Chapter 172 – A Man Who You Can’t See Through, Dares Give Your Heart To Him

Five days later, the wound on Jiang Ruolan's head and neck was nearly healed, and she could no longer feel any pain from wriggling her head. Her body also gradually recovered its strength, and she leaned against the bed with squinted eyes, nibbling on the apple Xiong Ruogang bought her when she came to visit that morning.

Xian Zihao left for a while after Assistant Bai suddenly made a call. Jiang Ruolan turned around and looked at the sky outside the window. Her gaze fell on her phone, which was on the bedside table.

Qin Gengxin hadn't shown up since he came here five days ago. Xian Zihao said to give him some time to calm down, but she also understood that if she was Qin Gengxin, she will also not forgive herself soon.

However, it had already been five days. With Qin Gengxins quick temper, he should have already calmed down.

If she called him and said that she was sorry, his face would have definitely turned sullen, and he would have pretended not to hear her.

Jiang Ruolan paused for a moment. With one hand holding the half-eaten apple and the other holding her phone, she thought for a moment before sending Qin Gengxin a short message.

'I've been through the gates of hell. Shouldn't you congratulate me?'

Jiang Ruolan intended to tease Qin Gengxin. She hoped that ancestor would be magnanimous and forgive this ignorant commoner …

However, after fifteen minutes the text was sent, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean. There was no response.

Jiang Ruolan was a little distressed. She felt that it was all her fault. It was even more impossible for her to remain calm. She could only type the words on her phone one at a time.

'Little Qin, are you busy?'

Another fifteen minutes passed, but there was still no response.

In the end, Jiang Ruolan just jabbed her phone again and again.

'President Qin, I'm the business editor of Fengyu Media, Little Jiang. I have something important to report to you!'

Even when Xian Zihao returned, she was still lying on the bed, looking at the dark screen with regret.

"Zihao.." She looked up at Xian Zihao, who was dressed in a white sweater. "Has Qin Gengxin contacted you in the past few days?"

Xian Zihao slowly walked into the ward and saw her lying on the bed, fiddling with her cell phone. She did not look like a patient at all. "Unable to contact him?"

Jiang Ruolan lowered her head helplessly. She looked at the screen of her phone, which was still dark, "I don't know what to say when I call him, but I feel that when I face him, all my apologies become pale and weak. I tried to send a few text messages, but he didn't reply at all."

"Qin Group's total investment has increased over the past month. Probably because he is too busy." Xian Zihao comforted her and held her hand tightly. He looked at the scabbed wound on her head and neck carefully. "The doctor said that you could be discharged tomorrow. However, you had better rest at home for half a month."

"But the company…"

"Aren't you thinking of promoting your colleague, Xiong Ruogang? For half a month you rest, let her take over your responsibilities. This is a rare experience for an internship."

In fact, Jiang Ruolan also knew how severe her injury was. She heard that the metal almost pierced her, and only after four days did she manage to survive the dangerous period. Although she could easily twist her head now, it was only a scab, and the wound had not completely healed yet. No matter how much she didn't want to stay home all day, she knew how bad her body condition was, so she had to take a break.

On the first day after she was discharged, Jiang Ruolan checked the information about the crystal necklace. She couldn't find any trace of the necklace on the internet at all.

It was not easy for her to remember at that age, but she still remembered that her mother did not often wear that crystal necklace. The crystal necklace was usually kept in the cupboard, rarely taken out, and never shown to anyone.

Jiang Ruolan had thought of many possibilities, many of which could only be seen in television dramas. Perhaps that crystal necklace was related to her mother's background? Or perhaps it was related to Yijun's ancestry? But why was Zhan Lian so afraid of this crystal necklace?

After racking her brains, she was still unable to think of the reason. She left the study with a headache. She had been staying in the hospital for the past few days, and now that she was resting at home, she was really bored.

Jiang Ruolan had never taken a bus at Greenville Residence because the bus at this stop would never pass her company. However, when she saw the name of the street where Qin Gengxin lived, she thought it was time for her to meet him, so when the bus stopped, she boarded the bus without hesitation.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Ruolan got off the bus and looked at the building where Qin Gengxin lived.

She walked into the building and took the elevator to the 15th floor. Standing outside his apartment, she carefully looked around and then looked at the door in front of her. She didn't know if he was in the apartment or not.

After a few knocks and a moment of waiting, no one came to the door.

Jiang Ruolan looked at the door before her. She felt somewhat uneasy. In the end, she still took out her phone and walked away as she looking for Qin Gengxin's number.

Just as she reached the elevator door, the door behind her was suddenly opened from the inside. She turned around and saw Qin Gengxin standing there with an unsightly expression on his face. He was looking at her with a frown.

"Qin …" Jiang Ruolan opened her mouth but suddenly saw his pale face and haggard appearance. His usual clean and simple short hair was stuck to his head, and his brown t-shirt didn't seem to have been changed for a few days.

Jiang Ruolan stared at his face in surprise.

"You've been in your apartment these past few days?"

Qin Gengxin didn't answer. He only frowned in annoyance and said coldly, "You're looking for me?"

Jiang Ruolan nodded, "Yes, I was looking for you."

His eyes were cold, devoid of any sort of warmth. "For what?"

"Huh?" She was stunned for a moment.

"You want to see me? For what?" His thin lips tightened as he stared at her coldly. "Apologize to me? You're sorry because you didn't mean to hide it from me. You just didn't dare to say it out loud for fear of affecting my brotherly relationship with Zihao?"

"You should know that I have my own reason." Jiang Ruolan immediately stopped apologizing. She felt even more guilty.

"What reason?" Qin Gengxin narrowed his eyes as a faint smile appeared on his face. With a cold glint in his eyes, he continued, "I should investigate about it the moment I saw you."

Qin Gengxin had respected her and because of that, he hadn't investigated her private life. Of course, if he wanted to investigate, it would only take a day. How could he not know about this after Xian Zihao had spoken to him?

Jiang Ruolan had always known that Qin Gengxin was not simple. She had always treated others with the same sloppy attitude. She was just an exterior that people appreciated.

Xian Zihao and Qin Gengxin have been good friends in recent years. One can shake the business world abroad while the other can change the company's current stock. They were both equally great men.

If Qin Gengxin did not respect her, he would investigate about her all these years.

However, from the beginning, she never played with his feelings. Other than that time when she went drinking with him, she never approached him on her own initiative.

Jiang Ruolan had never thought that in the end, she was still wrong. She kept delaying from telling him the truth but in the end, it turned out to be the opposite of what Xian Zihao had said at the beginning.

Judging from her guilty and unrebutted expression, it could be seen that this time, Jiang Ruola had to restrain her temper when she came to confront him. Otherwise, according to her usual behavior, she would have argued with him endlessly a long time ago.

Qin Gengxin looked at her coldly. "If you really want to apologize, then you can leave."

Just as he was about to close the door, he suddenly paused and looked at her. His voice was still as cold as before, "I'll give you the most relevant reminder, even if you have no feelings for me."

Jiang Ruolan looked at him, waiting.

"Xian Zihao won't be the last place for you to stop. Do not repeat the path your mother took many years ago, foolishly putting your feelings on a man who will never love you. One day, he will be the best for you, but he will also be your most deadly wound." With that, he closed the door with a bang.

But before the door could be closed tightly, Jiang Ruolan walked as fast as she could and grabbed the edge of the door, then forcefully opened the door.

She looked into Qin Gengxin's cold eyes, "Explain what you are saying just now!"

Qin Gengxin looked at her expressionlessly. He folded his arms across his chest and leaned against the door. He sneered. "Which sentence?"

Jiang Ruolan glared at him fiercely, knowing that he was purposely angering her. She took out the silver necklace Zhou Shufen had given her and held it in front of his eyes.

Qin Gengxin only glanced at it once, and if he already knew about it.

"You know this thing, don't you?" she asked.

Qin Gengxin glanced at her apathetically, his eyes seemed to contain a trace of pity, "A man who you can't see through, dares give your heart to him? Huh. Jiang Ruolan, you are too blind. I advise you to let go of this stubbornness as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will only hurt yourself in the future."

The corner of Jiang Ruolan's mouth curved into a smile. "Are you trying to use these words to provoke me?"

"You can think of it that way." Qin Gengxin did not bother to explain anything. He put down his arms, turned around, and walked in. "If you want to stay, come in. If you don't want to stay, please close the door for me before you leave."
