My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 319

Chapter 319 - Jiang Ruolan’s Embarrassment

As Xian Zihao had said, the next morning, Jiang Ruolan could not get up at all.

After all, it was the first day of the new year. She didn't want to care about anything right now. She only wanted to spend her day sleeping. Breakfast was about to begin, and she was still curled up in her blanket.

Nanny Cheng has called her several times. Jiang Ruolan claimed that she had overeaten yesterday and now felt uncomfortable. She tried to find an excuse not to get out of bed, especially since she didn't have the strength to do so.

Xian Zihao pushed the door open and entered.

"Get up quickly and let's have breakfast."

"No." Jiang Ruolan covered her head with the blanket and immediately refused. However, her voice was soft as she mumbled softly.

She knew that it was the first day of the new year. Maybe the Old Man and the others were still waiting for her to eat breakfast together, so she did not resist any longer and subconsciously lifted her hands to wrap them around Xian Zihao's neck as he picked her up.

"Today is the first day of the new year." Xian Zihao pulled off the covers from the bed and wrapped them around her body. He gently carried her straight to the bathroom.

Jiang Ruolan curled up in his arms and mumbled, "It's not my fault. You're the one who didn't let me sleep. I'm tired and sleepy."

Xian Zihao chuckled and put her into the bathtub that was filled with hot water. The warm water eased her tired body, and Jiang Ruolan accidentally let out a comfortable moan. Xian Zihao squatted in front of her and helped her take a shower.

When he carried her out of the bathroom, she actually wasn't sleepy anymore. Jiang Ruolan just stayed in his embrace and calmly listened to his steady heartbeat.

An indescribable happiness emerged in her heart. Suddenly, she raised her head and mischievously bit his chin.

Xian Zihao's footstep immediately paused. He looked down at her with a darkened gaze. Jiang Ruolan smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Grandpa is still waiting for us."

Xian Zihao gently dodged her mischievous nibbling and covered her lips with his. Taking advantage of her opening mouth, he directly caught her tongue and kissed her until she gasped for breath. Only then did he smile and put her down beside the bed.

"Get dressed and eat first. There's something I need to do at Xian Group. I will have a meeting in the afternoon." Xian Zihao comforted her by gently patting her on the head. "I may have to go on a business trip in a few days. If you don't want to stay at Xian Residence, we will return to Greenville Residence tomorrow."

"Business trip?" Jiang Ruolan was stunned. "Isn't it now the Spring Festival holiday."

Xian Zihao smiled. "There's nothing I can do about it. Some urgent tasks must be completed regardless of the holidays."

"How long will you be gone?" For the first time, Jiang Ruolan felt a sense of loss when she heard her husband was going on a business trip. She immediately sat on the bed and didn't move.

"At least a week, or at most half a month." He gently kissed her forehead as if he was comforting her, "Don't be so reluctant to part for now. I still have a few days to spend with you before I leave."

Jiang Ruolan thought about it and she felt that she might be a little childish, but her feelings of reluctance and frustration were also real. She paused for a moment, then got up from the bed and went to the closet. After changing, she walked out of the room with Xian Zihao and asked, "Are you going to Beijing?"

"No, it's Shanghai this time."

Xian Zihao straightened his sleeves when he suddenly caught a glimpse of something. Jiang Ruolan was brushing her hair off her shoulders. There were faintly discernible marks under her neck near her collarbone.

Although he had noticed it when he was helping her take a shower just now, he thought those bruises would be covered once she put on the clothes. However, he didn't expect that this piece of clothes would reveal the fair skin at her collarbone.

Jiang Ruolan was in a hurry, so she didn't notice it.

"Why are you smiling at me?" When Jiang Ruolan noticed Xian Zihao's slightly smiling gaze, she quickly put down her hand that had been fiddling with her hair and glanced sideways at him.

When she saw his satiated expression, she recalled their interaction last night. A blush immediately appeared on her face as she pushed him away, "You still have the nerve to smile!"

After giving him a push, she took the lead and ran down the stairs.

Jiang Ruolan didn't look at Xian Zihao's mischievous eyes anymore and immediately ran to the living room alone.

After being married for such a long time, Jiang Ruolan had seen Xian Zihao's fierce methods in the business world, his calmness and caution, his astonishing indifference and rationality, his calmness, his steady control over his emotions, and his rejection towards women.

However, last night, she had experienced and saw him lose his rationality and control for the first time. He was still the same Xian Zihao, but she could feel that he had become wilder.

He was out of control because of her.

A sweet and contented feeling arose in her heart, along with a hint of victory. No matter how strong her opponent was, she was still the one who won the battle of love.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but smile as she walked straight to Xian Residence's dining room.

As it was the first day of the new year, everyone was already gathered in the dining room. It was the first time Jiang Ruolan woke up late and let everyone wait for her. She was afraid that the Old Man would blame her.

But as soon as she walked in, Old Man Xian looked at her with a wide smile. "Ruolan, you're finally awake? Here, eat something quickly. Since you didn't eat enough during dinner last night, then you have to eat more this morning. You youngster, no matter how tired you are, you have to eat breakfast first before going back to sleep!"

When Jiang Ruolan sat down at the table, she was immediately shocked by the Old Man's words. Her smiling face froze. She looked at the Old Man's smiling face as if he knew something, then shifted her gaze to everyone around the table.

Zhan An covered her mouth with her hands and snickered.

At the same time, Xian Zihao sat down beside her. When he saw her blushing face and frozen state, he couldn't help but smile. He casually brushed her hair. "Why are you sitting there stupidly?"

Jiang Ruolan made a swallowing motion and then chuckled. She secretly glared at Xian Zihao. Didn't he say that no one could hear them last night?!

Xian Zihao placed a glass of hot milk in front of her, took some light food, and put it in her bowl. He raised his eyebrows and said softly, "What are you waiting for? Eat."

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head with a wronged expression. No matter what Xian Zihao put in her bowl, she stuffed it directly into her mouth.

After Zhan An tore a piece of bread for her, she immediately said while laughing, "Ruolan, even though you are really too tired, you still have to eat breakfast. After walking for ten minutes, then go back to your bedroom and sleep."

"That's right. After this, you go back to your room and relax. There will be a lot of people coming and visiting our house today." The Old Man nodded.

At this time, Nanny Cheng and the others were carrying a tray of dumplings. Jiang Ruolan took advantage of the fact that everyone ate dumplings, to look at Jiang Yijun. He was sitting next to her without saying a word. He didn't even look at her.

Zhan An put a plate of dumplings in front of Jiang Ruolan and said with a smile, "I heard you like dumplings. Eat it."

Indeed, Zhan An didn't favor Jiang Yijun and didn't give him a plate, but she didn't say anything or cause trouble. She just smiled at him.

Jiang Yijun also politely smiled back at her, but that smile didn't reach his eyes.

Jiang Ruolan smiled awkwardly at everyone, but when she saw Xian Zihao's completely calm appearance, she gritted her teeth in anger.

She was staring at him in silence when he noticed her gaze.

"What's wrong?" he whispered.

Jiang Ruolan just glared at him with resentment. She was angry because his skin was as thick as a city wall.

After being stared like that for a long time, Xian Zihao finally understood what was going on. He began to laugh, and the mischievous look in his eyes became even more obvious.

"Ruolan, don't you like dumplings? Why aren't you eating?" The Old Man suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Jiang Ruolan was stunned. She immediately looked at Old Man Xian and his eyes were also full of smiles.

"Yeah, from what Nanny Cheng said, you and Zihao didn't sleep at all last night. You two ran into the kitchen to steal dumplings to eat." Zhan An couldn't hold it anymore and started to giggle from where she sat.

Everyone at the table also could no longer hold back their laughter. Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, was extremely embarrassed.

It looked like … She was overthinking it?

She had thought that they knew what had happened inside the room last night.

She then turned to look at Xian Zihao, only to see he was looking at her with a calm and composed expression.

"Wife, you're thinking too much ~"
