Chapter 22

"The school has learned about her actions, given her a serious warning, and recorded it. If she dares to cause you any harm again, she will be expelled." Leng Zexi explained the results to her in detail.

Then he turned around, looked at her sharply, and asked, "Before this, was there any entanglement between you?"

Xia Ruoan shook her head slightly to deny it. She answered truthfully, "I just met her for the first time yesterday, but the reason why I attended the party was indeed related to her."

As for what the grudge between the two was, Xia Ruoan was really confused. When she questioned Wang Rongrong, she just vaguely said that she could only blame her for taking something that did not belong to her.

Wang Rongrong did not specify who it was, which made Xia Ruoan very confused.

She couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't understand what she meant by 'snatched away'. People are not objects that can be snatched away at will, how can they be snatched away?"

However, Leng Zexi gave an explanation: "The person she was talking about should be Zhou Mufan. Since her family has business dealings with the Zhou family, they have met in the business world."

"Wang Rongrong had a crush on Zhou Mufan, so when she learned that you were close to him, she became jealous and thought that you were of a humble origin and unworthy of Zhou Mufan's favor."

When Xia Ruoan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she sighed helplessly: "I have already broken up with Zhou Mufan."

Leng Zexi raised his eyebrows, looked at her and said, "But she doesn't know about this. The news of your breakup with Zhou Mufan is probably only known by your good friends."

He was right, Xia Ruo'an nodded in agreement. Indeed, if they wanted to let everyone know that they had broken up, wouldn't they have to inform everyone one by one? Besides, it was normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to break up and get back together. It wasn't like they were getting divorced, so there was no need to make it known to everyone.

Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. Fortunately, Zhou Mufan looked down on her and would not marry her, otherwise it would be a big trouble!

Even after breaking up, she was still being plotted against because of Zhou Mufan. She is really unlucky.

Leng Zexi found her regretful look funny, so he stopped dwelling on the matter and shifted the topic to the two of them. He stared at Xia Ruo'an and asked, "Okay, let's put these things aside for now. So, what about the two of us?"

Xia Ruoan blinked her big eyes and pretended to be stupid and asked, "What's wrong with us?" Her voice was as small as a mosquito's hum, and it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.

Leng Zexi frowned slightly and asked firmly, "What do you think? You should still remember what happened last night, right?"

"You said last night that you didn't regret it and you were very proactive." Leng Zexi said with a smirk on his face, and at the same time gently nodded his neck, motioning Xia Ruoan to look at the marks left there.

Xia Ruoan looked in the direction of his movements, her face suddenly flushed with shame, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"Why didn't you send me to the hospital yesterday?" Xia Ruoan couldn't help complaining. If she had gone to the hospital, perhaps none of this would have happened. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a headache.

Leng Zexi sighed helplessly: "Ouyang Lan gave the medicine, but he didn't notice that someone changed the medicine. Later, your condition was too urgent and it was too late to send you to the hospital. And..."

Having said that, he suddenly stopped, a cunning look flashed in his eyes, and then he continued: "An An, you should have some confidence in your charm. Facing your temptation, I really can't resist." After saying that, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.

Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond. She muttered to herself: Is it because I am pretty good-looking that I caught Leng Zexi's eye?

Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan's embarrassed expression, smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Oh, so that's how it is. I was tempted by your beauty." Xia Ruoan responded pretending to be calm, but his heart was filled with ripples.

"If you think so, then it's fine. Then go out with me. Aim for marriage. If you want to get married first and then fall in love, that's fine too." Leng Zexi suggested in a firm tone, his eyes sincere and warm.

Xia Ruoan was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Brother Leng, I'm going back to school." Xia Ruoan said as he lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.

However, as her body had not fully recovered, she felt her legs go weak and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, Leng Zexi quickly supported her and said with concern: "An An, are you running away?" He gently pushed Xia Ruoan back onto the bed, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and tenderness.

"Your senior sister called me yesterday and said that I can arrive at half past eight." Leng Zexi glanced at the time on his phone and explained, "It's not even seven o'clock now. I'll take you to school in half an hour at most."

Xia Ruoan remained silent, secretly thankful that there was still some time, but at the same time he also felt a little nervous and uneasy.

Leng Zexi seemed to have noticed her mood change and continued to ask: "So, tell me, An An, you don't want to take responsibility, do you? I asked you before, and you said you didn't regret it and you would take responsibility for me."

Xia Ruoan's cheeks flushed instantly, and she quickly turned her head away, not daring to look Leng Zexi in the eye.

This feeling made her feel as if she had become an irresponsible person, which was contrary to her inner values.

She knew very well that she should take corresponding responsibility for what happened last night.

"My mind wasn't working very well last night." Xia Ruoan tried to defend himself, but his voice sounded a little weak.

She knew that she couldn't escape this problem no matter what.

Leng Zexi stared at Xia Ruoan closely, with a firmness flashing in his eyes. He said slowly: "An An, yesterday was my first time, you must be responsible for me." His tone was firm and unquestionable.

Xia Ruoan looked up in surprise and looked at Leng Zexi, her face full of disbelief. She had never thought that Leng Zexi would say this so frankly. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond, her heart was full of contradictions and confusion.

In order to prevent himself and Xia Ruo'an from breaking up, Leng Zexi put aside all his face and dignity. He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might never have another chance. So he decided to go all out and express his thoughts to Xia Ruo'an in the most direct and honest way.

Xia Ruoan was really shocked when he heard it, "First time?"

"Yes, that's right." Leng Zexi nodded.
