Seeing that Jiang Ruolan was in a daze, Jia Zhenzhen smiled affectionately and patted her hand. "Silly child, since I was your mother's best sister in the past and she left so early, it wouldn't be excessive for you to call me mom, no?"
"Auntie Jia…"
Jiang Ruolan didn't expect this to happen to her. She also couldn't say whether she was flattered or not, but she was happy because she would eventually have a mother. However, right now, she really didn't know what to do, so she could just sit in her chair silently and let her mind wander.
"You're not used to it?"
"If you are not used to calling me mom, then you can continue to call me Auntie Jia. But Ruolan, you are pregnant now, so you have to walk a lot. If you have nothing to do in the future, you can go to the sanatorium and see me. I only had the opportunity to go out once in a while, but most of the time, I was in the sanatorium."
Jiang Ruolan nodded, "Of course. If I don't plan to visit you often, why do I work so hard to bring you back to this country? Recently, some things have happened, so I cannot meet with you. Once my husband recovers and the problems at home have been resolved, I will accompany you often!"
Suddenly, Jiang Ruolan's eyes lit up, "Oh right, Auntie Jia, do you want to see Yijun?"
Jia Zhenzhen's expression didn't change. With a slight curve of her lips, she asked, "Didn't you say that you didn't want him to see me?"
Jiang Ruolan instantly felt like she had been seen through. She couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, "At that time, I was afraid your illness would get worse and you would be in bad condition. Yijun would be unhappy to see you in such a situation."
"But since you are so much better now, even though Yijun will feel sorry for you, he must be very happy!" When Jiang Ruolan said this, she felt joy in her heart. Thinking that Jiang Yijun could finally see his mother, she felt happy for him.
Although Jia Zhenzhen was smiling, she seemed to be deep in thought. After looking at her for a long time, she finally asked, "How is Xian Zihao's injury?"
Jiang Ruolan didn't know if some misunderstanding with the Xian Family had been clear or not, but hearing Jia Zhenzhen asking about Xian Zihao, she was extremely happy. She laughed and said, "He's already woken up. The doctor said that his life is no longer in danger, but he will need to recuperate for a while. Even if he is discharged, he won't be able to go to work. I'm afraid that he will have to take a break from work for a while. But it's alright."
As she said this, Jiang Ruolan's face brimmed with happiness. She subconsciously placed her hand on her belly, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions.
Jiang Ruolan's smile was beautiful, but Jia Zhenzhen just looked at her for a long time, as if she wanted to say something. Her lips moved, but in the end, she said nothing.
"It's good that you are all right. I was so scared when I heard you had an accident. When you come back later, you must rest a lot, be happy, and don't overthink too much, alright?" Jia Zhenzhen held Jiang Ruolan's hand lightly, "Lan, I want to ask you something. Do you still have pictures of your mother's death?"
"Pictures?" Jiang Ruolan froze, "Why is Auntie Jia asking this?"
"Ah!" Jia Zhenzhen withdrew her hand. After hesitation, she said, "I just want to investigate the cause of her death and some things that happened at that time."
Jiang Ruolan understood, but she didn't want to talk about the picture. She took a detour and casually told her about some of the things that happened when Jiang Guanyu brought her and Jiang Yijun into the Jiang Family and the Jiang Family attitude towards them.
She didn't go into details, but just a few casual words from her made Jia Zhenzhen frown. Jiang Ruolan stopped talking and continued to observe Jia Zhenzhen's expression.
For some reason, she always felt Jia Zhenzhen was very worried about her compared to Jiang Yijun.
Jiang Ruolan wasn't sure if she was too sensitive to all this, but she didn't want to ask about it, nor did she want to know too much.

Four days later…
Jiang Ruolan returned to Greenville Residence briefly to pick up some things and returned to the hospital. As she entered the ward, she saw Zhan An and Xian Jian talking to Xian Zihao. Seeing her enter, Zhan An smiled and turned to look at her. "Ruolan, why are you coming back so soon? I'm still thinking of letting you rest at home for today. You have accompanied Zihao in the hospital for a few days now, so you must be tired, right?"
"Mom, I'm fine. I just came back to take some things and take a hot shower. I feel very relaxed right now." Jiang Ruolan walked over with a smile and placed the items in her hands on a nearby couch. She saw Xian Jian holding a thick file in his hand. She asked, "Dad, is this the file that the police team brought over?"
"Hmm, they have been able to determine that there were indeed two perpetrators. The newly arrested person died suddenly two hours ago. I have to go check the situation and see if the statement has been recorded." Xian Jian frowned and said seriously.
"Then, dad, I will accompany you. Recently, only you always go to the traffic police station, so this time I will accompany you there. When I am used to the situation there, leave this case to Zihao and me."
"It's fine. Just stay here with Zihao and take care of him. If anything happens, I'll let you know in a timely manner."
With that, Xian Jian glanced at Zhan An, who stood up and said, "Ruolan, I will go follow your father to see the situation there. You stay here with Zihao, don't wander around alone too much."
Jiang Ruolan immediately understood. "All right, you guys be careful."
Xian Jian and Zhan An glanced at Xian Zihao again. He nodded to them with a faint smile before they left.
After that, Jiang Ruolan sat on the bed and looked out the door. She muttered, "There must be a problem with the perpetrator's death. Why did he die so suddenly? Will mom and dad be safe if we let them go like this? Nothing will happen, right?"
"Who do you think would go so far as to cause trouble for us?" Xian Zihao smiled and took her hand. Seeing Jiang Ruolan's worried expression, he hugged her.
"But I'm afraid someone is really after us. After all, this is due to the conflict between Bingqing and me."
No matter what, Jiang Ruolan didn't want Xian Family and Jiang family to become enemies one day because of her.
"Leave this matter to dad. Don't interfere in it and please, stop thinking and worrying about this. This is not good for you and our child."
Xian Zihao's gaze was warm and his tone was calm. Even after staying in the hospital for the past few days, the unique fragrance from his body always made her feel safe.
Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but burrow deeper into his embrace. Xian Zihao smiled and lowered his head to kiss her face.
Jiang Ruolan blushed and quickly pushed him away, "Stop. This is a hospital, and it's still broad daylight."
Xian Zihao laughed, "This is a private room. Who else is here besides the two of us? Besides, it's not illegal for me to kiss my own wife."
Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to protest, Xian Zihao immediately sucked her lips, not giving her the slightest leeway to refuse. With his hands around her waist, he tightly pulled her into his embrace.
"Ugh …Zihao…"
Jiang Ruolan felt her body gradually heat up, then she quickly became clear-headed when she remembered Xian Zihao's injury. She tried to push him while he passionately kissed her. She struggled and whispered, "You're still wounded, don't do anything rash! Zihao!"
He kissed her again for a while before letting her go. He smiled and leaned his forehead against hers and said, "You knew I was injured, yet you still seduce me."
