Hehe...God, she really can't live happily, did she?

Seven years ago, while Jiang Ruolan was in the Jiang Family, she almost died of cold, and no one helped her at that time, but she can still survive. She nearly starved to death with Jiang Yijun in the cold basement, and she even can survive it. But now…

Jiang Ruolan could hear the sound of her heart cracking, but she couldn't cry because that would ruin her delicate makeup. She shouldn't be sad, right? She should predict this outcome, right?

Xian Zihao and her never knew each other deeply, unlike him and Zhou Shufen. Love? Was there even love between her (Jiang Ruolan) and him? Thus, at this moment, Jiang Ruolan could only smile.

In fact, there was still a little hope in Jiang Ruolan's heart. She really hopes Xian Zihao can explain himself at this time. She hopes he can tell her that Little Fishie and Zhou Shufen have nothing to do with him.

However, Xian Zihao did not say anything. He just looked at Jiang Ruolan with a look that she did not understand at all. In an instant, he bent down, took the frightened Little Fishie and gently coaxed her.

God, why did it hurt so much?

Jiang Ruolan really wished all of this was just a dream, and when she woke up the next day, everything will be fine.

Jiang Ruolan wanted to call out Xian Zihao's name, but when she opened her mouth, she found that the voice was stuck in her throat.

Have you ever felt this kind of feeling?

Her life immediately turned into a 40-episode TV series, which she had watched before, and in the final episode, she realized that she was the evil supporting actress.

Jiang Ruolan took a deep breath and smiled as she ignored everyone's gazes. At that moment, it was as if all the burdens on her body had been lifted. Qin Gengxin and Jiang Yijun tried to help her, but Jiang Ruolan gently pushed them away and left the room.

***

Jiang Ruolan calmly walked out of the elevator. Suddenly a familiar and warm hand grabbed her arm tightly. Her arm was gripped with a force she had never felt before as if the owner of the hand was afraid she would disappear.

Jiang Ruolan looked up and saw Xian Zihao's anxious face.

"Jiang Ruolan." He was calling her name. "Listen to me first."

This was the first time she had seen the pleading expression in Xian Zihao's eyes. Her arm hurt so much. Jiang Ruolan looked down and saw that his knuckles were almost white.

Jiang Ruolan laughed softly, not letting her tears fall, but slowly, little by little, she pushed Xian Zihao's hand away. There was something in his hand because when she broke her arm away from his grip, a shallow cut appeared on the back of her hand.

Xian Zihao never dropped the thing in his hand. He clenched his fist as she drew her hand away.

Jiang Ruolan knew that on his palm was the wedding ring that she had never been able to put on for him. She took a step forward, showing her back to him.

"Xian Zihao." Jiang Ruolan smiled and walked step by step, away from him. She gently said, "Actually, I was wrong."

'I should never put any hope on you.'

Jiang Ruolan quickly left under his unreadable gaze.

She didn't even look back.

She didn't look to see if anyone was chasing her, or if she couldn't hear anyone calling her name anymore. Jiang Ruolan immediately got into her car and drove away. She looked in the rearview mirror and saw a woman's face with delicate makeup.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt a sense of desolation. She had said that she would be a hedgehog forever, but this hedgehog's heart had undergone so many life changes.

Once upon a time, she, Jiang Ruolan, was just a little girl that was too lazy to care for a man's care and love. She should just stay that way. If she were, her heart wouldn't be torn like this.

Jiang Ruolan went straight back to the Greenville Residence, and at an unimaginable speed, she quickly went to the study room and printed out two divorce agreements. She picked up a pen and signed her name, then quickly changed her clothes.

Jiang Ruolan didn't take much with her. She only took some of her original items and the savings card. Before she left, she looked at the light red mark on the back of her hand. She took off the ring on her ring finger and gently placed it on the divorce agreement.

At that moment, Jiang Ruolan suddenly realized that a fairy tale was just a story for a child to listen to.

The tale of how the Cinderella meeting with the prince was really a stupid story. Only an idiot would believe such a stupid romance.

As Jiang Ruolan put her luggage on the taxi's bonnet, she saw Xian Zihao's car stopped in front of the house. Jiang Ruolan ignored him and immediately got in the taxi. She ignored how he called her name.

Jiang Ruolan leaned her body against the seat and told the driver to go to the airport.

The driver drove slowly, slowly enough for Xian Zihao to catch up. For the first time, Jiang Ruolan saw an expression other than a faint smile on his soft face in the rearview mirror.

"Do you want to stop?" The driver, a man in his thirties, asked her.

Jiang Ruolan shook her head and said, "No, please drive to the airport and find a way to get rid of the car in the back. I will pay you three times the original price."

When the car finally sped away, the driver also handed her a packet of tissues.

Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered the day outside the club when she had been squatting on the side of the road and crying. Xian Zihao had stood in front of her and said, 'Sorry, Miss Jiang, I don't have the habit of bringing handkerchiefs and tissues with me.'

'Jiang Ruolan, you look like a hedgehog.'

'If you no longer have the strength to love in this life, then everyone is the same.'

'Since you didn't do it, why did you leave?'

"You don't have to leave. Even if you want to leave, I will accompany you. Jiang Ruolan, we are husband and wife, understand?'

"Jiang Ruolan is my wife. She is now, and will be, in the future.'

'Is my safety really that important?'

'You're so worried about me sleeping alone in the car, huh?'

'Jiang Ruoan, how old are you?'

'Keep your guard up and your thorns in front of them but not me.'

'When you're tired, you can put down those strong barriers. If you don't want to cry in front of others, you can cry in my arms.'

'Jiang Ruolan, we can try to love each other."

'Who told you that my feelings for you are nothing but responsibility?'

'What about you? If one day someone tried to break us apart, will you leave?'

'Be it a dream or reality, I will always be here. Don't be afraid.'

'I believe you!'

'It's okay, everything's over. Don't be afraid.'

'Jiang Ruolan, let's go home.'

'Zihao, you really are like a poisonous poppy.'

When Jiang Ruolan recalled back every moment they had, she realized that Xian Zihao never said he loved her.

So it had always been her fault.
