My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 196 - Isnʼt Your Surname Is Xian Too

”Where did all this nonsense come from? Hurry up and get in the car.” Xian Zihao glanced at her as if he was impatient, but there was a small smile in his eyes.

Xian Guiying pursed her lips and said mockingly, ”It must be because my sister-in-law wanted to pick me up, otherwise, you wouldnʼt have come!”

After receiving Xian Zihaoʼs mischievous glance, Xian Guiying smiled and got into the car.

As soon as Xian Guiying sat in the car, Jiang Ruolan looked at her in the rearview mirror. She glanced at her loose sportswear and remembered what happened two months ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She took advantage of the time Xian Zihao got in the car to look at Xian Guiyingʼs stomach in the rearview mirror. Because of her loose clothes, she couldnʼt see anything, but …

Did Xian Guiying want to keep everyone in the dark just like that?

Xian Zihao returned to the car, and after a while, the car was driven out of the airport like an arrow that had left a bow.

”Brother, why did you suddenly send Brother Fang to Boston and tell him to take over the companyʼs affairs? Do you not trust my ability?” Xian Guiying put her bag on the side and lazily leaned against the back seat.

It was only now that Jiang Ruolan realized that Xian Guiying would get rid of her cold and arrogant attitude when she was with Xian Zihao. She had no sense of pride at all.

Xian Zihao looked at the road ahead with indifference. ”Other than Qin Gengxin, heʼs the only one who can make me feel at ease. If I donʼt let him take over, you will definitely not go home.”

”Isnʼt the old man just celebrating his birthdays?” Xian Guiying tilted her head and snickered. ”How many years has it been since the last time I came back? If it werenʼt for me wanting to meet my new sister-in-law two months ago, I wouldnʼt even have bothered to take a step into the Xian Residence! If that old man really cared whether Iʼd come back or not, why wait till now? Why are you the one who had to tell me to come back? Those people already have a happy life even without me there.”

”Those people?” Xian Zihaoʼs voice was cold. ”Isnʼt your surname is Xian too?”

Xian Guiying snorted coldly, ”So what if my surname is Xian? It wasnʼt as good as Cui! Anyway, if it werenʼt for you and sister-in-law, I wouldnʼt bother to come back this time.”

Jiang Ruolan was just quietly listening to the conversation between the two siblings. She did not want to interrupt, but seeing Xian Zihaoʼs unhappy face, she had to open her mouth and tried to alleviate their fights. ”Guiying ~”

Jiang Ruolan looked back and smiled at Xian Guiying. ”Weʼll go back to Xian Residence tomorrow. Do you want to stay with us tonight?”

”No, I donʼt want to bother both of you.” Xian Guiying replied half-jokingly, but she also seemed to be used to treating herself as someone who was not taken seriously. Her eyes were calm and her voice was clear and cold. ”Iʼll stay at the hotel.”

”You donʼt want to try my cooking?” Jiang Ruolan tried to persuade her. ”Even your brother has a new level of respect for my culinary skills. Wouldnʼt you like to try it too?”

Xian Guiying forced a smile on her face, but she did not waver, ”No need, I will stay at the hotel.”

For a moment, Jiang Ruolan sensed that Xian Guiying had seen through her intentions and understood her good intentions. However, she purposefully rejected this kind of intention. It was as it made her feel she was being pitied and comforted.

That was why she rejected the offer so straightforwardly.

Noticing Xian Zihaoʼs gaze on her, Jiang Ruolan turned around and saw him looking back at her. The look in his eyes was telling her that this trick wouldnʼt work on Xian Guiying. He was telling her not to waste her breath.

”Sister-in-law, donʼt you see how calm my brother is?” Xian Guiying suddenly changed the topic with a smile. ”He canʼt do anything to me now because heʼs too lazy to bother with me. When I was young, I was the only one who could make his hair stand on end.”

”Are you for real? Xian Zihao had a temper too?” Jiang Ruolan looked at Xian Zihao in disbelief, while the latterʼs face darkened by half.
