Chapter 171

"Here, eat this, it's very sweet." Leng Zexi smiled and carefully handed the orange that he had just peeled and confirmed to be sweet to the other person.

Lin Cai took the bright yellow orange with some surprise and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that a young master like you wouldn't have an easy life!"

Leng Zexi nodded slightly, his eyes deep and far-reaching, as if recalling the hard times in the past: "Yes, it's really not that easy to be a young master. Since I was five years old, my family sent me to the army to receive strict training, all for the sake of saving my life."

Having said that, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he quickly regained his composure, as if those hardships had long since become the cornerstone of his growth.

Xia Ruo'an, who was standing by, listened to the conversation between the two quietly. She subconsciously reached out and gently stroked her slightly bulging belly. She couldn't help but feel worried: "Our baby shouldn't face so many dangers in the future, right?"

Leng Zexi quickly reached out his hand, gently covered her little hand on her belly, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, our babies will be fine."

"I will never let them be exposed to the public too early, and I will do my best to protect their safety, so don't have any wild thoughts."

Seeing that Xia Ruoan still frowned and looked worried, Ouyang Jin also hurriedly came forward, gently rubbed her soft hair, and said firmly: "Ruoan, don't worry too much, I am still here! I promise you that I will never let you and the babies get hurt."

Xia Ruoan raised her head and looked at Leng Zexi and her brothers who were so concerned about her and her children. She finally smiled with relief, "Well, I believe you."

In fact, she had heard from her second brother before that her fourth brother was now of great status and even had someone assigned to take care of him.

As long as they are around, it seems that nothing can't be solved.

Zhou Mufan stood quietly outside the yard, his eyes fixed on Xia Ruoan.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan was smiling brightly and carefreely, and that smile was as gorgeous and dazzling as the most beautiful flower in spring.

However, this innocent smile made Zhou Mufan feel bitter and painful, because he had not seen Xia Ruoan so happy for a long time.

Recalling the first time he met Xia Ruoan, it was her pure and unadulterated smile that attracted him deeply.

From that moment on, Zhou Mufan secretly vowed to pursue this girl with an angelic smile.

But who could have thought that two people who once loved each other so much would end up like this today.

As his thoughts drifted, Zhou Mufan couldn't help but think of Xia Ruan stroking his belly just now.

Once upon a time, Xia Ruoan told him about her future plans with great anticipation: after graduating from graduate school, they would get a marriage certificate, hold a romantic wedding, and then have two lovely babies together.

She said that if a couple quarrels in the future, each of them will have a little helper to mediate and persuade.

What a beautiful scene it was at that time! But now, the child does exist in Xia Ruoan's belly, but unfortunately, this child has nothing to do with him.

He didn't even have the chance to stand next to Ruoan.

Just as Zhou Mufan was immersed in painful memories, a sarcastic voice suddenly came: "Have you seen enough? If you have, get out of here as soon as possible!"

The person who spoke was Xia Ruoan's father, Xia Lin. Xia Lin stared at Zhou Mufan with a cold face, his eyes full of contempt and disgust.

Zhong Yanyan stood quietly by the side, pursed her lips and said nothing, but her face, which was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, said it all.

She was extremely dissatisfied with Zhou Mufan's arrival. Finally, she broke the silence, looked at Zhou Mufan coldly, and said unceremoniously: "Zhou Mufan, leave here quickly! Our family does not welcome people like you!"

Zhong Yanyan raised a scornful smile and continued to taunt: "Come to think of it, I really have to 'thank' you. If it weren't for those messy women you provoked, how could my Ruoan have such a happy marriage now?"

After saying that, she couldn't help but sneer.

Then, Zhong Yanyan turned her gaze to the few people beside Ruoan, and pointed at them proudly and said to Zhou Mufan: "See? These are Ruoan's brothers. They are all excellent and are people you will never be able to reach in your lifetime."

"Take Lin Cai for example. I'm sure you are familiar with him, right? Most of the business of your Zhou family company was given to you by Lin Cai out of kindness. He did it entirely for Ruo'an's sake."

"And you, on the other hand, actually dare to look down on Ruoan's background. Don't you think about who you are? In terms of background and appearance, how can my Ruoan be inferior to you? It's obviously you who are not worthy of my Ruoan at all!"

"Do you know why we didn't let Lin Cai tell Ruoan about her life experience before? Because we wanted Ruoan to see what kind of person you are. In fact, we gave you two chances to get to know Ruoan and learn about her life experience, but it's a pity that you didn't cherish it."

"The first time was when you refused to go with Ruoan to meet her brother. At that time, except for the eldest brother Mu Shen who was not in the country, Zishu, Lincai, and Xiaojin all went, but you didn't go. You went to the bar instead."

"There was another time when we, as parents, were worried and wanted to go over to meet you. In fact, we didn't hold out hope at that time. We even wanted to use that meeting to make Ruoan break up with you, because Ruoan's brothers didn't like you as their brother-in-law."

"It's just that we didn't expect you to not come. What a coincidence that you're eating at the same hotel as us. That's the hotel An An likes to eat at. The one we booked before is the one you like."

As Xia Lin said this, he felt that God had a vision and allowed Ruoan to recognize the true nature of this scumbag earlier.

"I, Ruoan's mother, and Ruoan all heard what you said to your friends, and what you said to Ruoan that belittled my daughter. You are very powerful. You are the first person who made my daughter so sad."

"Those of us who dote on Ruoan, give her money to spend, and protect her have to read her face and try to make her happy. Why do you make her sad? None of her food, clothing, and other expenses count for anything you give her." Xia Lin looked at him and questioned.

Zhou Mufan took a few steps back when he heard Xia's father's questioning.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Mufan looked at them sadly and said.
