Chapter 227
Zhou Ling'er passed away after all. Xia Ruo'an learned this heartbreaking news only after she was pushed out of the delivery room.
Their child was taken out earlier than her and put into an incubator.
At this moment, Leng Zexi held Xia Ruoan's hand tightly, his eyes were red and he was about to cry.
"Sister Ling'er, have you seen our child?" Xia Ruoan asked weakly, because this was what she had been looking forward to for a long time.
Leng Zexi shook his head gently, his voice a little hoarse: "She told me to bring the children to visit Brother Ouyang more often in the future and comfort him for her..."
"When Zhou Ling'er passed away, the child was not yet born." Leng Zexi explained slowly.
"Ningning was born after she left!" Leng Zexi turned to look at Xia Ruoan and said gently.
"Ruo'an, don't cry. You can't cry like this after giving birth." Leng Zexi gently hugged her in his arms and said with a sigh, "She definitely doesn't want to see you so sad."
Xia Ruoan's eyes were filled with tears, and she was filled with regret and self-blame: "It's all my fault. If I had given birth to the child earlier, maybe Sister Ling'er would have been able to see our baby with her own eyes..."
Having said this, she could no longer hold back and tears burst out like a dam breaking.
Faced with Xia Ruoan's grief, Leng Zexi silently hugged her, but didn't know how to comfort her.
This matter was originally beyond the control of people. There was no way they would cut the baby out of the mother's womb just to let Zhou Ling'er see the baby.
After all, doing so is too risky. It may not only endanger the child's life, but also cause great harm to the mother.
Leng Zexi comforted him softly, "We can get together with Ouyang often in the future. Zhou Ling'er is so eager to see our child. In the final analysis, maybe she just wants to find a spiritual sustenance for Ouyang."
After saying this, he looked at the woman beside him tenderly.
"Regarding Zhou Ling'er's matter, haven't we been mentally prepared for a long time?" Leng Zexi continued, his eyes always fixed on the other person.
Xia Ruoan naturally understood the meaning of his words, but when she thought about that kind and beautiful person leaving the world forever, tears could not stop welling up in her eyes, and her sadness was beyond words.
After a while, Xia Ruo'an tried to calm down and slowly said, "For Zhou Ling'er's current situation, leaving may be a relief.
At least, she passed away peacefully without leaving behind too many regrets. "Although I said this, the deep regret and reluctance in my heart could not be erased.
At this moment, Xia Ruoan seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly told Leng Zexi: "I have someone to take care of you, there will be no problem.
You should go and help Senior Brother Ouyang. I really don’t know how he is doing now… The person who stays behind is often the one who suffers the most! "At the end, his voice couldn't help but choke.
Hearing his wife's words, Leng Zexi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood her concerns.
He held Xia Ruo'an's hand tightly, kissed her affectionately, and then replied firmly: "Don't worry, I have already discussed it with my eldest brother and several other brothers.
They will go over to help Senior Brother Ouyang deal with related matters, while I will stay here to take care of you and the children wholeheartedly."
"Thank you, thank you very much, thank you for giving birth to our child." Leng Zexi held Xia Ruoan's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude and joy.
Although he did intend to use this child to tie Juan down at first, when he saw the three cute little guys with his own eyes, the joy in his heart was beyond words.
They were the fruit of her love with Ruo'an! It was just a little regrettable that they were all boys, without even a sweet and caring little one.
At this moment, Xia Ruo'an seemed to suddenly remember something and asked hurriedly, "How are the children now? How long will it take before we can bring them back?"
Because the babies are premature and relatively weak, they still need to receive further observation and care in an incubator.
Hearing his wife's question, Leng Zexi quickly replied: "Don't worry, my brother has already been to the doctor, and the doctor said that he will be able to be brought back next week. Then we can go home together."
"Don't worry, the children are all in good condition, there's nothing to worry about." After saying that, he gently patted the back of Ruoan's hand to comfort her.
After hearing this, Xia Ruo'an was slightly relieved, but still felt a little regretful: "I was thinking I would have a well-behaved and lovely daughter, but who knew that three boys would come at once."
Leng Zexi seemed quite open-minded about this: "It's okay, sons are good too, and when they grow up, we don't have to be as cautious and nervous as we would be when raising a daughter."
"When they grow up a little, we can just let them roam free." Although he felt a little regretful about not having a daughter, when he thought about not having to worry too much about her in the future, he felt that this might not be a bad thing.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye a month has passed...
The three triplets who were once skinny and adorable have now become plump, fair and adorable. When people see them, they can't help but want to pinch their chubby cheeks.
Today is the children’s full moon celebration. Relatives and friends have come to congratulate them and brought all kinds of exquisite gifts.
Seeing the piles of gifts like small mountains in front of them, even Xia Ruoan, the mother, could not help but stare in amazement, secretly envying her precious sons.
Leng Zexi, who was standing nearby, noticed Xia Ruo'an's drooling look and thought it was cute and funny, so he teased her softly, "What's the matter, are you envious? You have it too."
In fact, to be honest, all these piles of gifts added together are far less than the precious things he gave to Xia Ruoan.
Thinking back to the beginning, he always thought that Xia Ruoan's heart and eyes were filled with the red tomatoes she carefully planted, but he never expected that deep in her heart she actually had a little money-grubbing nature.
Leng Zexi gently put his arm around Xia Ruo'an's shoulders, looked tenderly into her clear eyes, and said seriously: "When I officially take over the company, everything will belong to you."
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an was stunned at first, then turned to look at him suspiciously, and asked carefully: "Really? Give it all to me?"
Leng Zexi smiled slightly, nodded affirmatively, and then hugged her tightly from behind with both hands. The two of them leaned against each other and looked out through the bright window together.
In the courtyard downstairs, the person holding their third son Ningning was Ouyang.
You know, Ningning was brought out just three minutes after Sister Ling'er left.
Perhaps because of this, Ouyang always has a special preference for Ningning.
Xia Ruoan knew this very well. She knew that Ouyang truly regarded Ningning as an emotional support and comfort.
"Senior Brother Ouyang, you really dote on Ningning!" Xia Ruoan turned her head slightly, staring at Leng Zexi beside her with her beautiful eyes, and said softly.
After hearing this, Leng Zexi nodded silently in agreement.
Indeed, this was known to everyone and there was no secret at all. However, at this moment, what they wanted more was to hope that Ouyang could break free from the shadow of past emotions as soon as possible.
Leng Zexi paused for a moment and then continued, "Ouyang has now taken over the huge business left by his uncle. I think he will not return to work at the institute in the future."
As he spoke, his gaze unconsciously shifted to the distance, as if he saw through the scene before him the figure who was once full of passion and dreams.
"According to him, the reason why he devoted himself to planting roses and participating in rose cultivation was all because of Zhou Ling'er.
Now that Zhou Ling'er is no longer alive, he has naturally lost the interest and motivation to continue touching those roses. "Leng Zexi sighed softly, with a hint of regret in his tone.
At this moment, Leng Zexi seemed to suddenly remember something and added: "I just learned not long ago that Ouyang is actually a top student with two degrees, one of which is economics."
"If Zhou Ling'er had not left him, he would have taken over the family business long ago." His words were filled with admiration for Ouyang's talent and emotion for the tragedy of this relationship.
Hearing this, Xia Ruoan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
After a while, she slowly raised her head and responded calmly: "Yes, this is a kind of relief. Otherwise, every time I come into contact with things related to roses, I am afraid that all that will come to my mind are heartbreaking memories."
Xia Ruoan had no intention of advising or interfering with Ouyang's decision. After all, everyone has the right to make their own life choices.
But every time she thought of this, she couldn't help feeling sorry for the loss of such an outstanding talent in the field of rose research.
"I think the teacher must want you to go back, but it is probably impossible. What Ouyang has decided will not change."
Xia Ruoan looked at Ouyang who was gently coaxing Ningning.
"By the way, where are Suisui and Niannian?" Xia Ruoan looked around but couldn't find the other two children.
"My parents took her out to show off. Their friends always made fun of me for not being able to get married and having no grandchildren. They took her out to show them. If Ningning hadn't been held by Ouyang, they would have taken her out too." Leng Zexi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at his parents' behavior.
