Chapter 184
This time, Xia Ruoan looked around anxiously, but still couldn't see Zhao Han's familiar figure.
In desperation, she had to ask Bai Shuang to help send Qiao Xin home safely.
When Xia Ruoan returned to the room, his eyes fell on Ouyang who was gently comforting Zhou Ling'er.
I have to admit that Ouyang did a great job in handling emotional issues.
When faced with someone he doesn't like, he can reject them without hesitation and decisively, never giving the other person even the slightest hope.
However, Qiao Xin was obviously not willing to give up.
She always believed that as long as she persisted in her pursuit, she would be able to win Ouyang's heart one day.
But what is the reality? Love is something that cannot be forced. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it.
Sometimes, people's so-called persistence and hard work turn out to be nothing more than self-satisfaction.
Just then, Leng Zexi came over in a hurry.
Xia Ruoan felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and suddenly felt that what the people around her said were not wrong - she was indeed very lucky to have met such an outstanding and affectionate man like Leng Zexi.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruoan smiled and nodded gently to Ouyang, then turned around and left with Leng Zexi.
While walking on the road, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but say, "Just now, Senior Sister Qiao went to see Sister Ling'er and said some particularly excessive words."
"I was listening nearby at the time, and I couldn't help but wonder whether Senior Sister Qiao really liked Senior Brother Ouyang.
Or is it just out of some obsession, with the sole intention of taking him for yourself? "
"She said that since Sister Ling'er chose to leave, she shouldn't have the nerve to appear in front of Senior Brother Ouyang again!"
"And he also asked why Sister Ling'er didn't just die earlier!" After hearing these words, Xia Ruoan was really a little bit unbelievable. For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with Qiao Xin in front of him.
It seems that what Qiao Xin said does not make sense. After all, Sister Ling'er's current condition is really worrying.
Senior Brother Ouyang suffers a lot every day, and his painful appearance makes people feel distressed.
Xia Ruoan had witnessed Brother Ouyang crying quietly alone several times, and the pain and helplessness in his heart were beyond words.
But the bright future they were looking forward to was just an unattainable luxury for Sister Ling'er.
However, love is so cruel and realistic. Everyone knows that Senior Brother Ouyang is deeply in love with Zhou Ling'er. At the same time, he rejected Qiao Xin without hesitation.
Even though Qiao Xin waited and waited for seven years, Senior Brother Ouyang never gave her even the slightest chance.
"We can't do anything. Who told Ouyang to be so stubborn? He is obsessed with Zhou Ling'er alone. If he had been a little bit hesitant, Qiao Xin might not have wasted these seven years of precious youth." Leng Zexi saw this very clearly and spoke in a nonchalant manner.
"Let them deal with their emotional entanglement slowly. There is no need for us to worry too much about it."
"After all, we are all mature adults." Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan tenderly and comforted her softly. It was obvious that he did not want her to be troubled by these complicated emotional matters for too long.
"We can't easily deny their love for each other. Being able to be together is a rare fate. If they can't be together in the end, then we can only say that they are not destined to be together."
Leng Zexi looked at her firmly and said seriously, "Come on, I'll take you to see our wedding room now. I believe you will like it there!"
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an couldn't help but feel very surprised. She stared at Leng Zexi with wide eyes and asked doubtfully: "Aren't we going directly back to the old house?"
Leng Zexi shook his head gently and replied with a smile: "Of course not, I specially decorated that wedding room, it only belongs to our home."
“Also, although it’s not far from the old house, it’s different in terms of layout style and details.”
Xia Ruo'an frowned slightly after hearing this, and said with a little concern: "But the wedding banquet hasn't ended yet, it might not be appropriate for us to leave early like this, right?"
Leng Zexi quickly reached out and patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Don't worry, I have already discussed these things with my parents."
"They will be responsible for the subsequent reception of guests. As for the toasts, I have already gone through them before, so they fully understand and agree to let me come back and take good care of you."
Xia Ruo'an stared at Leng Zexi's face, which was slightly flushed due to drinking, and said softly with concern in his heart: "Well, I just heard Brother Ouyang mention that you were forced to drink a lot of wine today."
There was a table, a whole big round table, and the people sitting around it were all Xia Ruoan’s suitors!
Faced with so many competitors, Xia and his colleagues resolutely refused to allow Ouyang and others to help block the wine, which made Leng Zexi suffer.
Leng Zexi was alone facing eight opponents who were eyeing him covetously, but he showed no fear and resolutely started a fierce drinking contest with them.
After a round of drinking, Leng Zexi finally succeeded in getting all the other people drunk with his extraordinary alcohol tolerance and tenacious fighting spirit.
Although he was a little tipsy at this time, his face was still filled with a triumphant smile. He turned to look at Xia Ruo'an beside him and said with a slightly smug smile: "Nothing, those seniors in your department seem pretty good, but their alcohol tolerance is really not commendable."
After hearing Leng Zexi's words, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but feel angry and amused.
She shook her head gently and said coquettishly, "I know nothing about these so-called suitors. But I know very well in my heart that the only person who can stay by my side from now on will be you."
Just as the two were looking at each other lovingly, a shout was suddenly heard.
It turned out that Ouyang Lan had spotted Leng Zexi and waved at him from a distance, saying, "Zexi, come here quickly, someone is looking for you."
When Ouyang Lan approached, his eyes naturally fell on Xia Ruoan who was standing beside Leng Zexi.
He smiled and praised Xia Ruo'an: "Sister Ruo'an, you are so beautiful today!"
However, before Xia Ruo'an could respond, Leng Zexi immediately rolled his eyes at him and corrected him, "Don't call me that, call me sister-in-law!"
Seeing this, Ouyang Lan could only nod helplessly and responded, "Okay, okay, sister-in-law."
Then he couldn't help but muttered softly: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really an old cow eating young grass..."
Xia Ruo'an felt quite helpless when she heard this, but she still maintained her elegant demeanor and said gently to Leng Zexi, "In that case, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you in the lounge."
Leng Zexi gazed at her affectionately, nodded and replied: "Okay, I'll finish my work and come find you soon."
Only after seeing Xia Ruoan turn around and walk into the lounge did Leng Zexi feel at ease and follow Ouyang Lan away.
"Who is looking for me? Didn't I tell you before? I have to send Ruoan back to rest first. The rest of the things will depend on you to take care of them."
"Today's toasting session has come to a successful conclusion. What follows is nothing more than everyone eating, drinking, and talking about business together." I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
At this time, Ouyang Lan shook his head gently and replied: "I don't know much about this. But I heard that it was your friend abroad who came to see you, and she is said to be a super beautiful woman!"
"I saw her chatting with your mother. It seemed like they had a pretty good relationship. I guess this beautiful lady got to know you through your mother."
At this point, Ouyang Lan couldn't help but sigh and continued to complain: "You are such a bad guy! Ever since you got married and welcomed three babies at once, the old lady in my family has been urging me to get married and have children."
"I don't dare to go home easily now, for fear that as soon as I walk in the door, I will run into some young lady sitting at home waiting for me to go back for a blind date!"
After a pause, Ouyang Lan seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "Actually, I'm not the only one who is so miserable. All the unmarried guys in our circle of friends are now afraid to go home."
"Everyone is particularly worried about being pressured into marriage by their elders! Some people even joked that since you already have three lovely babies, why not consider giving two of them to them to raise."
"He even vowed that if he could really adopt a child, it would be no problem for him to give that child a portion of his fortune for his old age!"
After saying that, Ouyang Lan looked at me with curiosity, as if waiting for my response.
"You have the same idea, right?" Leng Zexi was stunned at first after hearing these words, and then he couldn't help laughing out of anger, thinking that this guy was really bold and whimsical!
Ouyang Lan, who was standing aside, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, blushed and softly admitted: "Well... Actually, I did think so before."
Then, Ouyang Lan looked at Leng Zexi expectantly and asked cautiously, "Are you willing? If you agree, I will be the children's godfather in the future! In this way, my family won't urge me to get married all day long."
After saying this, he even revealed a sly smile.
However, Leng Zexi refused without hesitation: "Don't even think about it! If you want a child, go find a suitable woman to marry and have children."
