Chapter 413 – Some Things Can’t Be Hidden
Xian Zihao rarely talks to her seriously. Jiang Ruolan sighed. "Actually, I also feel something is wrong. Zihao, do you suspect that someone thought I was in a messy state, so they tried to set a trap for me?"
The corner of Xian Zihao's mouth curved as a faint smile appeared on his beautiful face. He grabbed Jiang Ruolan's hand, his eyes dark and clear. "Ruolan, at this moment, there will be someone who is always looking for trouble. You cannot play around and leave my side."
"Alright, then I'll call back later and ask. They'll help me keep an eye out, so I won't go over first." Jiang Ruolan nodded.
"No need to call again. Leave it to me. Give me a week to find the answer."
When Jiang Ruolan looked at him, she noticed that his eyes were filled with concern and gentleness. She was startled, knowing that her current affected state had worried him, so she smiled at him and asked, "Zihao, do I need to leave you more? I like to see you in a situation like this."
Xian Zihao's beautiful eyebrows raised slightly. "What do you think?"
"Enough, stop messing around. It's time for you to change your bandage. I'll go get a doctor."
Jiang Ruolan smiled and walked out of the ward. As soon as she stepped out the door, she saw Jiang Yijun standing outside. She was stunned for a moment and then closed the door gently. "You didn't go to work today?"
"I'm busy right now, I will leave after seeing you." Jiang Yijun handed her two lunch boxes. "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Jiang Ruolan smiled, "I don't eat as much as I used to. Brat, you're quite considerate. You know that it's inconvenient for your sister to go outside right now to buy things she loves to eat."
Jiang Yijun's lips curved slightly. He raised his hand and pushed the strand of hair on her forehead. "What happened? Why is there so much sweat on your forehead?"
"Is there?" Jiang Ruolan hurriedly wiped her forehead. Thinking back to the phone call she had received which shocked her until she sweated, she couldn't help but laugh. "I'm fine. Summer is coming soon and I'm wearing too much, so it's too hot."
"Don't only know how to take care of Xian Zihao every day, and ignore yourself. Being able to marry you is already a blessing he has accumulated for several lifetimes. Protecting you and his child is natural and right, don't feel like you owe him for this. You've lost a lot of weight these few days. Don't just think about what you want him to eat, and stop caring about your own body. Don't forget, while you're concerned about him, there are still a lot of people who are worried about you."
With that, Jiang Yijun pushed two boxes of food to her hand. "I still have work to do, so I will leave first. Remember to eat."
Jiang Ruolan nodded happily. "Go on."
Jiang Ruolan watched Jiang Yijun leave. She planned to take the box of food back to the ward first and ask the doctor to change Xian Zihao's bandage, but the moment she turned around, she stopped.
"Grandfather?" Jiang Ruolan was a little surprised. She looked down at her wristwatch and asked, "Why are you here early this morning? Why don't you rest a little longer?"
Old Man Xian didn't say anything. Instead, he walked over with his cane, step by step. He looked at the lunch boxes in Jiang Ruolan's hand.
Jiang Ruolan at first thought that there's nothing wrong with accepting food from Jiang Yijun, but the Old Man's gaze made her slightly uncomfortable. Thinking back to Cui Liuxian, she often said in front of the Old Man that the relationship between her (Jiang Ruolan) and Jiang Yijun was not modest. Even though the Old Man was affected at first, in the end, he still believed her.
However, she could not explain herself in advance. If she did, it would show that she was guilty.
Sometimes fake things come true when people say too much. Also, the brother-sister relationship between Jiang Yijun and her was still modest. His concern for her was also real. If the Old Man observes him a lot after being hit, then the wrong thing will probably become real in his heart.
"Spoiled girl, Yijun specially came to deliver your food?"
Jiang Ruolan smiled calmly, "Grandpa, Yijun knows what his sister always likes. He sees that I have no appetite, so he specifically bought me a lunch box."
"This kid always cares about you." Old Man Xian looked at her seriously, "On that day when Zihao was still in the emergency room, you fainted because your blood pressure rose so fast. At that moment, Yijun rushed towards you and hugged you carefully as if you were his most valuable treasure in the world."
"Ruolan, you and Yijun have been together for over twenty years. Grandpa can understand how much love you both have in this relationship, but you have to have a boundary line. You have to take care of your steps and change the relationship between the two of you from siblings to completely unrelated people. Grandpa hopes you can be more rational and never head in the wrong direction."
Although the Old Man's words were gentle, they were full of warnings. Jiang Ruolan laughed, "Grandpa, you know that Cui Liuxian is always against me. Since Yijun came back to Xian Family, she has been trying to find problems with Yijun and me. I always thought that you saw the situation very clearly and didn't get affected by her words, but I was wrong. Maybe I didn't do well enough."
Hearing her say that, Old Man Xian's expression softened a lot. "Grandpa is so old, so of course he wouldn't be affected by that girl. It's just that, spoiled girl, since you know grandpa has seen everything, you should have told me about it earlier. I can see the feelings Yijun has for you."
Jiang Ruolan's expression froze. "Grandpa …"
"Well, everyone has an obsession. After going through time, the feelings will fade slowly. Spoiled girl, Yijun is my grandson, but so is Zihao. I know him very well. He knows propriety and also knows how to restrain his feelings. After all, he's been living under me for a long time. Even so, some things can't be hidden. Grandpa never wants to expose this because you have a sense of reason. I know you and Zihao are truly in love."
"But, child… You must persevere. You can't change your mind and feelings just because Yijun shows a little bit of concern for you!"
Old Man Xian looked at her seriously. "Grandpa doesn't want you to feel unhappy and stuck in the middle, but I hope you can understand my worries."
Jiang Ruolan sighed deeply and nodded with a smile. "Grandpa, I understand."
The Old Man smiled. "I know I could count on you. Are you going to call a doctor to change Zihao's bandage? Leave it to me. I also wanted to walk around the hospital and stretch my legs. You can go inside and eat with Zihao first."
Jiang Ruolan was about to reject the offer but seeing Old Man Xian's expression, she smiled shyly, and nodded before returned to the ward with the lunch boxes.
As she entered the ward, Xian Zihao glanced behind her and asked, "Aren't you going to call a doctor?"
"Grandpa went to call him. He said he wanted to walk around so he could stretch his legs."
Jiang Ruolan walked over and placed the lunch boxes on the table next to the bed. She opened the boxes and found that it was her favorite dish, white rice, and some small dishes.
"Who sent it?" With one glance, Xian Zihao could tell that Jiang Ruolan didn't buy this food. If she could buy this kind of good food near the hospital, she would have already bought it.
