Chapter 286
Ningning widened her eyes and pulled at her clothes in disbelief, as if they were something terrible.
He cried to his mother, "Mom, did Dad order the wrong clothes for me? They are too big!"
I could see tears welling up in my eyes and about to roll down.
Xia Ruoan hurried forward to check the size of the clothes. When she saw the big "L" marked on it, she couldn't help but frown, looking helpless.
Turning to his son, he said, "Ningning, it is true that your father ordered a large size for you, while Suisui and Nian Nian both ordered medium sizes."
At this time, Suisui, who was standing by, stretched out her little hand with a smile, gently patted Ningning's round belly, and playfully joked, "Haha, Ningning, you've gained weight again!"
Hearing this, Ningning pouted and looked at Xia Ruo'an aggrievedly. Tears finally burst out of her eyes: "Mom, what should I do now?"
"I'm going to kindergarten the day after tomorrow, but right now I don't even have a piece of clothing that fits me... wuwuwu..."
Xia Ruo'an hugged Ningning in her arms with a distressed look, and comforted her softly, "Ningning, don't cry, don't cry. How about mommy take you to find your dad and ask him first? Maybe there is a way to solve it."
In fact, even Xia Ruoan himself was unsure.
Because all matters concerning the children's kindergarten had always been handled by her husband Leng Zexi, she knew nothing about it.
At the same time, on the other side of the room, Leng Zexi was sitting leisurely opposite his good friend Bai Yao.
There was a set of exquisite tea sets in front of the two of them. They were brewing tea and sipping the fragrant tea with great interest, looking very comfortable.
"What exactly are you going to do with that piece of land? Let's discuss it in a different way. You can set any conditions you want!"
Bai Yao went straight to the point and asked directly.
Leng Zexi smiled and answered without hesitation: "I want to build an exclusive playground for Suisui and his two brothers."
Hearing this answer, Bai Yao couldn't help but say, "So that's how it is! How about this, I transfer the ownership of my large-scale amusement park to you?"
"Not only all the rides, but also the original staff will be transferred to you."
Bai Yao thought that the plan he proposed was definitely much more cost-effective than Leng Zexi's wish for a piece of vacant land.
However, Leng Zexi just raised his eyebrows slightly, and then slowly placed a cup of freshly brewed tea in front of Bai Yao.
He seemed a little surprised by such a generous offer, but responded calmly: "You will lose a lot if you do this."
Bai Yao waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "No, no, I have already planned to buy the entire area behind the mountain and develop it into a farm stay."
"When the time comes, I'll have to trouble my sister-in-law to come over and give us some professional advice on crop planting."
"Anyway, I have so many playgrounds at home. Giving one away won't have any impact on me at all. It won't shake my foundation."
After saying that, Bai Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip, as if he had seen a bright future for development.
He is now focusing his attention on other specific groups because he knows that if he can successfully develop a market targeting these people, the number of people visiting the farm stays will inevitably increase significantly.
At this time, Bai Yao looked at him with a smile, and said half-jokingly: "If you feel embarrassed, can you give me a fixed quota for buying wheat vegetables like you did for the Lu family?"
However, Leng Zexi did not agree immediately. Instead, he thought for a moment and responded, "I must ask Ruo'an's opinion on this matter first. After all, this vegetable garden belongs to her."
Hearing this, Bai Yao couldn't help but laugh out loud, and joked: "I didn't expect that you value your sister-in-law so much that you even have to ask for her consent in advance for such a small matter. Now the outside world is saying that you are afraid of your wife!"
Facing his friend's teasing, Leng Zexi refuted with a serious face: "This is not out of fear, but out of love."
When talking about his wife, Leng Zexi's eyes were filled with tenderness and doting.
Bai Yao couldn't help but feel a little envious when he saw this scene. He said with emotion: "Among our group of friends, you are the first to get married. Now you have three sons in one pregnancy. You have three lovely children."
"Everyone is extremely envious of you! What's even more precious is that the person you marry happens to be the one you love."
Leng Zexi nodded slightly to show his agreement, "I only wish to marry the woman I love in this life. If it weren't for Ruo'an, I would never have thought of starting a family."
After saying this, his eyes were firm and persistent, as if the beloved in front of him was the only one in the whole world who could enter his heart.
"The fate between Ruoan and I can be said to have been arranged by God a long time ago!"
"A long time ago, my parents and my father-in-law and mother-in-law met when they were still young, and they had already arranged this marriage for us."
Leng Zexi recalled the past with a happy face.
"Later, I learned about Ruoan's existence through my good friend Lin Cai."
"Until I met her in person. As I got in touch with her more and more, my understanding of her gradually deepened. Before I knew it, I fell deeply in love with this childhood sweetheart." Leng Zexi's eyes became exceptionally gentle.
"In fact, my decision to return to China was not a coincidence, but a deliberate one."
"Ever since I found out she had been hurt, I've been very worried. How can I leave her to someone else to take care of her?"
"Only if I protect her personally can I feel at ease." Having said that, Leng Zexi unconsciously clenched the teacup, as if declaring his determination to the world.
Bai Yao, who had been listening quietly, couldn't help but think of his own affairs when he heard this. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke.
"My parents introduced me to a date a year ago. She was quite good in terms of family background and personality. We even had an engagement date almost set."
Leng Zexi nodded, showing his understanding: "Yes, you are not young anymore, it is indeed time for you to start a family."
"And I remember when your mother came to chat with my mother, at least eight out of ten sentences she said were urging you to get married quickly."
However, Bai Yao quickly waved his hand and explained: "That's not the case. Don't jump to conclusions."
"Although the blind date was pretty good in every way, and we seemed to get along very well, and were even close to getting engaged, I recently met another girl in the company."
"She is a new employee of our company..."
"Although I'm already in a relationship, for some reason I always feel that she is more suitable for me lately."
"This person seems to understand my innermost thoughts and feelings better than my current partner, and is extremely passionate about me."
"Every time I'm with her, the pleasure I feel far exceeds what I experienced with my current partner."
"Because of this, my once resolute heart began to waver."
Bai Yao looked at the person in front of him with a worried look on his face, and asked softly, "Please help me analyze this carefully. In your opinion, who should I spend the rest of my life with, and who should I marry?"
"Who do you think I like and who is more suitable for me?" Bai Yao looked at him and asked.
Hearing this, Leng Zexi couldn't help but sneer.
He said in a slightly mocking tone: "I'm telling you, you're just blindly pursuing the so-called novelty and the intense excitement it brings!"
"It's like being in a large garden full of flowers. If you look around and pick and choose, you will naturally find a flower that is more beautiful than another."
"However, with your fickleness, do you still think you have the capital to settle down and enjoy a truly happy life?"
"As for your previous object, Midori, where is she placed?"
"Since you didn't consider her as your only partner from the beginning, why did you waste her youth?"
At this point, Leng Zexi paused for a moment, then continued in a more serious tone: "To be honest, you shouldn't have easily established a romantic relationship with her in the first place."
"If you truly love her, how could you bear to compare her with other opposite sex?"
"Not to the point where her position in your heart becomes so precarious or even shaken in the slightest."
Leng Zexi slowly turned his gaze to his friend beside him, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions, and he said softly: "I dare not assert that I will never meet someone who is more suitable for me in the future."
"But for me at this moment, Juan is the only choice in my life."
Bai Yao, who was standing aside and listening quietly, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard these words, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
After a moment, Leng Zexi took a deep breath and responded, "Loving someone is like carefully nurturing a beautiful flower. If you have not given your love and care wholeheartedly, how can you expect the other person to be able to fully meet your wishes?"
When Leng Zexi heard this, a look of doubt instantly appeared on his face, and he asked, "What exactly do you mean by this?"
Bai Yao shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Can't you hear it? To be honest, from the perspective of an outsider, your behavior is really a bit of a scumbag!"
"You just had a crush on your previous girlfriend, but you didn't have to be with her. Your subsequent affection is just a novelty. You should make sure of your feelings first."
"As for love matters, I can't make any decisions for you. That's the person you're going to live with, so you make your own choice." Leng Zexi had no intention of interfering.
