My Little Sweet Wife

The next day, Jiang Ruolan went to a nearby clinic to buy some traditional Chinese medicine to reduce her pregnancy discomfort. There was no Sister Yanmei to help her here. She must learn to take care of herself and the child in her own womb on her own.

Before Jiang Ruolan left the clinic, she happened to meet her former alumnus at the university, Yi Meixiu, who also worked at the same clinic as her.

"Ah, is that you, Ruolan?" When Yi Meixiu saw her, she was so shocked until she couldn't even close her mouth. The moment Jiang Ruolan smile at her, she slapped her on the shoulder, "Sh*t, where did you go? I've been looking for you for months! I heard from our other friends that you went to H City. When did you come back? Are you alright? What are you doing at the clinic? Don't answer. Let's have lunch first."

Yi Meixiu invited Jiang Ruolan to lunch together at a small restaurant near their university. She ordered two bowls of rice flour and slyly said that it's been a while since she ate this food. Once the waiter served their food, Yi Meixiu immediately asked, "Tell me everything."

Jiang Ruolan placed her chopsticks in the bowl before she looked at Yi Meixiu. "I married one of the CEOs of a well-known company."

Yi Meixiu scoffed, "Stop joking. Did you lose your mind after the two of us didn't see each other for a year and a half? You were full of nonsense."

Jiang Ruolan continued, "You know, when you have a good man by your side, a lot of women want to be pests of your relationship. Originally, I felt that it was unrealistic and I tried to stay away from getting involved with him, but he was too good. Slowly he tore down the defensive wall in my heart and made me fall in love with him."

Yi Meixiu looked at her with wide eyes.

Jiang Ruolan chuckled. "After I fell in love with him, a woman suddenly tried to ruin my relationship by saying that this man was hers. What's more tragic is that she also had a daughter. From the looks of it, this man seemed to be hers. When something happens, he is always by her side. It's like that woman needs him more than I do."

"F*ck, what are you trying to say? Are you telling me a fairy tale? I know you are a journalist, but to make a story like this...Jiang Ruolan, are you well?"

Jiang Ruolan took a glass of juice and sipped it, then she put the glass back on the table.

"It's a shame that I still want to cling to that man, even though I know he doesn't belong to me. I love everything about him. His handsomeness, his tenderness, his love, everything. You know, it's always hard to let go of things you like."

Yi Meixiu was confused. She stretched out her hand and touched Jiang Ruolan's forehead. "Let's go to the clinic later and ask them to give you an injection. Tsk tsk. You are delirious."

Seeing Jiang Ruolan's expression, Yi Meixiu felt helpless and put down her chopsticks. She looked at her patiently, "Fine, continue telling the story. I'll listen. We will eat after you finish. What happened then?"

"In the end, I owned the man but only for a certain period. It turned out he was really not mine."

Yi Meixiu slammed the table, "You... Don't dilly-dally, just tell me the outcome!"

Jiang Ruolan laughed and mocked herself, "I am still not reconciled to this. Later on, we will have a wedding. At first, I felt that my dream finally came true, that I would be able to be happy with him, that he had become completely mine. But then I suddenly realized that this was just a dream. I never once entered his world."

Yi Meixiu almost vomited blood, "Jiang Ruolan, stop pausing for every second! Tell me the outcomes already!"

"Then I beat that woman."

"Are you serious?!" Yi Meixiu threw her chopsticks. "It's not good to steal other woman's man and you still have the nerve to beat her up? Jiang Ruolan, when the f*ck did you start behaving like this?"

"Then I beat the man too."

Yi Meixiu: "…"

"And then I gave the stinking man back to her."

Yi Meixiu: "…"

When the story was finished, Jing Ruolan looked at Yi Meixiu silently.

Yi Meixiu's face suddenly calmed down. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have communicated with a crazy person like you. Jiang Ruolan, before your consciousness recovers, you are not allowed to say that you were my roommate when you went out! I never know you!"

"Even if you want to write a novel, no one will want to read it! What a lousy story! What are you trying to do? Are you purposely trying to increase this grandma's blood pressure?!" she shouted.

Yi Meixiu finished the whole bowl of rice flour in anger while Jiang Ruolan was lying on the table, laughing by herself.

***

At night, Yi Meixiu invited her to watch some literary films to wash her brain. But in the end, they decided to spend their time in a video game store near the cinema. Yi Meixiu happily dragged Jiang Ruolan inside.

"Hehe, it's been over a year since I last entered the video game store. Come and play with me ~"

Jiang Ruolan followed her silently, and they stopped in front of the electronic game machine. Jiang Ruolan didn't know how to play it, luckily Yi Meixiu taught her.

The final result was that Jiang Ruolan, who was a novice, had scored twice as high as Yi Meixiu. Yi Meixiu was flabbergasted when she saw this.

Since she was a child, Jiang Ruolan was never as childish as other children. She was never able to spend time playing in the game center. Her life was only filled with ways to survive. 

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Yi Meixiu had to go home early because she had to get up early in the morning to work tomorrow. Before she left, she asked for Jiang Ruolan's phone number.

Jiang Ruolan wanted to give it tomorrow since she was going to change to a new number. Yi Meixiu asked her to write down her old number first and call her tomorrow night to give a new number.

When Jiang Ruolan took out her phone, she remembered that her phone had been turned off since yesterday. After a moment of hesitation, she turned on the phone, but she paused when she heard the SMS ringtone. She did not see any of them, just closed the message and took Yi Meixiu's number.

After Jiang Ruolan finished showering, she went to the kitchen to heat a glass of milk worth one yuan per sachet. While holding the glass, she walked to the bedside and looked at her phone on the bed.

Jiang Ruolan picked up the phone and looked through it. Her mailbox was already filled with new messages.

Qin Gengxin: 'Jiang Ruolan, I was hoping this wedding would be interrupted, but it happened so suddenly that even I had no idea what to do. This time I wanted to speak up for Zihao. If he didn't love you, he would let you go from the beginning. No need to wait until now.'

Qin Gengxin: 'His car was parked at the airport all day. He watched your plane take off, did not chase you, and never moved from his car. Jiang Ruolan, we are all adults, it is not easy to find the right person to spend the rest of the life by your side. Can you calm down and talk to him first?'

Qin Gengxin: 'I didn't know the reason until the day before the wedding. He had no choice. If it were me, I would do the same. I swear by my last name that he never meant to hurt you! Two days ago, he was thrilled and looking forward to your wedding, but Ruolan, there are things I can not say. I know you are sad but can you answer the phone first? Please don't make me worry.'

Xian Guiying: 'Sister-in-law, what happened to your phone? Why can't I contact you? I know you are not the type of person who will disappear when something happens! Hurry up and answer the phone! After you left, mom went berserk. Mom was never angry, and in front of Senior Zhou, she scolded Zhou Shufen!'

Xian Guiying: 'Sister-in-law, you should definitely see how much my brother loves and cares about you! I did not expect your wedding ceremony to be like this, but my brother … I don't know how to say it, but I want you to talk to him. I'm not speaking on his behalf, but I've never seen my brother look like that. Where the hell have you been? Please come back!'

Jiang Yijun: 'Answer the d**n phone!'

Xiong Ruogang: 'Sis Jiang, please answer my call! Why is your cell phone always dead and unreachable! Sis Jiang, President Xian is a good person, can you forgive him?'

Xiong Ruogang: 'At most, you can only slap him a few times when you return. After you left, President Xian didn't pay any attention to that homewrecker. He went after you. I heard from President Qin that he found him at the airport. He said that you left, but President Xian's expression at the time ... I ... I don't know how to explain to you ... Sis Jiang, where are you?'

Jiang Ruolan did not finish reading the text message. She put down her phone gently, held the glass of milk in her hand, and silently looked out the window. What else could she do besides ignoring it?

Her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Ruolan looked down and saw the caller ID, Xian Zihao.
