His pretty eyebrows were raised slightly. "You've gone dumb?"
Jiang Ruolan snapped out of her daze and realized how embarrassed she was. She hurriedly closed the bathroom door and washed her face. Two or three minutes later, she opened the door again and walked out.
Xian Zihao picked up the newspaper on the tea table and sat on the couch.
Jiang Ruolan expected to smell the lingering smell of smoke and alcohol in her husband's body but instead, she smelled a refreshing and soothing scent like a forest after the rain.
"You … Why are you here?" she asked doubtfully.
Xian Zihao looked up and looked at her. He put down the newspaper and didn't answer her question. Instead, he looked at her face and asked, "Why do you look so ugly?"
"Probably because I didn't sleep well last night." Jiang Ruolan touched her face and forcing out a smile.
Xian Zihao looked at her for a moment but said nothing. He got up and was about to pour water when he saw a bucket of instant noodles at the kitchen counter. He stopped and glanced at her.
Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips and said, "Instant noodles are for me. I don't have much free time in the morning. It's good enough for me to have instant noodles in three minutes."
Xian Zihao continued to pour a glass of water from the water dispenser. He seemed to have a habit of drinking a glass of water in the morning. This habit was the easiest way for him to take care of his health.
Jiang Ruolan noticed that as long as he was not too busy with his job, all his life habits would be very orderly and healthy.
He went back to the sofa and picked up the newspaper again. While reading the newspaper, he will drink water.
Jiang Ruolan felt that Xian Zihao was acting a bit weird today. Since Zhan An was not at home, they no longer had to pretend to be love and harmony. She ignored him and went straight to the kitchen to make herself a bowl of fragrant noodles.
In this quiet atmosphere, only the sound of their breath was heard and the sound of Xian Zihao flipping through the newspaper in the living room.
Three minutes later, Jiang Ruolan took off the paper cover on the instant noodle and stirred it with her small fork. She lowered her head and opened her mouth to eat.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a figure who unknowingly appeared in front of the kitchen door.
She quickly put down her fork and looked at Xian Zihao, who was standing in front of the kitchen door with his hands across his chest in astonishment.
He was looking at her with a smile that did not seem to be a smile.
"You want to eat it too?" she asked stiffly.
"Can you bear to split half with me?" Xian Zihao's words didn't sound like he was joking.
Jiang Ruolan was greatly embarrassed. She used her small fork and poked her noodles twice, "I never thought President Xian would eat junk food too."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why can't I eat junk food? I just got home early in the morning. As my wife, you are really lazy. You can't even cook another pack of instant noodles for me."
Jiang Ruolan: "…"
"There's only one box left. If you're hungry, then eat it. I haven't eaten it yet." Jiang Ruolan lightly pushed the bowl of noodles in his direction.
Xian Zihao smiled at her. "I will eat. Are you going to watch me?"
"I need to get ready to go to work in a while. I don't have time to cook, okay? Besides, the food I bought two days ago in the fridge has been eaten by mom." she whispered.
"Jiang Ruolan, what day is it today?" Xian Zihao asked suddenly.
"Weekend." She answered his question spontaneously and her eyes widened in shock. Jiang Ruolan stared straight at the growing smile in Xian Zihao's eyes.
"Hmm?" He raised his eyebrows.
"Sunday…Six." Yesterday, she was too sick. Once she woke up, she forgot that today was the weekend. She immediately hit her head." Heaven, it's the weekend. I forgot!"
No wonder he came home so early in the morning, instead of going straight to the company. It's actually a weekend!
"Then what do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you!" Xian Zihao's dark and calm eyes matched her bright and shy smile. Hearing his words, Jiang Ruolan stared at his face with a non-smiling smile. "You, you want to do it for me?"
Her words sounded very intimate as if they were both truly loving couples in harmony with each other.
Jiang Ruolan chuckled. "I mean, since this is the weekend, there is no need to eat instant noodles. I have to make delicious food to calm my stomach. Since you are here, I will make two."
Xian Zihao did not move at all. After looking at her for a moment, he turned and returned to the living room.
Jiang Ruolan secretly glared at him from behind. She felt a little uncomfortable with the treatment that she received. Why did she explain it to him? He should be the one to thank her for cooking for him. Why did she have to explain so much?
When she thought about it, she became furious. She put on her coat without saying a word, opened the door and ran out.
Five minutes later, she was back.
Xian Zihao put down the newspaper and looked at the woman who had come back empty-handed.
It's not even 7 yet, some supermarkets around Greenville Residence all operate around 8 o'clock. The nearest market will take half an hour if she goes on foot.
Jiang Ruolan held out her hand. "Lend me your car keys. I need to buy ingredients."
Xian Zihao looked at her hand before his eyes glanced at her face. He just looked at her small face that was covered in dust.
"Aiya, just lend me your car keys! I already had a driver's license while I was at university!" Seeing that he didn't move, Jiang Ruolan became anxious. Seeing his electronic car keys placed on the tea table, she quickly took it and ran out of the house. "I have to hurry. After 7, the traffic will be heavy. I will be stuck in traffic jams if I'm late."
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ruolan came back with a defeated look on her face. She stood at the door and looked resentfully at Xian Zihao, who was looking at her with a calm and collected expression.
"Your car's steering wheel has an anti-theft mechanism, so I need your fingerprints! Why didn't you say that in advance? You really like to see me running back and forth from the parking lot, don't you?" She looked sad.
After running back and forth for half a day in the early morning, what was she aiming for!?
"Did you give me a chance to tell you?" Xian Zihao had an innocent face on his face.
Jiang Ruolan was about to open her mouth to protest when she suddenly remembered the scene where she took the car keys and left. Her face darkened as she became silent.
What should she do? She was starving. Her instant noodles were probably cold to the point that they couldn't be eaten.
Did she offend a devil this morning? She hated sports the most. After walking back and forth in the morning for almost 20 minutes, not a single task can be completed. Plus she's hungry!
Jiang Ruolan silently returned to the kitchen to check if there were any eggs left. She decided to make two portions of Fried Egg Rice. Just as she was about to change into slippers and head to the kitchen, Xian Zihao stood up and said, "I'll take you there."
Hm?
Jiang Ruolan looked at him blankly.
Did she hear wrong?
Xian Zihao will drive her to the supermarket?
It was rare for him to show such kindness when facing her alone, so it would be outrageous if she rejected it. She immediately grinned. "Please, please."
Seeing her flattering smile, Xian Zihao's mouth twitched. He walked past her with a meaningful look in his eyes and slowly walked out the door.
Jiang Ruolan immediately closed the door and happily followed him to the parking lot. Before she could get into the car, she suddenly remembered what she had seen yesterday at Carlmore Bridge. She could not stop herself from looking towards Xian Zihao's figure.
However, she was too hungry now and wasn't in the mood to question him.
Driving was faster than walking, and there was no traffic jam right now. Xian Zihao drove his car quite fast and within five minutes, the car stopped near the market.
