Chapter 40

"Who was that lady just now? She looked so beautiful." Xia Ruoan said as she winked at Leng Zexi.

Leng Zexi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded, and said in agreement: "Well, it is indeed very beautiful."

Seeing Leng Zexi admit it so bluntly, Xia Ruoan was stunned, and an inexplicable tension surged in her heart. She bit her lip and asked cautiously: "Then... is she really not the person you like?"

Leng Zexi saw Xia Ruoan suddenly stop and turned around. Seeing her face full of worry and confusion, he couldn't help feeling a little funny.

He chuckled softly, reached out his hand and gently rubbed Xia Ruo'an's hair, and comforted her: "Don't let your imagination run wild, but she is indeed someone I like. She is my mother, and your future mother-in-law."

"She came to see you today, and she also wanted to see what her future daughter-in-law looks like. So, do you want to meet her now? Don't worry, I will take you home tomorrow so that you can get to know her well."

When Xia Ruoan heard this, he suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were too ridiculous.

She smiled awkwardly and quickly explained: "So she is my aunt! I was wondering why she looked so familiar, it turns out it's because she looks a bit like you. But she is really beautiful and looks very young."

Leng Zexi smiled and nodded, adding: "Yes, my mother is already fifty years old, but she has taken good care of herself, so she looks younger."

"Last time we met, she said she had white hair. In fact, it was because I pissed her off. This time I finally brought you, my daughter-in-law, home. Maybe if she's so happy, she'll even look ten years younger." After saying that, Leng Zexi patted Xia Ruoan's shoulder gently, encouraging her to relax.

"Why didn't you tell me that it was your aunt? I didn't even go up to say hello. I hope she's not angry with me." Xia Ruoan asked worriedly.

Leng Zexi quickly replied, "She wasn't angry. She just scolded me severely and hit me a few times because I took advantage of you after you were drugged. But she told me to treat you well in the future and let the past go and not worry about it anymore."

As Leng Zexi spoke, he gently stroked Xia Ruoan's head, trying to comfort her.

Xia Ruoan never expected that his aunt would come to say this to him, and he couldn't help but feel touched.

"Auntie is really nice!" she said with emotion. Just through these few words, she could feel the auntie's kindness, reason and tolerance.

"Don't worry, my family will like you, don't worry too much." Leng Zexi comforted gently.

Today is not a special day, so not many people came to get their certificates, and it was soon their turn.

Xia Ruoan took the marriage certificate and looked at the two people in the photo. Thinking of what her elder sister had just said about the couple's resemblance, she really couldn't tell. The only thing in common was that they both had fair skin. She thought that the child born would probably be fair and tender as well.

Leng Zexi looked at the marriage certificate in his hand with a slight smile on his face. If he wasn't worried about posting it on WeChat Moments and being seen by An An's brothers, he would have wanted to show off.

However, I still sent the photos to my family group, as well as the physical examination report and the child's condition that I promised my mother to send.

"I'll keep the marriage certificate." Leng Zexi put the marriage certificate in his pocket and said to Xia Ruoan.

Xia Ruoan didn't know where to put it for a moment, so he agreed.

Leng Zexi planned to keep it in the safe. It was more valuable to him than any certificate. It was the identity that allowed him to stand beside Xia Ruoan and protect her with justification.

"Should we go back to your apartment now, or go to the school to move your things for you?" Since she is pregnant, it is more convenient and safer for her to live at home. He can still watch over her and accompany her at home. If she lives in school, he won't be able to watch over her all the time.

Xia Ruoan looked at the time and thought for a while, "Let's go to school to move my things first. I still have to go through the procedures for checking out of the dormitory, and I also have to tell Professor Wen that I can't study for a doctorate this year."

"Teacher Wen wants me to pursue a Ph.D., and I had planned to go back to the county. But now that I've gotten the marriage certificate with you, I really have no choice but to stay here." Xia Ruoan looked at Leng Zexi and said.

"Do you want to go back to your parents?" Leng Zexi looked at her and asked.

"Grandpa Wen is there. I want to go there to grow tomatoes. He has a tomato growing base there, and I have always wanted to go there." Xia Ruoan really wanted to go.

Leng Zexi heard that it was mainly the tomato base.

"Don't feel sorry, I will give you better." Leng Zexi said as he rubbed her hair.

Xia Ruoan looked at him in confusion. What did he mean?

"Let's go. I'll take you back to school to handle the formalities and tell your teacher that you can continue your studies." Leng Zexi supported whatever she wanted to do as long as it didn't involve leaving him.

The teacher has gone home to rest, so I can only go to the dormitory to pack up first.

Leng Zexi sent someone to the dormitory building and said, "Can I go up and help you clean up? I don't trust you to clean up by yourself."

"Sure. I also need your help moving things. I live in the dormitory by myself. Don't be disgusted by the mess when you see it. I haven't cleaned it up yet. And I've been away for two months. Although the doors and windows are closed, there must be dust." Xia Ruoan looked at him and said.

"It's okay, I'll clean it up." Leng Zexi smiled gently.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Xia Ruoan was very grateful that he could help her clean up, because what she feared most was being away from the dormitory for a long time, and it would take half a day to clean the dormitory as soon as she arrived.

"You're welcome." Leng Zexi parked the car, opened the door and let her get out, putting his hand on her head to protect her.

The person in another parked car saw Xia Ruoan, opened the door and got out, "Xia Ruoan."

Xia Ruoan was stunned for a moment when he heard the familiar voice, but he didn't turn around. He took a deep breath, looked up at Leng Zexi and smiled, "Let's go up."

"Okay." Leng Zexi did not miss Xia Ruoan's surprise. He felt nervous for a moment. After all, they had been together for three years.

Zhou Mufan was even more annoyed when he saw that there was another man next to Xia Ruoan.

"Xia Ruoan, stop right there." Zhou Mufan didn't expect that she would ignore him and leave.

"Xia Ruoan, I haven't agreed to break up. We haven't broken up yet. What do you mean by flirting with other men? Come here." Zhou Mufan refused to admit that it was his self-esteem that was getting in the way.

He really broke up with Xia Ruoan. Xia Ruoan was his property and he would not allow anyone else to touch her.

Xia Ruoan found it ridiculous.
