Chapter 3

Xia Ruoan packed her things and put them in a box. Just as she was about to go out to find Nan Yi, she saw a call from Zhou Mufan.

He sneered, but still answered the call.

"Xia Ruoan, what are you making a fuss about? I was just too busy to meet your parents. You want to break up with me because of this. Don't regret it."

"If you take it back, I'll pretend you never brought it up, and we'll still be the same as before." Zhou Mufan said uncomfortably.

Xia Ruoan also found it ridiculous when he heard it.

"Zhou Mufan, we can't go back. From the moment you refused to meet my parents, we couldn't possibly be together. Let's part ways amicably. I'll have Nan Yi return your things to you. You can throw away the rest of the things I gave you, but give me back the Phalaenopsis."

"I'm serious, not joking." Xia Ruoan said bluntly.

"Just because I refused to meet your parents? Didn't I tell you that I had something to do at the company? I didn't mean to avoid meeting your parents."

"Stop making trouble. I will definitely visit my uncle and aunt next time, okay? Don't talk about breaking up anymore. I don't like it." Zhou Mufan said unhappily.

Xia Ruo'an sneered when he heard it, "There is no chance. You have no chance to see them again. You don't want to see them in your heart either."

"Zhou Mufan, I just realized now that you are so hypocritical. Do you think you are playing tricks on me?"

"I'll tell you the truth. I have one semester left before I graduate from my internship. This time I will agree to let your parents come and take you to meet them. It's a choice for them and for me: stay here or go back home."

"It's a pity that we are not destined to be together. I choose to go back to my hometown. From now on, you will be your eldest master and big boss, and I will go back to cultivate my one-third acre of land. I am just a farmer who works with farmland and grows vegetables. I am not worthy of you."

"I gave you a choice, but it was obvious, you know, but you still did it. Don't come to me again. I don't want to see you again. Liking you is the thing I regret most."

"An An, no, I didn't." When Zhou Mufan heard her say that, his heart tightened and he stood up excitedly.

"Ah, Mr. Zhou, your wine spilled all over me, how disgusting." A woman sitting next to Zhou Mufan shouted shyly.

When Xia Ruoan heard this, she laughed and tears flowed uncontrollably. What was she still expecting? There was really nothing to look forward to.

"Mr. Zhou, I hope you have fun. From now on, we will go our separate ways." Xia Ruoan wiped away her tears and blocked all contacts about Zhou Mufan on her phone.

"An An, An An." Zhou Mufan suddenly felt a little panicked, as if he was about to lose something.

When Zhou Mufan looked at the hung-up call and called again, he heard, "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please call again later."

Zhou Mufan tried to make a voice call on WeChat, but it didn’t go through. It showed that the other party had not added him as a friend, so was he blocked?

Zhang Kai was drinking with a woman in his arms. He looked confused and thought about what happened today. He joked, "Mu Fan, Xia Ruo'an is not making trouble with you because you broke your promise today. Is she saying that you want to break up? I said, your gentleness and quietness are just an act."

"You are almost ready to dump her now. However, your decision not to meet her parents today is very clear. You have no intention of having a future with her. I tell you, she just wants you to compromise. Then she can propose to you to get engaged and get married."

"Listen to me, don't worry about it. She will come to you in a few days. Or you can just agree to break up with her. You will dump her in a few days anyway." Zhang Kai advised him.

"Really, I have experience in this matter. In the end, she will definitely come to you to beg for reconciliation. How could she be willing to give up a rich man like you?" Zhang Kai was accustomed to this.

"If you compromise this time, she will think you are easy to control. Don't worry about it. Come, let's continue drinking." Zhang Kai pulled her to sit down. In his heart, he didn't take Xia Ruoan seriously at all.

How could Zhou Mufan marry Xia Ruoan, who came from an ordinary family? That was impossible, and Zhou Mufan liked Xu Lan.

Zhang Kai looked at the depressed Zhou Mufan, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He also had his own selfish desires, so he could only feel sorry for his brother Zhou Mufan.

The woman next to Zhang Kai was about to lean over to kiss him, but Zhang Kai dodged and looked at her with disgust.

The woman also noticed it and stepped back awkwardly.

On the other side, Xu Nanyiyi, who received the message from Xia Ruoan, also asked Liang Zian to take her to school.

Xia Ruoan looked at her a little embarrassedly, "Why didn't you tell me you weren't in school? Then I wouldn't have bothered you to make another trip."

"It's okay. I just came back from a midnight snack. What do you want to talk to me about? It was quite noisy just now and I didn't hear clearly. I also packed a portion for you. It's all the slightly spicy food you like." Xu Nan took it from Liang Zian and handed it to Xia Ruoan.

"Ruoan, what happened?" After all, they have been good friends for so many years, and Xu Nanyi could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Xia Ruoan.

Xia Ruoan shook her head. "Well, I want you to help me return some things to Zhou Mufan. I broke up with him, and I mainly want you to help me return them. I want you to be a witness that the things are returned and I didn't take advantage of him. Also, I have blocked him. Please tell him to return the Phalaenopsis to me, and then you can help me get it back."

Xu Nanyi took the box from her and looked at Xia Ruoan in disbelief. "An'an, what's going on? Didn't you meet your parents today? Are your parents dissatisfied with Zhou Mufan?"

At the beginning, Xu Nanyiyi was not happy about Zhou Mufan pursuing her good friend An An. After all, Zhou Mufan had been quite playful before and changed girlfriends very frequently, with few lasting more than three months.

Later, because of a heroic act to save a beauty, he relied on An An for saving his life. Perhaps it was the comparison between the previous times, it seemed that he really liked An An, and because Zhou Mufan was his cousin, thinking that it was good for him, Xu Nanyi no longer tried to stop them from being together.

But why did they break up for no reason? My cousin has been in charge of the company for a year now. He seems to be relatively mature and should be a good candidate for son-in-law.

"Or maybe your family thinks that my cousin's family background will make things difficult for you. It's okay. As long as my cousin is willing, he only has you in his heart. My aunt and the others will know how good you are after spending more time with you."

Xu Nanyiyi still didn't want them to separate like this, and An An had said before that she wanted to go back to her parents, so they must not be separated.
