Chapter 328 – Her Man
The night before Xian Zihao's trip, Jiang Ruolan prepared a table full of delicious dishes. When Xian Zihao returned from work, he saw that she was busy working inside and outside the kitchen. He stood by the door and smiled at her.
As she had spent time with Xiong Ruogang during the day, Jiang Ruolan's overall appearance became more lively. She wore a simple dress with a cute apron tied to her waist. Her long hair was tied in a bun style.
Perhaps it was because Xian Zihao will be on a business trip tomorrow, Jiang Ruolan had become more motivated to prepare the dinner. She just wanted to cook a sumptuous and delicious dinner for her beloved husband before he left.
"Go take a shower. Once you're done, you can eat." Jiang Ruolan stuck her head out of the kitchen and smiled sweetly at Xian Zihao, who was standing in front of the door.
However, Xian Zihao didn't go to the shower. Instead, he took off his suit jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and walked to her side. "Let me do it."
"No, you need enough rest for tomorrow's business trip. Let me prepare it. Get out, don't disturb my work ~" Jiang Ruolan insisted on pushing him out of the kitchen. "Even though people in your class always eat high-quality food outside, I am sure that the food is not as tasty as my cooking. I will use my skills to fill my husband's stomach until you remember it when you went on a business trip!"
Xian Zihao looked at her with a smile. "Are you implying something?"
Jiang Ruolan stood in the kitchen and waved a spatula in her hand. Then, she said with a little frustration, "I heard there are a lot of beautiful women in Shanghai. Surely some of them will accompany you to dinner."
"Like you said, no matter how delicious it is, your cooking still tastes better than the food there." Xian Zihao was about to pour a glass of water as he looked back at her intensely. "Ruolan, the business world is full of many kinds of people, but I just want you."
"I didn't know you could be romantic." Jiang Ruolan grinned happily.
At this moment, Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt that the tears she had shed and the things she had sacrificed to be with him was worth it.
She smiled and asked coquettishly. "Are you sure your business trip will take half a month? At that time, even the Lantern Festival will be over."
"The situation has changed. Half a month is the shortest. If it takes too long …" Xian Zihao paused before he replied, "I will try to shorten the trip as soon as possible. Recently, there are several more annual events in Shanghai. I can't avoid not attending it."
Xian Zihao looked apologetic as he said this. "I'm sorry, Ruolan. When you are pregnant, I have to leave you for a business trip."
Jiang Ruolan raised her eyebrow. "Men should be careful and meticulous. They need to love their wives and children. However, if you spend all day around your wife and children, it's called doing nothing. I'm not spoiled. Besides, as husband and father to my child, your responsibilities are heavier than I thought."
Perhaps when a woman was pregnant, she really wanted someone to be with her at all times. She wanted to act coquettishly, and she even wanted to cause some trouble occasionally.
But her husband was Xian Zihao, the grandson of General Xian. He had things he needed to do, and he had responsibilities he had to fulfill. She can't be selfish at this time.
Xian Zihao looked at her silently, watching her swing the spatula in her hand. He then looked at the hot pan and chuckled. "Don't you seem to have forgotten something?"
"Huh?" Jiang Ruolan snapped out of her daze, and after smelling the burning smell, she quickly went to stand in front of the pan and turned off the gas. She looked at the pan with a look of regret on her face.
With a sorrowful and desperate look that seemed as if her soul had left her body, yet had to pretend to be awe-inspiring and righteous, in the end, she was still exposed.
The meat was charred.
Xian Zihao could not hold back his laughter. As he looked at the busy young woman in the kitchen, the smile on his face never disappeared.
It was night. Although the two of them would be separated soon, it was inevitable that they would have a happy time together.
Xian Zihao's passion was like fire, as if it was never enough even though they had done it a few rounds. It was said that all these times they had been intimate, Xian Zihao had restrained himself.
Thus, when Jiang Ruolan woke up the next day, she could hardly get out of bed again and her body ached.
If it weren't for Xian Zihao's flight in the morning, she would have resumed her sleep. Although Xian Zihao eased his movements when he woke up, Jiang Ruolan would still be awake from her sleep. She woke up at the same time as him. Perhaps it was because she was so attached to his warmth that she could sense him waking up.
Jiang Ruolan watched Xian Zihao, who was dressed neatly and elegantly, walk past her. She suddenly felt delighted and her heart was filled with a sense of pride.
'Look! This is her man!'
'This slender and tall man standing in front of her was her husband, her baby's father.'
Since Xian Zihao had to go to Xian Group first to solve some matters, it was inconvenient for her to send him off. She could only send him off to the front door.
Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to step out of the door, she felt a burst of fresh and clean breath come straight at her. Xian Zihao pulled her to his chest and hugged her waist tightly. A sudden and intense kiss landed on her lips.
His kiss was too sudden, and Jiang Ruolan tried hard to resist it. She was afraid that she would delay his flight.
Xian Zihao's grip on her waist tightened. He didn't intend to let her go. Seeing all her effort was useless, Jiang Ruolan could only close her eyes, wrap her arms around his neck, and actively respond to it.
"Zihao, you will be late." Jiang Ruolan quietly reminded him as she struggled for a moment.
When she raised her head, she saw that he was gazing deeply at her. Xian Zihao's eyes seemed to contain something more, something that was deeply entangled, causing her to be at a loss on what to do.
"Idiot." Xian Zihao smiled faintly and his voice was as clear as a spring. He looked at her for a while, then suddenly leaned over and pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead.
His body exuded a faint fragrance of aftershave. The room was illuminated by the morning sun and his appearance under the sunray was so beautiful that it caused Jiang Ruolan to refuse to part with him.
"Ruolan."
"Hmm?" She looked up.
"You're so beautiful today."
At this time, as Jiang Ruolan hurried to send him to the front door, she did not comb her hair, nor did she wash her face.
Beautiful?
She couldn't figure out since when Xian Zihao's aesthetic skills became so poor, but oh well, she enjoyed it!
Xian Zihao's plane took off at 11.00 am. Jiang Ruolan was lying on the balcony, soaking up the sun. As she raised her head, she saw a faint black dot flying across the blue sky. She stared at it for a moment.
When she withdrew her gaze, she realized that the sun was shining brightly today. Her vision was almost completely dark, blinded by the sun.
Xian Zihao was on a business trip, and Jiang Ruolan was still not working, so she was bored. After a week, basically all the Spring Festival holidays for the company were over, and Xiong Ruogang didn't have time to accompany her anymore.
Since Jiang Ruolan would occasionally go to the Fengyu Media to deliver some new dishes she cooked at home for Xiong Ruogang, her former colleagues all know that she had returned to H City.
In the afternoon, Jiang Ruolan remembered that Nanny Cheng had called last night to tell her that Old Man Xian had asked her to return to Xian Residence and spend time with him for two days.
Just as Jiang Ruolan was about to return to Greenville Residence to pack her things, she suddenly was called by Fengyu Media's New Chief Editor, Huang Zemin.
"Ruolan, I'm really sorry for bothering you now, but since you used to work for our company before, I need your help. Basically, it was like this…We have a new assignment to interview the Construction Bureau, but the new director of the Construction Bureau is the former chief. He has a rather difficult personality and he doesn't want to meet any new faces. Since this assignment is very important, can you help us interview him?"
Jiang Ruolan pondered for a moment. Huang Zemin was the new chief editor appointed by Qin Gengxin, so she didn't have much of a relationship with him. She had already resigned for so long, and there was no such thing as a favor between the two of them. Suddenly out of nowhere, he wanted to ask for her help?
It was simple. Huang Zemin was asking for her help because if anything happened, he would be off the hook and the blame would be placed on her shoulders since she was no longer an employee of this company.
No, Jiang Ruolan can't do this kind of business.
Therefore, she bluntly rejected him. "I'm not in the mood."
