Chapter 220 - Did You Know, When You Are Lying, You Didn't Even Blink Your Eyes

"Did you cry today?" Xian Zihao frowned.

Was it that obvious?

Jiang Ruolan paused, lowering her head to look at the cup in her hand. "Hiss...So hot!"

Hearing that, Xian Zihao quickly took the cup from her hand and turned back to his office. Jiang Ruolan raised her hand to scratch her eyebrows, and after a moment of hesitation, she followed him.

Only then did she notice the footage on the wall to the right of the office. She looked at him and asked, "What is this?"

"The company intends to record H City tourism promotion videos. We are taking some samples for screening." Xian Zihao put down the cup on the table.

"H City tourism? What? Are you planning to use Xian Group to promote the H City tourism development project?" Jiang Ruolan asked with a smile.

Xian Zihao didn't answer her question but instead asked, "You've always disliked crying in front of others. Why are you crying today?"

Jiang Ruolan was a little apprehensive. She turned around to look at his expression and then couldn't help but laugh. "Aren't you moved?"

Xian Zihao raised his handsome eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with her answer. Jiang Ruolan walked over to him and said, "Really, you can tell that I cried even though I had light makeup on my face. Actually, I had a little quarrel with someone in the company today. I couldn't stand with her anymore, so I squeezed out two drops of Tears Drop to let our chief editor make the decision for me. This is called a trick!"

Jiang Ruolan spoke proudly, but Xian Zihao didn't seem to pay attention to her explanation. Instead, he quietly gazed at the corner of her eyes that had been covered by a thin layer of powder. He raised his hand and caressed the corner of her eye gently.

It was obvious that Xian Zihao didn't believe Jiang Ruolan at all, but he still remained silent, as if he believed everything she said.

Jiang Ruolan chuckled as she tugged on his suit jacket coquettishly, tracing his chest with her fingers, and changed the subject, "Hubby, I made tea for you, don't you want to try it? It will be cold in a moment ~"

"Jiang Ruolan, you really make me want to get angry at you." Xian Zihao lowered his hand and glanced at the red line on her neck.

Jiang Ruolan raised her hand and felt her neck along with his gaze. When her fingers touched that piece of skin, she felt a faint slight pain.

This may have been a wound from Wei Donghai's nails when he tried to rip her s.h.i.+rt collar.

Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips and rubbed the skin. Although she felt pain, she did not make a sound because she didn't want Xian Zihao to be angry with her.

"How did it happen?" Xian Zihao asked flatly.

"Maybe my colleague accidentally scratched my neck with her fingernails when I was pulling her …" Jiang Ruolan looked up.

Xian Zihao's eyes glinted as he looked at her coldly. "Did you know, when you are lying, you didn't even blink your eyes?"

Jiang Ruolan was frightened. Her heart was pounding, and a big part of her heart suddenly felt empty.

Just what in the world … How much did he know...

Seeing her silence, Xian Zihao's eyes immediately became colder. He pressed a few numbers on the phone and commanded, "Bring me a wound medicine."

Not even two minutes later, a staff member knocked on the door and came in with a medicinal ointment. He then left without saying a word.

"You went to the Ling Group this morning?" Xian Zihao said flatly as he opened the lid of the top section of the ointment and lightly rubbed the slightly cold ointment on the red mark on her neck.

Seeing that she couldn't hide it any longer, Jiang Ruolan had no choice but to give a "Hmm".

Her eyes looked a little embarra.s.sed.

Xian Zihao glanced at the apologetic look in her eyes and sighed slightly. He twisted the ointment's lid and casually placed it on the side. "Didn't I tell you not to alert the enemy?"

Hearing his reprimanded tone, Jiang Ruolan let out a sigh of relief, "I didn't mean to alert them. Ling Group warned our company and asked us to do public relations for them. Obviously, the goal is not pure. I just want to use my ident.i.ty as the Business Reporting Department's editor-in-chief to chat with him. "

"Oh?" Xian Zihao crossed his arms over his chest and lazily leaned against the desk. He glanced at Jiang Ruolan with a shallow smile. "What's the result of your discussion?"

Jiang Ruolan shook her head embarra.s.sedly. Before Xian Zihao could scold her, she wrapped her arms around his neck and nestled into his arms. She leaned her head against his chest, closed her eyes, and said nothing.

Right now, she didn't want to recall anything. She also didn't want to say anything. All she wanted was to quietly lean against him.

Xian Zihao was slightly stunned by her cat-like actions. After being stiff for two seconds, he finally gently hugged her back. He stroked her hair. "Ruolan, this is the office."

"Mm, I know …" Jiang Ruolan put her face against his chest and spoke in a m.u.f.fled voice.

Xian Zihao's voice was somewhat hoa.r.s.e as he asked, "Are you sure you know?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Jiang Ruolan raised her eyes and felt his arm tighten around her. At the same time, he reached back to close the blinds in the office.

Xian Zihao locked the door behind her, blocking the light, causing the office to turn dark.

Jiang Ruolan was startled. Could it be that Xian Zihao was thinking that she was seducing him?!

But he didn't make any other move. He kissed her on the face, letting her hands wrap around his waist without letting go. He just quietly hugged her like this.

Jiang Ruolan lifted her face and listened to the thump of his strong heart. She breathed in the unique scent of his body and felt herself enveloped in a steady, extremely secure warmth.

"Do you like it?" Xian Zihao whispered in her ear.

Jiang Ruolan looked at him in surprise. Could it be that he could easily see that she liked to hug him? However, she still answered honestly, "I like it."

Xian Zihao tightened his hug again and gently said, "If you like it, hug me a little longer."

It was already afternoon and it was rare for Jiang Ruolan to not care about her work. Because of such a warm embrace, she decided not to go to the office and instead stay here to hug him.
