My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 181 - She Has Been Covered In Injuries Since She Was Young



But now that she had such an outstanding husband like Xian Zihao, she was even more proud and wanted to keep these blessings forever.

"Isn't she mad because you always sided with Cui Liuxian when you were young? Pushing Guiying aside and letting her play alone, you don't even care about your little sister. What good brother you are!" Jiang Ruolan smiled playfully.

Xian Zihao cast a sidelong glance at her. "If I really don't love her, then that girl might be wandering in India right now."

"Why did she go wandering in India?"

"Because when Guiying was young, she was obsessed with Aladdin's Divine Light. She always talked about going to India in search of Aladdin's Divine Light. She wanted to use it to capture Cui Liuxian."

Jiang Ruolan lay on the sofa, smiling. Seeing her smile, Xian Zihao helplessly looked down at her. His lips curved into a gentle smile. "Why are you smiling like that?"

Jiang Ruolan laughed for a long time. For some reason, every time she saw the way Xian Zihao treated her warmly, as if he belonged to her, she would feel especially good.

All of a sudden, she sat up. She wrapped her arms around his neck, then leaned against his chest like a spoiled child. 

When Xian Zihao hugged her with a helpless smile on his face, Jiang Ruolan raised her head and looked at him intently. "If there really is an Aladdin's Divine Lamp in this world, what kind of wish would you, an omnipotent Xian Zihao, make?"

He didn't say anything, just smiled at her.

"You can't be too satisfied with your life, be too happy, and have no desire, right?" Seeing him smile without saying a word, Jiang Ruolan stared at his face intently. She really wanted to paint a picture like this into her mind.

"If I could, I would wish to return to G City twenty years ago." Xian Zihao said gently.

"Ah? Why?" Jiang Ruolan wondered.

Xian Zihao's eyes were brimming with smiles. He gently kissed Jiang Ruolan's lips but did not answer her question.

Xian Group's Building, 18th Floor.

"President Xian, this is information on the suicide case of Zhou Guanyu twenty years ago, and the broken white crystal necklace. I suspect that it is one of the items involved in the big corruption case that we have yet to resolve. I asked someone to confirm it based on the photo, and he said that the necklace is fake and that the crystals on the necklace were high quality crystals."

Assistant Bai pushed open the door to the CEO's office and hurried inside. She handed a pile of thick documents in her hand.

Xian Zihao closed the file in his hands and took a glance at the folder Assistant Bai handed to him. He took it and opened the file at the same time. "Zhou Guanyu? Her surname is Zhou?"

"I had checked with someone and found out from eyewitnesses who saw Zhou Guanyu committing suicide. I found out that the news of Zhou Guanyu's suicide was bought at a high price to keep it secret. Some news sources do not have much information about the incident, and most eyewitnesses from that year were not in G City anymore."

Assistant Bai suddenly said in a low voice, "President Xian, I heard from the older generation that the people who were involved in the corruption case of the main military equipment 24 years ago had died violently. Also, some officials who were injured have received treatment at private hospitals abroad, and because of that, Senior Zhou had traveled to the United States. Everything that happened during those years and the way to deal with it was very similar to what has happened to Zhou Guanyu."

Xian Zihao raised his head. Assistant Bai, who had just met his slightly cold gaze, stopped her speculation.

"Have you looked through the approval documents that Secretary Du has been working on recently?" Xian Zihao put down the documents in his hands and glanced at Assistant Bai.

As President Xian expected, Du Yating and the Construction Bureau are very close, and recently, he has been involved in the dining affairs of the big merchants in various places. I also heard that the president of the Shui Real Estate and the deputy captain of the Xing police force are cousins."

Xian Zihao nodded indifferently but didn't say anything.

"President Xian, are you still not going to alert the enemy?"

"There's no hurry. What should happen has already happened. They won't dare to make any movements in the near future. It's still useful for me to keep him around. Go back to your work." Xian Zihao calmly put aside the information in front of him and picked up another file.

Assistant Bai nodded, turned around and walked out.

Xian Zihao's gaze was fixated on the file in his hands the entire time. Only after a long time did he blink, looking at the stack of documents with a secretive look.

It was six-thirty in the evening, and suddenly a red Ferrari parked not far from Xian Group's building.

"Call Old Tong to see me tomorrow and ask him to bring the form with him." Xian Zihao slowly walked out of Xian Group and said a few words to the people behind him.

Just as he walked down the stairs, he caught a glimpse of the red Ferrari parked not too far away.

With just a glance, Xian Zihao already knew the owner of the car. He silently sighed and laughed helplessly as he watched in a flash the red Ferrari driving away.

The owner of the red Ferrari seemed really angry, and suddenly, the loud sound of the throttle being stepped on could be heard. In the blink of an eye, the car was already speeding over a hundred meters, and at very high speeds, the car overturned another car, one by one and the ear-piercing sound of tires grinding on the ground caused the passersby to be filled with surprise.

The black Land Rover did not seem to be in a hurry, though the red Ferrari in front of it was gone. 

****

Half an hour later, on a deserted beach to the east.

The red Ferrari was parked on the side of the road, and Qin Gengxin was standing by the sea.

Xian Zihao slowly walked towards him while stepping on the sand and rocks under his feet.

"How many years has it been?" Qin Gengxin did not look back. He looked at the distant coastline that seemed to be covered by a layer of thick fog. "How many years has it been since we had an impulsive race?"

"Six years." Xian Zihao answered while standing by Qin Gengxin's side.

The sky was already dark, and the distant mist seemed to carry the last light. The wind was blowing, and the greenery on both streets kept dancing.

"In those years, the number of wins and losses in each race was almost the same. At that time, none of us was willing to lose to the others, whether in competitions at the mall or in the business industry, we will always be on par, even if we compete openly and secretly. When did it start to change? In the past, I always felt that my blood was boiling, but now, there is no meaning to it at all." Qin Gengxin looked at the sunset's light. His voice was cold.

"That's because you're young and arrogant at that time." Xian Zihao smiled faintly.

"However, everything that happened at that time is still clear in my mind. Even though I am still young and arrogant, at least I still have a sense of truth." Qin Gengxin snickered. "Time is really scary. Even a heartless person like me would feel that way."

Xian Zihao pursed his lips into a smile and teased, "The best thing about you when you were young, is that you've always known your own limits."

Qin Gengxin laughed. "Are you praising me or scolding me?"

Xian Zihao smiled but didn't say anything.

"Sometimes I really admire you."

"A lot of people say that."

"You really can remain calm about Zhou Shufen's matter up till now."

"It's just a matter of the past, why should I bother about it?

Qin Gengxin mocked. "Even Jiang Ruolan thinks this is a small matter?"

Xian Zihao smiled. "Looks like she is."

Qin Gengxin abruptly turned around and looked at him. He didn't say anything for a long time, but his eyes were extremely cold.

After a while, he narrowed his eyes and said, "She's not Zhou Shufen. Even if she looks tenacious, she definitely won't be able to endure repeated emotional harm. Xian Zihao, let me warn you, she has been covered in injuries since she was young. Don't hurt her again!"

Xian Zihao was silent for a moment, then said warmly, "I won't hurt her."
