Chapter 290 - This Rain Is Very Meaningful To Me

Jiang Ruolan did not know what to say, so she had to make excuses and pretend her ankle hurt. Xian Zihao helped her sit up against the headboard and put an ice bag at her feet. "Lie like this and don't move."

As he spoke, Xian Zihao moved the ice bag a little to look at the swelling on her ankle. He seemed to be checking if the swelling had subsided a bit or not.

Xian Zihao gently caressed her ankle. Although Jiang Ruolan still felt some pain, she restrained herself and did not pull her foot away.

"Did you have a sprain before you found me?" he asked suddenly.

If Jiang Ruolan had her sprain after she found him, her ankle wouldn't have been swollen like this, unless she had been sprain for a long time and had been limping around in the potholes.

"I wasn't injured for long. It was just that I accidentally stepped on a rock." Jiang Ruolan pretended to be in pain and quickly pushed his hand away, covering the swelling with her hand and not letting him see.

However, Xian Zihao pushed her hand away and helped her apply the ice bag while lightly holding her ankle. He gently turned her ankle, causing her to suddenly cry out in pain as she hurriedly tried to retract her foot.

"Since you're injured like this, you don't have to follow Wan Shoushan to go back to the company tomorrow. You have to take care of your feet first." Xian Zihao held her leg and did not let her escape. He did not touch her again but looked at her as he spoke faintly.

Jiang Ruolan immediately protested. "No, I just returned to this company in less than a month and I still need a salary! If I miss working tomorrow, won't my salary of three thousand yuan be gone just like ashes?"

"Is money more important, or is your foot more important? Your ankle was so swollen that you can't even get up wearing your shoes. So tell me, how are you going to work with this kind of condition?" His eyes were gentle, but his tone was extremely serious.

Jiang Ruolan frowned and whispered, "Money is more important."

Xian Zihao was taken aback for a moment. With a frown, he asked, "Since when did you start to talk back?" As he spoke, he immediately got up and lifted her by the waist.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Ruolan was shocked and could barely hold the ice bag. She looked at Xian Zihao in surprise.

"Take you to the shower."

Jiang Ruolan did not resist but only looked up at his care eyes as he brought her to the bathroom. Xian Zihao was carrying her like she was the most precious treasure in the world, and the love in his eyes could not be faked.

Perhaps there may be some things she can accept the explanation, but it doesn't mean she can get over with it. Maybe Xian Zihao was scared if he told her a full explanation, it would push her away from him, or at least he tried to give her some time to think clearly about everything.

As he carried her into the bathroom, Jiang Ruolan unconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck.

His white casual clothes from the afternoon at the golf course had just been soaked by the rain, and now he had changed into a light gray, soft, comfortable sweater. His hair dried up very quickly. He didn't even need to do any styling. It was already very soft and shapely.

When Xian Zihao held her, he was so gentle and careful, as if he was afraid that Jiang Ruolan and their child would fall if he were not careful. Since Jiang Ruolan took the initiative to put her arms around his neck, a slight smile that could almost destroy people's hearts appeared on his handsome face.

Xian Zihao leaned over and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Ruolan, this rain is very meaningful to me."

If it hadn't been for the rain, he didn't know how long this little hedgehog would have been at odds with him.

"You make me sound like I'm the kind of woman who does anything to have a relations.h.i.+p with you." Jiang Ruolan muttered unhappily.

Xian Zihao was amused by her reaction. "Even if you do something, it's still within reason. I know you can't bear to part with me."

"Do you have to be so confident?" Jiang Ruolan glared at him.

Xian Zihao's footstep paused for a moment before he placed her in the hot tub. He lowered his head to look at her discontented expression and then smiled. "Did I say something wrong?"

With that, he lowered the water temperature to a moderate level.

Jiang Ruolan didn't say anything. She carefully placed her feet on the edge of the bathtub and said with a blus.h.i.+ng face, "You go out first, I'll wash myself."

She could feel the fading flame in his eyes light up again. Jiang Ruolan quickly pulled the towel to cover her body. She was naked and her stomach was bulging a little, making her look like she had gained a lot of weight.

Xian Zihao only smiled, took the towel, and placed it within her reach.

"Wash well and call me when you're done. You can't walk on your own right now. If you randomly try to force yourself, you should know the consequences."

Jiang Ruolan nodded her head as she stroked her belly. "I know. I'll call you when I'm done."

Xian Zihao left the bathroom with a relieved expression.

The heat in the quiet bathroom increased. Jiang Ruolan raised her head and leaned against the bathtub's edge weakly.

Jiang Ruolan initially thought that their love was not like the love that should be present in every married couple. She thought that their feelings were none other than responsibility, a duty, but when she left him, she discovered that she really loved him.

And in this rain, in that awning, his uncaring kisses and explanations, his love and patience, when he came to her in the rain and took her, who had nearly fallen, and carried her across the long, uneven farm. She knew that his feelings for her were love and that this love was, perhaps, deeper than she imagined.

After soaking in hot water for a long time, Jiang Ruolan tried to stand up on her feet slowly. She forgot Xian Zihao's warning and didn't realize how long it had been since she had stood on her feet like this. Just as she was about to walk out, she heard someone knocking on the door.

Jiang Ruolan was stunned, thinking that it wouldn't be good for her to be caught out like this, so she quietly went back to the hot tub and continued to soak in hot water.

"I'm sorry to bother you, President Xian, but may I ask if Ruolan is with you?"

It was Wan Shoushan's voice.

Jiang Ruolan froze.

Why would Wan Shoushan come here?
