Chapter 379

Leng Zexi looked at his watch and found that it was almost time to pick up the children from school, so he turned to Xia Ruoan and said, "Ruoan, let's go, it's time to pick up Suisui and the others."

Hearing this, Xia Ruoan responded softly: "Oh."

Then he slowly stood up and followed Leng Zexi to the door.

When the two of them walked to the entrance, Leng Zexi naturally squatted down and prepared to help Xia Ruoan change into the shoes she was going to wear when going out.

However, at this moment, Xia Ruoan suddenly retracted his foot.

Leng Zexi couldn't help but raise his head, looked at her with a puzzled look, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you not like this pair of shoes and want to change to another pair? Tell me, which pair do you like?"

Xia Ruoan silently stretched out her hand and gently stroked the thick gauze wrapped around her head. Although she couldn't see it with her own eyes, she knew very well how miserable she looked at the moment.

She really didn't want to appear in front of everyone with such a pitiful image, and she didn't want Sui Sui and the others to be looked at and questioned strangely because of her.

So, she said softly: "Well...I'd better wait for you to come back home."

Then he quickly added: "I'm really fine. I will sit on the sofa and wait for you and the children to come home. I will definitely not walk around."

After saying that, he made a serious promise to Leng Zexi.

Faced with Xia Ruoan's insistence, Leng Zexi did not compromise easily.

He stood up, looked gently at the fragile woman in front of him, and consoled her earnestly, "I hope you can go with me to pick them up. Suisui and the others must also want you to pick them up from school."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine, right? And I'll always be with you."

At this point, he paused, as if he had thought of something, and continued, "Your injury was caused by saving someone, so don't feel embarrassed. So you don't have to care about other people's opinions at all."

"Sui Sui and the others all know that you are going home from the hospital today. If you are unwilling to go with me to greet them now, they will probably feel extremely sad and upset."

Leng Zexi held her soft, boneless little hand tightly and spoke softly.

Then he added, "Before Ningning left this morning, she specifically told me to make sure you go with me to pick them up from school."

After saying that, Leng Zexi cleverly brought out Ningning's trump card.

After hearing this, Xia Ruo'an couldn't help biting her lip. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "Okay, then I'll go out with you."

Seeing this, Leng Zexi's eyebrows suddenly showed a smile of joy that was hard to conceal, and then he said gently: "Come, sit still and don't move, I will put on your shoes for you."

The shoes Xia Ruoan wears are all comfortable, casual flat-soled styles. There is no need for too many complicated steps, just put them on easily.

Fortunately, she usually doesn't like to wear high heels when going out, otherwise, with her delicate appearance, if she really stepped out of the house in high heels, it would be really worrying!

When the two arrived at their destination, the school bell rang.

Leng Zexi turned to look at Xia Ruoan beside him and said considerately: "Ruoan, you just wait in the car, I will go and bring the children here."

As he spoke, he did not unbuckle Xia Ruoan's seat belt. After all, there were so many people outside the car, what would happen if he accidentally bumped into her?

However, Xia Ruo'an shook his head and insisted, "Let me get off the bus with you. Otherwise, the children will be disappointed if they can't see me. I'm afraid they will show a look of grievance that makes people feel distressed."

"Are you sure you want to get off? There are a lot of people outside." Leng Zexi turned his head slightly, staring at her beside him with deep eyes, and asked softly.

His voice was low and magnetic, and seemed to carry a reassuring power.

Xia Ruoan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodded without hesitation, met Leng Zexi's gaze with a firm gaze, and replied: "Sure, if Suisui and the others only saw you and didn't see me getting out of the car to pick them up, they would be disappointed."

"Besides, I believe you will protect me from getting hit, right?" After saying that, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a trusting smile.

Leng Zexi looked at the strong and lovely woman in front of him, and a surge of tenderness surged in his heart.

He reached out his hand, gently stroked her delicate face, and said softly: "Well, I will protect you."

Then, he quickly unbuckled his seat belt, opened the car door, got out of the car carefully, turned around and put his hand on the door frame to prevent her from accidentally hitting her head when getting out of the car.

Xia Ruo'an slowly moved his body, one foot stepped on the ground first, and then the other foot followed. At this moment, there was a slight commotion around them, it turned out that everyone noticed their actions.

When everyone saw the bandaged wound on Xia Ruoan's head, they were all surprised at the same time, but because Leng Zexi was standing next to them, his strong aura made people dare not step forward to inquire about the situation.

However, a figure in the crowd walked over quickly. It was Wen Yi's mother.

She came to Xia Ruoan with a concerned look on her face and asked kindly, "Madam Leng, what happened to your injury? Is it serious?"

Xia Ruoan heard the voice, turned her head and looked in the direction of Mother Wen, and replied with a smile: "It's nothing serious, thank you for your concern."

Mother Wen looked at Xia Ruoan carefully, and suddenly noticed that her eyes seemed a little empty and lifeless, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "Madam Leng, what's wrong with your eyes?"

Xia Ruoan said calmly: "My blindness is just a temporary condition caused by a car accident two days ago, when I accidentally fell and injured my head."

Hearing this, Mother Wen couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands in shock, her face full of disbelief. She asked anxiously: "What? It turned out to be a car accident! Isn't that very serious?"

Xia Ruoan smiled and shook her head gently, saying in a soft and soothing voice, "Don't worry too much, Mother Wen."

"This is really just a minor accident. Although I can't see for the time being, it's not a big deal. As long as I rest for a while, my eyes will be back to normal soon."

Hearing this, Mother Wen's heart finally settled down a little. She let out a long sigh and murmured to herself, "So that's how it is. That's great... I hope you can get well soon."

At this moment, Mother Wen seemed to suddenly remember something, a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said to Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan in front of her: "By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you two."

"Tomorrow is Yi'er's birthday. I would like to invite your triplets to attend his birthday party. Is that convenient?"

After saying this, she looked at the two people in front of her expectantly, her eyes full of sincerity and friendliness.
