Chapter 456 – We Will Always Be Like Siblings, Nothing More Than That
Jia Zhenzhen was stunned. Jiang Yijun looked at her before he shifted his gaze back to Jiang Ruolan, "Really? That must be because you've never heard of it. "
"You brat!" Jiang Ruolan hit his head with her chopsticks and said, "This is obviously your fault. Why don't you call her mom in front of me? It's great to have a mother around. You really don't know how lucky you are."
"Lan, Yijun is not used to it. He will change his mind slowly. Let's eat first." Jia Zhenzhen said with a smile.
Jiang Ruolan nodded and glanced at Jiang Yijun again. His mouth twitched from her judging gaze.
"You haven't returned to Xian Resident recently, and they haven't come looking for you?" After a while, Jia Zhenzhen suddenly asked Jiang Yijun.
At first, Jiang Yijun was silent. He took a sip of mushroom soup and said lightly, "It's normal for me not to come home. Since the Old Man knew that I had a house outside, he didn't dare to restrict my movements."
Hearing them mention the Xian Family, Jiang Ruolan only continued eating her food silently.
"You're afraid that Ruolan will mind your status in the Xian Family and intentionally cut off your relationship with them so that she won't reject you, right?" Jia Zhenzhen smiled.
Jiang Yijun suddenly choked, "Cough, cough!"
Jiang Ruolan hurriedly handed him a glass of water. When Jiang Yijun took it, she quickly withdrew her hand. Seeing Jia Zhenzhen looking at them with a smile, her heart immediately stopped beating. She quietly frowned.
"I'm done eating. You guys took your time. My company just called. There's something I need to do. I'll go first." Jiang Yijun said while wiping his mouth with a napkin. Then, he stood up and left.
"Aish, this child."
Jia Zhenzhen turned around to look at him, but Jiang Ruolan didn't stop Jiang Yijun from leaving. She just looked at Jia Zhenzhen quietly.
After Jiang Yijun left, Jia Zhenzhen turned around with a sigh. Jiang Ruolan was still looking at her.
"Auntie Jia, are you really planning to go to G City?" She asked.
Jia Zhenzhen glanced at her. "Lan?"
"I knew that you and my mother were good sisters when you were young, and now I am divorced and Yijun is often together with us, you wanted to match both of us. Auntie Jia, let's not talk that I am a year older than him, let's talk about the relationship between us. We will always be like siblings, nothing more than that." Jiang Ruolan put down her chopsticks and spoke seriously.
"Since you don't consider it appropriate, I won't force you guys to do anything. I'm old now, and I had never thought of freedom in my life before. Now that I have left that damn place, I am satisfied with your company and Yijun."
Seeing that she wasn't stubborn in this regard, Jiang Ruolan felt reassured and lowered her head to continue eating.
And in her heart, there seemed to be a big hole.
Xian Zihao had indeed left H City and his whereabouts were not something an ordinary person could find out. They were once husband and wife and now, they had become a stranger. He did not need her to wait, nor did he need her to look for him.
Once he left, they seemed to have separated completely. Jiang Ruolan didn't investigate where Xian Zihao had gone.
What would it be like if someone who constantly appeared in your life suddenly disappeared? Never appeared in front of you and never to be heard from again?
In Jiang Ruolan's case, the feeling was almost indescribable, and Xian Zihao did what she asked.
At night, the atmosphere at Greenville Residence was so quiet that it was almost deserted. Jiang Ruolan turned off her phone and quietly sat in front of the window, watching the night outside.
Didn't she say that until the end, she would never know how fragile love was?
Well, she had made her own choice.
At that moment, she had no other choice. Even if their relationship ends, it's still a good ending, wasn't it?
***
Two days later, when Jiang Ruolan was at home, she suddenly felt that her stomach hurt badly. Jiang Yijun hurriedly took her to the hospital, and as she lay on the bed, she was unaware that her wedding ring was still on her ring finger.
Jiang Ruolan closed her eyes, and when the doctor pushed her into the delivery room, she took the ring off from her finger and held it tightly in her hand.
When the doctor examined her body, he looked a little worried, "Miss Jiang, your uterus was very unstable before. I don't know if the doctor reminded you before, that you might bleed during childbirth. Not to add, you are pregnant with twins, it's very dangerous for you to insist on having these babies. We don't dare take responsibility if something happened, so you better sign this form first."
Jiang Ruolan smiled. Maybe all stories, even in the end, need a complete closure.
She really wanted to see Xian Zihao at the moment, even if only for a glimpse, even if she died on the operating table, she would not regret it. She didn't regret the divorce, but at the moment, she really missed the smell of his body.
The reason why she insisted on giving birth to these children was for him.
"I know. Please check the blood bank to see if there is enough A-type blood. No matter what, I have to give birth to these two children safely." She said with a smile.
The doctor had no choice but to contact the blood bank at the hospital immediately. Jiang Ruolan slowly closed her eyes.
"How much has the palace opened?"
"Four centimeters."
"Quick, listen to the fetal heartbeat, do fetal heart monitoring!"
Jiang Ruolan knew that she could not faint at this time. She must maintain her consciousness and strength before she can give birth to her children. She held the ring tightly in her hand.
Jiang Ruolan could not remember what happened after that. She only heard from the doctor that she had to adjust her state of mind and not be nervous. She just followed the doctor's instructions.
After an unknown period of time, she could clearly feel her child sliding down her stomach bit by bit. Although it was very slow and very painful, but the joy of being a mother filled her heart as the tears slowly slid down her face. It was as if she could see Xian Zihao's face from a certain angle.
It was impossible to estimate how much time had passed, but her body was already hurting to the point of completely losing consciousness. She could only mechanically and instinctively follow the doctor's instructions and then she could hear some faint noises. She didn't understand what they had said, her thought only focusing on her children.
The instant she heard the child's cry, her entire body seemed to swell to the extreme along with her heart.
Jiang Ruolan no longer had any strength left, and her consciousness slowly faded. She tried hard to open her eyes and hear what the doctor said, "She is weak and at her last strength. Hurry up!"
