Chapter 423 – Cui Luixian’s Ending I
Xian Zihao just smiled and let go of her hair before kissing her cheek gently, "Are you tired today? Normally, grandpa wouldn't invite many guests, but for some reason, this time, he invited too many guests until the servants at home didn't have enough hands. You are moving too much today, helping mom and servants serve the food."
Jiang Ruolan shook her head and chuckled slightly. "I'm fine. A lot of walking is good for my body. It's just that my legs are a little sore."
Xian Zihao's eyebrows lifted slightly and he immediately tried to lift his wife's foot for a massage. Seeing that, Jiang Ruolan quickly pushed him away with a smile. "Aiya, what are you doing! Don't look anymore! I was just joking! How can I be so spoiled? I had only taken a few steps! Zihao, you almost made me look like a lazy pig. You can't keep continuing spoiling me. This won't do!"
"You are my wife, that's why I pampered you." Xian Zihao stroked her hair lovingly while kissing her cheek again.
"Don't worry, mom and grandpa are both watching over me. Just now, mom was afraid that I would be too tired, so she asked me to rest. You see, the whole family was busy accompanying guests; meanwhile, I was alone in my room and then took a bath, how cozy ~" Jiang Ruolan smiled happily before she pecked him on the lips. "Don't you still want to go down? Hurry up, I'll go down too."
As she spoke, Jiang Ruolan moved away from Xian Zihao's arms and watched him drink water. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Didn't you say that just now Yijun drank too? How is he? Did he throw up? I think I will go see him first."
"He hasn't vomited yet. His alcohol tolerance is good enough. Even though he's so drunk that he can't stand up straight, he can still recognize his direction." Xian Zihao smiled. "His room is filled with the smell of alcohol. It's okay if you want to take a look, but don't take too long."
After that, Xian Zihao went downstairs again. When her hair was dry, Jiang Ruolan quickly tied it into a bun. Then, she went to Jiang Yijun's room.
At first Jiang Yijun's room was on the third floor, but somehow he moved to the second floor, and as Jiang Ruolan walked to his room, due to the dim light in the corridor, she suddenly saw Cui Liuxian. She stopped in her tracks and hesitantly looked at Cui Liuxian's sly appearance.
Cui Liuxian walked towards her with a small box in her hand that looked a bit familiar to Jiang Ruolan. When Cui Liuxian saw Jiang Ruolan standing there, she immediately shot her an arrogant look, then snorted and left as if no one was around.
So weird.
Jiang Ruolan hesitated for a moment. Thinking about how Cui Liuxian had been silent for the past few months, she suddenly felt something wrong.
Did Cui Liuxian plan something bad again?
It can't be, right?
There was no need for her to think about Cui Liuxian anymore, right now she was concerned about Jiang Yijun, so she walked straight to his room.
Since the door was not locked, Jiang Ruolan immediately opened the door and peeked inside. Inside the room, there were only bedside lights that looked dim. Jiang Yijun was sleeping on the bed, but his clothes were still on, only his shoes were taken off, and he was covered with a blanket.
When Jiang Ruolan reached the bedside, she suddenly felt a gust of wind coming from the balcony. The window was opened and from there, she could see that the balcony on the third floor to the balcony of this room, the railing surrounding the semicircle had been removed for repair. Standing here was rather dangerous.
Jiang Ruolan quickly closed the window on the balcony. Suddenly, she heard a sound coming from behind her. She turned around and saw Jiang Yijun rolling around in discomfort.
Her mouth twitched as she quickly walked over. "Seriously, he's already so old. Why is he still acting like a child, kicking the blankets while sleeping?!"
Jiang Ruolan covered his body with a blanket again while mumbling out of habit. However, she suddenly smelled the fragrant scent coming from this room, so she quickly looked around the room to find the source of the smell.
Jiang Ruolan did not realize that Jiang Yijun had opened his eyes at this time.
Why was there such a strong fragrance in Jiang Yijun's room?
Could it be that the servant who had helped him didn't like the strong smell of alcohol in this room and deliberately lit incense?
However, wasn't this smell too strong? A moment ago, when the wind blew from the balcony, the fragrance was already drifting past her nose. Otherwise, she won't actually notice it.
"Why are you here?" Suddenly, Jiang Yijun's slightly hoarse voice was heard.
Jiang Ruolan looked at him and smiled gently,
"What? Have you forgotten that you can't drink too much? I know you're going to regret it the moment you wake up, that's why I'm here."
Jiang Yijun frowned and struggled to sit up. He pressed a hand to his forehead and shook his head. "I drank too much. Those old guys are more ruthless when it comes to drinking."
"Nonsense, how old are you? You've been drinking alcohol for decades, and if you can't bear it, can't you pretend to be drunk after a few glasses of wine? You really gave grandfather some face by competing with those old men." Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but laugh. Seeing that he was about to get up, she hurriedly went to help him. "What's wrong? Do you want to throw up? I'll help you to the bathroom."
Jiang Yijun shook his head and waved his hand. "I'm fine. You can go back and rest. You've been busy the whole day."
"You're already so drunk. Besides, I already told Zihao before I came here. Don't worry, he will not misunderstand. I will help you there." Jiang Ruolan smiled. No matter how fierce her words were, she still could not bear to see him drunk like this.
Jiang Yijun stood up and swayed a little. Jiang Ruolan immediately supported him. "I'll get you something to quell the pain in your stomach later."
Jiang Yijun looked at her intensely. If Jiang Ruolan hadn't specifically told Xian Zihao that she would come here, she definitely wouldn't have stayed in his room for so long. But seeing Jiang Yijun's eyes right now….
Jiang Ruolan raised her eyebrows. "What are you looking at? Hurry up and go puke. After puking, come back and sit down."
After saying that, she pushed Jiang Yijun into the bathroom and left the room to find Nanny Cheng to get some hangover medicine and ginger tea.
Nanny Cheng was busy in the kitchen, and seeing that Jiang Ruolan was looking for a drink, she immediately asked, "Are you trying to find something for Young Master Yijun?"
"Yeah, he drank a lot today. Every time he drank too much, he would feel uncomfortable, so I had to prepare him a hangover medicine and ginger tea. Otherwise, his stomach would definitely ache when he gets up tomorrow. If that happened, how can he still go to work?"
"Nanny Cheng, where did you put the ginger tea? I want to make it for him."
