Chapter 444 - Zhou Shufen’s Last Appearance II
Jiang Ruolan looked into Zhou Shufen's eyes that were full of sincere remorse. Although she was still as proud as ever, the apology she gave to her was not fake.
"Actually, I was still unwilling to let him go. Xian Zihao is a good man. He's not soone that any woman can have, and the reason why I always look down on you because I feel that you don't deserve him. But after so long, I finally saw it. So things are not ant to be compared in this way, like feelings and destiny."
Exactly as Zhou Shufen finished her words, Jiang Ruolan's hand that was holding the glass trembled slightly. She raised her eyes and smiled strangely, "Are you leaving?"
"You and Zihao never really give up on each other, no matter how much misunderstanding occurs between the two of you. That's right, let tell you sothing else." Zhou Shufen hesitated for a mont, "I don't know if you know what had happened between the Xian Family and Zhou Family twenty-one years ago. I don't want to say too much; I just want to tell you what happened on your? wedding day."
"The night before your wedding, Xiaoyi suddenly had a very high fever. Although I was not very happy with your marriage, I still wanted to try my best to restore my relationship with Zihao, but after he ca to send Xiaoyi to the hospital and brought her back to the hotel, he left. I couldn't hold him back. At that mont, all he wanted to do was keep his promise to you and pick you up early, but grandfather suddenly showed up and said that he wanted to chat with him. After that, I went back to my room."
Jiang Ruolan's grip on the glass gradually tightened. She lowered her eyes and looked at the water in the glass as she said hoarsely, "Is that so?"
After knowing the truth, Jiang Ruolan's calm deanor made Zhou Shufen frown. She looked at her and asked, "Is there sothing on your mind?"
"Actually, Zihao has explained it to , but I still wanted to thank you for telling all things today. Honestly, I suddenly understand why Xian Zihao liked you in the past. Miss Zhou, when you put down your jealousy and your pride, you were indeed a charming woman. I'm very grateful that you were able to say all these things today, but I have to leave now."
With that, Jiang Ruolan stood up. Just as she was about to leave, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a familiar black Land Rover parked outside the window. Xian Zihao got out of the car and looked in her direction.
Jiang Ruolan's expression froze as she turned to look at Zhou Shufen. Zhou Shufen also looked out the window before sighing with a smile, "Looks like I really lost."
Jiang Ruolan asked her, "How did he know I was here?"
Zhou Shufen pursed her lips. "I had called him and wanted to et him, but he didn't agree. I told him that I also had invited you, so he asked for my location."
With that, Zhou Shufen shook her head again, "Honestly, Jiang Ruolan, I admit that I'm very jealous of you right now, but I also know that I brought this to myself. I can't bla anyone, and I know my own personality. It's hard for to change it."
Seeing Xian Zihao enter, Jiang Ruolan did not sit down. She hesitated before saying, "Pushing away a man who you love dearly is definitely a very painful feeling, right?"
Zhou Shufen was sensitive to her words and suddenly raised her head to look at her. "Ruolan?"
Jiang Ruolan snapped out of her daze and smiled. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked such a question. I didn't an to add insult to injury."
Zhou Shufen frowned hesitantly. "You always look very dreamy today. I rember every ti you face , you're always energetic and have a determined look in your eyes. Is sothing wrong?"
By this ti, Xian Zihao had already walked over. He first looked at Jiang Ruolan, then looked at Zhou Shufen before politely nodding at her. "Sorry for being late.? The afternoon eting ended a bit late."
Zhou Shufen was distracted by Xian Zihao's voice as she turned around to look at him. She smiled and replied, "It's fine. Ruolan and I are having a good chat. It's just that she doesn't seem to be feeling well."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable again?" Xian Zihao gently pulled Jiang Ruolan towards him, making her face him. He looked at her with concern. "Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Does your stomach hurt again?"
"No, I'm just a little tired." Jiang Ruolan smiled.
"It's very easy to get tired after being pregnant for seven months, let alone having two of them in her stomach." Zhou Shufen said from the side, "How about this, Zihao, why don't you send her back? I've already told Ruolan everything that needs to be said."
Xian Zihao could hear the relaxed tone in Zhou Shufen's voice. He turned and glanced at her, as if he understood sothing from her words. His lips were slightly curved. "Have a pleasant journey."
Zhou Shufen nodded with a smile. She picked up her bag and left. After walking about two to three ters away from both of them, she stopped. She turned her head slightly and looked deeply at Xian Zihao, who was holding Jiang Ruolan with great concern. Her fingers tightened around the bag strap, and then she continued walking outside. Her lip curled in relief.
She knew that so things were really irreparable. No matter how she did it and fought for it, everything would be the sa. She just didn't want to put herself in an awkward position anymore. She knew the ending,? so she wisely decided to back off. At least, in Xian Zihao's heart, she would forever be the sa Zhou Shufen, who always acted stubbornly and not a despicable woman who tried to destroy other people's families.
This was the most brilliant move. Zhou Shufen was always thinking of a way out for herself.
anwhile, for Jiang Ruolan… Where was her path of retreat? What was the best way for her to escape unscathed?
"Let's go ho. With your bigger and heavy stomach, try not to go out on your own in the future. No matter who you want to et, try asking soone to stay with you. Don't make worry." Xian Zihao held Jiang Ruolan's hand with a trace of reproach in his eyes.
Jiang Ruolan turned around and looked outside the window. "Zihao, there's a famous watch store across the street. Should we go take a look?"
Xian Zihao raised his eyebrows. "You want to buy a watch?"
"We've been married a long ti, but I've never given you anything. Anyway, I had worked before and saved so money. I want to buy you a good watch."
Hearing that, Xian Zihao couldn't help laughing and pulled her into his embrace. "No need, I won't let my wife buy anything for . Since this money is your hard-earned money, you can keep it yourself. You can buy whatever you want and don't think of buying sothing for . I do not lack in anything. It will be enough for by having you by my side."
Jiang Ruolan didn't answer but instead walked towards the store across the street. Seeing that she really wanted to go there, Xian Zihao could only sigh and accompany her. "Why do you really want to go there?"
"Ever since we were married a year ago, the mont I appeared at your side, your life has changed a lot, and because of , it has beco a ss. I want to give you this watch so you can forget all the unpleasant things that happened this year." Jiang Ruolan turned her head to look at him with a smile. "Zihao, I just wanted to give you sothing. You're not allowed to refuse."
When Xian Zihao heard that Jiang Ruolan still needed to seek his opinion when she wanted to give him sothing, his heart stirred. He couldn't help but laugh as if he was coaxing a child, "I think you want to eat alive. Little by little, everything in my body belongs to you from head to toe."
Jiang Ruolan listened to his teasing and hit his chest. His words made her feel more sweet and warm than any sweet words she could say.
"If you don't like it, you can put it in the box. I won't force you to wear it." Jiang Ruolan glanced at him, then pushed open the door to walk into the store.
However, Xian Zihao was quicker than her. He pushed the door open for her with a smile. "It's a gift from my wife, how can I bear not wearing it?"
