My Little Sweet Wife

Chapter 209 - Jiang Ruolan Was His Wife, So It Was Only Right For Her To Take Care Of The Guest

From the beginning of Old Man Xianʼs birthday banquet, Jiang Ruolanʼs hand was tightly held by Xian Zihao. Due to the fact that she had been holding back her laughter, her entire face was dyed with a trace of bright and youthful energy, making her look extremely beautiful.

When she walked with Xian Zihao to the large dining table, the faint polite smiles of the elders sitting at the table matched well with Jiang Ruolanʼs tranquil smile.

Even when everyoneʼs gaze turned towards her, the corner of her lips still lifted slightly.

Since today was Old Man Xianʼs birthday, he did not seem to want to hold this celebration too seriously. He only invited his family members, and Jiang Family was considered a relative of Zhan An, while Senior Zhou and Zhou Shufenʼs statuses were completely different. Just by quietly sitting there, their auras were the most overbearing.

Old Man Xian, on the other hand, suddenly glanced at Jiang Ruolan. The coldness in his eyes gradually faded away. No one knew what he was thinking about.

However, the people sitting here were not ordinary people. They were all big figures in the business world, and in addition to the pleasantries, they were also a little more straightforward. Every time Senior Zhou looked at Xian Zihao, he couldnʼt help sighing with emotion.

Zhou Shufen suddenly put down her chopsticks, picked up a glass of wine, and said with a smile, ”I accidentally injured my hand today. If it wasnʼt for Miss Jiangʼs help, Iʼm afraid I would be lying in the hospital right now. Come, Miss Jiang, let me toast you.”

Jiang Ruolan froze for a moment. Instinctively, she picked up the glass of wine in front of her and looked at Zhou Shufen with a slight smile.

Just as she was about to raise her glass and drink, Xian Zihao rejected on her behalf. ”Ruolan doesnʼt drink wine. Miss Zhou was injured at the Xian household. Itʼs only right that she takes care of you.”

Zhou Shufen stared at the apathy on Xian Zihaoʼs face, and her hand gradually tightened around the wine glass.

This sentence was very clear to her. Xian Zihao was saying because Jiang Ruolan was his wife, so it was only right for her to take care of her (Zhou Shufen).

Zhou Shufen didnʼt say anything but something in her eyes seemed to be dying, as if something had gone beyond her expectations. Or perhaps, she had never seen through Xian Zihaoʼs thoughts.

Xian Zihao glanced at her and took the glass from Jiang Ruolan. ”Iʼll do it for her.”

Zhou Shufen paused and looked at both of them quietly. A trace of self-mockery flashed across her eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. She held the wine glass tightly and smiled. ”Zihao, I wonʼt stop you. Do as you wish.”

After saying that, she gulped down all the wine in one moment.

Xian Zihaoʼs gaze was slightly cold as he watched Zhou Shufen drink an entire glass without saying a word. He then finished Jiang Ruolanʼs wine, placed the glass in front of her, and then looked at Jiang Ruolan with a hint of meaning in his voice. ”You canʼt drink, so donʼt try to force yourself. The one whoʼs making things difficult is me, your husband.”

Jiang Ruolanʼs eyelids twitched. ʼWho told you I canʼt drink! Didnʼt you force me to drink at the Committee banquet before?! You were so crafty back then.ʼ

She silently cursed under her breath, but she still smiled cooperatively.

On the other side, Zhou Shufen pursed her lips in slight annoyance and put down her wine glass.

Xian Zihao passed some food to Jiang Ruolan.

Zhou Shufenʼs heart couldnʼt help but quiver slightly when she saw the warmth in his eyes and the way he took care of Jiang Ruolan.

ʼXian Zihao, what exactly is your heart made of?ʼ

After three rounds of drinking, Old Man Xian looked very happy. Jiang Bingqing and Cui Liuxian were like two children that were snuggling around him.

Xian Guiying only ate a few mouthfuls of food before suddenly returning to her room. Jiang Ruolan knew that Xian Guiying was pregnant and had a terrible nausea, and as she watched her leave, she was sighing in her heart. The symptoms of her vomiting were really severe.

But all of a sudden, she just happened to take a bite of the fish and somehow felt her stomach churning as well.

Jiang Ruolanʼs stomach churned uncomfortably. She quietly put down her chopsticks, not allowing anyone to notice her discomfort. She just stared at the fish in the bowl, feeling waves of nausea assaulting her.
