Qin Gengxin frowned. He only froze for a moment before turning around and quickly chased after her.

Jiang Ruolan followed the crowd and rushed to the door. "Guiying!"

However, just as she rushed to the door and reached the staircase, Xian Guiying had already run down the stairs. Qin Gengxin suddenly stopped and grabbed Jiang Ruolan's hand before she could follow after Xian Guiying

Jiang Ruolan was shocked and looked at him blankly.

Xian Zihao who was following behind quickly frowned. "Gengxin? What are you doing?"

They were after all in Xian Residence. Old Man Xian didn't know that Jiang Ruolan and Qin Gengxin were childhood sweethearts. The Old Man had just fallen in love with Jiang Ruolan, so any bad things that would affect this relationship could not have happened at all.

"Qin Gengxin." Jiang Ruolan looked at him with a stiff expression. Qin Gengxin's eyes were already faintly bloodshot and filled with countless emotions. He firmly held her hand, and coldly looked at her.

"You already knew, didn't you?"

Qin Gengxin asked in a cold voice. His cold eyes stared straight at her.

Jiang Ruolan was dumbfounded. She merely raised her head and looked at the hate that was seemingly dense within his eyes. She opened her mouth but was unable to say a word. "I …"

"As expected." Qin Gengxin sneered and harshly shook off her hand.

He turned around and ran down the stairs.

When he flung her off, he exerted a tremendous amount of strength, as if he was filled with resentment that could not be expressed anywhere. Jiang Ruolan's body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground.

For a split-second, Jiang Ruolan suddenly realized that she didn't know what to do. She couldn't help but turn around to look at Xian Zihao. "Zihao."

Xian Zihao gently patted her hand as though he was comforting her. With half an arm around her shoulders, he gently embraced her, giving her courage and comfort.

Xian Zihao really knew Jiang Ruolan very well, and he also understood her regret for hiding this secret from Qin Gengxin. Even though their relationship was unilateral and she didn't owe Qin Gengxin anything, her heart still filled with guilt.

"What exactly is going on? Zihao, Qin Gengxin and Guiying had always been in Boston, so when would they get together?"

The Old Man walked out. At the same time, his gaze landed on Jiang Ruolan. "Qin Gengxin just pointed at you, what does he mean by that?"

When the Old Man looked at Jiang Ruolan seriously, Xian Zihao held her tightly in his arms, "The Qin Family is in the same city as the Jiang Family. Ruolan and Qin Gengxin have known each other since they were young, and just like me, they are pretty close friends."

The Old Man obviously wanted to ask more, but he was interrupted by Zhan An's figure, chasing after Xian Guiying. He again looked at Jiang Ruolan and saw that even though her eyes were full of worry, she was very magnanimous.

Only after the Old Man and Xian Jian left with a cold expression as if someone had owed them tens of millions, Jiang Ruolan heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Xian Zihao and said, "Although my relationship with Qin Gengxin is fine, things have gotten complicated when it comes to Guiying. If grandpa knew that Qin Gengxin and I were a little too close, things would probably get out of hand."

"I know!"

Xian Zihao knew, he always knew.

In the Xian Family, Xian Zihao would always consider her a little more, and would not let her suffer any humiliation or harm or any suspicion or grievance.

"Grandfather is only angry and sensitive to everything. It's just a question, don't be afraid." Xian Zihao's voice was gentle as he patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"Guiying!"

Suddenly, a flurry of shouts came from outside. Jiang Ruolan and Xian Zihao exchanged a glance and hurried outside.

Xian Guiying was driving away from Xian Residence's courtyard when suddenly the front part of the car hit the shed. Even though the accident wasn't too serious, it still startled everyone.

Qin Gengxin was the first to rush forward and open the door, only to see Xian Guiying fall out of the car. He caught her easily. He noticed how pale her face was, and her hands clutching her stomach.

"Guiying! What's the matter with you? Don't you dare frighten your mother!" Zhan An ran over and crouched down beside her. She lowered her head and quickly looked at Guiying's pants.

Zhan An saw that there was no blood on her lower body, and then saw her hands tightly clutching her stomach. "Are you hurt? Which part of your body is in pain? Hurry up, tell mom!"

Xian Guiying shook her head with difficulty. "Mom … I... I'm fine …"

"You are already in pain, yet you're saying you are fine? Call Dr Li immediately!" Zhan An looked at the crowd and shouted.

Without another word, Qin Gengxin picked up Xian Guiying and carried her to Xian Residence.

An hour later, Dr Li came out of Xian Guiying's room. He glanced at the crowd waiting outside, then took another look at the Old Man, whose eyes were clearly full of worry even though he still looked angry on the surface, and then said in a low voice, "Miss Guiying may have been hiding the signs of pregnancy, so she didn't pay much attention to the food she ate during her first trimester. She had eaten some cold food, and she also frequently flew around the country, so her body wasn't too healthy."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they heard Dr Li's words. The Old Man turned his head to look at the door and sighed. Without a word, he turned around and left.

The tension in his heart lessened, but he seemed to have aged quite a bit in an instant. Old Man Xian sat in the living room with a cane in his hand. He was lost in thought.

Jiang Ruolan didn't know if she should disturb the Old Man now, but she couldn't resist walking towards his side and squatting beside him as she looked up at him. "Grandpa, since you said that Guiying's temper is very similar to yours, you should understand her. She had suffered too much because of the lack of love from her family and that's why she cared so much about that child."

Old Man Xian looked at her indifferently and sighed. "I'm already too old. I can't think about this at the moment."

Jiang Ruolan wanted to say something, but when she saw the Old Man's tired face, she knew it wasn't the time to say anything more.

***

A ball of hot air flowed to the side of Jiang Ruolan's neck, and when she drowsily opened her eyes, she saw Xian Zihao was kissing her. Her body inexplicably couldn't move at all.

At first, Jiang Ruolan thought that Xian Zihao was just teasing her like he usually did, but this time, when he actually directly untied her clothes and kissed her down, her entire body immediately turned cold.

It was like he didn't intend to stop. His hands continued to wander around her body.

Jiang Ruolan looked at his eyes that were filled with desire with slight shock. "Zihao, what are you doing? We can't."

No... How could Xian Zihao do this?

How could he do this to her!

At this moment, Jiang Ruolan was helpless to the point of not being able to move at all. Out of nowhere, she suddenly gained strength and finally succeeded in pushing him away.

At the same time she pushed him away, she discovered that the man in front of her had changed. It was Wei Donghai!
