Chapter 298 - My Wife, Jiang Ruolan (1/2)
Since Old Man Xian will be in Beijing to gather with his former comrades-in-arms before the Spring Festival, so Xian Zihao decided to change locations at the last minute. Jiang Ruolan did not expect that she was already on a plane heading to Beijing by the time she woke up.
And when she found out Old Man Xian and his friends were waiting for their presence, she immediately felt anxious. Jiang Ruolan hurried to find clothes to wear and complained to Xian Zihao for not telling her this plan in advance. She was also angry because Xian Zihao let her continue sleeping on the plane. While they were on their way to Beijing, Jiang Ruolan already woke up and was in a daze. At that time, Xian Zihao told her to go back to sleep.
When Xian Zihao saw Jiang Ruolan's flustered look, he couldn't help but find it funny. The hotel staff quickly handed her a set of clothes. Jiang Ruolan looked at the silver dress that followed her body's shape. The dress was exquisite and the color was very matching with her skin.
Jiang Ruolan pointing at the dress, then pointing at Xian Zihao. ”You've already reserved it for me?”
Xian Zihao had a gentle smile on his face. ”Wear it. I want to take a look.”
Jiang Ruolan didn't think that Xian Zihao already knew her dressing style so well. For such a simple yet elegant small dress, no matter at which occasion she wore it, it wouldn't attract too much attention. She kept a low profile while carrying a little bit of agility and playfulness.
When she looked up and saw the intense look in his eyes, her heart immediately skipped a beat. Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered the words that Zhou Shufen had once said in front of her, that she did not know the true heart of Xian Zihao and did not know him as deeply as she (Zhou Shufen) did.
Well, Zhou Shufen was wrong. Because of her family's superiority and past self-confidence, she had become a woman who could only rely on these senses of superiority to find a place to live. Xian Zihao's heart no longer belonged to her. She should have realized that. The sooner, the better.
It was unknown if all women were like this, but it was inevitable that Jiang Ruolan would blush from his intense gaze. When she put on the dress and came out, Xian Zihao's eyes did not move from her. He looked at her dress and the long hair she had tied into a bun. There was praise in his eyes.
”Very pretty.”
His sincere praise lingered around her. When Jiang Ruolan walked past Xian Zihao with a slightly reddened face, he immediately grabbed her waist, bent down, and whispered into her ear. ”The most beautiful time for a woman is when she doesn't realize how beautiful she is.”
Perhaps because Jiang Ruolan was in a good mood, she didn't refuse his praise. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and looked up at his handsome face and his calm temperament. Her heart was bubbling with happiness.
”Zihao, do you know what a man looks like when he's at his most handsome?”
Xian Zihao raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.
”They will look like you. Looking at your wife with deep feelings of love, treat her well, giving her endless happiness and loving her without remorse.” She looked into his eyes, which were as deep as black pools.
Xian Zihao smiled and bent down to kiss her on the forehead. ”It's just instinct, you fool.”
Instinct? Such instinct must be born out of love, right?
Jiang Ruolan didn't say anything. She just smiled at him, but her heart felt as if it were filled to the brim with honey.
As the Spring Festival approached, the number of cars on the road in front of Tiananmen Square lessened. The bustling city of the nation's capital had finally become less crowded before the Spring Festival.
More than a hundred military and luxurious cars were parked near the square. Xian Zihao parked his black Land Rover nearer them. Jiang Ruolan had just gotten out of the car when she saw them. She didn't look at the signs, only glanced at the license plates, and immediately knew that all the guests the Old Man invited tonight weren't ordinary people.
