Chapter 254 - I Shouldn’t Put My Expectation On You I
Jiang Ruolan was starving. She got up from the couch and went to the kitchen to cook noodles. While waiting for the noodles to cook, Jiang Ruolan's mind went back to the call just now. She had fought for their marriage, so how can she be willing to admit defeat just like that.
She put down the bowl, picked up the phone again, and called Xian Zihao again. This ti, the call was connected quickly. It was still Zhou Shufen. "Hello?"
Jiang Ruolan spoke into the phone lightly, "Miss Zhou, three days from now, at 9:58 am, I welco you to my wedding. The ceremony will be held in the VIP Room on the first floor of the Halcyon Hotel. I will send an invitation card to you tomorrow."
There was a long silence and then a chuckled could be heard. "So it's you, Jiang Ruolan?"
"Don't forget to attend." Jiang Ruolan ignored Zhou Shufen's laughter and politely ended the call.
Maybe Jiang Ruolan was really stupid enough to keep holding in this marriage. Maybe too many people would laugh at the current her but she was too f*cking unwilling to let it go just like that!
When Jiang Ruolan realized she had not taken dicine, she took the bowl and sipped it. She had been drinking this dicine for a few days now. Why did she only realize that the dicine was so bitter that it made people want to cry?
Sister Yani finished tidying up the room. After seeing Jiang Ruolan drink the dicine, she reminded her to rest early and left on ti.
Instead of going to the bedroom to rest, Jiang Ruolan decided to sit in front of her laptop, completing her report. Suddenly she felt a little dizzy. Jiang Ruolan imdiately put the laptop on the sofa, ran into the bathroom, knelt beside the toilet, and vomited. She could not spit anything out, but she really felt very uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Ruolan sat on the floor for too long, her blood circulation beca unstable because as she stood up, her vision darkened and she felt dizzy. Her body involuntarily fell backward.
Jiang Ruolan wanted to grab sothing to support herself, but she couldn't, and in the blink of an eye, she felt a warmth from behind. Xian Zihao imdiately went to help her stand.
Jiang Ruolan didn't know when he returned.
"Are you uncomfortable? Have you drunk the dicine?" Xian Zihao was still as gentle as ever as he carried her all the way to their bedroom and gently put her on the bed. He knelt in front of the bed and stroked her sweaty forehead. "Don't kneel too long in the toilet anymore."
Jiang Ruolan did not say anything, only calmly looked at his still gentle and everlasting smile and the care in his eyes.
Xian took off his coat and threw it on the bed. Jiang Ruolan saw his phone sticking out of the coat's pocket. She didn't understand. Zhou Shufen had clearly answered two calls from her, so how could Xian Zihao be so calm as if nothing had happened?
While Xian Zihao went to the kitchen, Jiang Ruolan took his phone from the pocket and opened it. The two phone calls she made did not exist. Jiang Ruolan was stunned for a mont before she quietly put the phone back into the pocket.
Xian Zihao went back to the bedroom with a plate of sliced ??fruit. He gave her two pieces first before putting the plate on the stand next to the bed. "Eat this fruit first. This fruit can help relieve your nausea. I saw your laptop on the sofa. Did you play with it?"
Jiang Ruolan nodded as she ate the fruit he handed her. "I only played with it for a short while."
Xian Zihao suddenly beca serious. "Didn't I tell you before that even though the laptop has an anti-radiation filter, you still can't touch it? Your unstable pregnancy will get worse and make you dizzy easily. You will vomit more if you keep facing the laptop for a long ti."
Seeing Jiang Ruolan eat the fruit without saying anything, Xian Zihao sighed lightly and sat next to her. He gently put his arm around her shoulder and caressed her back, "I'm just worried you'll feel too uncomfortable. I noticed that these days you eat a lot."
Jiang Ruolan just kept silent. This kind of treatnt really made her feel that Xian Zihao was very close to her. She only needed to get a little closer and put in a bit more effort, then she would be able to completely seize him and not give him to anyone else. Therefore, she was reluctant to let go. Their love story was no longer as flawless as she had with Han Xuegang. Jiang Ruolan only wanted this flawed love story not to ruin and everlasting.

The sound of water could be heard in the bathroom. Jiang Ruolan was still sitting on the bed, looking out the window, at the speckled night sky.
Xian Zihao had finished showering, and by the ti he ca out from the bathroom, Jiang Ruolan was already curled up in her blanket. At first, he wanted to go to the study room to look at so docunts, but seeing Jiang Ruolan's curled up body, he imdiately changed his mind.
Xian Zihao took the files with him and lay down next to her. He held her in his arms and flipped through the file while gently patting her back, coaxing her to sleep.
Jiang Ruolan pressed her head against his neck. Xian Zihao turned his head, smiled at her, and gently rubbed his face against hers.
"Zihao."
"Hmm?"
"Sing a song for ."
Unexpectedly, he didn't reject her. Instead, he looked at her with a gentle smile and asked, "What do you want to hear?"
"I don't care, I guess I've never heard you sing any song before. Usually when you go out to socialize, what do you do? You are not like us, who will go to karaoke after a al."
Xian Zihao did not answer but slowly lifted the blanket from her body.
"I don't even think that you guys will be just like us, ordinary people. In fact, you never did anything romantic for at all."
Xian Zihao smiled and kissed her cheek. "So are we going to be each other's cabbages?"
Have you ever heard the story of the cabbage rose? If you are, then yes. Xian Zihao and Jiang Ruolan were each other's cabbages, so what was there to talk about?
Jiang Ruolan fell asleep while listening to Xian Zihao's voice. He was singing Xu Song's 'Southern Mountains mories'. This song wasn't a popular song, nor was it classical music or foreign music. It was just a light song, and his voice was as clear as a spring.

The next day, Zhan An ca to Greenville Residence and said that even though Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao had been married for half a year, according to Chinese customs, the bride and groom could not et on the day before the wedding took place.
After Jiang Ruolan finished packing her things, she imdiately went to the hotel nearer the place. She also heard that the Jiang Family had co. Although they had arrived in H City, Jiang Ruolan did not go to see them at all. Why should she? In short, other than an external relationship with Jiang Family, there was not the slightest bit of kinship between her and that family.
The host of the wedding could decide by himself on how he was going to introduce Jiang Guanyu's identity. ?
Xian Guiying will accompany her this afternoon, including tomorrow. She will accompany her all day before the wedding.
"Sister-in-law, you haven't finished showering yet? Just now, my brother called and asked what we wanted to eat, so I said I wanted to eat cake. The hotel waiter had sent the cake. Quickly finished showering and ate it together with ."
Jiang Ruolan was soaking in the bubbly bathtub with her eyes closed and her head resting on the edge of it. She didn't know how long she had been in there, but she almost fell asleep when she heard Xian Guiying call out to her.
"Eat first. I wanted to soak in this water for a while longer."
"Don't, sister-in-law! You will faint if you soak in it for too long. A few years ago, I had this experience when I was in the US. I used to have a fever and like to soak comfortably in the water. I did not go out, but when I woke up, my vision darkened, and I almost fainted. Please co out, sister-in-law."
"All right, I'll go out." Jiang Ruolan felt helpless. The bathroom was so quiet, so quiet that she could ditate and reminisce about the past. She could also see a lot of things thoroughly in this empty space, and she really didn't want to go out.
Five minutes later, Jiang Ruolan ca out of the bathroom and saw Xian Guiying, who was wearing a thin nightgown, waiting for her at the bed. She was holding a small plate of sliced cake in her hands and eating it.
