Chapter 278

"Yeah, then go for it!" Xia Ruoan looked at Mother Lu encouragingly and nodded.

Just then, Binbin's mother called from home and asked why she hadn't brought the groceries home yet. Mother Lu quickly got up, said goodbye to Xia Ruoan and left in a hurry.

Just then, they finally noticed two men approaching slowly.

Xia Ruoan couldn't help but feel curious and looked at them with a slightly puzzled look.

Seeing the two people approaching, Xia Ruoan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Excuse me... are you here to get vegetables too?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in his words.

After all, except for the kind-hearted mother of the Lu family who would take the opportunity of her early morning run to pick up vegetables, the other residents in this compound usually sent their servants to come.

Therefore, when Xia Ruoan saw the two strange men in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little unsure, so he asked this question.

One of the men in a white T-shirt looked a little shy. He nodded slightly and said shyly, "Well... my account name is Yang. I was lucky enough to grab a portion of vegetables yesterday."

"By the way, could you please give me a tomato? It's ok if you charge extra." As she spoke, a faint blush appeared on her face.

Xia Ruo'an was stunned when she heard this, but then she smiled, as bright and beautiful as a blooming spring flower, "Of course! But you don't have to pay extra. Wait a moment, I'll pick it for you."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the vegetable garden.

At this moment, the man in a blue shirt standing nearby happened to see Xia Ruoan's beautiful smile.

In an instant, he felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was stunned and his eyes were full of amazement.

It was not until he saw Xia Ruoan walk into the house that he came back to his senses as if awakened from a dream.

Then, he grabbed the arm of his friend beside him and said in a low voice, "Brother! Stop pretending. You didn't come here just to get the food. You obviously came here for this beautiful lady!"

"Well... let's compete fairly! I can tell you, I like her too. She is simply my muse!"

Qi Wang stared at Bai Yu closely, his eyes flashing with undisguised eagerness and desire.

Bai Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips after hearing this. He responded with a smile: "Can you please stop talking nonsense here? I really just came here to pick up some food today!"

Qi Wang curled his lips in disapproval and retorted: "Don't try to trick me. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking."

"Besides, I'm not like you who falls in love with every girl I meet!" Bai Yu rolled his eyes and looked at him and said.

"That's called pursuing beautiful things! However, if I am lucky enough to marry the beauty I just saw, I will definitely change my mind and treat her wholeheartedly from now on!"

Qi Wang said this solemnly, as if he had already painted a happy picture in his mind.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you two whispering about here? And who do you want to pursue?"

Qi Wang and Bai Yu were startled by the sudden questioning and turned around hastily. They saw Leng Zexi standing there, his face livid, his eyes as sharp as a knife shooting straight at them.

Leng Zexi was extremely angry, he just went back to the old house to get some things, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door, he heard someone talking so brazenly about pursuing and even marrying his wife, this was simply too much!

When Qi saw that it was Leng Zexi, he was startled at first, then he quickly reached out and patted his chest, trying to calm his heart that was beating rapidly due to fright.

After a long while, he stammered, "Brother Leng...Brother Leng, you...you suddenly appeared and frightened me to death!"

Leng Zexi frowned, looked Qi Wang up and down, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? So it's Qi Wang's youngest son!"

Obviously, he still had some impression of Qi Wang.

When Qi Wang heard that the other party actually remembered him, he was immediately flattered and nodded and responded quickly: "Yes, yes, it's me!"

"I have been studying abroad for further studies, and I just returned to China recently!"

"You like the person who just came in, and you even want to pursue her?"

Leng Zexi's face did not show the usual giggling and frivolous look that he had when he was with him. Instead, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and with an elusive smile, he stared at him with a half-smile and asked.

Qi Wang was a little confused by Leng Zexi's sudden seriousness, but he still answered honestly: "Yes. As the saying goes, 'A beautiful lady is a good match for a gentleman'!"

After saying this, he shook his hair in a self-important manner.

After hearing this, Bai Yu, who was standing aside, suddenly widened his eyes and thought to himself that something was wrong.

This guy actually said such words in front of Leng Zexi, he really is asking for his life!

So he hurriedly reached out to pull the corner of Qi Wang's clothes, and desperately winked at him, signaling him to shut up and not to implicate himself.

However, at this moment Qi Wang was completely immersed in feeling good about himself and did not notice Bai Yu's little movements at all.

He turned to look at Bai Yu with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Bai Yu, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you having a cramp?"

When Bai Yu heard this, he almost died of anger.

I thought this guy was not only stupid, but also had such a vicious mouth. But because Leng Zexi was right next to me, I couldn't get angry, so I could only grit my teeth and say, "You are the one who has cramps!"

At this time, Leng Zexi, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help it. He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked in a calm tone: "Qi Wang, tell me again, who do you want to chase after?"

Only then did Qi Wang realize that Leng Zexi seemed really angry, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

But he still said with gritted teeth: "It's the girl who just came in. She's pretty. I think she's pretty good. Is there...any problem?"

As he spoke, he carefully raised his eyes and observed Leng Zexi's expression.

When seeing Leng Zexi's face that was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out, Qi Wang suddenly had a bold and terrifying guess in his heart.

This thought shocked himself, but he couldn't help but want to confirm it.

So, he plucked up the courage to stammer, "Brother Leng...Brother Leng, that...could it be...that little girl is your...your mistress?"

"Oh my God! How is this possible? No, it's absolutely impossible! My dad clearly told me that you are married, and it is said that you have three sons! But now... you are cheating on me?"

Qi Wang widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and felt that the image of the tall and upright Leng Zexi in his mind collapsed in an instant.

You know, his father was full of praise when he talked about Leng Zexi to Qi Wang! He praised Leng Zexi for being the most family-oriented and loving to his wife, so their family has always been determined to cooperate with Leng Zexi.

What my father often said was: By cooperating with such people, you can not only make money steadily, but you can even make a lot of money!

He also kept repeating the phrase "A man who loves his wife will be successful", and his words were full of dissatisfaction with Qi Wang.

Because in his eyes, his youngest son Qi Wang was too promiscuous. He fell in love with everyone he met and had no stability at all.

He even threatened that if Qi Wang dared to mess around after getting married, he would break his legs with his own hands.

However, at this moment, the facts before him made Qi Wang feel extremely shocked.

Leng Zexi actually kept a woman outside without telling his family, and what was even more unexpected was that this woman actually lived in the same compound!

How could such a thing not make people dumbfounded? Just as Qi Wang was full of doubts, Xia Ruo'an came out with a bag in his hand.

Hearing the noise coming from this side, he asked curiously: "What happened? Are you talking about the mistress?"

At this moment, when Leng Zexi saw Xia Ruoan appear, his face, which had been as cold as a thousand-year-old ice, instantly blossomed with endless tenderness as if a spring breeze had passed by.

"You're back! How could your parents let you carry so many things here by yourself?" Xia Ruoan said in surprise. She hurriedly handed the bag of bright red tomatoes in her hand to Bai Yu.

Then he walked quickly towards Leng Zexi and offered to help carry the heavy-looking packages and gift boxes.

"Really, no need, Ruoan, I can carry it myself."

"These are all carefully prepared by my mother for my parents-in-law. She also specifically told us to thank them for their hard work in taking care of our three lovely babies this month."

Leng Zexi smiled and politely declined Xia Ruoan's kindness, while patiently explaining.

In fact, he had already prepared a lot of generous gifts in advance, but he never expected that his mother was so thoughtful and careful, and also prepared a considerable number of various gifts.

Qi Wang, who had been standing aside and witnessed the whole process, finally came to his senses. If he still couldn't figure out what the relationship between Leng Zexi and the family in front of him was, then he would be a complete fool!

He turned to look at Bai Yu in shock, his mouth wide open as if an egg could fit in it.

After a long while, he stammered and asked, "You...why didn't you tell me earlier that this is Brother Leng's home?"

"Oh no, to be exact, it should be your and your wife's home together! I always thought that Leng Zexi and his wife lived in the old house of the Leng family."

After saying this, Qi Wang couldn't help but reveal an expression that was both embarrassed and a little scared.
