Chapter 191
However, before she finished her words, Leng Zexi couldn't help but chuckle at her cute nervous look.
Then, he slowly lowered his head and gently kissed Xia Ruo'an's rosy little face, and said in a magnetic voice: "Of course I believe you, and I also have full confidence in the relationship between us."
After saying that, Leng Zexi gently took Xia Ruo'an's hand and said softly, "Let's go, we should pack up. I'll take you back to the old house. Mom has specially prepared your favorite delicious dishes for you."
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan nodded obediently like a docile little lamb and said, "Okay." Then she turned and walked towards the room, preparing to change into appropriate clothes.
Leng Zexi stayed where he was, his eyes casually sweeping over the many unopened packages placed nearby.
Suddenly, a thought came to my mind - could there be another guy like Zhang Kai emerging here?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frowned, but quickly shook his head and thought to himself: Forget it, out of sight, out of mind, so don't look for trouble.
Anyway, I plan to take Xia Ruo'an back to their original residence tomorrow. As for these packages, I will say hello to Ruo'an later and ask someone to come over to help open and check them.
He had to check carefully to see if there were any love letters or anything like that, and then hand it over to Ruoan to deal with after making sure there was no problem.
As for those letters and gifts that expressed his love for Xia Ruoan, Leng Zexi chose to send them all back without hesitation.
On the way to return the items, Leng Zexi explained his plan in detail to Xia Ruoan beside him.
"There are still some gifts left that have not been opened. I will help you open them one by one later, and then organize them carefully and put them away properly." Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan gently, his tone firm and caring.
Then he continued, "For people like Zhang Kai who send gifts, I will try to find someone to get their contact information, and then return the gifts intact."
When he said this, Leng Zexi's eyes became extremely serious, as if this matter did not allow any room for negotiation.
Hearing Leng Zexi's words, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but turn around, staring at him with a smile, and teased softly: "Are you jealous?"
Facing Xia Ruoan's teasing, Leng Zexi did not hide his inner feelings at all, and nodded frankly and replied: "Yes, that's right, I am jealous."
At this moment, he did not feel embarrassed to admit that he was jealous, because this jealousy came from his sincere and deep love for Xia Ruoan.
Seeing Leng Zexi's straightforward response, Xia Ruoan felt an indescribable sense of warmth and security in his heart.
She lowered her eyes slightly and said softly: "To be honest, ever since I've been with you, I often have a feeling that it's not real."
"It seems that the beauty between us is like a dream, which makes me always worry that it will suddenly disappear... But now, hearing that you are so resolute in dealing with these things, I feel much more at ease."
After saying that, Xia Ruoan raised her head again, and where their eyes met was filled with deep affection and attachment to each other.
Xia Ruoan's eyes fell on him gently, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if she was lost in memories of the past.
"I still remember the first time we met. The moment you stepped into my house, my world seemed to light up."
"You stood there, like someone who walked out of an ancient poem, 'The man on the street is as beautiful as jade, and the young man is unparalleled in the world', and this is true. Your appearance still stirs up ripples in my heart, and the beauty of that unexpected encounter is still unforgettable."
She smiled gently, with a mischievous light in her eyes. "What I never expected was that this thread of fate would quietly connect you and me tightly, until now, we are hand in hand. At that time, I secretly looked at you carefully in my heart, afraid to miss the slightest detail."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi smiled faintly, with some warmth and memories in his eyes.
"Actually, I noticed that too." He said softly, his thoughts drifting back to the scene of their first meeting. At that time, Xia Ruoan was also a rare scenery in his eyes, causing unprecedented waves in his heart.
At that moment, when I first saw you, a thought came to my mind: You are even more fascinating than what my third brother described. "
"I remember he once mentioned that even when the most beautiful girl in the department pursued him, he never wavered and rejected her affection without hesitation."
"Whenever others curiously asked him about it, he would just smile and say that your appearance is better than anyone else's. At the time, these words sounded like a fairy tale and no one believed them."
"However, Third Brother cherishes you so much that he keeps you secret from everyone. He won't even show a photo of you to us brothers."
“If I hadn’t happened to travel with him on a research mission, I might never have witnessed the truth of his words.”
"At that moment, it dawned on me that Third Brother's vision is indeed unique. Your beauty is indeed extraordinary and unforgettable at first sight." Leng Zexi's gaze fell gently on Chong'er, full of affection and determination.
Xia Ruoan widened his eyes and looked at Leng Zexi in disbelief, with a hint of surprise and joking in his voice: "At that time? Are you sure you are not kidding? I was just a sophomore in high school at that time."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi's lips curled up into a faint smile, and a glimmer of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, as if he was carefully examining the budding emotions of the past.
"Indeed, I was attracted by your youthful appearance at first, which was a bit superficial. But at that time, I really regarded you as a younger sister who needed to be cared for. I wanted to witness your growth in my heart, like nurturing a budding flower, waiting for time to carve it."
He paused, his eyes becoming firm and gentle, "It wasn't until you were eighteen years old, when I personally delivered the gift to you at the request of your third brother, that my feelings quietly changed."
"At that moment, I secretly decided that I would wait until you passed the postgraduate entrance examination and stood at a new starting point in life before I revealed my feelings to you and officially began pursuing you."
"It's unexpected that someone else would snatch you away so quickly! Just like that, we wasted three whole years for nothing! Those three beautiful years that should have belonged to us dating were snatched away by someone else."
As Leng Zexi spoke, there was still a hint of regret in his eyes.
Xia Ruoan gently held his hand back and comforted him softly: "Don't worry too much, we will have many more three years in the future."
"It's not bad now, actually. We just got the marriage certificate and became husband and wife. If you still long for that feeling of love, then we can spend the rest of our lives as a romantic relationship."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi nodded repeatedly to show his agreement and said, "Okay, everything is up to you. In this way, we can be considered to be getting married first and then dating, and our marriage relationship is protected by law. We don't have to worry about the trouble of breaking up anymore."
At this moment, Leng Zexi stared at the little hand he was holding tightly in his hand, and suddenly a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart, as if he had nothing more to ask for in this life.
He secretly vowed to make up for the regrets he once had to Xia Ruoan bit by bit.
At this moment, Lu Qin showed amazing efficiency and successfully found the case information of that year not long after.
It turned out that Zhou Mufan was in charge of following up on this case at the time, but it seemed to contain some important information that even Xia Ruoan himself did not know...
Since no harm was caused to Xia Ruoan, Zhou Mufan and those gangsters could be said to be both losers. Zhou Mufan directly asked a lawyer to handle it. Since it was not a big deal, both parties signed a letter of understanding and it was over.
After reading it, Leng Zexi frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Zhang Kai was involved.
"Ruoan, as you said, regarding the time when you were rescued by Zhou Mufan, was it Zhou Mufan who handled all the follow-up?" Leng Zexi looked at her and asked.
Xia Ruoan nodded, "Yes, because it didn't cause any harm to me, and later Zhou Mufan and those hooligans got into a fight. Zhou Mufan was indeed a victim because he was protecting me."
"Then he contacted his family's lawyer to handle the matter. I didn't get involved. He just told me that the matter was resolved." Xia Ruoan nodded.
After that, Xia Ruoan never dared to walk around those streets again. She always took the bus directly to school and bookstore.
"Okay, I understand. Can you rest here during your lunch break? I have to go out for something in the afternoon." Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan and discussed.
"Or I can send you back to the Ou family." Xia Ruoan's parents and brother still live in the Ou family. Because Father Xia has not forgiven Grandpa Xia yet, they have not returned to the Xia family at all.
"No, I'm fine staying here. Is the matter urgent?" Xia Ruoan finally couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
Leng Zexi frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure and replied in a light tone: "It's okay, it's no big deal, I can handle it myself, you just need to wait for me at home." However, he did not reveal too much to Xia Ruoan about the specific situation.
Speaking of the incident when Xia Ruoan was intercepted by gangsters, the mastermind behind it was actually Zhang Kai.
Those gangsters had always been at odds with Zhang Kai. When they happened to see Zhang Kai following Xia Ruoan that day, they became malicious and tried to capture Xia Ruoan to threaten Zhang Kai.
But who would have thought that at the critical moment Zhou Mufan happened to pass by here, saved the beauty and resolved the crisis.
Xia Ruo'an later got together with Zhou Mufan, which was also somewhat related to Zhang Kai. I really don't know if Zhang Kai would be furious if he knew these inside stories!
