Chapter 475 - Happiness Beyond I (1/2)
When she left the Civil Affairs Bureau, Jiang Ruolan still couldn't believe what was happening. It had only been half an hour, but Xian Zihao had already returned to her world.
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, she immediately reacted and violently turned towards him. ”No! You did it on purpose.”
Xian Zihao's lips curved into a faint smile as he looked at her. ”What do you mean by that?”
”Pretending to be innocent, huh? You actually dare to play psychological warfare with me! Even though you know that I have long felt uncomfortable, you are still taking advantage and deliberately watching me suffer.” Jiang Ruolan stomped her foot in frustration. ”When I passed the side of the road earlier, you saw me! You clearly saw me! You made me think I really lost you. You scared me! You deliberately let my imagination run wild for the entire evening.”
Xian Zihao didn't refute, he just smiled and pulled her into his embrace. ”You want to go back on your word?”
The corner of Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. She wanted to hit him, but Xian Zihao just smiled warmly like a warm spring snow. All the winter haze and snow melted little by little, revealing the natural colors of the earth.
She couldn't bear to hit him, so she glared at his smiling expression, ”You're too despicable. I'll let Chiahao and An Na piss all over your body later. Let's see if you still dare to bully their mother!”
Xian Zihao took her hand and gripped it tightly. ”It's too late for you to regret now. You can forget about getting a divorce in this lifetime. Miss Jiang, you were born to be Xian Zihao's woman, and you died as his ghost girl. Accept your fate, huh?”
Jiang Ruolan was so angry that she didn't know whether she should laugh or cry. At that moment, her eyes suddenly glanced at several figures standing outside the Civil Administration Bureau.
The smiling Zhan An and Xian Jian, also the Old Man, who dressed in a neat suit, were standing there watching both of them. Old Man Xian was smiling so much that his face looked like it was about to blossom.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned for a moment and slowly stopped in her tracks as she walked out.
”Ruolan, thank you for returning to our Xian Family.” Xian Jian's eyes shone when he saw Jiang Ruolan's and Xian Zihao's hands and sincerely said, ”I had done something disdainful. Although it wasn't Zhou Qingling who left and it was Jia Zhenzhen, but I knew that they were the same in your heart. For the last two years, you often meet with us with your children to make up for the loss of Zihao, who is far away in America. You are a good child. Today I will officially apologize to you. I will not speak about what happened that year, but Ruolan, the Xian Family are fortunate for having you as our family.”
Xian Jian was the first to speak. His eyes looked at her with a hint of gentleness in his stern eyes, as well as a layer of benevolence that was gradually coming out because of time and remorse, making it impossible for people to look directly at him.
Jiang Ruolan's nose twitched as she stood in front of them. She was speechless. She slowly turned her head to look at Xian Zihao.
His gaze gave her the courage to face all this again. After all, she was the one who left him heartlessly, left the Xian Family, and no matter who was at fault, no matter how much love and hatred there were between them, she still couldn't find the right feelings when she once faced them. It's only now that she realized that Greenville Residence would forever be her home and the Xian Family was part of it too. She didn't know how she could leave all of this just like that because of her frustration back then.
”Ruolan, it's been two years. Mom has been waiting for this day to come. Mom is glad that you're back.” Zhan An walked over, took her hand from Xian Zihao, held it with a smile. ”Mom knows that you and Zihao will return to Greenville Residence to take care of the children, so mom will wait for you both to warm up for a few days. Then, please take the children and stay at Xian Residence for a while, okay? Mom can cook some meals now, and mom learned it from Nanny Cheng! It'll definitely be delicious!”
Jiang Ruolan was on the verge of tears, but she burst into laughter at Zhan An's words.
Zhan An also laughed.
In these past two years, even though Jiang Ruolan brought her children back with her, she never called them 'mom, dad or grandpa'. On the surface, she's just being polite, but in reality, she's very far from it.
If it weren't for her children, maybe she wouldn't have come to Xian Residence and even it wasn't her mother who died, but the logic was still the same.
Jia Zhenzhen was still Jiang Yijun's mother and she wasn't selfish enough to leave the past matters just like that. But two years had passed, and even Jiang Yijun had stopped hating the Xian Family because, in the end, they had accepted Jia Zhenzhen. How could she have so many grievances? However, there was always a knot in her heart.
