novelYoure Really Hiding Something From Me, Arent You
| ← Ch.432 | Ch.434 → |
A few servants from the Xian Family were waiting outside the room. When they heard the Old Man finally speak, they finally felt relieved. Xian Zihao initially considered Old Man Xian's mood and did not express his opinion, only intending to speak after the crowd left. Now that the Old Man had opened his mouth, he immediately signaled for the people outside to come in and pulled Cui Liuxian out.
"Grandfather! Grandfather!" Cui Liuxian screamed in despair, clutching at the door frame crazily."No, I won't leave! Let me go! Grandpa!"
Old Man Xian frowned and waved his hand several times. The people outside understood what was going on and immediately dragged Cui Liuxian away without mercy.
Watching Cui Liuxian being taken away, Zhan An shook her head."Truly sinful."
Old Man Xian, however, said nothing. It was clear that the child he had raised for over twenty-two years had hurt his heart. Humans were created with a heart and intellect that knows how to distinguish what was right or wrong. Old Man Xian didn't know how the child he had raised turned cruel. In the end, it was Cui Liuxian who asked for it, and the Old Man couldn't be bothered to care about her anymore.
"Dad, Cui Liuxian, that brat, has woken you up. Go back and rest. Look, Ruolan is fine. She even came to see you. You should be relieved, right?" Xian Jian said from the side of the bed.
The Old Man opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ruolan again. He seemed to have received a lot of satisfaction by having her as his granddaughter-in-law and grabbed her hand reluctantly."Child, the Xian Family has let you down. Grandpa shouldn't have treated you unfairly from the beginning."
It wasn't that Jiang Ruolan didn't understand anything from the Old Man's words. She remembered a scene where Old Man Xian suddenly forced Cui Liuxian to stop talking when she threw the photos away.
She remembered what Cui Liuxian said about the Xian Family and their enemies.
However, she did not have the luxury of time to think about this situation when she felt a warm feeling on her shoulder.
Xian Zihao came over to help her, and she let go of Old Man Xian's hand, but at the same time, her heart felt heavy. She turned her head hesitantly to look at Xian Zihao, who was full of concern for her and hesitated for a moment.
When they returned to the ward, even though Jiang Ruolan was worried about whether the Old Man would be able to survive after receiving such a severe injury at a young age, there were also too many questions in her heart.
She had kept everything to herself for so long. It wasn't that she wasn't alert.
Could it be that Jia Zhenzhen had gone crazy and her mother killed herself later on? Was this really not a coincidence?
Or, was this not only related to the Jiang Family but the Xian Family also involved?
It was as if everyone had a serious expression when they mentioned this incident, and Senior Zhou seemed to know everything about that year. Senior Zhou hadn't shown up recently, and the only person who can tell her all about what had happened that year was Jia Zhenzhen.
Xian Zihao went out to get medicine and came back. Seeing Jiang Ruolan sitting on the bed in a daze, he walked over and put the medicine on the bedside table. As he helped her lie down on the bed, he asked casually, "What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao's gentle eyes that were full of concern for herself. She paused, then hesitantly opened her mouth and said, "Zihao, why do I always feel like you're hiding something from me?"
As Jiang Ruolan said this, she kept staring at Xian Zihao's expression.
At the same time, Xian Zihao's hand that was pulling the blanket over her body also stopped a little, and he looked at her with an equally clear yet doubtful gaze.
Jiang Ruolan continued to stare at him, not even blinking, as if she wanted to see the heart of this man who treated her better and better. ? To see all that was hidden beneath his bland surface.
"Is it because of Cui Liuxian's words?" Xian Zihao's voice was slightly tired, but he still smiled at her. He leaned against the bed, leaning down to kiss her eyebrows, he hugged her tightly.
His embrace was warm and comfortable, and when he stuck close to her, Jiang Ruolan's heart, which had originally been somewhat unstable, calmed down. She only raised her eyes to look at him, "Cui Liuxian really does have the ability to catch up with people's shadows and gossip. I feel that some of what she said yesterday wasn't some kind of nonsense."
Jiang Ruolan hugged Xian Zihao's neck as she spoke, leaned close to his face, and whispered, "Why would you want to tie up a woman who has a grudge with the Xian Family by your side? Grandfather had hit his cane on the ground loudly to stop her from talking, but Zihao, I remember the situation clearly, and I saw your eyes at the time."
"You're really hiding something from me, aren't you?" Jiang Ruolan's voice was very soft, she didn't press him, nor did she criticize him."Didn't both of us promise that we would never hide anything from each other? Even if it's a white lie, we can share it all. This is what you said. Zihao, please don't let me think too much about this, okay"
Xian Zihao lay by the bed, holding her in his arms silently. He did not answer her question, nor did he try to defend himself. Jiang Ruolan only raised her eyes and asked patiently, not hiding her anxiety.
Jiang Ruolan was a woman, and all women were sensitive. She knew that he was hiding something from her, but he didn't want to say it.
Since Jiang Ruolan had already expected the outcome, she didn't get angry because he didn't want to explain at the moment. She just stayed in his embrace and rested her head on his arm. She kept her eyes open, looking at his handsome face and his thoughtful expression.
It wasn't until Jiang Ruolan had gotten to the point where she was tired and decided to sleep, did Xian Zihao call out her name.
"Ruolan."
"Hmm?" Jiang Ruolan raised her hazy head and looked at him again.
Xian Zihao's slender fingers caressed her face. Then, he pinched her face as if he was trying to tease her. Jiang Ruolan subconsciously tried to avoid it, but at the same time, she became more energetic. She looked back at him and saw that his eyes were filled with worry. A worry that he could not hide.
But what was he worried about?
Jiang Ruolan curled up towards him and sniffed his scent. She smiled and asked, "I'm about to fall asleep. Why did you call me?"
Xian Zihao chuckled as he brushed her hair."It's nothing. Go back to sleep."
Jiang Ruolan could clearly see Xian Zihao's eyes filled with heartache and an apology that could not be hidden towards her, and every sensitive woman would clearly understand what was going on.
Cui Liuxian's words were true.
Jiang Ruolan didn't say anything. She suddenly hugged his waist and burying her face in his neck. In a soft voice, she said, "Zihao, I heard Xiaoyi is seriously ill. Aren't you going to see her?"
Xian Zihao's kiss fell on her hair."I'll visit her later, but right now, nothing is more important as you."
Jiang Ruolan smiled and went deeper into his embrace."The most important thing is our babies."
"Yes, you and our babies." He gently caressed her head."If you're tired, go to sleep. If you have something to ask, you can ask me after you wake up. Be good."
That's right, right now, she should sleep. If she had any questions, she would definitely know the answer at the time.
Jiang Ruolan smiled, closing her eyes and wrapping herself around him like an octopus.
Xian Zihao looked at her for a long time. Suddenly, he gently kissed her lips and whispered, "Wife, I will accompany you and watch our children slowly grow up. Don't leave me, okay?"
Finally, his kiss landed on her forehead.
