Chapter 117 - Shopping I

Jiang Ruolan looked at the impatience in Xian Zihao's eyes with a puzzled expression. She glared at him before she turned to look back at the two beggars. She tried to compare the situation between these beggars and those laborers.

If they were really at the end of the road, their own towns and cities would naturally give them their own protection. There was no need for those laborers to cause a riot at a place where they wouldn't live for too long. What is the difference between those laborers and these beggars?

Xian Zihao meant that, like her, he wasn't completely indifferent, but the society made them all afraid to abuse mercy because you can never guess whether it was right or wrong. If these migrant workers dare to make a scene in City H, when they are in another city, they will still do the same. If everyone did the same thing, there would be no difference between them and this beggar. They will continue to make a fuss and wait for the money to fall from the sky.

Jiang Ruolan said nothing for a moment. Xian Zihao bit his lip slightly and when he saw her hesitant face, he coldly laughed. "Do you understand now?"

Jiang Ruolan raised her head to look at him but kept quiet and followed him slowly. After a few steps, she hesitantly glanced at the elegant man beside her. "But we shouldn't have hurt them with the electric rod."

A hint of understanding appeared in Xian Zihao's calm eyes. "What are you trying to remind me of?"

Jiang Ruolan paused and looked at him in surprise.

Shouldn't he have known everything?

Did Secretary Du do all of this behind his back?

Jiang Ruolan knew her own ident.i.ty. After all, she was not someone who could be of much help, and there were many things that she could not interfere with.

However, Xian Zihao's words made her feel as if she had heard something wrong.

In other words, all of this was within Xian Zihao's expectations?

Since Jiang Ruolan knew that Xian Zihao had his own judgment and sense of decency, then she didn't have to worry about it. She decided to not speak any more nonsense and disturbed the good night.

Seeing that she was very obedient, Xian Zihao smiled contentedly.

It was an autumn night in the north, a busy street with only a few people walking around. The time now was around 10 pm.

Only a few large stores were still brightly lit. Jiang Ruolan looked around the street. "Where can we find a place to eat?"

"There is a 24-hour hot pot with Sichuan cuisine. Don't you like this kind of food?" Xian Zihao said.

As soon as Jiang Ruolan heard about the Sichuan dish hotpot, she was immediately amused. "So considerate? Thank you, my dear President Xian, for your concern."

"You are my temporary subordinates."

Xian Zihao uttered those words deliberately. Jiang Ruolan did not disagree with him, nor did she refute him.

Xian Zihao looked at the time. "These stores will close in about an hour. Buy some clothes first, then we go to eat. You will feel hungrier after spending your time here. By that time, you can eat more."

Jiang Ruolan immediately thought back to the hotpot they had eaten in H City last time. Although she had eaten a lot, there was still leftover on each plate. When she thought about it again, she suddenly felt regretful. She had wasted food just like that.

"Buy some clothes? I don't intend to buy clothes!" Jiang Ruolan quickly changed the topic.

"You're going to wear my jacket for tomorrow?"

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head to look at the jacket on her body. Anyone would know this was Xian Zihao's jacket. Although not many people knew about their relationship, even if everyone knew that she was wearing his clothes, it still didn't look too ambiguous.

Tomorrow was such a serious occasion, and if she didn't have a thick jacket with her, she would have felt cold. Jiang Ruolan took her bag and excitedly walked towards the mall. "Since you're the one paying the bill, then I'll choose two of the most expensive clothes."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped to look at Xian Zihao. "I will really go pick one, don't regret it!"

Xian Zihao walked with one hand in his pants pocket. He looked at her with a calm expression. "You only have one hour."

Jiang Ruolan immediately rushed into the department store.

Xian Zihao shook his head and chuckled softly when he saw Jiang Ruolan's fl.u.s.tered expression. On the night of their wedding, he had placed a bank card next to the key. He hadn't received a record that Jiang Ruolan used the card, but now she's acting like she was worried that Xian Zihao would regret his decision.

Women were truly strange animals.

The first floor of the department store was for makeup and jewelry, the second floor was for watches, accessories and leather. The fashion area was located on the third floor and above. Jiang Ruolan quickly walked to the elevator and went up to the third floor.

Upon reaching the third floor, Jiang Ruolan quickly found clothes to wear the next day.

Xian Zihao followed behind her the entire time. To outsiders, he seemed to be a husband patiently accompanying his wife went shopping. There was no trace of impatience on his face.

The entire shopping mall was already quiet because there was still an hour before the store would close. Furthermore, at this time, the only people left in the shopping mall were the sales clerk and the staff.

The two of them had become the focus of attention the moment they walked into the mall. As they walked past the ladies' area on the third floor, several female shop a.s.sistants stood in groups of twos and threes and whispered, "Hey, look, that man is so handsome!"

"Yes, it can't be that woman is his wife, right?"

"The man seemed too happy to go out shopping with his wife late at night?!"

"I don't think so. How many men are willing to go shopping with their wives now? Why was it so late? I think this woman is probably his mistress."

"I don't think that girl looks like one."

"Right now, everyone knows the face but not the heart. Who knows … But he's really handsome and has an aura about him. Looking at the suit he's wearing, is he a big shot from somewhere?"

"Aiyah, I heard that there's going to be a convention tomorrow for both the business and government realms. Maybe this man is one of them."

"Don't say anymore, the two of them are coming here."

While they were talking, Jiang Ruolan walked straight to the counter.

"Does this coat have an M size?" Jiang Ruolan took the black wool coat and looked at it.

"Yes, miss, please wait a moment. I'll go find it right away."

Jiang Ruolan nodded. She took off Xian Zihao's jacket and the bag in her hands. She wanted to put them aside, but she felt that it wasn't safe after some thought. Just as she was thinking, the bag and the jacket in her hands were grabbed by someone.

Jiang Ruolan grinned at Xian Zihao, not realizing that her eyes had taken on the look of a shy little woman, and followed the staff to the fitting room
