Chapter 345 - Only A Fool Would Not Appreciate A Man Like You (1/2)
Xian Zihao's mouth twitched. He continued to scoop another spoon and put it on his lips to test the temperature. He then fed her, ”What are you thinking? Smiling and laughing like a crazy woman.”
”I am happy to have a good husband.” Jiang Ruolan didn't hide her words while tilting her head and smiling. As she drank the soup, she subtly bit her lip, ”This is rib soup, hmm ... This is the tastiest thing I've ever tasted in my life!”
Xian Zihao chuckled, ”Drink your soup. There's no need for you to sweet-talk, I'm not going to run away. ”
Jiang Ruolan poured the soup into the bowl again, then took the spoon in Xian Zihao's hand and followed his example. She blew the soup and delivered it to his mouth, ”You just got off the plane this morning and drove to Xian Residence for 2 hours. Then you drove back to the hospital without stopping. I can't drink so much, so you at least drink a little.”
Seeing her serious face, Xian Zihao could only sigh helplessly and take over. ”I'll do it myself.”
It was obvious that he had not eaten anything all day. Only after seeing that Jiang Ruolan had eaten her fill did he feel at ease.
Xian Zihao took the bowl of soup from Jiang Ruolan's hand. He used the spoon that she had just used to eat the soup without care.
Even holding a spoon and a small bowl, Xian Zihao still looked graceful and dignified. Seeing him like this, it finally made Jiang Ruolan feel eased. A sense of security was extremely important to women, but only Xian Zihao could give her such a sense of security.
Jiang Ruolan sat on the bed with one hand resting on her knee while the other supporting her chin. She stared blankly at the man in front of her and smiled a little. ”Zihao, only a fool would not appreciate a man like you. At least for now, I will do everything I can to protect our marriage. No matter who wants to intervene, no matter how strong they are, I am not afraid of them.”
Xian Zihao was startled. He seemed to know what Xian Guiying had said to her. He asked halfway, ”Did Guiying tell you?”
Jiang Ruolan was just sighing because she really couldn't hide anything from him. Rather, it was Xian Zihao who was more attentive towards her.
Jiang Ruolan did not answer but continued to hold her chin with one hand, looking at him with a smile. In this marriage, she always seemed to be on the passive side. Because she was unsure and there were many things she didn't know the truth of, so she never took the initiative, but now, she already knew about it, she should not be on the passive side anymore.
Seeing that she was smiling so much, Xian Zihao continued to drink the soup calmly. ”Before, you used to laugh at Xiong Ruogang. I think now you are more suitable for these words.”
Jiang Ruolan's eyelids twitched as she grabbed the bowl in his hand. ”This soup is mine, I won't let you drink it anymore!”
It was rare for Xian Zihao to see such a shy little woman throwing a tantrum like that. He couldn't help but laugh as he looked at her.
At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open and Zhou Shufen walked in. As if she did not expect Xian Zihao to be here, the moment she entered, her eyes swept across the figure opposite Jiang Ruolan's bed, then she turned around to look at the tall and straight figure of Xian Zihao. Her eyes seemed to be filled with surprise.
While Jiang Ruolan was eating soup with the bowl she had taken earlier, Xian Zihao was patiently and gently wiped her mouth with a disinfectant handkerchief. They both were immersed in their own world.
Hearing the sound coming from the ward door, Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao subconsciously looked towards the door and saw Zhou Shufen.
Jiang Ruolan had no expression on her face; she just smiled at her naturally, but in her heart, she still minded Zhou Shufen's presence. Xian Zihao's expression did not change, and his eyes were as clear as a spring.
As Zhou Shufen stood stiffly at the door, staring straight at them, he only looked at her first, then looked back at Jiang Ruolan, continued wiping her mouth.
Zhou Shufen's eyes were stung by the scene just now. Her gaze remained fixed on the two of them for a long time before she finally snapped out of her daze due to Xian Zihao's extremely cold and shallow smile.
Zhou Shufen stiffly shifted her gaze away and said with a cold and slightly trembling voice, ”You're here.”
Such unreconciled words. Such estrangement and intimacy. There was no need to ask or say anything. It was just three words 'you're here'.
Initially, Jiang Ruolan was still wondering if this would be too awkward. However, Xian Zihao's calm response made her realize that she was overthinking it. Zhou Shufen's sentence had a deeper meaning.
What kind of person was Zhou Shufen?
Even if she was in a difficult situation, she would definitely think of a way to escape. After the divorce, her daughter's life will end, but at the same time, she made a plan for her future.
Zhou Shufen, one of the most influential people in the United States' financial markets, had experienced various types of storms. She wasn't Cui Liuxian. She didn't know how to cry or grind her teeth in a conspiracy.
