My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 76 - Be Careful I

"Tch! You know how to raise a cat? Who will believe it?" Qin Gengxin abruptly gave up the idea of taking a look around. He looked at the wristwatch in his hand. "Are you busy this afternoon? How about you accompany me for a drink?"

"I'm going to the Bureau this afternoon to take care of some things." Xian Zihao calmly moved his legs to make the kitten sleep more comfortably.

"Of course you are very busy. Since I just arrived here two days ago, then I'm just going to take a look around." Qin Gengxin raised his hand to straighten his collar and turned to leave.

Jiang Ruolan was sleeping soundly. She refused to get up as her whole face was pressed against a warm spot. She smacked her lips in her sleep and smiled in satisfaction.

Xian Zihao lowered his gaze and glanced at her sleeping posture, which was very different from last night. It's kind of funny.

****

There were some faint sounds in her ears. Jiang Ruolan opened her eyes and realized that she was sleeping in Xian Zihao's office.

She quickly got up and realized that she was once again sleeping on a large sofa.

She looked at the man who was engrossed with his works on the other side of the desk.

"You're awake?" Xian Zihao's voice sounded faint.

Jiang Ruolan stared blankly at him for a moment, only to see that he did not look at her.

"Ugh … I didn't think I'd fall asleep. Sorry, if I caused you any trouble."

Xian Zihao let go of the mouse and sank back into the seat behind him. He turned his head to look at her and said unenthusiastically, "There's no trouble. It's just your drool."

Jiang Ruolan's face tightened as she quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Her eyes filled with surprise. Would she drool in her sleep?!

Xian Zihao looked at her nervous movements with a straight face.

"That …" Jiang Ruolan couldn't believe that she would drool in her sleep. This was the first time she had slept like this. Thinking that it might be due to her abnormal sleeping attitude, she felt very embarrassed.

She giggled and ran to his table. She lowered her head to look at his pants, "Sorry, I did not stain your pants, right?"

Seeing that she had taken the bait easily, Xian Zihao continued to maintain his poker face. Jiang Ruolan could only look at him. As their gaze met, a playful smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

Jiang Ruolan then glared at him. "Are you messing with me?"

Xian Zihao raised his eyebrows and spread his hands. "Who would have thought that you would be so easily deceived."

"I …" Jiang Ruolan's mouth twitched. "I just woke up. When I woke up, my brain wasn't in perfect condition. I didn't even have time to think about it!"

He just smiled, looked at the time on his wrist, and asked in a deep voice, "It's almost 6 o'clock, what do you want to eat?"

"It's 6 o'clock?" Jiang Ruolan looked at the time in shock and cried out, "Heavens! Have I slept for that long?! If I continue slacking off, the chief editor will fire me one day!"

"Does he dare?" Xian Zihao sneered and stood up. He took his coat jacket from the coat stand and placed it in the crook of his arm.

"Mom normally doesn't eat much. To avoid her whimsical cooking, let's eat outside."

"You wanted to treat me?" Jiang Ruolan looked up at the man who was a head taller than her.

"Otherwise? You want to treat me? I'd be more than happy to do that." Xian Zihao sidled around the table while laughing, took the electronic key, and headed outside.

"Sigh! How can you be like this! I just said it casually. How could a journalist like me deserve to treat a man like you, President Xian." Jiang Ruolan followed in his steady footsteps. The two walked out of the office together, as most of Xian Group's office staff had already finished their work.

She jogged up and followed closely behind him. She did not want the atmosphere around her to be silent and awkward, so she asked, "Why did you suddenly inviting me to dinner? This is the first time you invite me, right?"

Xian Zihao did not answer and had already entered the private elevator, which required a password. Only then did Jiang Ruolan realize that the two of them had reached the private elevator at the end of the corridor.

She couldn't help but look at it in astonishment.

When the elevator door was about to close, the door slowly reopened. Xian Zihao glanced at her doubtfully. "Why are you still standing there?"

"This is a special elevator for the CEO." Jiang Ruolan looked at the small but beautiful words on the wall thoughtfully.

His refined eyebrows creased slightly. "Jiang Ruolan, you did it on purpose, right?"

"Hmm? Do I?" She blinked and smiled innocently.

Xian Zihao pursed his lips and said nothing. He gave her a bland look before slowly closing the elevator.

Surprised, she looked at the numbers in front of her with astonishment.

"F*ck!" With a low curse, she turned around and ran towards another elevator and rushed inside.

As she hurried to the first floor, she saw Xian Zihao walking out of the brightly lit glass door. She took large strides to catch up to him and secretly glared at his back in dissatisfaction.

Was Xian Zihao waiting for her?

The elevator had stopped for so long; it was obvious that he was waiting for her.

She was not stupid!

Jiang Ruolan just wanted to take revenge for his teasing earlier but her plan didn't work at all.

She stared at Xian Zihao's back while cursing him quietly.

She followed him to the parking lot. Then Xian Zihao stopped and cast her a glance that was neither cold nor warm...

Jiang Ruolan's resentful stare was replaced with a warm smile. Xian Zihao snorted and pressed the electronic key.

A "di di di" sound was coming from the car.

Although she didn't want to go to the restaurant with him but right now, H city was at its peak. It was tough for her to get a taxi at this time. Since there were free rides and meals, she better used this opportunity. Save time and save money.

Xian Zihao sighed as he quietly glanced at the satisfied expression on her face as she sat in the car.

"What do you want to eat?" he asked lightly as the car was driven out of the parking lot of Xian's Group.

"Anything is fine, as long it's your treat."

"There has to be a taste."

"Then let's eat spicy food."

"Sichuan Cuisine? Hunan Cuisine?

"Sichuan food is quite good, especially the snacks. Let me think ..."

Xian Zihao stopped asking and drove in silence.

His long boned fingers easily gripping the steering wheel. His movements looked sleek and calm.

Jiang Ruolan withdrew her gaze and felt that the atmosphere inside the car was a bit stuffy. When they were both together, there was no topic for them to discuss. She couldn't just be a chatterbox.

The atmosphere inside the car was really uncomfortable. She looked down and saw that there was a CD holder next to the VOD. She hesitated, not sure if she should casually move the thing in his car.

Jiang Ruolan carefully picked up the disc. Xian Zihao seemed to have seen it, but he didn't make a move to stop her.

She took the disc and flipped it over. She placed a pleasant-looking disc without the name of the song on the DVD and whispered, "Can I listen to the song?"

"Do whatever you want."

Jiang Ruolan smiled and pressed two buttons on the DVD.

'I thought I'd cry, but I didn't

I was just staring at your footsteps

My last blessings to you

Isn't this a kind of comprehension?!

Let me see myself clearly

Though the pain of no love

Day and night, in the deepest recesses of my soul

I thought I'd get my revenge, but I didn't

When I saw the woman I loved

She was actually as helpless as a child

Isn't this a kind of comprehension?!

Let you see yourself clearly

Being loved is a luxury of happiness

It's a pity you never cared

Ah! That was the end of a relationship

Ah! My heart was on the verge of desolation

If our love be wrong

May you and I not suffer for nothing

If you have given in your heart, you should be satisfied

Ah! What a painful realization, you were all of me.

It's just that I look back at every step of the way

They are all so lonely

Ah! What a painful realization, you were all of me.

I just want you to break free from the shackles of love

The bondage of love, the wanton pursuit

Stop suffering for love.'

This was a piece of Li Zongsheng's "Comprehension". It had been popular many years ago, and it still sounded full of charm today. However, after listening to it, it actually started circulating again.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned. Was this the only song left in it?

She turned her head to look at Xian Zihao, only to see his thin lips were pursed into a straight white line, expressionlessly staring straight ahead.

He didn't seem to like this song. His slanted brows were gradually wrinkled.

'Ah! How painful is your comprehension?

You were my everything..'

The song resonated in the car, then suddenly stopped. She watched in astonishment as Xian Zihao, with one hand on the steering wheel, quickly opened the DVD with his other hand and took out the disc.

He casually tossed the disc out of the window.
