Chapter 41

"Xia Ruoan, I'm asking you a question!" Zhou Mufan walked over quickly and stood in front of the two of them, blocking their way.

He looked carefully and found that the man next to Xia Ruoan was Leng Zexi. He was stunned: "Leng Zexi, how could it be you?" He stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Xia Ruoan was just an ordinary girl from a small county town. How could she possibly get to know Leng Zexi, the heir of the Leng family? The possibility was extremely small.

The only reason he and Xia Ruoan had any connection was because they were in the relatively equal environment of campus, but Leng Zexi had already left school and entered society. Given their identities and status, they should not have any connection at all.

"Why can't it be me?" Leng Zexi held Xia Ruoan's hand tightly and looked at Zhou Mufan firmly.

There was an unquestionable majesty in his tone.

"Mr. Zhou, if you have nothing else, please make way."

However, Zhou Mufan did not move aside as he requested, but stared at their clasped hands, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"Ruo'an, come here. I didn't agree to break up. We haven't broken up yet. I am the one who is qualified to stand beside you and hold your hand." Zhou Mufan said as he tried to pull her. Xia Ruo'an avoided him.

"You're wrong. I've already said we're breaking up. We're just boyfriend and girlfriend, not husband and wife. I still need your consent." Xia Ruo'an said as he looked at Leng Zexi beside him. "And if we talk about someone who is qualified to stand by my side, he's more suitable than you."

"Let me introduce you to my husband, Leng Zexi, the father of my child." Xia Ruoan no longer gave Zhou Mufan any expectations.

Zhou Mufan looked at them in disbelief.

"This is impossible." Zhou Mufan shook his head, not daring to believe what Xia Ruoan said. How could they possibly get married?

"Ruo'an, don't joke, how is this possible?" Zhou Mufan sneered, "Do you know who Leng Zexi is? How could he marry you?"

"Of course I know." Xia Ruoan said calmly, "We have already obtained the marriage certificate. We are a legal couple."

"Impossible!" Zhou Mufan shouted excitedly, "When did you two meet? Why didn't I know?"

"That's because our business has nothing to do with you." Xia Ruoan looked at him coldly, "Now please leave and don't bother us anymore."

"No, I don't believe it!" Zhou Mufan said he didn't believe that they had obtained the marriage certificate.

"Enough!" Leng Zexi finally spoke in a cold voice, "Mr. Zhou, please respect yourself and don't talk nonsense here. Ruoan is my wife, I love her and will protect her. If you continue to pester me, I don't mind taking legal action."

"Ruoan, stop making trouble. I'm already very tired." Zhou Mufan's voice was full of fatigue and helplessness.

In fact, he was not lying. The company had recently encountered a series of major problems, and many important partners had terminated their cooperation.

It seems that this situation has started to happen since Ruoan proposed breaking up. Some collaborations that were under negotiation were suddenly terminated, and the other party expressed that they no longer had the intention to cooperate.

Zhou Mufan has been working hard to solve these problems, but progress has been slow. When he learned that Xia Ruoan had left and went out with the team, he felt very confused and lost.

However, he did not give up his determination to find her and kept sending people to keep track of her whereabouts. Finally, someone told him today that Xia Ruoan was back, so he immediately rushed to see her.

However, he never expected that Xia Ruo'an would be with another man, and this man was Leng Zexi. He could not accept this fact because he knew how deep his feelings for Xia Ruo'an were.

"I'm not making a fuss. Brother Leng and I got the marriage certificate today." Xia Ruoan said bluntly, his tone firm and calm.

"Impossible!" Zhou Mufan's eyes widened, looking at her in disbelief. "Who are you, and who is Leng Zexi? How could he possibly get married with you?"

His heart was filled with doubts and confusion, and he felt that all this was so unreal.

Leng Zexi took out the marriage certificate from his pocket slowly, opened it gently and showed it to Zhou Mufan.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly with a hint of smug smile: "Do you believe it now?" Zhou Mufan stared blankly at the marriage certificate in front of him, with Xia Ruoan and Leng Zexi's names clearly printed on it, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his heart.

His face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled, but he couldn't speak.

Zhou Mufan took a step back in disbelief, his voice trembling: "Impossible, it can't be true, this can't be true! How could you really marry her? Your family would never agree to it!"

When Leng Zexi heard this, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, and his tone was cold: "I'm afraid you will be disappointed. My family has agreed to our marriage certificate, and my family's household registration booklet was delivered by my mother herself."

"How could this happen? Why would your mother let you marry Ruoan? Don't they know Ruoan's background?" Zhou Mufan widened his eyes and asked Leng Zexi.

He knew very well that his mother had always been prejudiced against Ruoan's background and believed that she was not worthy of entering the Zhou family.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder why Leng's mother made such a decision.

When Xia Ruo'an heard this, she felt bitter. So they looked down on her background so much, so why did they come here? Her eyes dimmed and tears welled up in her eyes.

Leng Zexi noticed Xia Ruoan's mood changes. He hugged her shoulders lovingly, his eyes firm and gentle.

He turned to look at Zhou Mufan, his voice low but powerful: "Background? I know, but I think my family is too high for Ruo An."

Xia Ruoan looked up in surprise and looked at Leng Zexi, her eyes full of shock and emotion. She had never thought that he would stand by her so firmly, ignoring the opinions and doubts of others.

Leng Zexi saw Ruoan's unbelievable look and smiled, "It's true. Your family is a scholarly family, and mine is in business. I didn't marry you because I was marrying up."

"I'm worried that your parents won't agree with you being with me. Not only me, but my family is also worried about whether I can get your parents' approval. But I will try my best to get their approval and prove it with the rest of my life." Leng Zexi said seriously.

Xia Ruoan didn't expect him to say that. Compared to his respect for his own parents, it was obvious when she thought about Zhou Mufan repeatedly refusing to meet her parents.

Even if Leng Zexi was doing it out of responsibility, he valued himself and his family much more than Zhou Mufan did.

"Zhou Mufan, is this interesting? Until now, you still think that my status is low and I am not worthy of your Zhou family. Why are you still here?" Xia Ruoan laughed at himself.
