My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 257 - I Shouldn’t Put My Expectation On You IV



Qin Gengxin looked at her in silence. When the smile on Jiang Ruolan's face widened, he frowned. "Jiang Ruolan."

Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath. Actually, she knew that if she had even the slightest bit of self-awareness, she would never come here and be a laughingstock. However, they had already reached such a stage. Leaving and advancing both bear the same result. Even if she only had 1 point left in her Qi and blood after her final loss, she still wanted to wait for the announcement of victory before retreating.

"Ruolan, Zihao might really be in a hurry. Why don't we ask Assistant Bai if there's an emergency in the office? Maybe something happened at the company, and he had to rush over there." Old Man Xian walked toward her using his walking stick. He looked at Jiang Ruolan, who was calm and had her back straightened. "Don't be hasty in making a decision, child."

Then the Old Man's gaze suddenly fell on Jiang Yijun, he looked at him fixedly. Xian Jian also walked slowly, his eyes not shifting from Jiang Yijun's face from beginning to end.

"Jiang Ruolan, it's still not too late to regret." Jiang Yijun stood in front of her and frowned slightly. "Just say the words. I'll take you away."

Qin Gengxin was stunned for a moment. He glanced at Jiang Yijun's expression as if he had just realized something.

However, Jiang Ruolan merely smiled and stretched out her hand towards Qin Gengxin. "Lend me your car keys."

Qin Gengxin hesitated. "Let's wait a little longer. I believe Zihao will arrive soon."

Jiang Ruolan kept smiling at him. "Lend me the car keys."

"Ruolan!"

"Lend it to me." She insisted, still smiling.

Qin Gengxin frowned and slowly placed a black electronic car key into her hand.

"Ruolan, what are you doing? Do you know where Zihao is?" Zhan An looked at her worriedly.

Jiang Ruolan only paused for a moment, looking at Qin Gengxin indifferently as if no one else was present. "Which hotel did Zhou Shufen stay at?"

The moment she asked this question, everyone looked at her with different expressions. At this moment, Jiang Ruolan didn't have the time to pay attention to them anymore. She only kept looking at Qin Gengxin's slightly opened mouth.

Finally, he gave her an address.

Jiang Ruolan smiled at him. She left the room and walked into the elevator while everyone else was trying to stop her.

"Ruolan."

It was a fine, sunny day, and the winter sun was shining through the sparse foliage along the road. The road was dark and uncertain, and driving through it was like passing through a tunnel of time.

The figure in front of the Jiang Family seven years ago to the man who covered her with a blanket and called her fiancée in his hotel room half a year ago, to that night when he hugged her gently and patiently and slowly sang "Southern Mountains Memories" for her, everything slowly playing in Jiang Ruolan's mind.

After a while, she stopped in front of a hotel called The Emperor's Garden.

When she got out of the car, her wedding gown's hem was too heavy, so she bent over and tied it with a knot. She removed the car keys and walked straight to the hotel through a myriad of views, ignoring the hotel staff, and everyone's surprised gazes as she took the elevator to the floor mentioned by Qin Gengxin.

Since ancient times, the most helpless thing for a woman was to catch her husband with another woman. Once, she didn't understand why women were so pitiful. Years later, when she looked around on the top floor of the hotel, she finally understood.

It was only because Jiang Ruolan had fallen in love with Xian Zihao.

When Jiang Ruolan stopped at 705, she lightly knocked on the door. When the door was opened, she could only smile.

The one who opened the door was Xian Zihao. His initially tired expression turned pale, from calm to stiff, and his usually calm and handsome face, which showed no happiness or anger, changed rapidly.

"Ruolan." He looked at her in shock, his gaze falling onto the messy wedding dress, almost becoming mute.

Xian Zihao suddenly didn't want her to enter the room, so he just stood in front of her, still looking at her with that gentle gaze. However, from today onwards, all the yearning and fantasies, all the love, all the hugging, and mumbling, would no longer exist.

Jiang Ruolan finally woke up from the beautiful dream.

So no matter how beautiful the story is, it will still come to an end.

Jiang Ruolan didn't know when Qin Gengxin, Jiang Yijun, Xian Guiying, and the rest of Xian Family arrived. When they arrived, she was already standing in front of the room. Senior Zhou walked out from the next room and looked at them calmly.

Zhou Shufen was still as beautiful and bright as ever. She was slightly shocked by the situation in front of her. She looked at Jiang Ruolan in surprise and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ruolan looked at Zhou Shufen and calmly walked towards her. Without anyone expected, she suddenly raised her hand and immediately slapped her face. She raised her hands again and slapped her twice consecutively. In the end, the slap easily sent Zhou Shufen to the corner of the wall.

Zhou Shufen didn't cry. Instead, she looked at Jiang Ruolan with disbelief. It was as if she hadn't expected that the usually patient Jiang Ruolan would be scarier than any woman at the moment. 

Perhaps every woman would have no conscience when they were violated.

A blush appeared on Zhou Shufen's face as she sat in the corner, looking more miserably than Jiang Ruolan. 

Jiang Ruolan suddenly realized that no matter how beautiful a woman was, she would never be able to look good when she was in a miserable state. Zhou Shufen was the same.

Xian Zihao immediately went to hug Jiang Ruolan, but she turned so fiercely against him and slapped him hard in the face for the first time. Probably the ring on her finger had hit his cheek because a faint red line suddenly appeared on his face.

Everyone in the room was shocked because they never expected Jiang Ruolan, who was always calm would act like this. What these people didn't know was she had always been an extremely ungracious person. It would be better for all of them to share this little grievance than to leave it on her alone.

This way, it would be fair!

Qin Gengxin stepped forward and stopped her, "Jiang Ruolan, calm down!"

Jiang Ruolan pushed his hand away with a smile and continued to walk towards Zhou Shufen. Zhou Shufen saw that the situation in front of her was not good for her, so she didn't say anything. She only gave Xian Zihao a pleading look, wanting to hide behind him. Xian Zihao ignored her, only kept looking at Jiang Ruolan.

Jiang Ruolan blocked her path, calmly looking at her. "This is what you want, isn't it? Alright, I'll give him to you."

"Ruolan!"

Someone was calling her from behind. There were many voices calling her. She couldn't hear clearly who it was. It didn't matter if it was Xian Zihao or Qin Gengxin, or anyone else.

Jiang Ruolan took a step forward, but Senior Zhou suddenly went in front of Zhou Shufen, trying to protect her. The Xian Family was also trying to hold her (Jiang Ruolan) back. Jiang Ruolan did not struggle, only smiling mockingly.

She was already in too much of a sorry state. Even if she lost, at the very least, she should have kept a bottom line for herself.

"Mommy..." Little Fishie rushed out of the room and hugged Zhou Shufen. She held her tightly and watched her for a long time before turning to look at Jiang Ruolan. After a while, she suddenly rushed over and hugged Xian Zihao's leg, crying as she shouted, "Daddy!"
