Jiang Ruolan opened her eyes wide, "How can I not be confident? It's President Xian, who's the one overthinking it! I am such a pure and innocent young lady, how can I let my thoughts go wild! It's just a short message. She just said that she would see you tomorrow. That doesn't mean anything, so why do I waste my time thinking about it?"
Xian Zihao's eyes were calm. When Jiang Ruolan showed an expression full of confidence, he didn't laugh but instead looked at her silently. His warm fingers caressed her slightly cold face.
Jiang Ruolan was unwilling to display the slightest bit of weakness and thus immediately turned her head away.
Xian Zihao chuckled silently and kissed her between her eyebrows and gradually moved to her lips. With a slightly hoarse voice, he said, "Jiang Ruolan, you must have confidence in me."
Jiang Ruolan looked at him with her bright eyes, her hands unconsciously grabbing onto the blanket under her. She thought back carefully, sometimes, indifference and avoidance didn't mean he had forgotten about his past relationship and what Xian Zihao needed right now was time.
Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips, "Seeing that you gave me a card that I can swipe without any worries, I can forgive you this time." Anyway, the text was received by him and not sent by him.
When every woman gradually started to care about a man, no matter how rational or open-minded she was, she would always become insecure.
Seeing her impolite expression, Xian Zihao tightly held onto her waist and while his other hand stroked her inner leg, "I have treated you very well, shouldn't you put in a bit more effort to repay me?"
Jiang Ruolan immediately grabbed his hand. "Stop it!"
Xian Zihao's breathing became heavier. "Why should I stop?"
"Guiying is still in the bedroom."
"She can't hear us."
"But …"
"No buts."
"..."
****
The next morning, as it was Old Man Xian's birthday party and she was going to Xian Residence in the afternoon, Jiang Ruolan had to go to the company to send a draft text that had been completed two days ago to Xiong Ruogang.
Since Xian Guiying said that she would go with her, they both decided to take a taxi to the company. Once arrived, Jiang Ruolan immediately handed the script to Xiong Ruogang and left. Right when she walked out of the company revolving door, she saw Qin Gengxin.
Jiang Ruolan originally wanted to lower her head and go around him, but Qin Gengxin immediately stopped in front of her and blocked her paths. He coldly stared at her.
Jiang Ruolan's feet stiffened. Before she could say anything, she heard Qin Gengxin's voice, which sounded as if it was filled with astonishment, "Why are you here?"
She saw his eyes on Xian Guiying. Qin Gengxin's usually sloppy face had turned serious and he was looking at Xian Guiying calmly.
Xian Guiying smiled at him frankly, "Only you are allowed to return, and I'm not? You should know that today is Old Man's birthday."
Qin Gengxin finally understood and looked at Jiang Ruolan before looking back at Xian Guiying.
Originally, he had wanted to ask Xian Guiying how she had come to Fengyu Media, but when he thought about Jiang Ruolan's current relationship with the Xian Family, he didn't ask any further. He frowned and looked up and down at Xian Guiying's unusually loose clothes, "Why are you wearing such loose clothes? I can't see your sexy waist anymore. How many men will never be able to enjoy the bliss in front of their eyes from now on?"
There was a hint of mockery in his tone, but it was very appropriate. He wasn't treating Xian Guiying as he did on Jiang Ruolan.
"Isn't President Qin always interested in tight-fitting girls? Since when has my little waist been so attractive to you?" Xian Guiying teased him, and her gaze never left him.
Once Xian Guiying told his 'history' in America, Qin Gengxin couldn't help but rubbed his nose and glanced at Jiang Ruolan who was laughing at the side. He looked at her with disdain.
He then sneered, "I had eaten that kind of hot chick too much. It's time for me to change my appetite."
"You seem to have a balanced diet!" Jiang Ruolan smiled with a face full of joy over his misfortune. Qin Gengxin was depressed after being exposed. The small act he had maintained was instantly exposed by Xian Guiying in a few sentences.
Qin Gengxin cast a cold glance at Jiang Ruolan. "You wish you could take the opportunity to push me to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, don't you? I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"Why are you looking for me? How did I offend you, President Qin?" Jiang Ruolan retreated two steps back and kept her distance. On the contrary, she pushed Xian Guiying in front of her, making her stand between the two of them.
The overbearing aura of "forcefully snatching other man's wife" from Qin Gengxin's body was too strong. It's better to have such a cold and elegant beauty like Xian Guiying to hold him back!
Xian Guiying was startled by her gentle nudge.
Qin Gengxin's eyes turned cold the instant Xian Guiyin was pushed over. He looked over Xian Guiying's shoulder at Jiang Ruolan and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
Jiang Ruolan stared at him. "I don't understand. How can you be so calm when facing a beauty like Guiying?"
"You ..." Qin Gengxin held back his anger. As his eyes stopped at Xian Guiying and when he saw her unnatural expression, he immediately frowned.
Qin Gengxin's slightly cold eyes eased up a little, but it was filled with displeasure, and he snorted coldly, "Guiying is Zihao's sister, so automatically she became my sister. No matter how strong this grandpa's taste is, it's not to the point where I'm going hook up with my sister."
For some reason, Jiang Ruolan felt that Qin Gengxin was saying these words deliberately, not to herself, but to Xian Guiying.
Xian Guiying, who had been pushed forward, did not resist and immediately laughed nonchalantly, "Sister-in-law, stop messing around. Even if all the men in this world are dead, I would never like Qin Gengxin. A man who only thinks with his lower part, with no sense of taste, no sense of cultivation, and no brain! Absolutely not!"
Qin Gengxin's face immediately darkened. He glared at Xian Guiying.
Xian Guiying raised her delicate eyebrows with a face full of pride.
Jiang Ruolan looked at both of them and suddenly she felt as if a thunderbolt had struck her. She had forgotten where she had heard of them before. She had heard that every time Qin Gengxin and Xian Guiying held a joint conference, there were always various kinds of situations that arose as soon as they met.
Every time the two of them meet, there was always a dispute that cannot be resolved in the long run, and from the years onwards, the two of them basically never appeared on the same occasion again.
And from what had happened just now, it seemed like it.
The anger in Qin Gengxin's eyes gradually died down. He took a glance at Xian Guiying, who for some reason had turned away with a bit of frost in her eyes, and frowned slightly.
Qin Gengxin did not refute Xian Guiying's words, but instead gave her a deeper look, "This is for the best."
Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Guiying, who had her back on her. She couldn't see her expression. Just as she was thinking about what kind of state the two of them were in, suddenly she saw Qin Gengxin looked at his watch with a grave expression.
