Chapter 453 - Untitled (1/2)

When Jiang Ruolan heard that he finally agreed, she wasn't happy. She just quietly leaned into his embrace, tears flowing down her face onto his shirt.

Xian Zihao saw her tears and sighed as he wiped it for her. He then took a bowl of porridge and held it to his chest. He scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to her mouth again. ”Eat first. I'll sign it after you're done eating.”

Jiang Ruolan gently turned her head away and said in a weak voice, ”But the agreement, you already destroyed it.”

Xian Zihao frowned and looked at her deeply. ”I know you have saved it on your laptop. I'll go back to my study and print it out again. Can you eat it now?”

Jiang Ruolan held back her tears as she slowly looked at him and asked, ”Zihao, are you blaming me for being so ruthless?”

Xian Zihao just stared at her mouth, ”Don't talk about this. Let's eat first.”

Jiang Ruolan sniffed and obediently opened her mouth. The moment the warm porridge entered her mouth, she covered her aching nose. She wanted to vomit.

Xian Zihao's expression was tense. He just watched as she ate, patiently feeding one bite at a time, as if nothing was more important for him than letting her eat something.

When the bowl of porridge was almost empty, Jiang Ruolan rubbed her stomach. ”I'm full. I haven't eaten for a few days. If I suddenly eat too much, my stomach won't be able to take it anymore. Let's do what you have promised first.”

Xian Zihao didn't say anything. He put down the bowl and wiped her mouth. Although there was no trace of food in her mouth, he wiped it for her. The truth was he was wiping the tears in the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Ruolan leaned against his chest without moving, as if she was enjoying this final moment of gentleness. She had achieved her goal, but her heart felt bitter.

On the other hand, Xian Zihao did not hold her for too long. He helped her lean against the headboard. After that, he stood up and left.

”Zihao.” Jiang Ruolan called out his name.

Xian Zihao stopped in front of the bedroom door and turned to look at her. He said, ”I'm going to print the divorce agreement.”

His voice was as if he was speaking to a complete stranger, but the words that followed were even more distant and indifferent than when they first met a year ago.

Jiang Ruolan looked at his back as he walked out. In the end, she made it to this step.

'Jiang Ruolah oh, Jiang Roolan, your life is really miserable. The happiness that you have has been destroyed with your own hands.'

Jiang Ruolan was standing in front of the French window and looked at the view outside. A doctor had already come to check on her body. He advised her to eat more nutritious food and take care of herself more.

Jiang Ruolan had just eaten a bowl of porridge and although she didn't faint anymore, her strength was still not as good as usual. She didn't know how long Xian Zihao was going to spend his time in the study room, but since he had already promised her, she didn't have to urge him anymore.

Jiang Ruolan told Sister Yanmei to go home first and when she heard Xian Zihao walk downstairs, she slowly raised her eyes but didn't turn around to look at him.

From the window's reflection, Jiang Ruolan could see Xian Zihao placed the recently printed divorce agreement on the coffee table. He took a pen and signed on it in front of her.
