Chapter 289

Suisui and Niannian held hands and skipped along with Ningning as they walked towards the kindergarten.

The sunlight shines on them, reflecting three innocent and lovely smiling faces.

At the same time, Xia Ruoan also returned to campus with a brisk pace and re-engaged in studying with his tutor.

When she entered the classroom, she found that the teacher standing on the podium was still the amiable and knowledgeable figure she had been in the past, and the seniors around her were also familiar and kind.

Although she has been away for three years, she is not completely isolated from this place and still comes back to visit occasionally.

Therefore, there was no sense of strangeness between them, but instead they were filled with joy of reunion.

"Ruoan, welcome back!" As soon as everyone saw Xia Ruoan walk into the classroom, they greeted her enthusiastically and expressed their warm welcome.

However, at this moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "She is Xia Ruo'an. I think she is just a little prettier. Are you guys exaggerating so much?"

It turned out to be Wang Ling, who had just been admitted here from another school. Seeing how attentive everyone was to Xia Ruoan, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.

"Wang Ling, if you don't know how to speak, just shut up! Don't jump to conclusions before you understand the situation clearly!" After hearing what Wang Ling said, the classmates around her immediately turned their heads and glared at her with dissatisfaction and accused her.

After all, in their eyes, Xia Ruoan not only has outstanding looks, but also a gentle and kind personality, and her academic performance is extraordinary. She is truly worthy of everyone's love and respect.

Xia Ruoan had actually heard Wang Ling's cold words clearly.

But she didn't take it to heart and still walked towards her seat with a smile on her face, as if those negative comments could not affect her at all.

Because she knows very well that those who truly understand her will understand her value and she does not need to pay attention to the gossip of others.

Today is the day for everyone to report. Since Xia Ruoan does not live on campus, she naturally does not need to go through the tedious check-in procedures.

So she went straight to the laboratory, looking for Bai Shuang and others.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the journey, I ran into Qiao Xin and Zhao Han. From a distance, I saw the two of them arguing with each other, their faces red, and it was obvious that they had a dispute.

At this moment, Xia Ruoan was standing on a small bridge. Seeing this scene, he didn't know what to do for a moment and could only look at the two of them with great embarrassment.

I wondered to myself: Should I avoid it?

After some hesitation, he finally decided to turn around and go back to the bridge, leaning gently against a green willow tree, and looking into the pond under the bridge.

There was a group of colorful ornamental goldfish swimming in the pond, each of them was huge in size.

This is not surprising, because people from their department often bring fresh vegetables they grow here to feed these fish.

Over time, the fishes were well fed and grew bigger.

At this time, Qiao Xin could only hear him say anxiously: "Zhao Han, just agree to divorce Shangguan Lan!"

"Actually, you still have me deep in your heart, and Shangguan Lan has long since stopped loving you." After saying that, he stepped forward and pretended to hug Zhao Han.

However, Zhao Han quickly dodged to the side and cleverly avoided Qiao Xin's move.

Looking at his eyes again, they were filled with bright red bloodshot, which must be due to his extremely bad mood.

"Qiao Xin!" Zhao Han took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress all the emotions in his heart, but in the end he couldn't help but yelled

"The person I like now is Shangguan Lan, and I will never agree to a divorce! I no longer like you!"

When Zhao Han thought about the fact that his wife was now staying at the Liang family with their daughter, he was filled with regret and self-blame.

If time could go back to that moment at the airport, he would never choose to leave with Qiao Xin.

If he had stayed firmly at that time, the subsequent series of heartbreaking events would not have happened at all.

"I don't believe it!" Qiao Xin's eyes widened, tears welling up in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, "I absolutely don't believe that you really have no feelings for me anymore."

"Otherwise, last time... why didn't you push me away last time?" She bit her lips tightly, and her hands unconsciously clenched the corners of her clothes, as if she could grasp the only remaining glimmer of hope in this way.

However, when Zhao Han heard her mention this, the anger in his heart was instantly ignited.

His eyes widened with anger, he pointed at Qiao Xin and shouted, "Why didn't I push you away? Don't you know the reason?"

Qiao Xin was frightened by his sudden rage, her body trembled slightly, and tears finally burst out.

But she still shook her head stubbornly, muttering to herself: "I don't know, I don't know..."

Seeing the woman he once loved so deeply still stubbornly insisting on her way of love, Zhao Han felt both angry and amused.

He sneered and said mercilessly: "Qiao Xin, in fact, you have always only liked yourself."

"All you're after is the thrill of the chase and the pleasure of satisfying your vanity. Please, let me go, okay?"

At the end, Zhao Han's tone gradually softened, even with a hint of pleading: "Qiao Xin, please stop pestering me."

"The only thing I want to do now is to spend time with my wife and daughter and protect our family."

"So, please don't disturb our peaceful life anymore, okay?" After saying that, Zhao Han lowered his head weakly, and the whole person was like a deflated ball.

"It's not like that!" Qiao Xin shouted excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

"I know that you married Shangguan Lan purely out of the desire to create a good growth environment for Chang'an."

"Believe me, I will love and care for Chang'an as if she were my own daughter. You and I will definitely take good care of her."

At this point, Qiao Xin paused for a moment, took a deep breath and continued, "Besides, Shangguan Lan told me personally before that if her daughter's health condition could improve, you two would choose to divorce."

"Now you see, after such a long period of treatment and recuperation, Chang'an's body has almost recovered. He will definitely become healthier, more lively and lovely in the future."

Although her heart was filled with pain, Qiao Xin still tried hard not to let her tears fall, because she really didn't want to give up this relationship so easily.

Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Isn't it ironic?"

Hearing the voice, Xia Ruoan turned around suddenly and found that the person standing behind him was Bai Shuang.

For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed and had to force a smile.

It felt like I was secretly eavesdropping on someone else's conversation and was accidentally caught.

Bai Shuang slowly walked to Xia Ruo'an and sat down beside her, saying softly, "In fact, you may not know that not long after you and your husband left, Shangguan Lan and her daughter came here anxiously to take Zhao Han home."

"It's a pity that they came up empty-handed in the end."

"However, the others present did not intend to hide it from Shangguan Lan and directly told her that it was Qiao Xin who took Zhao Han away."

After saying these words, Bai Shuang sighed softly, seeming to feel helpless about the complicated and tangled situation before her.

"What's even more ironic is that shortly after that, the scene of Qiao Xin and Zhao Han hugging each other intimately was unexpectedly caught by Shangguan Lan and their daughter!"

"At that time, Qiao Xin and Zhao Han were seen kissing passionately, and it was Zhao Han who first opened his arms and hugged Qiao Xin tightly."

"However, what is unbelievable is that before this, Zhao Han had always vowed that the only person he loved in his heart was Shangguan Lan."

"Faced with this unbearable scene, Shangguan Lan was surprisingly calm, as if she was looking at two complete strangers instead of her once deeply loved husband and another woman."

The young Chang'an next to Shangguan Lan looked up and asked his mother with a confused look on his face: "Mom, why did Dad kiss Aunt Qiao?"

"Could it be that the person Dad likes is actually Aunt Qiao Xin?" Thinking back on it all, Bai Shuang couldn't help but feel it was ridiculous, but at the same time she felt deeply sad for Chang An.

When Xia Ruoan heard this, there was obvious shock in his eyes.

After all, Zhao Han is already married and has a family. His current two-timing behavior is really unacceptable and even makes people feel uncomfortable.

Then, Xia Ruoan speculated in a firm tone: "Then in the end, Shangguan Lan should have filed for a divorce, right?"

Because she had the honor of meeting Shangguan Lan once, she knew very well that Shangguan Lan was by no means the kind of weak and dependent woman who depended on men.

On the contrary, Shangguan Lan is a very rational and strong-willed woman.

Therefore, based on Xia Ruoan's understanding of Shangguan Lan's character, she absolutely did not think that Shangguan Lan could tolerate Zhao Han's such absurd behavior.

"When they asked me to contact my eldest brother to check on Chang'an's health, Shangguan Lan told me that her daughter's health had improved, and asked me to tell Qiao Xin that her daughter was better and would divorce Zhao Han."

"So the reason why Shangguan Lan and Zhao Han's marriage can still be maintained is because their daughter Chang'an is weak and they are worried that she can't bear the blow, so they don't divorce and maintain the apparent happiness."

Xia Ruoan looked at Bai Shuang and whispered.

Bai Shuang heard what Zhao Han said about not getting a divorce, and suddenly found it ridiculous.

"Before, I felt sorry for Zhao Han, who had been pursuing Qiao Xin's love but couldn't get it. Now, he can get it easily, but he doesn't care about it."

"Qiao Yu asked him to make a decision as soon as possible and not to hurt the two women because of him."

"Ruo'an, you didn't hear what Zhao Han said. I heard it, and I just felt sad, no matter if it was for Qiao Xin or Shangguan Lan."

"Zhao Han is actually comparing these two people. He said he won't divorce and that he likes Shangguan Lan, but he can't let go of Qiao Xin."
