Xian Zihao gently stroked the back of Jiang Ruolan's head with his hand, "When all the business in Beijing is over, I will accompany you go back to G City and meet your mother. After that, I will reward you with a wedding, a promised honeymoon route, and everything else."
Jiang Ruolan hugged his neck tightly and took a deep breath before she released it, taking a small step back. She looked at his face with tears welling up in her eyes as she tilted her head and asked, "Xian Zihao, can I ask the silly question that all women want to ask their husbands? Maybe this is a bit stupid."
Xian Zihao raised his eyebrows and let go of her waist. He turned and placed the painting on the floor. Then, he picked up the press release she was working on and looked through it indifferently. "What do you want to ask?"
Jiang Ruolan hesitated for a while. She then asked in a clear voice, "You … When did you fall in love with me?"
Xian Zihao's hand, which was holding her press release, stopped moving slightly as he looked up to look at her.
Jiang Ruolan had a smile on her face and her eyes were full of curiosity.
In the past, she had always held a perturbed attitude towards this marriage. After all, there was indeed a huge gap between them. She never dared to hope that Xian Zihao would have a deep feeling towards her. However, after so long, she could completely see the feelings he had towards her. Unlike the others who showed their feelings intensely, he gradually steps into her life and shows his feelings through his actions and cares until she cannot deal with them.
Xian Zihao put down the press release in his hand and smiled. He walked over to her and took her hand, saying calmly, "Would you like to go to the concert tonight? I've hired someone to take care of Chiahao and An Na for two hours. If you're reluctant to leave them, I'll tell Secretary Tan to call them and decline the invitation."
Seeing that he didn't answer her question but had a warm smile in his eyes, Jiang Ruolan didn't ask again. Instead, she was taken out of the study by Xian Zihao and glanced at Xian Chiahao and Xian An Na, who were sleeping on the bed. "I was worried that when they woke up and couldn't see us, they would cry. However, the board members here have specially arranged the concert."
Xian Zihao chuckled, "Then let's have a good rest tonight. I'm not going either. I've been busy for a week, I want to stay here to accompany you and our children."
"But you can't not go."
"Don't worry about it."
He patted her hand soothingly, then released them and went to the door. He beckoned to his secretary, who had been waiting outside for a while and spoke to her in a low voice until she nodded and left.
Xian Zihao turned around and saw that Jiang Ruolan was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the children.
"How are they? I've been very busy this week and haven't had time to play with them."
Xian Zihao sat down next to Jiang Ruolan and placed one hand on her shoulder while the other gently caressed Xian Chiahao's round face. He then gently stroked Xian An Na's soft hair, his eyes filled with tender affection.
"Yesterday, Secretary Tan accompanied the three of us to Happy Valley for a day, but there weren't many suitable games for them to play there. They both played well there, so when they returned, they were tired and continued to sleep soundly." Jiang Ruolan smiled and squeezed Xian An Na's face lightly.
Jiang Ruolan turned her gaze from Xian An Na to Xian Zihao and said, "Zihao, you said something about Maldives and Thailand before. I think it's too far, and we can go there when the children have grown up. I think Yunnan is a very good choice. It's not far from H City and the weather there isn't too hot."
"You like going to the ancient city?" Xian Zihao smiled indifferently. The expression on his face was an approval that would depend on her decision.
"I heard that the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake's Maiden and many other places have many secrets. I don't have much desire to go abroad, but I do really want to go to Yunnan." Jiang Ruolan said while caressing the children's hands. "Besides, Yunnan is not too far away. Chiahao and An Na can go with us."
Xian Zihao nodded slightly. "Sure, I'll find the time to arrange it."
"Oh right, what position have you been assigned here? Is your vacation coming to an end soon? Then, if we go on a trip, will it cause a problem?"
Jiang Ruolan frowned at the thought, "These board members are really something. You just came home, and they didn't even give you time to rest."
"I won't be too busy after this. I'll find time to return to Xian Group next month. As for work …" Xian Zihao stopped for a moment and then said softly as if he was calming her. "It's normal for me to be busy for a while after returning to Xian Group, it's only for the initial period. Don't worry, I won't give Chiahao and An Na a chance not to be able to spend time with their father."
Jiang Ruolan immediately smiled and continued to pretend to be a little jealous when he said that. "Looks like you just take into account of Chiahao's and An Na's feelings ~"
Xian Zihao raised her eyebrows. "What is this? You're feeling sour so quickly?"
"I want to sleep. If rejecting an invitation to the concert isn't a good decision, then you can go. I'll accompany the children."
Jiang Ruolan then lay on the bed, hugging the two children who were sleeping by her side.
Xian Zihao smiled gently but didn't say anything. He simply pulled over the blanket and covered her and the children.
Jiang Ruolan slept soundly. When she woke up the following day, she heard the sound of water running from the bathroom.
She didn't know if Xian Zihao went to the concert or not last night. She turned her head and looked at the time.
7 am.
She then scratched her hair, suddenly noticed Xian Chiahao and Xian An Na already woke up, lying next to her, with a crayon color in their hand and scribbling something on a drawing paper.
"Tell mommy, what are you drawing?" Jiang Ruolan put her head on her arm and watched them with a curious expression.
Xian Chiahao raised his head and pointed at the colorful messy lines he was drawing. There were several circles of different sizes in the line that look like a feature of someone's face. "This is mommy!"
At the side, Xian An Na immediately took out a piece of paper covered with colorful messy lines and said proudly, "Mommy, mommy! This is daddy! My painting is better than big brother's, right?"
The corners of Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched as she saw the messy lines and circles on the two sheets of paper. She could barely make out the outline of a person.
She sighed. It seems that in a few months, she will send these two little things to kindergarten. Colors and drawing paper that Xian Zihao bought for them will teach these two children a little knowledge. Children love to draw, they love to learn new things.
"You two are fools." With a smile, Jiang Ruolan rubbed their heads and gently said, "Use the colors and paper your daddy bought well."
"Alright!" Xian Chiahao continued drawing. While he was drawing, he muttered to himself. "As long as daddy doesn't fight with Chiahao for mommy, he will be a good daddy."
