Chapter 256 - I Shouldn’t Put My Expectation On You III
Seeing Xian Guiying slightly bend her waist as if she wanted to hide her big belly made Jian Ruolan frowned. Xian Guiying shook her head slightly, signaling that she should not tell Qin Gengxin about it.
If Xian Guiying did not want to tell everyone about it, then Jiang Ruolan will let everything develop as it should. But, no matter how much Xian Guiying wanted to hide it, she cannot change the fact that she carried Qin Gengxin's child. Clearly, Xian Guiying didn't want to cause Qin Gengxin any trouble because of her own selfishness. Therefore, Jiang Ruolan could only sigh.
As soon she reached the car, the car's window opened, and Qin Gengxin handed her an exquisite box.
"What is this?" Jiang Ruolan took it.
"Bombs." He laughed.
Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. "You're going to use it at my wedding tomorrow?"
"You really know !"
"Go, die!" Jiang Ruolan lowered her head, tore the packaging, and opened it. She saw a letter inside. She looked at Qin Gengxin with embarrassnt. "You agree with my resignation?"
"What is it? Isn't this sothing you've always wanted?" Qin Gengxin raised his eyebrows and leaned his left hand against the steering wheel while the other on his lips. He smiled at her with a face full of happiness.
Just when Jiang Ruolan thought that he would let go and sincerely bless her and Xian Zihao's marriage, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed. Qin Gengxin said mockingly, "Don't be too happy too early, this grandfather is 'retreating for the sake of advancing."
Jiang Ruolan imdiately rolled her eyes. She wanted to throw the box in her hand to Qin Gengxin's head. If it wasn't for the fact that she saw Xian Guiying had already entered the hotel and refused even to greet Qin Gengxin, Jiang Ruolan wouldn't waste her ti with him.
Jiang Ruolan suddenly asked with a serious expression, "How many red packets are you planning to give tomorrow?"
"It's good enough that this grandpa didn't blow up the hotel, so why should I give you a red packet? You wish!" Qin Gengxin glanced sideways at her. His gaze seed to indicate that he was thinking, 'How could he be attracted to an arrogant woman like Jiang Ruolan who only knows money.'
After sending Qin Gengxin off, for so reason, Jiang Ruolan had an inexplicable desire to see Xian Zihao. Although working hours at Xian Group ended at five or six in the evening, she recalled that Xian Zihao had said over the phone that he would be very busy today. Without wasting ti, Jiang Ruolan went to her car and drove to Xian Group.
When Jiang Ruolan arrived at Xian Group, a few security guards who already knew her and the old man in charge of the mailroom greeted her with a smile. Just as she arrived at the CEO's office, she saw the office was completely dark.
Jiang Ruolan had ant to surprise Xian Zihao in his office, but instead, she looked at the empty and dark office with a sigh.
Xian Zihao has been preparing for this wedding for a long ti, so Jiang Ruolan didn't have to rush to et him. Everything was arranged according to her benefit.
The organizers of these weddings were specially booked from Beijing and they were the country's top wedding team. Although they initially planned to maintain a low profile, the Xian Family still emphasized quality. Even if they want to keep a low profile, they couldn't be sloppy.

The appointing day was finally here. Early in the morning, Jiang Ruolan was awakened from sleep and taken out of bed by a makeup artist. She took a shower, put on makeup, and changed her wedding dress. Xian Guiying and the others helped her with many trivial things.
Jiang Ruolan actually didn't sleep much last night. After lying down, she could not sleep, so she took advantage of when Xian Guiying fell asleep to put on so clothes and sat at the window while looking outside. She did not know how many hours passed before she finally fell asleep due to fatigue.
If it was a western-style wedding, Jiang Ruolan didn't have to get up so early, but the Old Man that Chinese people should follow the Chinese's Custom. They didn't have to go to church to hear strangers mumbling about inexplicable and wonderful things.
Zhan An had arrived very early. Xiong Ruogang had originally wanted to help Jiang Ruolan put on the wedding dress, but seeing how she only kept holding the wedding dress and not knowing where she was going to start, Jiang Ruolan's heart had started to tremble. This stupid girl was just good at talking.
The hem of the dress was very long, but luckily, Jiang Ruolan was tall. After wearing high heels, the wedding gown looked very much in line with her body shape. Zhan An smiled contentedly.
A small and delicate necklace was paired with the gown. Jiang Ruolan didn't wear anything on her wrist. There was no need to wear all the jewelry on her body. It was enough with a ring on the ring finger of her right hand.
Ever since Xian Zihao had put it on her, she had never taken it off.
By the ti she was ready, it was already 9 am. The makeup artist had applied a special makeup for the bride. Her eyelashes were long and thin, and the eyes were big and bright.
Jiang Ruolan walked in front of the mirror and looked at her reflection. She did not dare to believe that the person in the mirror was her. She had never thought that one day she would be so elegant and graceful.
Xiong Ruogang wore a bridesmaid dress that had the sa color as hers. She exclaid in surprise, "Wow, Sis Jiang, you look like Snow White!"
Jiang Ruolan smiled. Was there a Snow White like her? She was more suited to be the evil stepmother.
***
The wedding ceremony will begin at 9:58 am. By right, the groom's car should have arrived by 9: 30 am, but by 9: 40 am, it was still quiet outside.
It was 9.55 am. Jiang Ruolan stood at the door of her room, smiling and chatting with so of her friends and colleagues who ca to congratulate her.
The clock was ticking slowly at 9.58 am.
10.00 am.
10.30 am.
10.58 am.
An hour or two late was nothing, but for soone like Xian Zihao, who had a sense of ti, he will definitely co early and not be late.
Zhan An was afraid that Jiang Ruolan would get anxious from waiting, so she looked at her with a smile, trying to comfort her. She said that it might be because of the traffic jam.
Jiang Ruolan just smiled and said nothing.
Afterward, she pretended not to see Zhan An secretly calling Xian Zihao. Old Man Xian and Xian Jian rushed over. Old Man Xian was trying to coax her, "I said it before, it's not good to live in the city. There's always a traffic jam."
Based on the Old Man Xian's willingness to explain and saying such comforting words to her made her heart warm, but at the sa ti, it also didn't make enough sense.
Zhan An tried to comfort her again, but by the ti she spoke, Jiang Ruolan had already lost all confidence. They never got through Xian Zihao's phone, and the Greenville Residence was only a few ters away from the Halcyon Hotel.
Jiang Ruolan's colleagues and family mbers started to look at her sympathetically, but she could only smile. To this ti, she still holds on to her marriage.
As a woman, she reached this step not because she was stubborn, and it was certainly not because she asked for it. From the very beginning, she did not want to get involved or have a relationship with Xian Zihao, but he slowly entered her heart.
Exactly at eleven o'clock, Qin Gengxin and Jiang Yijun arrived, but there's no Xian Zihao. Qin Gengxin and Jiang Yijun must have t at the hotel door and went upstairs together. When they arrived, Old Man Xian and Xian Jian were stunned to see Jiang Yijun, but he did not notice anyone, only walked towards Jiang Ruolan. "What's going on?"
By looking at Qin Gengxin's expression, Jiang Ruolan smiled bitterly.
"Zihao may be on his way. He has to go sowhere for a while and will arrive soon. He --" When Qin Gengxin said this, his eyes did not directly look at her.
Jiang Ruolan stopped him. "You don't know where he is, do you?" Jiang Ruolan asked with a smile.
