Chapter 214

After hearing what Liang Zian said, Xu Lan instantly became furious and lost her mind.

She rushed to Zhou Mufan with her eyes wide open and gnashing teeth, raised her hand and gave him a loud slap in the face.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? That Xia Ruoan is not only the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, but she is also married to Leng Zexi!"

"Because of your concealment, I have made a fool of myself here today and lost so much face!" Xu Lan angrily accused Zhou Mufan while her body trembled slightly, and it was obvious that her heart was filled with fear and anxiety.

In fact, compared to the public embarrassment, Xu Lan was more worried about the harsh words Leng Zexi had said before - he would never let her family go.

She knew very well that with Leng Zexi's strength and means, if he really wanted to deal with her family, the consequences would be unimaginable.

By then, her father would be extremely disappointed in her and might even stop acknowledging her as his daughter. When Xu Lan thought of these serious consequences, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and felt cold all over.

On the other side, Zhou Mufan, who was slapped for no reason, was also very angry.

He covered his face, glared at Xu Lan and roared, "I warned you a long time ago not to provoke Xia Ruo'an, but you just didn't listen! Now that things have turned out like this, who can you blame? From now on, don't come to me again!"

After saying that, Zhou Mufan turned around and left without looking back, his steps seeming extremely determined.

Xu Lan never expected that Zhou Mufan would dare to treat her like this. She stood there in a daze, and it took her a while to come back to her senses.

Watching Zhou Mufan's back gradually going away, Xu Lan was anxious and angry, and shouted loudly: "Zhou Mufan, don't even think about getting rid of me so easily! Don't forget how much money you have spent on me in the past few years! Do you think I am a sucker and I am doing charity?"

"I'm telling you, you'd better divorce your wife and marry me, otherwise you'll be in trouble!" After shouting this, Xu Lan immediately ran in the direction Zhou Mufan left.

At this time, several people standing at the gate of Nanyuan who were in charge of guarding witnessed this farce and shook their heads helplessly.

One of them couldn't help but joked: "Why don't we just put up a sign at the door saying 'Zhou Mufan and dogs are not allowed to enter'."

After hearing this, the others couldn't help but smile at each other, but soon returned to their serious expressions and continued to perform their duties.

"It's very necessary! There happens to be a blackboard here. Wait a moment, I'll write this down and post it on the forum. I want to see if Zhou Mufan dares to come here and cause trouble next time."

"If he dares to come again, we can just go to Gu Xingchen and borrow a few big fat pigs to drive him away! We don't have dogs here, but we have pigs." Another person said after thinking for a while.

"That sounds like a great idea!" Another person nodded in agreement.

At this time, Xia Ruoan cast his gaze at the wound on Leng Zexi's hand, and couldn't help but sigh deeply helplessly.

In fact, she did not blame Leng Zexi for hitting someone, because even she herself would be furious when she heard Xu Lan say that.

What does the baby in her belly have to do with Xu Lan? Why do you have to say such harsh words?

"Don't worry, this minor injury will heal soon." Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan who was carefully applying medicine to him with tenderness on his face, and comforted her in a soft voice.

Xia Ruoan looked at Leng Zexi with an apologetic look, and said sincerely, "I'm so sorry. If I hadn't chosen to be with Zhou Mufan, there wouldn't be so many messy troubles now."

"Looking back now, I really regret that I agreed to be his girlfriend so easily." As she spoke, a hint of self-blame and regret flashed in her eyes.

After hearing this, Leng Zexi couldn't help but laugh softly, and that laugh seemed to carry a hint of relief: "So, I'm lucky enough to have your recognition! But, I'm the one who should say sorry."

"At the beginning, I should have observed Zhou Mufan's character more carefully, so that I could have prevented him from hurting you."

"But I was too weak and timid at the time. I didn't dare to face it all. I just kept running away. In the end, I chose to leave, but you had to bear the grievances alone for three whole years."

Having said that, Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan with guilt, his eyes revealing deep self-blame and regret.

Xia Ruoan slowly raised her head and met Leng Zexi's gaze, and her mind involuntarily began to fantasize.

If time could go back to the beginning, if Leng Zexi had taken the initiative in pursuing me passionately and sincerely, and cared for me as attentively as he does now.

Thinking of this, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged in her heart, as if in that situation, it was really difficult for her to resist this deep affection.

"If you had pursued me first, I would not have been able to reject you."

"It's just that, at that time, I often worried whether I was worthy of such an outstanding person like you. After all, looking back, the gap in status between the two of us was too great."

"If it weren't for the fact that Third Brother and you happened to be good friends, I'm afraid even meeting you would be a luxury, right? Not to mention the possibility of any further development."

Xia Ruoan muttered to himself as he recalled the past, his words revealing both nostalgia for the past years and a hint of regret.

"What do you mean? Did you fall in love with me the first time you saw me?" Leng Zexi slightly raised his sword-like eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he asked with interest.

Xia Ruoan shook her head gently, her cheeks slightly red, as cute and charming as a ripe apple. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said: "How dare I have such an idea at that time! I still remember the scene when I first met you. At that moment, time seemed to stop flowing."

"You stood there like a fairy from a painting, emitting an incomparable charm and radiance. You were really too perfect, so perfect that I dared not have any other thoughts."

At this point, Xia Ruo'an paused for a moment, then continued, "Before this, I always thought that my father and four brothers were already outstanding in appearance, but the moment I saw you, I truly understood what it meant to be 'there is always someone better'."

"You are like the bright moon hanging high in the sky. People can only look up and admire you from afar, but can never touch that distant and mysterious beauty. That feeling is really out of reach and out of reach! You can only be admired from afar and not played with."

After saying these words, Xia Ruoan raised his head and gazed at Leng Zexi's handsome face with gentle eyes like water, his eyes full of sincerity and honesty.

Leng Zexi obviously did not expect that he was so highly regarded in her mind, and was a little surprised for a moment.

After a long while, he came back to his senses. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he teased: "Is it really as exaggerated as you say?" However, although he said he didn't believe it, he was secretly happy in his heart.

"Really? I had a big fight with my deskmate because of you. I remember she excitedly showed me a photo of a celebrity and kept praising how pretty that celebrity was."

"But I told her that I had seen someone more beautiful than this. Of course she didn't believe me and insisted that I was lying. At that moment I really regretted it. It would have been great if I could have taken a photo of you at that time, so that she would have been convinced. In the end, she kept calling me a big liar."

Xia Ruoan thought about it and said in annoyance.

Leng Zexi held her hand tightly and said affectionately: "Now, you don't have to feel that you are out of reach anymore. I will always be by your side, and everything I have belongs to you."

Suddenly, Leng Zexi seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, can you still contact your deskmate now? Or, did you have a class group or something like that in high school?"

Xia Ruoan was a little confused by his sudden question, but still nodded and replied: "Yes, we have a class group on WeChat."

Hearing this, Leng Zexi stretched out his hand to Xia Ruoan and said with a smile: "Give me the phone."

Although she didn't know what he was going to do, Xia Ruoan still handed him the phone obediently and told him the name of the WeChat group.

Leng Zexi quickly opened his phone, found the WeChat group, and without hesitation sent the sweet wedding photos of the two stored in his phone to the group.

Then, he turned to look at Xia Ruoan and asked the name of her deskmate. After getting the answer, he went straight to find that person.

Hello, classmate! I am Xia Ruoan's lover. When I was in the second year of high school, I went to visit her home with Ruoan's brother.

That’s why Ruoan later said that I was more handsome than the star you were chasing after.

This is the wedding photo Ruoan and I took recently. Take a look and see if they are prettier than the celebrities you admired in the past.

Xia Ruoan was stunned and frantically tried to withdraw the message, but it was too late because many people had already responded.

One of the comments read: "Our class beauties are actually married! I never thought of that!"

Then someone else said, "That's right, Xia Ruoan is so mean. She didn't even tell us about such a big thing as getting married."

"Why don't we get together during the Spring Festival? Xia Ruo'an, don't refuse this time. You always said you were busy before, but this time you have to treat us, and you can bring your family members!"
