Chapter 307

"Leng Zexi! I still stick to my idea. If one day you dare to let her get hurt in the slightest and make her sad, then I will never sit idly by and will take her away without hesitation!"

Zhang Kai stared at Leng Zexi firmly and spoke solemnly word by word.

Facing Zhang Kai's warning, Leng Zexi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile: "Then I still say this to you - you will never have such an opportunity!"

After saying this, he half-embraced Xia Ruoan in his arms gently but domineeringly, then turned and left without looking back.

Ning Ning, who was standing by, saw her father hugging her mother and walking away. She was anxious and hurriedly ran after them, shouting, "Dad! Mom! Wait for me!"

However, Leng Zexi seemed to have not heard Ningning's call at all. Instead, his steps became bigger and faster.

Seeing that she was getting farther and farther away from her parents, Ningning, who was extremely anxious, sat down on the ground and then fell straight to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of “Ahhhh” cries echoed all around.

"Mom... wuwuwu... I fell down! It hurts so much..."

Ningning rubbed her sore butt with her chubby little hands and stared at her parents' receding backs with tearful eyes, crying loudly at the top of her lungs.

Xia Ruoan, who was originally held tightly in Leng Zexi's arms, stopped instantly after hearing her son's cry and hurriedly turned back to check the situation.

When she saw Ningning sitting on the ground crying pitifully, her beautiful eyes were suddenly filled with endless worry and heartache.

Leng Zexi, who had been expressionless all this time, now had a barely perceptible flash of worry in his eyes.

But soon, he noticed that the bodyguard standing next to Ningning gently shook his head at him, indicating that the child was fine.

Seeing this scene, Leng Zexi couldn't help but feel angry and amused. This little devil was clearly pretending to be pitiful on purpose to attract everyone's attention!

"Ningning! I'll only give you three seconds, hurry up and stand up and catch up, otherwise, you'll have to wait at your uncle Ouyang's house!"

"He can't feel any pain at all." Leng Zexi stared at the little guy sitting on the ground, secretly angry in his heart. This brat actually dared to deceive him by pretending to be injured.

Seeing this, Xia Ruoan, who was standing by, hurried forward to help Ningning up, but was held back by Leng Zexi.

Leng Zexi snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry about him, that guy is just pretending. There are bodyguards around, how can he get hurt easily?"

Xia Ruoan looked at the bodyguards around him suspiciously, then looked at Ningning who was sitting on the ground with an innocent look on her face, and gently scolded: "Ningning, you can't be like this, mom and dad will be very angry."

"How can you joke about your own body? Have you forgotten what happened to the lying boy in the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'?"

Even so, Xia Ruo'an still felt sorry for the child. She turned her head to look at Leng Zexi and pleaded softly, "Hubby, why don't you just pick Ningning up?"

Faced with his wife's gentle gaze and request, Leng Zexi sighed helplessly. Although he was annoyed at his son's naughty behavior, since his wife had spoken, he had no choice but to do as she said.

So Leng Zexi walked up to Ningning, bent down, and picked up the little guy from the ground gently but majestically.

At the same time, he did not forget to warn the little rascal in his arms again: "If you dare to scare your mother again next time, I will really send you to your uncle Ouyang."

"When the time comes, he will discipline you well and will never let you get hurt!" After saying that, he held Ningning and quickly caught up with the team in front.

"I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I was wrong." Ningning blinked her big watery eyes and said softly with a guilt-filled look on her face.

He stretched out his two chubby little hands, pouted his lips and said coquettishly: "Mom, give me a hug~"

Hearing her youngest son's soft voice, Xia Ruoan's heart melted instantly, but she still endured the discomfort of her body and said to Ningning gently: "Ningning, be good, can you let daddy hug you? Mom's illness is not completely healed yet. If I hug you, you might pass the germs to you."

"Wait a moment, the bodyguard uncle will take you to your grandparents' house to play, and your parents will come to pick you up in a couple of days."

Ningning nodded sensibly, then turned to look at her father, her eyes full of anticipation.

At this moment, Ningning suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly reached into her small pocket to search.

After a while, he took out two beautifully packaged milk candies, held them high in front of Xia Ruoan, and said happily: "Mom, this is candy! If you eat it, you won't find the medicine bitter."

Ningning and her two brothers would have a certain amount of candy every day, and each could only eat three pieces.

Ningning has always been accustomed to eating one pill after getting up in the morning, one pill after lunch, and saving the last pill before brushing her teeth at night.

But today, in order to help his sick mother get better quickly, he took out his only two remaining candies without hesitation.

Looking at the innocent and lovely little son in front of him, Xia Ruoan was so moved that his eyes welled up with tears.

She gently touched Ningning's head and said softly, "Thank you, my dear Ningning, but Mommy is taking medicine now and can't eat candies. You should keep these candies for yourself, okay?"

"Can't I eat it?" Ningning looked at her father with some doubt, as if asking him to confirm whether what her mother said was true.

Dad nodded and comforted her, "Yes, Ningning, be obedient. Put the candy in your pocket first and eat it later."

Although Ningning felt a little disappointed, she still obediently put the candy back into her pocket.

Seeing that he cared about his mother, Leng Zexi said softly, "I will carefully prepare other delicious food for your mother."

After saying that, he gently touched the little guy's head.

Then, Leng Zexi warned again with a serious face: "Be good and obedient when you are over. Don't be naughty and bully your two brothers. Remember?"

Leng Zexi was seen holding the cute little one in his arms, while his other hand was tightly holding the beautiful Xia Ruoan beside him.

The little fellow blinked his big watery eyes, nodded obediently, and answered in a baby voice: "I know! My brothers can only be bullied by me, no one else can bully my brothers!"

Hearing this, Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan couldn't help but smile at each other, their hearts filled with love for the child's innocence.

Xia Ruo'an, who was standing by, shook her head in a doting and helpless manner, and said angrily, "You are such a little naughty boy. You only know how to bully your two brothers by relying on their love for you."

At this time, Zhang Kai, who had been standing by and silently watching this happy family of three, showed deep reluctance in his eyes.

He looked at their figures gradually walking away, feeling mixed emotions.

After a while, Zhang Kai turned around and murmured to his good friend Brother Hai, "Brother Hai, if I had been able to compete with Zhou Mufan openly and pursue Ruoan in a legitimate way, then she might have chosen to be with me."

"Is that so?"

Brother Hai patted Zhang Kai on the shoulder and consoled him, "Brother, it's over now, don't dwell on it anymore."

"In fact, Zhou Mufan had no intention of marrying Ruoan at that time. If you could wait patiently, maybe the result would be different.

"It's just a pity..." At this point, Brother Hai couldn't help but sigh.

Brother Hai continued, "Besides, you were so stupid back then that you deliberately hurt Ruo An just to get her attention."

"It's really stupid."

"If I treat her wholeheartedly from the beginning, even better than Zhou Mufan, will she resolutely choose to be with me?"

Zhang Kai couldn't help but think of Ningning, who looked extremely similar to Xia Ruoan, and he felt an indescribable melancholy and loss in his heart.

"If Ruo'an and I had been able to be together successfully, perhaps our child would be as big as Ningning that we just saw."

Zhang Kai could not suppress his inner longing and fantasy for a better future, as if those scenes that had never happened were vividly unfolding before his eyes.

However, Brother Hai at the side just shook his head helplessly, smiled bitterly and advised: "Zhang Kai, you should stop having such unrealistic daydreams!"

"There aren't so many 'what ifs' in this world. People are living happily and contentedly now, and you should learn to let go of the past."

"Isn't it enough for you to let go of your worries in these three years? Love is something that cannot be forced. You can only blame yourself for being too foolish and missing the opportunity."

Brother Hai looked at Zhang Kai with a hint of obvious disappointment in his eyes.

Facing his friend's advice, Zhang Kai not only did not show any sign of appreciation, but instead sneered and retorted: "How can I let go of what you said? Xia Ruo'an is the only woman I have ever truly loved in my life!"

Then, Zhang Kai seemed to be suddenly excited, "You don't understand how much she means to me!"

"If Xia Ruo'an hadn't shown up in time and given me help, I would have probably lost my life seven years ago!"

After saying this, Zhang Kai's eyes became extremely firm and deep, as if he was lost in those distant and unforgettable memories.

"What do you want to do? You know Leng Zexi's ability. He won't let you get close to Xia Ruoan." Brother Hai warned worriedly.
