Chapter 99: To Have a Wife Like Qinghan, What More Could a Man Ask For

***

“Speaking of which, Ruoming, what did you draw?”

Walking back to the room, Jiang Ruhua suddenly asked.

About the question of foreseeing the future, she couldn’t convince herself in her heart, and finally decided to ask Xia Ruoming.

At that moment, Xia Ruoming’s expression suddenly changed slightly, but Jiang Ruhua, who wasn’t looking closely at Xia Ruoming, didn’t notice.

Indeed, that drawing was of Xia Ruoming and Jiang Ruhua. She hadn’t expected Jiang Ruhua to see the content of the drawing and become curious about it.

The little princess four years later was completely different from now. Xia Ruoming didn’t know if Jiang Ruhua had noticed that she was in the drawing.

Jiang Ruhua had no artistic talent but enjoyed appreciating art. If she was just ordinarily curious, telling her that she was in the drawing would purely bring some trouble to herself.

“Ah… that? It’s an illustration for my novel, just practicing my drawing skills now,” Xia Ruoming said with feigned calmness, glancing at Jiang Ruhua to observe her reaction.

The highest art of lying is to never lie.

That drawing was indeed an illustration for Xia Ruoming’s novel in her previous life, so what Xia Ruoming said was actually true.

But that novel was written by Xia Ruoming based on her and Jiang Ruhua, using the story of how Jiang Ruhua initially kept her as a mistress.

Although in the novel, she and Jiang Ruhua had a happy ending, reality and fiction were ultimately different matters. In the end, Xia Ruoming was even backstabbed by this book.

In her previous life, the reason Xia Ruoming’s reputation fell so quickly wasn’t just because Jiang Ruhua was causing trouble behind the scenes, but also importantly because her readers actually discovered that damn story was real, and their beloved author was a kept mistress.

For Jiang Ruhua, keeping a mistress wasn’t much of an issue for her reputation, not even a blemish. Many women in the entertainment industry even hoped to be kept by Jiang Ruhua, and after learning about Jiang Ruhua’s interest, actively pursued her.

But Xia Ruoming was different.

When the packaged halo was stripped away, that kind of disparity was really particularly great.

“Oh…” After hearing Xia Ruoming’s explanation, Jiang Ruhua nodded, seemingly without any suspicion.

She thought that Xia Ruoming probably couldn’t create a character design out of thin air, so she borrowed her and her own image. After all, the image in that drawing was completely different except for the similar facial features. What she saw earlier was probably just stress-induced hallucination, since she had experienced hallucinations before fainting when she was young.

It should just be that she saw Xia Ruoming’s drawing, and because she had been thinking about getting Xia Ruoming and imagining the future, she had this kind of hallucination.

What a pity, if it really was a prediction of the future, then Xia Ruoming would be destined to be hers.

Seeing that Jiang Ruhua seemed to believe her, Xia Ruoming discreetly wiped her sweat, then let out a soft sigh, making a firm resolution in her heart that she would never draw any pictures from her previous life again, as it was too troublesome to explain if seen.

Although this vow was forgotten by Xia Ruoming in less than a week, and later brought her even more troubles.

“Ruoming, want to eat? Breakfast is ready!” While Xia Ruoming was still deceiving Jiang Ruhua, Xiao Qinghan’s call came from the dining room.

“Okay, Sister Qinghan, I’ll be right there,” Xia Ruoming responded.

“Does little princess want to go eat together? Or does little princess not want to move now, and I’ll bring it over to you later?”

After responding to Xiao Qinghan, Xia Ruoming turned back to ask Jiang Ruhua.

“Help me go, I don’t want to stay in bed,” Jiang Ruhua said stubbornly. Although she didn’t have much strength now, her target was Xia Ruoming, and she wouldn’t let that Xiao Qinghan who wanted to steal from her stay alone with Xia Ruoming.

Xia Ruoming looked at the little princess’s tsundere face and chuckled softly, then still took the little princess’s arm, slowly helping her to the dining room.

“Sister Qinghan doesn’t need to get up so early, I can go out and buy something for breakfast.”

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast of three delicacies spring rolls, preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and fermented rice balls, Xia Ruoming felt a bit touched. She also knew that Xiao Qinghan got up so early to make breakfast for her, after all, since Xiao Qinghan quit her job, she would sleep until noon at home, often skipping breakfast altogether.

And knowing that she exercises a lot every day, she specially served her a larger portion for breakfast.

To have a wife like Qinghan, what more could a man ask for.

“How could that be? How can food bought outside compare to homemade food? Besides, I’ll be busy these days too, getting up a bit earlier is nothing. Rather, Ruoming is more tired than me all day long, rest a bit more in the morning and just come eat the breakfast I make when you get up,” Xiao Qinghan smiled gently at Ruoming, looking just like a virtuous wife.

“Then… I’ll trouble Sister Qinghan, after all, compared to breakfast outside, Sister Qinghan’s cooking is better,” Xia Ruoming didn’t continue to refuse, after all, with things said to this point, it would seem impolite to decline further.

“Yes, in this world, you are the only woman I would cook for. Not even for friends, even for those at home, I wouldn’t cook for them,” Xiao Qinghan smiled, seeming especially happy whenever Xia Ruoming praised her cooking.

“Whoever marries Sister Qinghan will truly be blessed for life, after all, Sister Qinghan will definitely be a virtuous wife and good mother in the future,” Xia Ruoming took a bite of the three delicacies spring roll made by Xiao Qinghan and praised sincerely.

After Xia Ruoming said this, Xiao Qinghan turned her face away. Neither Jiang Ruhua nor Xia Ruoming noticed her soft sigh.

“Even if I’m the most virtuous wife and good mother, I’m still not the one who can occupy Ruoming’s heart.” Thinking of this, Xiao Qinghan was again overwhelmed by a sense of loss.

At this time, Xiao Qinghan didn’t know her worry was unnecessary, after all, in the future, she would be the only woman who could “call Ruoming during the day, and have Ruoming call out at night.” In front of others, Xia Ruoming who was aggressive on the outside but passive on the inside could still be tough, but in front of Xiao Qinghan, Xia Ruoming seemed to always be like an enticing submissive.

Jiang Ruhua ate the sumptuous breakfast made by Xiao Qinghan, but felt like she was eating tasteless beeswax. The porridge was first-class in both appearance and taste, but it got stuck in her throat and couldn’t be swallowed.

No choice, when a person is jealous, everything tastes sour.

Watching Xiao Qinghan and Xia Ruoming sweetly “showing their affection,” Jiang Ruhua felt sour all over, wanting to intervene but unable to do anything. After all, she wasn’t as virtuous as Xiao Qinghan, not to mention from their previous conversation, Jiang Ruhua learned that Xiao Qinghan seemed to have helped a lot with Xia Ruoming’s career, which made her even more frustrated.

How could such a woman, who was lethal to both men and women, come to compete with her?

But Xiao Qinghan is much older than Xia Ruoming. Ruoming, you’re not a lesbian who likes older women, are you?!
