My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 145 - Love Affairs II

Chapter 145 - Love Affairs II

Xian Zihao's mouth twitched. Looking at Jiang Ruolan's expression, she did not agree with his way of revealing the truth.

Jiang Ruolan was about to speak when a melodious ringtone suddenly rang.

It was Xian Zihao's cell phone.

Jiang Ruolan quietly sighed in relief and sat back down. As she continued to rub the back of her head, she glanced at Xian Zihao at an angle that Qin Gengxin couldn't see.

Sure enough, his expression didn't look too good.

She was doing this for everyone's benefit. Escaping was not a solution. She understood that, but she really didn't want anything to happen. It wasn't like she hadn't seen Qin Gengxin's violent temper before.

"I'll take a call." Xian Zihao glanced at his cell phone, got up, and left. Before he left, he swept a glance at Jiang Ruolan with a profound expression, which caused her to lower her eyes and avoid his gaze quickly.

Qin Gengxin did not say anything. He waited until Xian Zihao walked out of the room before turning his head to look at Jiang Ruolan, who was still rubbing the back of her head.

Jiang Ruolan knew that Qin Gengxin must have sensed something amiss, so she finally stopped rubbing her head.

She understood that her unusual behavior was unjustifiable. Not to mention a cunning person like Qin Gengxin, even a fool sitting here could tell that something was wrong with her behavior.

"I need to go to the bathroom." She didn't want to be too obvious, but sitting here was actually the best way. Once she leaves, Qin Gengxin would probably speculate even more, but if she didn't go find Xian Zihao quickly, no matter how hard she tried, she wouldn't be able to stop him from telling the truth.

Seeing her get up to open the door, Qin Gengxin pursed his lips and looked at her, "Jiang Ruolan, even if you don't want to accompany me to a proper meal, you shouldn't have caused so much trouble for me."

She froze and looked back at him.

He seems to be … He didn't think of her and Xian Zihao had a thing.

That's right, the distance between Xian Zihao and her was too far. It was impossible for anyone to connect the two of them together so easily.

Qin Gengxin looked at her coldly. "From the time you were four years old when you were in the Jiang Family until you were seventeen years old, we had at least thirteen years of love. Do you need to be so heartless? Do you really think that my patience is limitless? Give me the exact word, do you have a man? Otherwise, why the f*ck would you be so adamant about not taking advantage of the situation?"

The corner of Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. "If I told you that I really have a boyfriend, would you stop?"

"Really?" Qin Gengxin frowned and looked at her coldly.

She helplessly said, "I do."

"Who?"

"..."

"You don't know him!"

"Say his name!"

"I already said that you don't know him! What's the use of saying his name!"

"Cut the c.r.a.p, tell me that kid's name!"

"Why do you need to know his name?"

"Why do you care? Say his name!"

Jiang Ruolan panicked. Where could she find a man's name? She hastily said, "I need to go to the washroom!"

Before Qin Gengxin could finish his sentence, she had already dragged open the door of the room and ran away like a wisp of smoke.

Seeing that she was running away so fast, Qin Gengxin's face darkened. He raised his hand and pinched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows. "What a heartless woman!"

Jiang Ruolan circled around the hall, but she didn't see Xian Zihao.

She could only go to the restroom first, but her line of sight b.u.mped into the tall and straight figure when she walked out from the corridor.

"Let a.s.sistant Bai pa.s.s the message. There is a need to prioritize matters. Let him settle this first."

"Okay, let them go."

"Pay attention to their movements and inform a.s.sistant Bai at any time."

"Yes, I know what I'm doing."

Jiang Ruolan couldn't hear what was being said at the other end of the phone, but Xian Zihao's calm voice seemed to have something happened. She was looking at him and knew he had business to attend to, so she didn't disturb him.

"Just do it."

"I'll be there tomorrow afternoon."

As Jiang Ruolan listened to his clear voice and walked past him, she didn't expect Xian Zihao to hang up the phone and look at her suddenly.

Before she could open her mouth, Xian Zihao had dragged her into the quiet corner of the corridor and pressed her back against the wall.

"Zihao, I--"

Before Jiang Ruolan could finish speaking, Xian Zihao lowered his head and kissed the newly opened lip. He punished her by biting her lip. The slight pain made her cry out softly.

Xian Zihao was angry. Very angry.

This was the first time Jiang Ruolan felt he was venting his anger on herself. She was a little stunned and also knew that she had overdone it.

In her desperation, Jiang Ruolan decided to stop resisting and give up. She allowed him to kiss her more and more deeply on her lips, depriving her of all her oxygen.

Only when Jiang Ruolan really felt as if she were about to faint from lack of oxygen did Xian Zihao finally loosen his hold on her, and the punitive, slightly angry kiss gradually lightened to a light peck, giving her the s.p.a.ce to breathe.

She took the opportunity to take a few deep breaths of fresh air. When she heard the footsteps approaching, her body stiffened.

Jiang Ruolan couldn't tell who it was, but she was very worried and afraid that it would be Qin Gengxin. She lifted her hand and pushed Xian Zihao's chest away from her.

Xian Zihao grabbed her hand. "We are a legitimate husband and wife. Are you still afraid our relations.h.i.+p will be known?" he said coldly.

It seemed that he was truly angry …

Because of what?

Was it because she hid this matter from Qin Gengxin?

Or was it because she had purposely interrupted his words in the private room earlier.

Normally, no one would dare to interrupt him when he was speaking. They would all be waiting for him to finish his words.

As Jiang Ruolan was thinking, Xian Zihao suddenly held her right hand and lifted it at the same time. He lifted her hand to her face and looked at her indifferently. "Jiang Yijun gave it to you? Hmm?"

At the same time, a person walked over from the side. Jiang Ruolan immediately turned her head and saw a waiter with a mop in his hand. When the waiter saw them, he did not react at all. It was as if he had already gotten used to the flirting scene between men and women in the hotel corridor. He directly went to the other side.

Jiang Ruolan sighed in relief and turned back to look at Xian Zihao, only to see that his eyes were extremely calm.

"I ... I have no choice." Jiang Ruolan lowered her head with slight difficulty and looked at the ring on her ring finger.

"You have no choice?" Xian Zihao suddenly let go of her hand and also his restraints. He said calmly, "Did you have to lie?"

Jiang Ruolan had nothing to say to that. Although she was unwilling to accept it, she admitted that she had her own selfish motives when it came to concealing it. One of the main reasons she did this was that she didn't want to destroy the brotherhood relations.h.i.+p between Xian Zihao and Qin Gengxin. She wasn't sure what would happen when Qin Gengxin found out the truth.

She hoped even more that Xian Zihao wouldn't be affected by this matter. She could see that Xian Zihao also valued his brother, Qin Gengxin.

If Qin Gengxin refused to let go, what would Xian Zihao do then?

Jiang Ruolan wasn't sure. The fear of the unknown was worse than anything that had happened.

"I grew up with Qin Gengxin, and we hadn't seen each other for seven whole years. Suddenly we met again, and with the way he treated me, I am not sure if he was joking or if he was sincere. At the very least, I don't want to jeopardize your brotherhood just because of me."

"We have our own ways of dealing with matters between men. It would be best if you didn't hide it away from us. It would only be counterproductive." Xian Zihao furrowed his brows, showing a stubborn temper.

A helpless expression shone on his face. "Running away won't solve anything."

"Then can you give me some time to prepare? If you tell him like this, I do not know what kind of att.i.tude I should use to deal with him."

Xian Zihao looked at her expressionlessly and did not speak.
