Chapter 47
"Indeed, as soon as I saw that name, along with An An's address, I was certain of it. But I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I wondered if Xia Lin would think of our old relationship and let us off the hook because of the old engagement."
Gu Yutong's words revealed some worry, but it was difficult to hide his sincere concern.
When Leng Zexi heard this, although his heart was a little moved, he did not dare to have excessive hopes. He just sighed softly, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
At this moment, Xia Ruoan slowly opened her eyes. Her vision blurred, and the familiar figure in the living room made her a little dazed for a moment.
"You...are awake? How do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Seeing this, Leng Zexi quickly stood up, walked gently to her side, gently supported her shoulders, and let her sit back on the sofa steadily.
"Why are you here?" There was some confusion and surprise in Xia Ruoan's voice. Obviously, she was surprised by Leng Zexi's appearance.
Still a little groggy from just waking up, Xia Ruoan rubbed his head.
Leng Zexi smiled slightly, that smile was both relieved and gentle: "Why do you think I am here?"
Leng Zexi's mouth corners slightly raised, with a gentle light flashing in his eyes, "Why, have you forgotten the fact that we are already husband and wife? Whether it's your place or my room upstairs, I can do it as long as you like."
"However, my mother did suggest that we move back home, but I declined her offer because I thought you might not be able to adapt to the environment there."
Leng Zexi saw that her hair was stubbornly sticking up when she was sleeping. He tried to smooth it down, but it seemed to become more stubborn the more he tried. It was just like her personality. He chuckled, his eyes full of doting.
"I feel that I'm more comfortable living here. After all, I'm more familiar with the living habits here." Xia Ruoan's words were filled with memories and relief, as if he also remembered the marriage certificate they had obtained.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Leng Zexi's answer was full of respect and love without any hesitation. He glanced at the clock on the wall, realized that it was late, and asked softly: "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll go get the ingredients and prepare dinner for you."
"I will try to make it light and make sure it suits your taste. Also, Aunt Rong will come over to help tomorrow. She will be responsible for cooking and keeping the house clean."
"She will live in the room above me, which will be convenient for us and we won't disturb each other. Don't worry, Aunt Rong knows her limits. She will start cleaning after we go out and leave after cooking. She will never disturb us."
Leng Zexi explained to her gently, his eyes full of consideration.
When Xia Ruoan heard this, he thought that his family might be worried, but since it was beneficial to him anyway, he did not refuse.
She thought about it and suggested, "Why don't we go out and buy some groceries together? I don't know what to eat, so I can just look around and buy at the same time." There was some anticipation in her words, as she hadn't gone out to buy groceries for a long time.
Leng Zexi did not refuse. After she changed her clothes, he took her out.
Their residence was not far from the vegetable market and close to the supermarket, which was very convenient. In addition to buying the food that Xia Ruoan asked for, Leng Zexi also selected a few dishes according to the recipes sent by his family, so that there would always be something for Xia Ruoan to eat.
"Let me help carry some." Xia Ruoan suggested, looking at the large and small bags in Leng Zexi's hands. Leng Zexi wanted to say no, but seeing her expectant look, he could only hand over the vegetables in his hand.
You help carry the vegetables." Leng Zexi handed her a small bag of vegetables.
Xia Ruoan didn't know what to say when looking at those vegetables. This was no different from not helping at all.
"The elevator door is open, come in." Leng Zexi raised his chin and motioned for her to go in.
Xia Ruoan took the vegetables reluctantly and followed him into the elevator.
In the elevator, the two of them sat in silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Leng Zexi looked at the vegetables in her hand and suddenly found it a little funny.
"Let me cook later." Leng Zexi said, breaking the silence.
"Ah?" Xia Ruoan was a little surprised, "You can cook?"
"Well, home-cooked meals are still okay." Leng Zexi smiled confidently.
Xia Ruoan nodded, and she felt more curious and appreciative of this man. After returning home, Leng Zexi asked Xia Ruoan to sit on the sofa and watch TV. When she was about to take the apron, the door was suddenly opened.
Leng Zexi and Xia Ruoan were both shocked.
Not to mention them, even Lin Cai was shocked when he came in and saw Leng Zexi.
"Leng Zexi, why are you here with my sister?" Lin Cai looked at them suspiciously.
Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan. Xia Ruoan saw the bed quilt that had been brought back from school, which had not been tidied yet. "Well, Third Brother, Big Brother Leng came to help me move my things up. We just happened to meet downstairs, and he saw me and helped me move my luggage."
"Really?" Lin Cai looked at Leng Zexi.
Leng Zexi smiled awkwardly. He wondered if he would be given leniency if he confessed now.
"What are you moving?" Lin Cai put his coat on the sofa and looked at the big and small bags.
"I have moved all my things back to the school dormitory and completed the check-out procedures. I will live here from now on." Xia Ruoan looked at him and said.
"What did you buy? If you have these things in the future, find someone to move them for you so you don't have to get tired yourself." Lin Cai said as he took out a card from his bag, "You know the password, so you don't have to save money for your brother."
"Third brother, I have money." Xia Ruoan said helplessly.
"It's okay to keep it as a backup. I earn money for you to spend anyway."
"Zexi, thank you for helping my sister move things. I'll treat you to dinner later." Lin Cai looked at him and ordered him to leave.
"Let's go buy some groceries. Brother Leng, please stay and have dinner first." Xia Ruoan tried to persuade him to stay after hearing this.
Lin Cai looked at the ingredients on the table and asked, "Did you go shopping for groceries?"
"Well, Brother Leng helped me move things, so I went shopping and bought a lot of vegetables, planning to invite Brother Leng to eat together." Xia Ruoan said guiltily.
"Don't be so polite. And if you owe someone a favor, just tell me and I'll thank you. You don't have to treat him to a special meal." Lin Cai didn't want to tire his sister out.
"But since you said so, An An, then Ze Xi, you should stay and have dinner before going back." Lin Cai looked at him and said.
Leng Zexi didn't dare to refute when he heard it, and wiped the sweat off his head.
"Okay, I'll help you." Leng Zexi nodded and said.
Lin Cai was now suspicious, "You can cook, is this true?"
"I cooked for myself during the three years I was abroad." Leng Zexi looked at him and said, "At that time, I didn't have any spare time, so I figured out how to cook."
"Then you had a good trip abroad. You even learned how to cook." Lin Cai joked.
"It's okay." Leng Zexi told Xia Ruoan not to worry, and he followed Lin Cai into the kitchen to cook dinner together.
"I bought so much to treat you because my An An is so honest. You are just helping the girl move some luggage. You really came here just because I told you to have a meal. Don't have any ideas about my An An." Lin Cai warned him.
