Chapter 284 – The Long-Awaited Explanation II

Jiang Ruolan could not believe her ears. She immediately turned around and glared at him. A few strands of her hair hanging down from her coiled up hair. When the wind blew past, it brushed against his handsome face, and his gentle gaze made her unable to speak.

Xian Zihao laughed. "You forget? On the day we first met, I said that I was also human."

On the other side, Xie Mei also almost scored a goal, but the ball just happened to circle around the hole and didn't get in. Xie Mei was so angry that she stomped her feet on the ground and yelled disappointedly, which disturbed Jiang Ruolan's current thoughts. She lowered her eyes and saw that Xian Zihao's hand was gently stroking her belly.

She had a good memory and did not want to live in such a gentle, fake cage. No matter how powerful or wealthy Xian Zihao was, he would not be able to give her what she wanted. That wedding had shattered everything she had. Dignity, peace, reason, grace, and the eternal landscape he had painted in her life.

At that time, Xian Zihao was like a prince in a dream. His smile, his gentleness, his love, and care made Jiang Ruolan extremely yearning for him. But during this month, every time she tried to grab onto him in her dreams, she could not do so.

And now, Xian Zihao was still like the most elegant gentleman. A perfect and impeccable prince. He gave her the same kind of warmth, perhaps even more so than before.

If she went back to that Jiang Ruolan, she would probably believe in his words. However, the current Jiang Ruolan did not have the courage to keep trying.

At that time, the sun was setting and the cicadas were singing. A thorn that had been buried deep in her heart had been picked out just like that, bleeding profusely.

Seven months ago in H City, beside the deep blue swimming pool, was the man casually wearing a white bathrobe. His tone was chatty and polite, "Miss Jiang, I am also a human."

"Ruolan, if I want to hurt you, I don't have to wait until the wedding day." Xian Zihao finally let go of her.

Jiang Ruolan didn't say anything but just looked at his leaving figure.

"Here."

A bottle of mineral water was passed to her. Jiang Ruolan came back to her senses and looked up to see Wan Shoushan. She took the bottle and took a sip.

"What are you thinking about? Sitting here alone in a daze for such a long time." he asked as he sat down.

Jiang Ruolan looked at the sky. After they had played golf just an hour ago, they were left behind by the old man from Aerial Club, who told them to eat dinner here before leaving. None of the leaders brought along any female companions, and Jiang Ruolan and Xie Mei were the only ones here. Wan Shoushan was a shrewd businessman who knew how to seize the opportunity to expand his network.

At this moment, Jiang Ruolan finally understood why he brought Xie Mei along with him. It was because Xie Mei was the kind of lively, moving, and very beautiful, and talkative girl.

It seemed like today's golf, or dinner was all part of Wan Shoushan's shrewd business plan.

He wanted to get on good terms with a few leaders, but Xie Mei had unknowingly become a public relations partner in his hands.

Of course, since they were invited by Xian Zihao, no one dared to do anything to them.

"It's nothing." Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and took another sip of water.

"Just now …" Wan Shoushan wanted to say something, but he hesitated. He looked at her, "President Xian was really careful in teaching you. He didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Jiang Ruolan was stunned, but she quickly understood that Wan Shoushan had been looking at them from the angle they were in on the field. From his angle, he could see Xian Zihao's intimate actions when he was teaching her how to play.

Did Wan Shoushan think that she was taken advantage of by Xian Zihao? So he was here to comfort her?

Before she could say anything, Wan Shoushan said, "I assume he attends a lot of social activities, and it's only because you are attractive enough and everyone likes to be closer with beautiful women. That's why President Xian would personally teach you to play golf. Don't think too much."

Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt like laughing.

Look, this was life. Even if some people can get out of the mud without getting dirty, they will still be in the mud. It was clear that in Wan Shoushan's eyes, she, Jiang Ruolan, had only been taking advantage of and nothing more.

Jiang Ruolan held back her laughter. "Brother Wan, I didn't think too much. It should be said that you were thinking too much. President Xian is only teaching me how to play and he may be looking a little too close from your side."

Seeing that her expression was natural, Wan Shoushan nodded in relief. "That's good then."

Not long after, the old man brought over some more fruits. Jiang Ruolan already knew that this old man was the father of the boss behind Aerial Club and that he was once a farmer.

There were some orchards and vegetable farms that were specially isolated for the old man to take care of in this place. He even invited many people to grow them together with him, and when the old man came to invite them to stay for dinner, he had said that he would take her to take a look at the orchards when he had time.

"Miss Jiang, I've made you wait for a long time. Just now, the kitchen was preparing the ingredients. I went to get someone to distribute the vegetables for tonight. I've been busy until now. Come, I'll take you to the orchard to have a look."

Jiang Ruolan was bored from sitting, so she naturally jumped up and went to the orchard with the old man. Xie Mei was not interested in any of this and only followed Wan Shoushan to check the other facilities in the Aerial Club.

They had to ride a car to go to the Aerial Club's orchard and farm. Jiang Ruolan followed the old man who called Uncle Huang out of the car, and under his introduction, she randomly looked around.

Uncle Huang asked her if she wanted to visit the emerald green area, and when she arrived at that place, she could actually see animals like cows, sheep, chickens, and ducks on the other side.

It was currently 6 in the evening. The sun was setting in the west, and the sky gradually became darker.

"Living here every day, I will definitely be very comfortable and happy." Jiang Ruolan said as she gazed at the emerald green area in front of her.

In fact, many times, even the most beautiful scenery in the city could not compare to this natural lakeside scenery or a lush green vegetable garden.

"You're right. My whole family, including my son, are usually very busy. Every month, he will spare two days to help me with my farm work. This kind of job will be good for my health." Uncle Huang plucked another pear from a nearby tree and gave it to her.

Jiang Ruolan took it and smiled as she thanked him. She casually wiped her hands a few times before eating.

"Little girl, why don't you wash the fruit first before you eat? There's water over there."

"No need, it's better to eat it like this. I'm not afraid of getting sick. Since it's rare for me to come to this kind of place, I shouldn't be so tender." Jiang Ruolan chuckled as she ate the pear. As she walked, she saw the cornfields in front of her. If she were to enter, she would probably be lost in them in the blink of an eye.

Uncle Huang laughed. "I once knew a little girl. You look very similar to her. When I saw you this afternoon, I thought you were her. However, after a closer look, I realized that your age was different."

Jiang Ruolan had originally only been casually listening, but when she heard Uncle Huang say that that person was very similar to her, she couldn't help but stop walking. She turned her head to look at him.

"Looking at the age of that girl, she should be in her forties now. You look like you're only in your twenties. If you were her daughter, I would still believe you." Uncle Huang smiled again. "But to be honest, the child she carried back then should be twenty-five now. I wonder how that girl's life is."

Uncle Huang walked ahead, sighing as he walked. "Oh, it's been more than twenty years."

Jiang Ruolan looked at the old man and thought of her mother. She did indeed have some similarities with her mother, but they were not very obvious, unless someone knew her mother well and had known her for a long time. Only then would they realize that they looked alike.

She couldn't help but follow him. "Uncle Huang, can I ask you more about that girl you mentioned?"
