Jiang Ruolan thought about how she bought a shirt for Qin Gengxin. No matter how sad, threatening, and seductive he was, she should not be swayed by Qin Gengxin's hidden guilt. In the end, she fell into his damn trap!
Jiang Ruolan should have realized that Qin Gengxin had always used this technique since they were little. She should have learned a bitter lesson when he had bullied her, but she had already forgotten about that in the blink of an eye …
Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and looked at her knees. She turned her head to look at Xian Zihao again while enduring the pain.
Xian Zihao didn't even spare a glance at her and maintained his steady control of the steering wheel. He was obviously very close to her, and they were only separated by a handheld distance. It was unknown if it was due to psychological effects, but the estrangement between them was even stronger.
Jiang Ruolan only came back to her senses when she heard the sound of a car's horn coming from all directions. She abruptly raised her head to look at the busy crossroads of H City.
Xian Zihao was still cold and detached. She had been with him for so long. She knew that when he was usually serious, he would usually act more amiably than others. Still, whenever he was with her, he always treated her warmly and often trusted her.
Jiang Ruolan thought for a moment and looked at the watch on her wrist. She couldn't help but try to find a topic to talk about. "Have you had lunch?"
Xian Zihao ignored her as the car slowly moved forward. However, the driver of the car in front of them seemed to be a novice.
Seeing that the green light was about to go out, Xian Zihao slightly frowned. When the car finally sped up, and when Xian Zihao's car was about to accelerate, he suddenly braked.
The green light had gone out, another red light.
Jiang Ruolan leaned forward at the braking motion, then bounced back against the seat. Luckily she wore a seatbelt. If not, her head might have hit the windshield.
The person beside her remained calm and collected as if he was sitting on air.
Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and slowly calmed her temper. This was a small matter. She did not know why Xian Zihao was so angry with her. She looked back at him again. "Zihao, are you not busy today?"
No response, no movement, no sound.
"Is the company okay?" She kept asking without feeling discouraged.
"Zihao." Jiang Ruolan looked at his face.
Xian Zihao glanced at her.
That glance was as tranquil as a pool of water.
She stared at him for a few seconds until another red light appeared in front of them and he braked again.
"Ah!" Jiang Ruolan was wearing a safety belt, but because she leaned her head to the side and kept looking at him, her body leaned forward too much. Her head hit on the dashboard, causing her to cover her head in pain as she hurriedly retracted her body.
Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Ruolan saw Xian Zihao's hands hanging in the air as if he wanted to help her, but he instantly retracted them without a trace.
With a straight face, he continued to control the steering wheel without saying a word.
Jiang Ruolan helplessly rubbed her head and muttered, "Where did all these red lights come from?!"
There was still no response.
Jiang Ruolan was extremely worried and a little distressed. She raised her hand and lightly tugged on his sleeve without affecting his driving. "Zihao, say something?"
Xian Zihao looked at her but did not say anything. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the claw on his sleeve.
Only when Jiang Ruolan's hands stiffened did he finally shift his gaze without emotion.
Xian Zihao pulled his sleeve out of her hand without leaving a trace and calmly looked at the road ahead.
After waiting for a long time, when Jiang Ruolan was about to give up, he suddenly made a sharp turn and stopped the car by the roadside with a "screech" sound. At that moment, when Jiang Ruolan was still a little drowsy, he finally slowly said, "What do you want me to say?"
"Are you angry?" Although Jiang Ruolan knew that she had asked a useless question, she still felt that it was necessary for her to clearly see his attitude.
"What do you think?" Xian Zihao looked over coldly.
Jiang Ruolan was about to say something when her cell phone rang. She looked down and saw that it was a call from Xiong Ruogang. She hesitated, then looked back at Xian Zihao before answering the phone. "Hello, Ruogang?"
"Sis Jiang, what's going on? Why did you leave with President Qin after the meeting? At that time, I just went out to buy lunch and then when I came back, I saw President Xian's car parked in front of the entrance. I think he saw you get into President Qin's car!" Xiong Ruogang was hiding in the company's toilet and sneakily calling her. Her voice echoed a little and then everything went quiet.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned, then she heard Xiong Ruogang talking again. "Later on, I saw President Xian come in, carrying two boxes of your favorite Sichuan snacks. Was he worried that you would feel unwell on your first day at work, so he deliberately took the time to come to see you? I even packed lunch for you, but it got cold later on, so I ate it by myself. Heheheh."
Jiang Ruolan slowly put down her phone after hanging up. She felt a surge of unspeakable energy in her chest. She turned around and looked at Xian Zihao's calm expression.
The black Land Rover was already speeding along the road again.
Jiang Ruolan didn't know where his purpose was, but she felt upset in her heart.
Did Xian Zihao see her getting into Qin Gengxin's car?!
Was this considered jealousy?
Jealous that she accompanied Qin Gengxin to buy a shirt?
Jealous that she bought a shirt for Qin Gengxin?
Jealous that she worked right under Qin Gengxin's nose?
And does this mean he loves her?
Qin Gengxin's words from before resounded in her ears again.
Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment and hesitated as she looked at the man beside her.
How was she going to open her mouth in such an atmosphere?
"Hubby, you look really good today!" Jiang Ruolan decided to switch methods and flatter him.
Today, Xian Zihao was wearing casual clothes, and his temperament was outstanding. Compared to his usual cold and composed suits, he was a bit more casual and indifferent. What Jiang Ruolan said just now was the truth.
In the end, it seemed like he really didn't want to play this game.
After some thought, Jiang Ruolan tried another method.
"Zihao, if your mother and I fell into the sea at the same time, who would you save first?"
He should react a little bit to this kind of question because this question will drive all men mad, right?
Furthermore, she also wanted to hear his answer.
However, this method still didn't work for Xian Zihao. He glanced sideways at her but surprisingly, he opened his mouth. "My mom is allergic to seawater and never gets close to the sea."
The corner of Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. "Just assuming. Assuming that I fell into the sea alone."
He asked, "Which sea?"
"Imagine I fell in the sea area of H City!"
"The beach over there is in the process of being renovated. There are also perfect sea rescue teams nearby." Xian Zihao had no expression when he said this.
Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath. This was really hard. No matter what she said, Xian Zihao always rebuked her.
"Will you save me?" She kept asking.
"I was there when you fell?" He asked very seriously.
"Yes, you were there at that time." She sighed.
"I won't give you the chance to fall." Xian Zihao glanced at her as if she were an idiot.
Jiang Ruolan clenched her fist, tears welling up in her eyes as she tried her best to restrain herself. "Just think that I've already fallen into the sea, and at that moment, you saw the incident. Will you save me?!"
