Jiang Ruolan immediately resisted the urge to spit on his face. A knife appeared in her hand out of nowhere, screaming as she slashed at the person in front of her while resisting.

Wei Donghai jumped off the bed and tried to run. Jiang Ruolan immediately rushed out of bed, ignoring her naked body. She yanked the door open the moment Wei Donghai ran out of the room.

However, the moment she raised the blade, that blurry face turned clear. It was … Xian Zihao!

"Ruolan, it's me!" Xian Zihao's eyes were filled with anxiety and anger, just like the time when he broke into the basement of that bar. Jiang Ruolan's hand stiffened, but it was already too late to stop.

Xian Zihao's face paled and his tall figure slowly fell to the ground before her eyes.

"No! No no no. No! Zihao! Zihao, please don't die. Wake up!" Jiang Ruolan screamed loudly as she crouched down and hugged his bleeding body that was gradually turning cold.

She cried out in pain, "Zihao, don't die! Don't leave me. Please, wake up."

Jiang Ruolan suddenly woke up from her stupor and shot up from the bed.

She threw herself into a warm and familiar embrace. Her body trembled violently. She looked at Xian Zihao's handsome face with her teary eyes.

Xian Zihao had been reading a file in his study when he heard her screaming. He had rushed back to their bedroom and hugged her after she woke up from the nightmare.

"Another nightmare?" Xian Zihao's voice was so gentle and it was able to calm all of her emotions. He gently held her in his arms and continued caressing her back.

Jiang Ruolan finally calmed herself down after sniffing on the familiar scents. However, she couldn't resist grabbing onto his sleeve tightly. Without saying a word, she lowered her head and buried it in his chest.

"Tell me, what did you dream about?" Seeing her childish behavior, Xian Zihao couldn't help but ask with a light smile.

"Zihao, will you leave me?" Jiang Ruolan asked in a muffled voice. After asking, she felt that she had made a big fuss out of nothing. It was a bizarre dream, but those dreams really scared her.

Jiang Ruolan thought of the time when Xian Zihao had been shot and almost lost his life. She also thought of the underworld people who had offered a high reward for his head.

Jiang Ruolan had never wished as much as she did now. She hoped that Xian Zihao was just an ordinary person and that no one wanted his life. She also hoped that Xian Zihao didn't have many restrictions and complications in the business world.

For some reason, Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt terrified. Things that she had always understood had actually scared her to this extent. She couldn't help but tightly hug his waist, burying her head in his chest.

Whether or not she had truly become dependent on him, whether or not she had fallen in love to the point where she can't free herself from him, it didn't matter anymore.

Xian Zihao pushed her away by half an arm and looked down at her pale face. He gently ruffled her hair. "Idiot, I won't abandon me. We are husband and wife, no matter where and no matter what time, we will always be together. Do you hear me?"

Jiang Ruolan suddenly felt that she was making small things become big. She couldn't help but rub her nose and smiled apologetically. "Mmm."

"Are you still worried about Guiying? Look at you, you've only slept for a few hours, and you're having nightmares again."

Jiang Ruolan nodded, then shook her head, "Didn't people say pregnant women are too sensitive? Maybe this is related to pregnancy, but this is the first time in a long time I have had such a bloody dream."

"Bloody?" Xian Zihao raised his eyebrows. "How so? You killed people?"

Jiang Ruolan glared at him. "Don't make wild guesses! It was just a dream."

At this moment, Jiang Ruolan's cell phone suddenly rang. It was already past 11 PM. Who would call her at this time?

When Jiang Ruolan saw the caller ID, she was stunned.

***

Two days later.

The Xian Residence was decorated with lanterns. Nanny Cheng and the others were busy hanging lanterns inside and outside the house. These were things that older people liked.

"Ruolan, your stomach is becoming more and more obvious." Zhan An, who had gone downstairs after seeing Xian Guiying, smiled and looked at Jiang Ruolan's stomach.

Jiang Ruolan looked down at her slightly bulging stomach. In the blink of an eye, she met Xian Zihao's gaze. When she saw the satisfied and expectant smile in his eyes, she also smiled.

She then looked back at Zhan An, "Mom, did Guiying eat yet?"

"Yes, she's already gone to sleep." Zhan An nodded and sat on the opposite couch. She looked at Jiang Ruolan's stomach again and said, "It's only been three months but I can't wait for this child to be born. Look at your belly, it has already shown so much. It can't be that you are pregnant with a twin, right?"

Xian Zihao chuckled from the side. "Maybe, who knows."

Jiang Ruolan awkwardly put her hand to her mouth and coughed as she whispered, "This is my first time being a mother, and I can't even take care of one of them. If there are two of them…." she didn't finish her words.

Jiang Ruolan can't imagine what would happen if she gave birth to twins.

However, Xian Zihao whispered into her ear, "At that time, everyone in Xian Family should be willing to shoulder the burden for you."

Jiang Ruolan's brain instantly replayed the scene where Xian Zihao carried a baby and coaxed his child while feeding him a bottle of milk. Jiang Ruolan was greatly embarrassed, but she couldn't refrain herself from laughing. She began to look forward to the day that would soon come.

"That's right, it would be even better if there were two of them. If you give birth to only one, then the Old Man would monopolize the child by himself every day and doesn't let us carry him. I'm afraid that he will become greedy!" Zhan An smiled and said, "If there were two of them, I would at least be able to hug them."

"This child hasn't even been born yet and you're already fighting with me over it." Old Man Xian's voice was heard as he walked inside from outside. He calmly glanced at Zhan An.

Zhan An laughed, "Dad, look at what you're saying. Didn't you say many years ago that you wanted to have a few kids hanging around near you? Look at Ruolan's stomach. It's so big and it was just three months. I think it must be twins!"

Seeing the excited expression on her mother-in-law's face, Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but say softly, "Mom, this is just a guess. Maybe it's because I've been eating a lot lately and I've gotten fatter."

"It's better to be a bit fatter but I don't mind if your child is one or two! They are all the precious treasures of our Xian Family!"

The Old Man intentionally looked at Jiang Ruolan's stomach after what Zhan An had just said. His eyes lit up a little. "Indeed, it's much more obvious now."

Jiang Ruolan was obviously the most important person in the Xian Family right now. When she saw the light in Old Man Xian's eyes, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Grandfather, we can't let the child get too spoiled. All of you are pampering him like this, and I'm afraid that he'll be spoiled by you before he's even born."

"It was useless for you to say that. This Old Man has always been looking forward to this day. Maybe in the future when this child wants an aircraft, he would immediately think of ways to get it." Zhan An teased.

Old Man Xian's eyes were filled with joy. "My own great-grandson, if I don't love him, who will?"

Xian Zihao hugged Jiang Ruolan tightly and said with a low voice, "You are now a treasure of the Xian Family. I'm afraid even I can't touch you now."

Jiang Ruolan's eyes curved into a smile. Suddenly, she recalled back the first time she went to Xian Residence.

Old Man Xian's cold expression, Cui Liuxian's stabbing words and accusation, Xian Jian's slap, and the estrangement that the Xian Family had given her.

And now, Old Man Xian had treated her like a treasure. His acceptance, his smile, his decision for her made her feel the warmth of home.

The warmth and acceptance by the family she had lost for more than several years were given to her by the Xian Family and it was also because of the man called Xian Zihao by her side.

Suddenly the sound of a car coming from outside interrupted their happy chatting. The Old Man thought Xian Jian had come back, so he got up from his chair and walked out to take a look.

When Jiang Yijun appeared in everyone's line of sight, the Old Man suddenly stopped his steps and stood in front of the door with his cane. From afar, he saw Jiang Yijun close the car door and stand beside the car, looking at them expressionlessly.

Jiang Ruolan also saw Jiang Yijun and immediately raised her eyebrows.

The night two days ago, it was Jiang Yijun who had called her. Jiang Ruolan took that opportunity to tell him everything the Old Man had said and his wishes. At that time, Jiang Yijun remained silent for a long time and then said that he would consider it.

Jiang Ruolan never told the Old Man that Jiang Yijun would come back because she didn't know if he would come back or not. She never expected him to come back.

Xian Zihao knew about the phone call from that night, so he wasn't surprised. However, they both looked at Zhan An simultaneously.
