Jiang Ruolan did not speak, but now that she was directly questioned, she lifted her arms and covered her chest, pretending to shiver.

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and said, ”Big Brother Wan, I'm a bit cold. I'm going inside first.”

As she spoke, she turned around, walked past Xian Zihao, and tightly wrapped the coat to her body. Wan Shoushan was startled by her behavior.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't see Xian Zihao's expression, nor could she hear their following conversation. She could only faintly hear Wan Shoushan apologize for her attitude. ”I'm really sorry. Jiang Ruolan is still young and is not very sensible. President Xian, please don't mind her.”

Jiang Ruolan didn't look back as she walked straight into the elevator. However, she really didn't want to face the tables full of wine. Her current state of mind was not as tranquil as she had imagined.

She needed to be alone, but it would be too awkward for Jiang Yijun if she left just like that. She had no choice but to go to the bathroom on the floor with the least people coming and going.

The bathroom was very quiet and spacious. Although it was a washroom, there was a very special fragrance coming from the surroundings, a very rich and relaxing smell.

Standing in front of the bright and shining mirror, Jiang Ruolan looked at the woman in the simple khaki suit. She looked at her rarely shaded long hair, looked at the confusion in her bright eyes, and at her clenching her fists.

Memories in The Emperor's Garden Hotel struck her mind again.

The canceled wedding ceremony, wedding dress, platinum wedding ring. Everyone looked at her with a different expression. Qin Gengxin wanted to say something, but he hesitated. The slap belongs to Zhou Shufen, her unwillingness, and arrogance, Little Fishie calling Xian Zihao ”daddy”, and the bloody wound on the back of her hand.

After a month of peace, she was finally able to get her life back on track. She could make everything that should not belong to her, and those strange dreams were completely unrelated to her. She was just a real and ordinary citizen living in a different society. She only needed to live a simple life of peace from 9 to 5.

A month, thirty days, or maybe not too long. It should have been enough for her to forget those memories. She wasn't angry and wasn't resentful.

But why, why did that man suddenly appear?

'Xian Zihao, you are not even willing to give me a way out?'

At this moment, her cell phone rang. Jiang Ruolan looked down and saw that it was from Yi Meixiu. ”Jiang Ruolan, what happened between you and that turtle yesterday? When I got back from work today, my boyfriend kept nagging and telling me that you were unreliable.”

Jiang Ruolan ended the call and helplessly replied with a text message. 'Meixiu, I did promise to help you go on a blind date, but the reality is that not anyone can marry such a radiant, charming, and divine beauty like me!'

Yi Meixiu: All kinds of palms of light, all kinds of charm? If you don't like him, then so be it. After all, it's just for my boyfriend, what are you doing? Tomorrow is the weekend, are you free? Let's go shopping together!'

After Jiang Ruolan agreed to go shopping with her tomorrow, she then received a call from Wan Shoushan asking where she had gone. She told him she was in the washroom. Then she washed her face with the cold water and walked out while wiping her face with a tissue.

As Jiang Ruolan walked to the elevator, she thought it was about time for Jiang Yijun's dinner to end. If she went to that room now, she came at the right time for the banquet to end.

The elevator stopped with a ding. Jiang Ruolan lowered her head to put the small packet of tissue back into her bag. Just as she was about to enter, she raised her head and was immediately stunned when she saw the person inside the elevator.
