Chapter 270
Xia Ruoan and his group returned much earlier than originally expected.
It turned out that a small incident happened during this incident - Zhao Shuhui was unfortunately bitten by a snake!
All the medicine bags they carried to repel snakes and insects were soaked in water and completely lost their effectiveness.
In desperation, everyone had to end their trip early and return the same way.
Fortunately, despite such an unexpected situation, the goal of their trip has been achieved beyond expectations.
When Xia Ruoan saw Leng Zexi coming to pick her up at the airport from afar, the joy in her heart instantly turned into action, and she ran over without even bothering to hold the suitcase in her hand.
"Slow down!" Leng Zexi watched his beloved running towards him, his heart tightening and filled with worry.
He hurriedly put away the phone in his hand, took a big step towards Xia Ruoan, and at the last moment, he took her steadily into his arms.
"You're finally back." Leng Zexi gazed affectionately at Xia Ruoan, who looked a little thin in front of him, with a hint of pity in his eyes.
"I must have not taken good care of myself during this period. I have lost so much weight."
"When I get home tonight, I will cook delicious food for you myself and make sure you are plump and white."
After saying that, Leng Zexi gently rubbed Xia Ruoan's soft hair, his tone gentle and full of care.
At the same time, the teachers, seniors who returned with Xia Ruoan, both wives and husbands, also arrived at the airport one after another to welcome their significant other.
For a moment, the joy of reunion filled the entire waiting hall.
However, Zhao Han was the only one in the crowd, standing there alone, with no one coming to greet him.
In fact, it was not that he had not told his family about his return. However, when he passed the news to his wife, the response he got was just three short and cold words - I got it.
Not only that, his wife even made it clear that she was unable to come and greet him because she was busy.
Just when everyone thought that no one would come to pick him up at the airport and wanted to give him a ride back home, something unexpected happened.
Qiao Xin actually showed up, and her purpose was obviously to come and greet Zhao Han.
She walked up to him without hesitation, hugged Zhao Han's arm tightly, and then greeted everyone present with a smile.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and the atmosphere instantly became quite awkward.
Especially the teachers, when they saw the two being so intimate, they couldn't help but frown slightly.
If it were in the past, when men and women were unmarried, they might feel sincerely gratified when seeing such a scene.
But now that things have come to this, this situation can only make them feel disappointed.
After all, Qiao Xin had already left the college, and it was inconvenient for the teachers to interfere too much in her personal emotional state and behavior.
But Zhao Han is completely different. As a person who is still in college and has a family, wife and children, his words and deeds should be subject to more constraints and regulations.
At this time, Teacher Wen, who had been silently paying attention to the development of the situation, finally couldn't help but say to Zhao Han who was stunned in place: "Zhao Han, you must always pay attention to your own limits! You have to know that you are a man with a wife and daughter now."
Zhao Han looked at Qiao Xin in front of him, his heart was in a panic. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He quickly reached out and gently pulled Qiao Xin away, and said nervously: "Qiao Xin, don't do this."
At this moment, there was no trace of joy on his face, but instead it was filled with embarrassment and awkwardness.
Qiao Xin never expected that Zhao Han would push her away without hesitation in front of so many people.
At that moment, a trace of sadness that was hard to conceal flashed across her beautiful eyes, but she was unwilling to make Zhao Han feel embarrassed.
So he silently stepped back a short distance, but his steps still followed Zhao Han closely.
"I really didn't mean anything else. I just happened to see the circle of friends posted by my senior brothers and learned that you were coming back today, so I thought of coming to pick you up at the airport."
"Or... let me take you back?" Qiao Xin raised her head, looked at Zhao Han carefully, and said softly.
Zhao Han stared blankly at Qiao Xin, who seemed so humble and cautious at the moment, and his heart couldn't help but soften.
When had he ever seen Qiao Xin like this? After hesitating for a moment, he finally couldn't bear to let her continue to be embarrassed like this, and he also felt that he could take this opportunity to explain the matter to her face to face.
So Zhao Han turned around and nodded slightly to the teacher and other seniors, and said politely: "Teacher, we will go back first."
At this moment, a senior sister in the crowd seemed a little worried and couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, Zhao Han, don't forget that you are now a married woman!"
Zhao Han nodded when he heard it. "I have nothing to do with Qiao Xin. She is just a younger sister in my eyes now."
Hearing this, Qiao Xin's face instantly became very embarrassed.
She forced a smile, nodded slightly to the teacher and the seniors present, then lowered her head and quickly followed Zhao Han and left.
However, at this moment, when everyone faced Qiao Xin, displeasure appeared on their faces.
Some people couldn't help but complain: "Has Qiao Xin gone crazy? Back then, she would commit suicide because of Ouyang!"
"Now, she is chasing after a married man. There are so many men in the world, why is she so persistent?"
Another person took over the conversation and said, "I used to think she was a good kid with a sunny and cheerful personality, but now she has become like this. It is really hard to understand what she is thinking."
"Could it be that in her eyes, apart from those love entanglements, there is nothing else important? Just like that, a good seedling is completely ruined." Zhao Shuhui was also deeply disappointed after witnessing this scene.
Although the people around him did not respond out loud, everyone was actually thinking the same thing in their hearts.
At this time, a senior brother shook his head and sighed, "Alas, Zhao Han is really stupid. He clearly knows Qiao Xin's situation, but he still keeps in touch with her, and his behavior is completely out of control."
"No wonder his wife insisted on divorcing him. This is all his own fault!"
At this moment, Xia Ruoan happened to see Zhao Han getting into Qiao Xin's car, and he couldn't help but pray silently in his heart, hoping that Zhao Han would not regret his actions today in the future.
Leng Zexi greeted Xia Ruoan's teachers and senior students one by one with a smile, then turned around and left, holding Xia Ruoan's hand.
He opened the car door like a gentleman, helped Xia Ruoan sit in the passenger seat, and then walked around to the other side to get in the car.
As the engine roared, the car slowly drove away.
Just then, Xia Ruoan inadvertently caught a glimpse of Shangguan Lan holding her daughter's hand and getting out of a car.
She couldn't help but widen her eyes and thought to herself: What a coincidence!
Leng Zexi, who was sitting next to him, also noticed this scene. He turned around and looked at Xia Ruoan, and said softly, "Stay away from Qiao Xin in the future."
Xia Ruoan pursed her lips, looked at him and said, "I just saw Shangguan Lan and his daughter get off the car. It seems that they came here specifically to pick up Senior Brother Zhao."
"But who would have thought that Senior Brother Zhao would actually leave with Senior Sister Qiao."
After saying that, she shook her head slightly, seeming to feel somewhat helpless about Senior Brother Zhao's behavior.
Xia Ruoan frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the situation is not good."
"Given the personalities of our teacher and other brothers and sisters, I'm afraid they won't help Brother Zhao hide this matter."
Xia Ruoan then sighed, "It's no wonder Shangguan Lan wants a divorce. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to stand this kind of thing and would have filed for a divorce a long time ago."
Hearing this, Leng Zexi held Xia Ruoan's hand tightly, looked at her firmly, and said seriously: "The two of us will never go that far."
"I'm not someone as indecisive as Zhao Han."
Xia Ruoan felt the warmth coming from Leng Zexi's palm and responded: "Well, I believe you."
Leng Zexi did not take Ruoan home, but went straight to the company without stopping.
As soon as he entered the office, Leng Zexi said to Ruoan softly, "You must not have gotten enough rest on the plane. Lie down on the bed for a while. I'll call you when we get back."
"I have some urgent official business that needs to be dealt with right away." His words were full of apology and concern.
Hearing this, Ruo An quickly responded: "Actually, there's really no need to be so troublesome. I had planned to take a taxi back by myself, or you could arrange a driver to pick me up."
After saying that, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
However, Leng Zexi looked at her seriously and said affectionately: "I just want to see you earlier."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently laid Ruo An on the bed, then leaned over slightly and tenderly kissed her apple-like pink cheek.
Then, as if afraid of disturbing her, he added softly, "Okay, rest in peace, I won't disturb you."
As he spoke, he gently stroked the faint dark circles under her eyes, his eyes full of heartache.
Ruoan felt Leng Zexi's thoughtfulness and love, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She nodded obediently, slowly closed her eyes, and prepared to have a good sleep.
A loud quarrel suddenly came from outside the door, waking her up from her sweet dream.
"Shut up, everyone. What I want is a solution, not waiting here for you to shirk responsibility." Leng Zexi said and looked back in the direction of the lounge.
"Get out if you keep making noise."
