My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 208 - I Want To Love Zihao Until My Hair Turns White And Never Leave Him Until My Death



"Why wait for half a month?" Jiang Ruolan didn't understand.

Xian Zihao smiled. Her puzzled face imprinted in his eyes, and his smile deepened.

After a while, Jiang Ruolan finally understood the meaning, but she felt that it was impossible. At the time in G City, Xian Zihao said that their wedding would be held soon. Could it be...

Jiang Ruolan stared at him with uncertainty. "Don't tell me you …"

Xian Zihao gave her a meaningful look, but he did not answer her question.

Jiang Ruolan opened her mouth in shock. 

Will they really be going to hold their wedding?

This was too shocking to her, but it was actually the best outcome, wasn't it?

Xian Zihao's smile, his patience, and his tenderness made her feel as if he was very close to her, but at the same time, he was also very far away.

So to Xian Zihao, Zhou Shufen was a wound he couldn't heal? 

They both have been hurt by love but were lucky enough to meet each other at the right time. In that case, why don't they tie each other down? Perhaps, it would be for the rest of their lives.

"What is it? You don't want to get married?" The corner of his mouth lifted slightly.

Jiang Ruolan raised her hand and scratched her chin like a hooligan, her eyes shifting back and forth between Xian Zihao and her. Then, she said with a smile, "Oh, I was thinking about my husband. Should I fry, cook, or stew him on the wedding night? I'm trying to figure out how to eat him? If I don't eat him well, I'm afraid he will run away."

Xian Zihao's face darkened and lightly patted her head like a child. He chuckled, "Let's see who will be the one to bring up this case on that day!"

Jiang Ruolan: "…"

At 6: 30 in the evening…

Zhou Shufen's wrist was already bandaged and examined by Dr. Li, so she'll be fine. The Old Man's birthday banquet was about to start on time.

Jiang Ruolan initially wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but she was pushed by Zhan An. She said not to snatch the job that she had fought so hard for.

Jiang Ruolan became embarrassed, so she could only go to the second floor to check on Xian Guiying. 

However, when she just got to the second floor, she suddenly saw Xian Guiying, who was following behind Xian Jian, had an ugly expression on her face.

Jiang Ruolan heard that Xian Guiying was summoned by Xian Jian to the study room. She didn't know what they were talking about in there. 

Jiang Ruolan saw Xian Guiying sneaking a glance at her and immediately knew that Xian Jian must be interrogated about her.      

She knew the conversation didn't achieve a good result based on how Xian Jian was holding back his anger. They had already bumped into each other. How could Jiang Ruolan go downstairs and pretend not to see anything?

The corner of her mouth twitched, and she chuckled at Xian Jian who had a cold expression. "Dad, Guiying."

Xian Jian looked at her deeply for a while before saying indifferently, "When are you going to divorce Zihao? Jiang Ruolan, it's not the question of whether or not we welcome you. Because of your relationship, the relationship between our Xian Family and Jiang Family started to stiffen a few months ago, and Senior Zhou doesn't seem to have any good feelings towards you either."

Jiang Ruolan was already used to Xian Jian's temper. Moreover, from their encounter at the welcoming banquet, she could tell that regardless of whether she submitted to his words or contradicted him, he still wouldn't like her. According to what Xian Guiying had said, Xian Jian had had other women outside before although at that time, he was already with Zhan An. So, who gave him a right to order her to divorce Xian Zihao?

But this kind of father-in-law who put on a solemn front and even coldly reprimanded her, Jiang Ruolan felt that it was better to "respect" him rather than oppose him.

And so …

"Aiya, dad. Mom is still in the kitchen, helping Nanny Cheng. You should feel sorry for her and coax her to rest for a while! Why are you still standing here?"

Xian Jian was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Ruolan to be such a dumb person and didn't understand his words.

Xian Guiying, on the other hand, laughed out loud. She quickly shut her mouth and secretly smiled behind him.

Xian Jian turned around and glared at her, but Xian Guiying pretended not to notice.

"What are you trying to do?" Xian Jian stared angrily at Jiang Ruolan's innocent face, "Don't play tricks with me!"

"Dad, when Zihao and I first got together, he called me honey all day long. He loved me so much so of course, I loved him dearly too. Don't you feel that it's too cruel to let us separate because of such nonsense?"

Xian Jian frowned, "What do you want for you to leave him?"

Jiang Ruolan: "Zihao and I are willing to be a wing bird in heaven and a branch in earth¹. I want to love Zihao until my hair turns white and never leave him until my death. "

Xian Jian: "..." 

Jiang Ruolan's eyes were filled with innocence and had stars in them. "Dad, on account of Zihao and me being so affectionate, can you stop trying to separate us? I won't leave him even if I die!"

Xian Jian's face instantly turned ashen. Jiang Ruolan could faintly hear the sound of his grinding teeth. 

Alright, this was the time for her to retreat. Seeing how she had provoked Xian Jian, Jiang Ruolan felt a little regretful, but there was really nothing she could do about it. As the saying goes, 'this fight cannot be avoided'.

Just as she was about to go downstairs, she bumped into Xian Zihao, who had just returned after sending Dr. Li home. 

Jiang Ruolan immediately went to hug him. Xian Zihao was knocked off his feet, and his arms went straight to her waist. When he saw Xian Jian's ashen face, it was as if he could tell at a glance what Jiang Ruolan was up against. 

Xian Zihao frowned and gently pushed her away from him with half an arm, holding her shoulders with both hands. He secretly sighed and smiled. She

Xian Zihao looked at Jiang Ruolan with furrowed brows. "Why are you rushing down so recklessly? This is the stairs, what if you fall?"

"With you here, how could I fall?" Jiang Ruolan suddenly dove head first into his arms, even using a sweet and greasy voice. Xian Zihao stiffened for a moment, then glanced at Xian Jian, who rolled his eyes in anger. He immediately patted on her back, lowered his head, and whispered into her ear, "Idiot, don't go overboard."

"I know." Jiang Ruolan whispered in his arms.   

Who didn't know that Xian Jian loved his face? Even if he just stood there and no matter how angry he was, he wouldn't show that he didn't care too much about a woman like Jiang Ruolan. 

In any case, they were all in the same house, and there were still so many people around.

Xian Zihao smiled and continued patting Jiang Ruolan's back. He then nodded at Xian Jian. "Dad, I've spoiled Ruolan too much. Don't bother with her."

Xian Jian snorted coldly with a livid expression on his face.

Xian Guiying carefully bypassed her father and walked over. She secretly gave Jiang Ruolan thumbs up and smiled to herself as she carefully walked down the stairs.
